Description:
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step.Oh hi there.. I'm Harriet, but my foster parents call me Harriet the Spy. I'm not sure exactly who Harriet the Spy is or what she has to do with me, but what I do know is that a spy is a person who is looking for something. That makes sense because I am looking for my forever home! I've actually been looking for a new home for a while. A few months ago, I was living on the streets as a stray. I'm a pretty shy girl, so living by myself was terrifying! At night I would dream of having parents of my very own to snuggle up with in a nice, warm, cozy bed. Just dreaming about that made me feel safe and loved, even though it was only for a few precious hours per day. Then, I was caught and brought to a shelter. The nice people there took good care of me, but it isn't a place that a dog could stay long-term. Luckily, I was rescued and sent to a foster home. I LOVE it here and I adore my foster mom especially, but I know this is only a temporary place to stay. So, now I am looking for my very own family! I am a sweet, shy girl who would do best in a calm home. The dogtor thinks I am about 3 years old and weigh 53 pounds. I love people, snuggling, and getting head scratches and pets constantly. In fact, if my foster parents stop petting me before I am finished receiving them, I will nudge their hands with my nose to let them know they need to continue petting me. What can I say -I was a stray who was starved of attention - now that I know how amazing scratches and pets feel, I want to soak up as much attention as I can! Some other things you should know about me: I like playing with other dogs, especially my foster brothers. I am also housebroken, but sometimes I get scared and "submissive pee" a little bit. My foster parents said we need to work on my confidence and not being a "scardy-cat." Sometimes being around other dogs helps me be a little braver, but my foster parents still want me to keep working on it. I really am such a sweet soul that just needs a chance to shine! Please submit an application on our website if you are interested in adopting me! All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only.
