| In just a few weeks, Harpo has already gone through quite a transformation. This is what he looked like when he first came to us... |
|
We promised Harpo we should show him what the good life is all about and he has been very gratefull. Not only is Harpo doing much better physically, but his smile is brighter every day too.
He now realizes that he will never suffer at the hands of cruel individuals again and he couldn't be anymore relieved. This is what rescue is all about! |
Foster Situation: Harpo is fostered in a home with three other dogs. He does well with them when introduced properly and really enjoys spending time with his foster 'sisters'! He doesn't live with children or cats but has been introduced to both and does well with them. He has access to a large fenced yard and loves to run and play!
As much as he has been messed with, poked, or pinched when he he was first rescued, no matter how scared or nervous he was, he has never shown any sign of human aggression. This dog has a great disposition.
Harpo does great in the car! Just hangs out in the back seat and watches other cars go by. He does pretty well on the leash too. He is beginning to learn that if he pulls we stop.
He cuddles up in his crate on a big soft blankie and never makes a mess or a sound (other than a few snores)! I think he is just happy to have a soft and warm place to rest.
So Handsome | Golden Eyes | Beautiful Face
Training: Not only is Harpo housebroken, but he has also completed a beginner obedience course! He knows commands such as sit, come, down, stay, wait, leave it, watch, heel, and ok! He is a very smart dog and has really seemed to enjoy learning all those things! He is also part of the “No free lunch” program!
Happy Harpo | Cute Pink Tongue | Irresistible Face
Personality: Harpo is a VERY sweet boy. He can tend to be a little timid in new situations but it doesn't take him long to get comfortable and start showing his true colors! He loves when new people come to the house and always greets them with a wagging tail and a big smile! He is calm but LOVES to play. He is content in the house if you are just willing to let him sit at your feet. He now gets to sleep next to our bed at night and does great. He sleeps through the night and never makes a sound!
Harpo LOVES pig ears, nylabones, and anything rawhide! He's a mellow dog and doesnt have a dominant personality. In fact, he's pretty lazy. He takes lots of naps and gets more comfortable everyday. He is interested in the squirrels outside and likes to watch but hasn't tried to run after anything so far. One of his new favorite things to do is to put his two front paws on the window and watch the outside world go by!
He enjoys being outdoors sniffing around and checking out what's going on. He likes to stretch out and take naps by my feet.
Standing | Resting | Good Looking
Best Attribute: That's so hard to answer! There is so much to love about him! The way he rests his head in your hand while you scratch behind his ears or between his eyes is adorable. He has very sweet eyes.... He looks up at me and just seems to say "Love on me, if only for a little while! I promise to make it worth your time!"
He is very handsome and sweet. To me it seems like he is almost a "clean slate". He just needs to be shown what it takes to be a good dog! He really had no idea what it was to be spoiled, or have a warm place to sleep, or a good meal two to three times a day, but he's learning! Its almost like having a puppy! You get to teach him all about everything he needs to know to be a great dog. Minus the messes of a pup! :)
Harpo has got it all! He is a very well rounded boy and never ceases to amaze me because he has come so far! He would make someone a great companion!
