About Harper

Harper is a small to mid sized crossbreed aged two to three years old. Can live with cats. Another confident, playful dog to show her the ropes would help Harper settle in. High school aged children+. Harper is a hidden gem of a little dog. She is initially shy of strangers and unknown dogs but with a bit of patience turns into an affectionate and cheeky girl. Harper had a rough start in life that is unfortunately very common in her native country of Romania. She was taken into the Botosani public shelter at a young age and missed out on a lot of early socialisation and what should have been carefree puppy days. Because of this Harper is shy of strangers and will be hand-shy initially. She is also a little nervous of unknown dogs and might bark or retreat. Harper will need patience and guidance around these situations to help her grow. With her foster family Harper is a very affectionate, snuggly, and cheeky pup who loves playing or snoozing with the other dogs. She is a bright and food motivated girl. Another confident, playful dog to show her the ropes would help Harper settle in. With a few weeks of patience Harper will go from shy to rushing to greet you when you come home, demanding belly rubs, and being her true goofy, sassy self. Harper is quiet in the home and settles down well. She enjoys going for walks and behaves well on the lead overall, but can be nervous of new people or dogs. Harper has passed her cat testing, having shown no particular interest in them. She can live with high school aged children that understand she needs a bit of time to get to know them.
