Though she was born into the world of hunting dogs, Harry’s heart was never meant for hunting. Living alongside a pack of hunting dogs, she showed no interest in chasing, hurting, or killing other animals. Instead, Harry proved herself to be something far more special: kind, peaceful, affectionate, and full of love. Because she refused to hunt, her former owner decided she had no value to him. At just 9 months old, Harry’s life was nearly taken simply because she would not become the hunting dog he wanted. She was also forced to spend most of her young life outdoors, treated as a tool instead of the loving companion she truly is. Even after deciding she was “useless,” her owner would not even help transport her to safety. Thankfully, a compassionate relative stepped in before it was too late and gave Harry the chance she deserved. When we got her she was covered in woodticks, clearly this pup has had poor care in her short life. No more!!! We will never understand how anyone can discard an innocent animal simply for being gentle. Harry’s story is heartbreaking, but it is also a story of survival, compassion, and hope. Despite everything she has endured, Harry remains incredibly loving and trusting. She is soft-hearted, calm, and sweet beyond words. She does not want to hunt — she wants to be loved. Harry would much rather curl up beside her people, enjoy a warm bed, and finally experience life as part of a family instead of being left outside to fend emotionally on her own. In a short 24 hours she has learned the love of getting belly rubs with her foster mom who says she is so very sweet and gentle. Harry will never again be forced to hunt for someone’s approval. She is not a killer; she is a lover. Now she is searching for a home that sees her true worth — not for what she refused to do, but for the beautiful soul she is. If you are looking for a loyal, gentle companion with endless love to give, Harry may just be your perfect match. www.uniteddobermanrescue.orgUnited Doberman Rescue Adoption Process Application Submission: Complete the adoption application thoroughly.
