Circumstances have changed for her current owner, so Harley now spends much of her day in her crate with only brief walks from a kind volunteer. She deserves a new forever home where she can soak up the attention and care she's been craving. This loving 65-pound girl truly lives up to the 'velcro dog' reputation and thrives on human connection. Her adorable habit of standing on her hind legs to offer big bear hugs is sure to melt your heart! Harley swings between bursts of playful zoomies and peaceful moments snuggled up for evening TV—you get the best of both worlds. While Harley does well with other dogs, her play style is very rough and boisterous, so she’s looking for a single-pet home where she can be your one and only. She would thrive in a home with space to play, ideally with a fenced yard or regular walks on a long lead. A semi-active, engaged lifestyle and a family with older kids would suit her best, as she doesn’t always realize how big she is! Harley comes spayed, fully vetted, and with a clean bill of health. She’s housebroken and crate trained, though she’s ready for a life filled with more enrichment, exercise, and affection. Smart and incredibly loving, Harley longs for someone to show her what it feels like to be truly cherished. If you're searching for a loyal, affectionate companion ready to shower you with devotion and fill your days with love, Harley is waiting to be your constant, loving sidekick. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
