About Gwen

Meet Gwen, a lovely Border Terrier who found her way to the shelter with her sister, Gita. Since arriving, Gwen has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate dog, but she’s still learning to navigate the world around her, so patience is key for any potential adopter. She’s shown adaptability with medium-sized dogs and larger, although she might feel overwhelmed by very energetic dogs, so thoughtful introductions are important. As for her background, there’s no history with cats or children, making it essential to be mindful as she adjusts to a new home. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is also providing a $200 training voucher with every dog adoption, allowing new owners to connect with local trainers specializing in positive reinforcement. This can help strengthen the bond between Gwen and her future family. Ready to meet this adorable girl? She’s eager to find a loving home!
