Harley had a rough go of it for the first two years or so of his life. Banished to the outdoors by a family that also doesn't seem to have fed him regularly, he was then dumped at a shelter because the family was moving. At the shelter this alarmingly thin boy was put on the euthanasia list twice, and both times a caring shelter worker managed to buy him more time. She then arranged for him to come to SCGSR, because she felt that he was just too nice a dog to die.

She's right! Harley is a complete love bug who just wants to lay his head in someone's lap and give them kisses. He is also very smart. Dogs that have never lived in a house often aren't housebroken, it took Harley less than a day to figure out how to ask to be let outside. He sleeps quietly through the night and is learning obedience skills very quickly. He has a bit of separation anxiety that we're working on, but he calms down quickly in a crate so he can be safely left alone. We haven't tested him with small dogs or cats, but he is getting along very well with the other dogs his size at his foster home. If you're in the market for a companion that will be completely devoted to you, Harley would like a chance to convince you to pick him.
