Harley The Good

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi new friends, my name is Harley the Good and I'm a sweet and loving 6.5 year old lady, approx 60 lbs, looking for my forever family. I have already had a family. And here's the thing - the past is the past. But, while I'm a firm believer that it's important not to dwell on what may have happened in previous times, sometimes it's good to know where someone is coming from. I was not treated very well by my last family. I was kenneled for long periods of time. I was punished. I was exposed to some meaner dogs and I was not shown much love. I wasn't taken anywhere, so I'm scared of some things, like cars driving by when I'm on a walk. I don't like to talk about these things. I'm ready to move on! I want my own "happily ever after!" So here's where I'm at today. I have learned that the crate doesn't have to be associated with bad things. I sleep in there at night without a peep. I also stay in there when foster mom has to leave me for work. I bark a little bit at first, but I settle very quickly. This crate is nice! It's big enough, there's a bed and a boneI don't mind it. I also eat in my crate. This is because I have an urge to protect my food from other dogs. I was underweight when I came to my foster mama, so it seemed important not to let other furry friends close to my kibble. But fun fact... I love ice cubes! I know the doggie door and I know to potty outside. I needed a few reminders when I first got to my new foster home but I am doing great now! I am currently living with 3 nice, calm dogs and we do just fine together. I actually even asked to play after knowing them for a few days! Calmer pups and a family who understands structure and how to watch energy will work great for me, if I'm going to have doggie siblings. I would, of course, also be super happy as an only dog! I attach very quickly to my person, and I love them! I am so loyal and so ready to be your best friend! I do occasionally bark at the neighbor dogs but my foster mom is helping me to learn I don't have to bark at the neighbors or the scary noises I hear outside. As far as we know, I have never been around kids before so we are requesting kids 10 yrs and older for me. Because I didn't really go anywhere in my previous life, I am a bit nervous in the car even though if you open the door I will jump right in and I ride well. I pull when I'm on leash too. Foster mom is taking me to classes at Kudos to Canines (where I'm doing great!) and I'm getting better all the time, but I will need some positive car trips and some leash training. I am a smart girl, I know "sit" and "leave it" and I am so eager to please! I just need a mama who will call me her good girl and pet me and give me treats. I promise to love you so much!
