About Harvard

Meet Harvard, or as his friends call him, Harvey! He has a big personality that matches his playful nature. Harvey has cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes him wobbly on his feet and prone to falling over, but that doesn’t hold him back. He loves to play with toys, jump around, and have a good time, especially with his sister Berkeley and kids. Cuddling is also high on his list of favorites. While he's adapted to using a litter box, Harvey dreams of mastering the big litter robot. Although he has two large dog friends who bark loudly, they don't intimidate him one bit—he barks right back! He enjoys soaking up the sun on the porch but can’t go outside due to his special needs. Currently living with a foster family, he’s ready for a permanent home. If you have room in your heart for both him and his sister, that would be perfect! Let’s give Harvey the family he deserves.
