About Arwen
Arwen is a tenderhearted three-year-old Terrier weighing about 13 pounds, looking for someone to offer her the gentle, steady love she’s missed out on. She arrived as a stray, limping from old injuries likely caused by being hit by a car. After a full veterinary evaluation, it’s clear she gets around surprisingly well—she just has a mild limp, mainly on slick floors. Surgery isn’t needed, but she’ll always have some limitation with her back legs. This shouldn’t stop her from living a good life, but whoever takes her home should be mindful of that. Recent bloodwork revealed elevated liver enzymes, suggesting some past or current stress to her liver. These levels should be rechecked in about two months to watch for improvement or changes. Arwen can act a little head-shy when she’s not sure about someone, so patience and a slow approach matter. Once she’s comfortable, her true self—sweet, social, and genuinely happy—emerges easily. She does well with other dogs, though her companions are best matched to her own small size. House-training status is unknown. Every animal in our care, including Arwen, receives a spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite screening and prevention, and a post-adoption wellness exam.
