About Harper

Meet Harper, a playful and affectionate young girl searching for her forever home. At just a year old, Harper's spirit shines despite her challenging start. Abandoned on the road as a puppy, she has since thrived in a loving environment where she learned what safety and affection mean. Harper is fully house-trained, knows how to use a dog door, and responds well to commands like sit and recall. She's also great on a leash, ready for adventures with her humans. Friendly and happy, she adores people and is always eager for attention and cuddles. Harper socializes well with larger dogs and has even cohabited peacefully with cats. However, she would be best suited to a home without small dogs due to some previous conflicts over resources in her current home. She's shown a tendency for resource guarding around food, but with the right family, patience, and positive reinforcement training, Harper will continue to grow. Her ideal family will provide her with the love, structure, and consistency that she craves, while understanding her needs as a young dog still learning. Harper is scheduled to be spayed and vaccinated soon, with her current family kindly covering these costs and providing food to help her transition well. Located in Sherwood, OR, Harper’s adoption fee has been waived for an approved home. If you can offer the environment she needs to flourish, don’t hesitate to reach out!
