Gwen - Maltese and Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Monroe, North Carolina

This is a whole 3 pounds of maltipoo who has no idea how rough her first year was.

When Gwen came to us she weighed 2.6 pounds, matted to the skin, thin, and covered in fleas, ticks, and worms. Police had pulled her from her owners, and she waited out a 15-day hold before they surrendered her. A grooming, regular meals, and a patient foster did the rest. Swipe back to see where she started.

She's 11 months old, loves people and other dogs, and is working on crate and potty training. Up to date on vaccines and scheduled to be spayed.
