HARLEY IS LOCATED IN LOUISVILLE, OH.

Brief description: Hello, my name is Harley and I’m a super sweet girl. I take a few minutes to warm up to new people and dogs but I will come around. I am playing nice with my foster fur siblings - a 5 month old English Mastiff, 3 yr old Great Dane and, a 7 year old Australian Shepard.

Likes: I love attention and I do like to play but I really like to be with a human.

Dislikes:  High energy dogs at first but I’ll just hide behind my human until I evaluate the situation. I’ll eventually join in, but on my terms.

Personality:  I’m very spunky and just a fun loving little puppy.

Temperament:  I’m pretty easy going, not much to complain about yet at not even 5 months old. I was told I can adjust to anything - I just have that vibe about me!

Energy level:  I will meet your level but I wear out fast ... if you want to go I’ll go, or sit I’ll sit but I do get puppy bursts and will need some play time to wear me out.

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: S o far I like dogs and humans. My foster mom says I'm good with both.  And I'm good with car rides - I had a long drive to my foster home.

Housetrained: Working on it!

Crate trained: Yes! 

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Yes.

Walks well on a leash? I do  very well on a leash so far and continued walks and training will keep me on the right path.

Challenges: None to speak of...she's a typical puppy!

Any Medical issues? None

What would be the best kind of home?  Harley has  energy to burn but is also a huge snuggle bug. Like any puppy, Harley needs someone who is willing to invest some time into training her and working with her on manners.  She's great with people, big and little, and would be a great addition to any family.  She deserves lots of love and attention and can't wait to find her happy furever home!
