Harper

Harper is HES's current longest canine resident. She's been in HES care for a year and a half, with very little serious adoption interest This sweet senior girl is a 9-year-old Chow Chow/Red Heeler mix, and is described by her foster mom as a snuggly, affectionate, and active dog that forms deep bonds with the people she trusts.

Harper is very shy when she meets new people. In the few adoption appointments she's had, she hid behind her foster mom the whole time, and the folks were not interested in owning a timid dog. But give Harper a few days to decompress, and she becomes a totally different girl!

Harper's favorite things include stuffed toys, exploring the outdoors, and being near her favorite people. She's very food motivated, housetrained, and loves to go on walks and hikes. Though she's a senior, she doesn't act like one! She would LOVE an active family to take her on adventures and include her in their daily lives.

Harper deserves so much more than a life without a forever family, especially as she enters her golden years. She would do best in a home with teenage children and older, and she's ok around other dogs, but would also be content as the only dog in the household. She's not been around cats, to our knowledge.

If you think you could give Harper the home she's been searching for these past 18 months, we encourage you to apply for adoption on our website, and we'll contact you to set up a time to meet Harper and her foster at HES!
