About Harley

Meet Harley, the playful rockstar ready to bring joy to your life. This lively young pup, around 2-3 years old, is a small mixed breed, likely a Lhasa Apso and Maltese blend. With a creamy white coat, Harley weighs about 16 pounds and exudes energy and affection. He’s had a bit of a rough start but fortunately did not contract parvo during his brief stay at Lancaster Shelter. Harley has a heart of gold and is as friendly as they come. He can be a bit protective at times but warms up quickly, becoming everyone's best friend after a gentle introduction. His morning greetings are full of joyful jumps and kisses that show just how grateful he is for your companionship. He’s also house trained, waiting for his walks to take care of business and often responding reliably on command. Harley thrives in an active environment, ideally with kids over 8 years old and at least one canine companion to keep him company. While he enjoys being playful and learning about toys, he’s also a fan of cuddles, especially belly rubs on the couch. Harley is neutered, vaccinated, and all set to find his forever home.
