My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***Currently located in Vancouver, BC ***

Hi everyone!
My name is Harris. Get ready for a love-in cuz I got lots to give. Foster mum says I'm the world's biggest cuddler and she couldn't be more right about that. I love me a good belly rub and having my ears played with. Butt scritches are good too. I don't snore or sleep walk although, sometimes I yell out in my sleep.

People often stop to tell me how stunning and handsome I am. I think it's my shiny coat, it shimmers in the sunshine.

I'm a big fan of sniffy walks, I can't get enough of all the wonderful scents and smells. I'm still figuring out the social etiquette when saying hi to other dogs. (I so badly want to run up and say hi to everyone.) But apparently some dogs need more time/space so my 'approach' needs work. Good thing I'm a quick study. I'll do just about anything for treatos. I love going on walks and adventures with my new dog friends!

Kid-free zone is more my thing unless your kids are grown (tweens/teens ). I also might like the idea of being the only dog in the home. Don't get me wrong—I love meeting up with dogs for walkies, play dates and car rides, but I'm not into sharing my food bowl and I think I want you mostly to myself.

I'm an honour student when it comes to knowing where I do my business. When foster mum leaves for work, I find quiet ways to entertain myself. I don't care for dog crates and prefer my freedom to roam about. I hang out on the patio or lounge on the bed. I rarely bark and when I do, it's usually one big W O O F and then I'm done. I don't chew things either…that stuff is for puppeez.

My foster momma says I have a wonderful recall (of course I come back for treatos, why wouldn't I?) and I know all the basic commands like Sit, Down, Stay and Paw. I also have very good manners and unless I see a squirrel, I am a good leash walker.

I am trying to be the best dog possible and I cannot wait to find my furever home!

More about this rescue

Surfers for Strays was started in January of 2017 by Isabel Velasco and Natalie Ritenour when they rescued 7 puppies and their mother, who had been abandoned at a local hot springs in Lagunillas, Guerrero, Mexico. The puppies were being eaten alive by parasites and their mother was severely malnourished.

Working together the women devised a plan to house and care for the animals and raise funds and more importantly, raise awareness to sterilize pets. They gained enough support in the local community to start helping “callajeros”, street animals in the villages of Troncones, Los Llanos, La Saladita and surrounding regions.

With the help of local veterinarians and citizens, they organized spay and neuter clinics and a program to educate children on how to treat and care for animals. Surfers and other travelers began volunteering and growing the network to foster and adopt animals in the US and Canada. With that momentum and the love and support of key volunteers, Surfers for Strays Inc. was founded in August of 2019 to cover more ground and help more animals escape the cycle of neglect, abuse and abandonment. From 2020-2021, Surfers for Strays adopted out more than 250 dogs and cats to fur-ever homes in North America and paid for more than 3,150 dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered in local communities in Mexico.

Your donations support our programs to sterilize, rehabilitate, find fosters and adopters for animals in need. Your donations also support education programs for the humane treatment of animals in underserved communities. Together we are saving animals and sharing the Mucho Aloha spirit.
