About URGENT SHORT TERM FOSTER NEEDED

Harper is a sweet and friendly tan Shepherd mix, about 1 1/2 years old and weighing around 40 lbs. She was adopted just 8 months ago but is sadly losing her home because another dominant dog there hasn't approved of her. Harper gets along well with other small and large dogs and is good with children. She's also housetrained and crate trained, making her a well-behaved companion. Harper is agile and strong, able to jump high, and her former family notes she needs some leash training to stop pulling. She is looking for a temporary foster home for about a month to help her avoid returning to the shelter.

Ideal Home

A home where she can continue to be a beloved member of the family. Due to an issue with a dominant dog in her current home, a home without such dynamics would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Harper is spayed and vaccinated.

Training & Support

Harper is housetrained and crate trained. She needs some leash training to work on not pulling.
