Meet Harley! This stunning girl is ready to ring in the holiday season with a forever family. Harley is about 1 year and 7 months old and weighs around 45–50 lbs. While we can’t confirm her breed without a DNA test, her medical records label her a Kelpie/Husky mix. With her sleek short coat and striking blue eyes, she definitely knows how to turn heads! Harley was found as a stray in Texas and has been waiting for her second chance since September. The shelter describes her as a mix of silly, sweet, and affectionate. She loves being close to her people and is happiest by your side. Whether you're heading out for a walk or relaxing at home, Harley eagerly wants to be part of the fun. She's dog-friendly and enjoys playtime with canine companions, making her a great match for a home with another playful dog. However, she can also thrive as the only dog in a family dedicated to giving her attention and exercise. Reportedly, Harley is a happy and enthusiastic walking partner. Daily walks and outdoor adventures will benefit her, and she’ll require ongoing training to ensure she continues developing her household manners. It's essential to note that we don’t have confirmation of her full house-training, so her new family should be patient and ready to help her adjust. Moving from a shelter to a home is a big transition for Harley. She’ll need time to decompress, settle into her new routine, and learn to feel comfortable in her surroundings. Any adopter should be prepared to guide her gently during this adjustment period. While her affectionate personality is promising, it's important to approach any introductions with children cautiously due to her size and excitement. We currently don't have information about her behavior around cats or small animals, so compatibility with them would need to be assessed. A home with access to a secure yard where she can play would be ideal, but she could also thrive in an apartment as long as her exercise and enrichment needs are consistently met. Ultimately, Harley needs someone who sees her for the wonderful dog she is, ready to make a lifelong commitment. As the shelter faces overcrowding, dogs like Harley are in urgent need of loving homes. Harley is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, ready to bring joy to her new family. Transportation to her adopters in Texas is included in the adoption fee, though in-person meetings prior to adoption aren’t possible. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
