About Adriana AKA Harper

Adriana, known by some as Harper, is an 11-year-old Terrier mix who came to Big Dog Ranch from a Georgia shelter, arriving with her closest friend, Corey. These two are inseparable and must be adopted together. Adriana has spent most of her life with Corey, drawing comfort and confidence from their bond. She thrives in a quiet, stable setting and takes life at a slow, easygoing pace. Affectionate but reserved at first, Adriana warms up and reveals a big heart—especially if you offer her some favorite toys and calm company. She is housetrained, handles well on a leash, and knows her basic commands. Adriana does best in an adult-only home with no other animals except for Corey, as she is selective with other dogs and does not get along with cats. Her ideal adopter has some dog experience and values a peaceful, steady environment. Adriana is particularly well-suited for someone looking for laid-back, loyal companionship for their golden years. She and Corey are ready for a second chance in a loving home where they can settle in together. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
