In the shelter’s words

Hi, I'm Harley. I'm 4 years old, and I never thought I'd be the one looking for a new family. But here I am, and I'm hoping you'll take a moment to get to know me. I had space to be a dog — to explore, to zoom around, to just be free. But things changed. My family had to move into a two-bedroom apartment, and suddenly there was no more room to run. It was hard on all of us, especially my best friend, who's older now and doesn't have the patience he used to. I understand. He deserves peace and quiet in his golden years, and I deserve a home where I can be my playful self without stressing him out. It's nobody's fault. It's just what happens when a young pup and an old soul try to share a space that's become too small.. I've been loved since I was a tiny puppy — I know how to be someone's whole heart, because I already was. I LOVE people, especially kids. I'm a total cuddler and a snuggler. I love to sleep with my people. I walk nicely on a leash, I light up for car rides, and there's nothing I love more than a good hike with someone by my side. A fenced in yard where I could run and play, even just a little bit, I would be the happiest girl in the world.! I think what I want most, more than anything, is just to belong somewhere again — somewhere I can run and play without anyone getting tired of me. I would be thrilled to be your one and only so that I can hog all of your attention. I should be honest about everything, because I want my next family to really know me. My skin can be sensitive — grass, bugs, the changing seasons, all of it can set me off, and I can't have chicken. I've found that lamb-based food helps me feel my best, and right now I eat Pure Balance Lamb, Pea & Rice. I get a Cytopoint allergy shot every 4 to 8 weeks. Every once in a while, my skin or ears might flare up. I'm spayed and fully up to date on my shots. I want to be somebody's whole world again. I know I can be given a chance. I'm not asking for two acres. I'm just asking for a family who wants me the way I want them — completely, and with my whole heart. I don't have much time. If you can help, please reach out today. If that could be you, please reach out. I'd love the chance to show you how much love I have to give. If that could be you, please reach out. I'd love the chance to show you how much love I have to give. Love,Harley *GUEST POSTING* If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact Morgan Ann and she will tell you how amazing and adorable I am! Please text or call... sooner the better!!! 865-469-2186
