About Harper

Harper, formerly known as Molly, is a spirited girl who brings excitement wherever she goes. Approaching 10 months old, she is ready for new adventures and a family to call her own. Her previous family described her as a playful companion who thrives on being active, always wanting to be involved in the fun. Harper enjoys car rides and displays a calm demeanor, despite her playful puppy energy. She needs a bit of guidance to interact well with humans, as her instincts from her herding breed can lead her to nipping if not managed. Ideally, Harper would thrive in a home with older children or an adventurous adult who can match her enthusiasm. She has been known to coexist well with dogs and, with slow introductions, she may also adapt to living with cats. If Harper sounds like the right fit for you, she's eager to meet new friends!
