Arwen - 623

Picture
Arwen was pulled from a high kill pound in KY  when she was out of time.

She is housebroken and crate trained, she  does not have any issues with possessiveness or food guarding, and she loves  tummy rubs! She really wants to please people.  She does NOT care for the company of other dogs, tho she is making a small amount progress in that department ( tho cannot live with another dog, can tolerant non dominant dogs in  the next kennel/yard). She also likes to chase cats - so Arwen needs to be
an  "only child" - she would LOVE to be an only spoiled princess!

He is a big, pretty grey and white 3 year old boy that just needs some humans that will love him and take the  time to work with him. He plays very well with the other (female) dogs in the  household, and can be a real clown. He is housebroken, crate trained (even after  being locked in a crate for 2 years by his previous owners, this sweet boy will  still willingly go into his crate for dinnertime and bedtime). He just
needs  alot of TLC to make up for the lack of attention in his previous home.   
ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 2009
