Anna Duggar is back online with a new social media presence while her husband, Josh Duggar, serves a federal prison sentence.

In a TikTok posted Wednesday, Feb. 18, Anna appeared on camera with a noticeably different look, debuting a blonde hairstyle as she introduced three dogs to followers of her dog adoption business, Golden Grove Pups. The business has built an audience of roughly 6,400 users across platforms.

The post is among her first public social media updates since Josh, 37, was arrested in April 2021 and later sentenced in May 2022 to more than 12 years in federal prison after being convicted on charges of knowingly receiving and possessing child pornography. He is serving his sentence at FCI Seagoville in Texas, with an expected release date in 2032.

Before that case, Josh was also accused of molesting five girls, including two of his sisters.

After his release, Josh is expected to be supervised by a parole officer for 20 years and is prohibited from having unsupervised contact with minors, including his own children. Josh and Anna share seven children: daughters Mackynzie, Meredith, Maryella, and Madyson, and sons Michael, Marcus, and Mason.

Throughout Josh’s legal troubles and other controversies, including his admission of infidelity, Anna has continued to support him. Following his conviction in December 2021, she wrote to the judge ahead of sentencing requesting what she described as a fair sentence that would allow their family to be reunited.

In addition to his prison term, Josh was ordered to pay more than $50,000 in fines and special assessments.

Since his conviction, Anna has largely stayed out of the public eye and removed her personal Instagram account, where she previously posted frequently about her family. More recently, she has returned to platforms such as TikTok and Instagram to promote Golden Grove Pups.

On the account, she regularly posts photos and videos of English cream golden retrievers that she breeds and socializes at home. While the content centers on the dogs, some videos also include appearances by her children, who are shown interacting with the puppies or speaking briefly to the camera.

According to the Golden Grove Pups website, the dogs are raised in a family setting alongside children and other animals, with an emphasis on early socialization meant to help them become adaptable companions.
