Oh — hi! Gwen here.

I'm quiet at first, but once you earn my trust, I blossom into your gentlest shadow—I promise.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm a seasoned soul, which is a fancy way of saying I've perfected the art of the afternoon nap and the grateful sigh.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

I'm a Oakland local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Halloween I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Gwen

About Gwen

Gwen – Sweet, Gentle, and Affiliative Gwen is a 8-year-old German Shepherd Dog mix weighing 68 pounds. She's a lovely, affectionate girl who enjoys being close to her people and is eager to engage especially when there are treats involved. Easy walking companion: Gwen walks nicely on leash with very little pulling and appears likely to be potty trained, eliminating promptly once outside. Affectionate and gentle: She approaches her person for attention and happily accepts pets and affection, especially when invited in gently. Smart and food motivated: Gwen quickly discovers the treat pouch and is ready to participate! She enjoys find-it games, knows "sit" and is practicing "down". Responsive and adaptable: She may bark when another dog passes by, but she can be redirected easily and return her focus to her person. Gwen would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with appropriate dog friends.
