About Harvey

Harvey is a gentle soul who carries the wisdom of age at about 10 years old. It’s clear he once knew what it was like to be loved and cared for. This large German Shepherd, weighing around 60 lbs, has impeccable manners and a smart demeanor. While he understands the world around him, he’s puzzled by his current situation. Though he has experienced some muscle loss in his face, vet checks confirm his bloodwork and X-rays are good, and he eats just fine. It's uncertain what led to this condition, but it doesn't define him. He enjoys the company of friendly dogs and is fully vetted. Harvey deserves a warm home where he can enjoy his golden years by following his person around, rather than spending days in a kennel. If you’re drawn to older dogs with character, Harvey is waiting to meet you. Let’s give him the home he longs for. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
