Arwen will be in Northern New Jersey after December 14th

For more information about Arwen please visit https://www.ehrdogs.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=15126503

 

About Arwen Gio

  • Status: Available for Adoption (adoption info)
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Black with White
  • Current Size: 22 Pounds
  • Current Age: 8 Months (best estimate)
  • Housetrained: Yes
  • Obedience Training Needed: Well Trained
  • Exercise Needs: High
  • Reaction to New People: Friendly
Arwen was surrendered to a rescuer when her family realized that puppies have tons of energy & that this girl needed more outdoor time & exercise than they could give her. Arwen is a great dog - smart, caring & well trained. She spent 2 weeks at a special board and train facility so she knows a lot of commands and is great on leash. She enjoys her crate time although she enjoys spending time outside, running off some of that puppy energy!

Arwen is a very special girl and whoever adopts her is going to be very lucky indeed. She is looking for an active home with people who will give her the time and attention a puppy requires to grow into a wonderful family pet.

If you'd like to meet Arwen, please fill out a dog adoption application at www.ehrdogs.org & be sure to ask for her by name, ARWEN!

Pearl is a bulldog mix approximately 3 years of age. This little girl ended up in a rural North Carolina county kill shelter.  She was rescued the same week she was scheduled to be euthanized.  Sadly, Pearl had complications while being spayed and she had to be rushed to the hospital.  The doctors were able to save her, but they had to remove one of her kidneys to stop the internal bleeding.  She has recovered and is ready to be adopted.  This little girl is destined for some good luck soon.  Maybe you will be the good luck she needs?

A fenced yard and a leash are musts.  Pearl is seeking a family or person who can provide that balanced amount of play time and lying on the couch.  Pearl has been spayed.

If you'd like to meet Pearl, please complete an application at www.ehrdogs.org & be sure to mention her name - PEARL!  She will be in New Jersey after December 2nd.
