Arwen’s story is heartbreaking. She was dropped off at an emergency vet’s office with a horrific injury across her back. The area was infected and swarming with maggots. The vet’s office worked tenaciously to heal this sweet girl with the awful pain. No matter what medical procedures she endured, she greeted them with a wagging tail and wonderful disposition. In the meantime, her people vanished and never checked on her again. Now we are on the quest to find this beautiful and gentle Australian shepherd the happy ending she deserves.
Arwen is about 4-5 years old. She is fairly mellow and, although she can be playful, she wouldn’t mind being a couch potato much of the day. She loves to cuddle with her humans and thinks snuggling is just the best.
Arwen is completely housetrained, does well in her crate, and is working on leash training. She’s pretty polite in the house and has lovely manners.
Arwen is deaf and is learning hand signals. She understands “sit” and “no” and is working on other signs. She’s very food motivated and is eager to show off for treats. Arwen would prefer a physical, fenced yard because she absolutely loves being outside. She would love a big yard where she could roam and explore. She barks at the door when she needs to go potty or would like to go play.
Arwen is very friendly with other dogs and would enjoy having a friendly fur sibling. Because she has a patch of fur that might not grow back, she wears a shirt in the cold and will need to be protected in the sun. She has the most remarkable blue eyes and the cutest head tilt.
Sweet Arwen is being fostered in the St. Louis area. Because the trip here was tough on her, we’d like to keep her adopted relatively locally.
