About Harry

Harry is a charming little guy with a sweet and silly personality. He found himself in the shelter after his owner fell ill, and although his coat was matted and his hair covered his eyes, he’s recovering well. With a bit of time and good nutrition, he’ll have a beautiful coat. Harry is around 7 to 9 years old and weighs 17 lbs. He has some limited vision and hearing but gets around just fine, always close to you. This gentle soul loves spending time in the yard or going for walks. He prefers not to be left alone all day, as he thrives on companionship. Harry is great with both dogs and cats, so he can fit in well with many households. Though he has a kind nature, we recommend a home without very young children who may be inexperienced with smaller dogs. He’s a little hypoallergenic gem who won’t shed much, making him a great choice for those with allergies. If you're looking for a loving companion, Harry will surely steal your heart.
