My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Arwen!

Are you ready to welcome a 70-pound bundle of energy and personality into your life? Arwen is searching for a family that can keep up with her lively spirit. She prefers to be the only dog in the house but is ok seeing other dogs walking outside at a comfortable distance. Although she loves her kennel staff and trainers, she prefers a smaller circle of friends and can find young children a bit overwhelming. Could you be the perfect friend for Arwen?

**Arwen's Skills and Interests:**

Training Enthusiast: Arwen is honing her basic cues and loose leash walking. With her love for food and toys, she's highly motivated to learn more.

Outdoor Adventurer: Arwen is the ideal hiking buddy! She loves the great outdoors, basking in the sun, and exploring new scents. She's also a parkour pro, enjoying jumps on rocks, benches, and tree stumps.

Favorite Treats: Cream cheese and chicken are at the top of her list.

Favorite Toys: She can't get enough of stuffy toys.

Car Rides: Arwen is a fan of car rides and makes a great travel companion.

Enrichment Activities: She enjoys enrichment boxes that challenge her and keep her entertained.

Affectionate Moments: Once she gets to know you, Arwen loves booty scratches.

**Cues Arwen Knows:**
- Sit
- Down
- Touch
- Muzzle training in progress
- Loose leash walking
- Relaxation

Arwen is an amazing dog who would thrive in an active home with a family ready to give her lots of love, training, and outdoor adventures. If you think you can keep up with her spirited nature, Arwen would love to meet you!

My adoption comes with some extra benefits at the time of adoption!

Arwen is an All-Star dog!
