About Harper

Meet Harper! Harper is a 2-year-old Boxer/Border Collie mix who weighs around 45 lbs and is brimming with love and energy. She’s always up for a game of fetch and, true to her word, will happily bring the ball or toy right back every time. Harper thrives when she has plenty of room to run and play, and she’d love a yard where she can stretch her legs—life in a high-rise just isn’t quite her speed. Despite her active nature, Harper also has a softer side. After playtime, she’s content to curl up for a cuddle with her favorite people. She gets along great with other playful dogs and would be happiest with either a furry companion or an engaged human willing to toss a ball now and then. She’s fully immunized, healthy, spayed, and quick to adjust to new routines—she even uses a slow feeder to keep her meals more relaxed since she tends to eat fast. Harper is looking for a new home simply because her current family has to move, and she promises to bring devotion, fun, and plenty of tail wags wherever she goes. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
