Gwen Mixed Breed Brattleboro, VT

Master of Vibes, Water Enthusiast, Certified Good Girl

Gwen is a 2-year-old mixed breed with 55 lbs of perfectly balanced energy, emotional intelligence, and general life-enhancing presence. She’s the kind of dog you look at once and immediately feel like she already lives in your house. She doesn’t try too hard—she just is that good.

She’s stunning, sure. But she’s also the kind of pretty that comes with no ego. Gwen’s way more into your attention than her reflection. She’ll happily trade model poses for belly rubs, or better yet, a quick backyard splash session—because Gwen loves water like some dogs love cheese. Hose on? She's ready. Kiddie pool? She's already in it. If you’re not water people yet, she’ll convert you.

Gwen’s the definition of emotionally available. She is ridiculously affectionate with her people—always close, always watching, always ready for a cuddle session or a little check-in nuzzle. But she’s not clingy or intense. She just gets it. If you’re working, she’s chilling. If you’re moving, she’s trotting along behind you like your very best shadow. She’s as loyal as they come without being overbearing.

Dog-friendly? Absolutely. Gwen has that rare gift of reading other dogs with scary accuracy. She won’t overwhelm your senior pup, and she won’t back down from a good zoomie chase with a young one either. She adjusts her energy like she’s been socialized by a therapist. She’d love to have a dog sibling—but doesn’t need one. She’s confident, independent, and content to soak up your attention solo if that’s the setup.

Her calm demeanor indoors makes her an absolute dream to live with. Gwen’s crate-trained, house-trained, and a complete pleasure to train because she actually wants to please you. There’s no stubborn streak, no weird quirks to manage—just a soft, steady soul who wants to get it right and be part of your life.

And while Gwen’s clearly thriving now, it hasn’t always been this easy for her. She came from a tough start, but you’d never know it. She’s left it all behind without a trace of bitterness—just this open-hearted, gentle energy that makes people fall for her in about five minutes flat. She’s proof that dogs don’t hold grudges, they just hold out hope for someone who will see how special they really are.

If you’ve been waiting for a dog who’s as affectionate as she is low-drama, who brings out the best in other dogs and people, who won’t chew your shoes or ignore your cues—Gwen is it. She's the kind of dog you take on one walk and everyone in your neighborhood learns her name before they learn yours.

She’s easy to love, easier to live with, and whoever brings her home is getting a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. We’re not saying she’s perfect—but, yeah… she kind of is.
