Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gwen was code red on her last day when she was rescued from Ramona Humane Society. She came into the shelter picked up by animal control while she was being attacked by two other dogs. Gwen was extremely emaciated and had wounds all over her. Well thanks to the care provided by the shelter and an outside vet, you can't even tell it's the same dog anymore! To no fault of Gwen's she did become dog reactive which comes to no surprise given her history. We took a chance on her and rescued her at the last second and she went straight into training with her wonderful foster. As you can see from the photos, she holds no grudges. She is a happy little girl who just wants to play and now lights up when she gets to play with all the other dogs. She has been working on some basic manners and obedience as well and is progressing beautifully. She loves people and children, to be in your lap demanding attention and has mastered her begging face when you're in the kitchen cooking food. She also can play ball with you for hours and likes to get rubbed while sitting in the kiddie pool.
Gwen's ideal home would be with a bully breed experienced adopter, older children would be best as sometimes she doesn't understand all the punch she packs in her little body. She would need proper introduction to other dogs living in the home, and no cats as she has very high prey drive. Gwen would be an amazing addition to a more active home, especially one who does hiking. She's very happy go lucky and outgoing. She can be a ball of energy, but she also knows when it's time to calm down and just relax with the rest of the family. Gwen needs continued guidance and leadership to keep her on the right path to succeeding and being the best dog she can be.
