Harley

My story

Harley is a sweet, gentle, 35lb, 12-year-young "doodle" whose world was turned upside down when her beloved guardian sadly passed away. Now, this lovely girl is ready to fill someone else’s home with warmth, loyalty, and plenty of tail wags.  Harley is the perfect blend of laid-back cuddle companion and backyard superstar. One minute she’s your devoted couch buddy, happily soaking up snuggles, and the next she’s outside, chasing a ball and barking at squirrels with surprising enthusiasm.  She has the most endearing personality and isn’t shy about showing it - especially when you come home or someone visits. Expect an exuberant greeting, and a stuffed animal presented to you as a prized gift to celebrate your return. Harley has been thoroughly checked by the vet and is in good overall health, with no mobility issues. She previously experienced some UTIs, but those have been treated and resolved. She has a few non-concerning lumps and bumps that the vet is not worried about. She’s a perfect lady at vet visits and grooming appointments. Nail trims aren’t her favorite activity, but she tolerates them like a champ. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. In the car, Harley can be a little nervous but despite this she does travel well. She is housetrained, knows her basic commands, and walks well on leash. She even has a few tricks which she’s happy to show off for a tasty treat. Although she is crate trained, she doesn’t require one and can be left home alone without issue. She has lived with older children (ages 11 and 12) but is untested with very young children. Currently, Harley shares her home with another dog who prefers to be left alone, and Harley is an obliging housemate.  She will growl and snap if she’s lounging with her human and another dog invades her space; Harley's good communication skills let the other dog know she's not pleased and have  never resulted in anything physical like a bite. Managing her environment to make sure she has her own space deters this behaviour and helps her feel secure. She has stayed with a cat before and ignored the cat. Harley’s young at heart spirit shines bright.  Now she is waiting for a cozy home to live out her golden years and shower her forever family with all her love!   February 18, 2026, 8:24 am
