I'm ready for my new family!

Hi! My Name Is Harper

I'm Available

Meet beautiful Harper! 

She was found as a stray with two other dogs, one believed to be a pup from a prior litter.

Harper was pregnant with another litter, and the shelter spayed her, thus ending her pregnancy. Between losing her litter, getting separated from her other pup, and dealing with heartworms, this little angel has been through it.

She went into total panic mode at the shelter, and while attempting to climb out of the open top kennel run, she tore open her abdomen. That required a surgical repair. When she came back to the shelter, she once again tore open the surgery site, trying to escape, so surgery two was done. 

We were able to make room to take her in, and life has calmed down tremendously for her. And now that she is finished with her heartworm treatment, it's time to find this girl a forever family! 

Harper is about a year and a half old and weighs around 50 pounds. She LOVES people and absolutely adores other dogs. She truly thrives in the company of other pups and will need a home with at least one established dog to help her feel safe and secure and be her new best friend. 

She’s done great with the cat in her foster home and is gentle and sweet with kids of all ages. She loves going for walks and is a dream on leash. She’s also wonderful in public, meaning she would be happy to join you at the office, out to brunch, or on any adventure where dogs are welcome. She truly wants to be included in whatever you're doing! As long as she's with you, she's a happy girl! 

Harper has a severe fear of storms and loud noises, but her foster family has successfully managed this with a combination of medication and support. Her forever home will need to be prepared to continue that care with patience and understanding.

Harper also cannot be kennelled or confined. Attempting to do so causes her to go into an extreme panic, which leads to self-injury. She does best in a home where she has the freedom to move around and be near her people and dog friends. 

Harper sometimes forgets to go potty when she’s outside, so even with regular bathroom breaks, she may still have accidents indoors. She isn’t able to hold her bladder for long stretches, but her foster family has had great success using a pee pad to manage this and keep her clean and comfortable. A consistent routine and a little grace will go a long way with this sweet girl.

Despite all she’s endured, Harper is incredibly loving, affectionate, and resilient. She’s a world-class snuggler with a heart of gold. All she wants is to feel safe, loved, and part of a family.

Harper is currently being spoiled in her Memphis-area foster home and is accepting applications for her forever family and her long overdue happy tail.
