About Harvey

Harvey is a 9-month-old Boxer with more wiggle than most dogs manage in a lifetime. At first, he sizes people up with a little shyness—he’s your classic ‘awkward first date,’ keeping his distance until he’s sure the vibe is right. But as soon as he trusts you, Harvey is all heart and zero personal space, a total love bug who will want to be wherever you are. He’s sharp too: crate trained and reliably house trained, though when things get busy or routines change, expect the odd accident until he settles. Harvey is happiest when there’s another dog around. He feeds off the confidence and energy of a canine buddy and loves a good round of play or zoomies. Motivation is no problem if there are treats within sniffing distance. A playful, silly sidekick who’s ready for a fun, active household—Harvey is looking for people to run, play, and snack alongside. If you want a loyal goofball who jumps in with both paws, Harvey’s your match. (And for astrology fans: born June 4, Harvey is a Gemini, so don’t be surprised if he’s a little bit of everything.)
