Arwen is a 3 year old female Belgian Malinois. She is very sweet but, like the rest of her breed, very energetic. We found ourselves unexpectedly with a young child shortly after adopting her, and we don’t have the time to provide her the attention and interaction she needs to be happy and fulfilled. She tends to try to herd very small children, but does not bite or otherwise become aggressive. She is not very vocal, but will sometimes “chirp” if she wants to get your attention. She very rarely barks. She spent two weeks with a live-in trainer and understands basic commands, however, she has a very short attention span. She’s very sweet and very smart. She is spayed.
