Gwen

My story

Hey there friend, my name is Gwen! A few weeks ago, I wound up at Animal Control in Chicago; they held me there for 7 days, but no one came to claim me. That sounds like a sad story, but really that’s when everything changed for the better because the awesome folks at CEBR stepped in to help! I am about 7 years old (best guess, based on my microchip number) and my foster mom believes I may have been used to make puppies…but I won’t kiss and tell. I do well in a crate, maybe because I have spent a lot of time in them in the past. But my most favorite place to be is by my people! I get so excited to see them that I jump up to give them hugs and kisses! I sure love to snuggle too. My foster family tries to tell me about something called “personal space”, but I’m not really interested in that. I’ve made some new doggy friends at my foster home, and after some slow introductions (remember that thing about “personal space”?) I now get along great with everyone. My friends at CEBR have given me so much love and care already - I’ve gotten spayed, my teefers cleaned, my ears all cleaned up and my eyes are doing so much better too! I also have bad itchies, so they give me a medicine called Apoquel to help make me more comfortable. I gobble it down in a pill pocket, no problem! And I don’t mind at all when my foster mom cleans my ears, gives me eye drops, or bathes me…I just soak up all the attention. The one thing I am still working on is peeing outside. You see, maybe I didn’t learn that when I was younger, but I am working to get the hang of it! In the meantime, my foster mom puts down pee-pads that I go on, which makes cleanup a breeze! I sleep all night in my crate, but usually my blankets are wet when I wake up…so I create a little extra laundry, but I will give you so many kisses to make up for it! Life has been grand now that I’m feeling better and getting lots of love. Could your family keep my lucky streak going forever?
