Description:

Harley is a quiet, thoughtful soul who’s still trying to make sense of her new reality. She was surrendered to our shelter because her previous owner couldn't afford her medical care. She’s adjusting to shelter life the best she can, but it’s clear she’s feeling overwhelmed.This beautiful girl is dealing with some non-contagious skin issues, but underneath it all, she’s a sweet and sensitive dog just looking for a calm place to land. She’s shy and timid, especially around loud noises or sudden movements, and she tends to keep her distance when she’s unsure. Once leashed, she walks beautifully - no pulling, no fuss. Harley enjoy peaceful walks and some quiet time to sniff and explore on her own. She'll take treats from your hand with a gentle touch and, when she’s feeling safe, will come a little closer to say hello. Her previous owner said she’s housebroken, good with other dogs and cats, and protective of her people. While she can be great around kids per her previous owner, she’ll do best in a home that understands her boundaries and gives her space when she needs it. Same with other dogs - she's done great around dogs that are calmer and respect her space. Harley isn’t the kind of dog who will immediately jump into your lap - but she is the kind who just might slowly inch her way into your heart. She needs patience, understanding, and a safe environment where she can truly decompress and blossom.
