About Harley

Harley is a spirited two-year-old cattle dog weighing in at 54 pounds. Surrendered by her owner in Yakima, she has a joyful personality and is always seeking companionship, especially from her humans. Harley thrives on playtime, whether chasing balls, frisbees, or even splashing in the hose. She’s confident and friendly with dogs and people, including kids and teens, making her a great family pet. This active girl is also quite intelligent, learning tricks quickly and demonstrating excellent recall. Harley isn't fond of loud noises or being crated alone, so she will benefit from continued crate and separation training.

Living currently in Portland, OR, she's ready for her forever home. If you're interested in this lovely girl, take a moment to fill out an adoption application on our website.
