Story
Gwen is so cute and totally petite. She is definitely a little husky. She is a bit on the shy side and will need some love and reassurance to build her confidence. Don't we all? Come to the shelter and meet this girl. She is so wonderful and deserving of a fresh start with people who will help build her self esteem. She is good with other dogs too. Gwen is 9 months old and weighs 30 pounds.The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting Gwen, please stop by the shelter during open hours or complete an adoption application on our website. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it along to meet Gwen.helpingstrays.orgGwen has heartworms and will be starting treatment soon. She would greatly benefit from having a calm home to recuperate in rather than trying to rest in a noisy and stressful shelter environment. If you would like to provide a foster home during Gwen's heartworm treatment, Helping Strays will provide everything you need; the medical care, crate, food, etc. Gwen can still be adopted but will need to come back to the shelter periodically to complete her treatment which is covered in the adoption fee.
