Hi! My name is Harper, and I'm a pure Golden girl, nearly 3 years old. I'm fairly new to GRRAND, but I'm settling in nicely! Everyone loves me and I love to be cuddled and hugged!
My family gave me to GRRAND as I have a little issue with my bladder. I was sad, but the GRRAND people are so nice, and they are helping me with my little issue. Still, I'd rather be in a nice warm home with my own family!
Looking for a sweet Golden that won't swipe everything from your coffee table? Harper is your girl, as she has no tail to do so!
Harper is a 3 year old, medium sized at about 60lbs (or so), female Golden Retriever who had some trauma in her past as a puppy and is being surrendered as the people who had her can't care for her anymore. She has been surrendered because she is incontinent... She had trauma to her tail when she was a puppy which caused nerve damage and incontinence, and her tail had been amputated. GRRAND is working with her and vets to see what can be done to help her, so we will update as we learn more. Her former owners say: "We have done all that we could do for her. We do not have the time and attention that she really seeks and needs. We have developed some things in our lives and have some things facing us soon that we are needing to find her a new home urgently. She is incontinent as she suffered from a tail evulsion when she was young which caused her to have some nerve damage causing the incontinence issue. Vet said she does have a little muscle tone it is isn't completely gone, she does squat somewhat to pee at times but her bowels she doesn't as well. We did surgery to remove her tail since it was dead as recommended by our vet. She is very sweet and just wants to be loved on. She would do well I feel in a home where someone could give her more attention and possibly with another companion". She is good with other dogs and has lived with 3 other Goldens, including a littermate.
She has spent most of her time outdoors, and we know she will be so happy to finally get to know what living full time in a warm home, with a soft bed and non-stop TLC is all about!
We will update as we learn more, but if you would like to meet sweet Harper, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
