Gwen - Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in New Cumberland, West Virginia

Meet Gwen, aka Lucy! 💕🐾

Hi there! I'm Gwen, but my foster mom calls me Lucy--and honestly, I answer to both! I'm a fun-loving, energetic girl with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a serious talent for turning just about anything into playtime. 🎾

I've been through a lot, including two extensive FHO surgeries--one on each hip--and let me tell you, I have been quite the trooper! Through it all, I've kept my happy spirit and my love for life. These days, I'm ready to put my past behind me and focus on the important things: playing, loving my people, and keeping tabs on everything happening around me. 🩷

I'm a girl who thrives on stimulation and activity. I would absolutely love a home where I can stay busy with playtime, enrichment, toys, walks, and plenty of things to keep my clever brain occupied. If I don't get enough stimulation, I may decide that your shoes, pillows, blankets, or other household treasures look like excellent entertainment. 😉 A family who understands that an energetic pup needs outlets for all that enthusiasm will be my perfect match!

I'm also a social butterfly! I do well with other dogs, cats, and children, so I'm happy to share my home and my heart. When we first meet, I might be a tiny bit on edge and need a moment to figure things out. But give me about 10 seconds, and you'll see the real me emerge: a goofy, loving, energetic pup who is ready to play and soak up some affection. ❤️

And if you ever wonder what I'm thinking, just look out the window. I am a very keen observer and absolutely refuse to miss a single thing. Birds? Interesting. Neighbors? Must investigate. Something moving in the distance? I'm watching. I can spend plenty of time taking in the world from a window or from the front lawn, making sure everything is exactly as it should be. 👀

I'm spayed, up to date on my core vaccinations, and current on monthly preventions, so I'm all set for my next adventure.

After everything I've been through, I'm ready for the best chapter yet--a home that will keep me active, give me lots of love, and appreciate the silly, spirited girl that I am.

Could you be my forever family? I'm ready to meet you! 🐶💗
