My name is Harold!

Harold is a sweet, loving, 5-year-old terrier/schnauzer mix with big soulful eyes, a lean body, and the personality traits of a border terrier. He is well trained, knows many commands and loves his training time to learn new tricks. Harold always asks if he can come up on the sofa with you before joining you for an evening of TV! He is ideal for someone who enjoys interactive time with their pup and quiet time together.

Harold does have a few behaviors which he is working on and has made very good improvement against. He has been known to jump fences when he is bored, so he needs companionship and a secure yard with a 6’ fence. Although Harold is good with other dogs when introduced properly, he does exhibit leash aggression toward other dogs. Positive reinforcement from mindful handlers aware of his triggers and surroundings when out for walks has produced steady improvement which should be continued. He is also doing better with his symptoms of separation anxiety as he is now getting used to his crate when left alone for short periods.

Harold has had a couple of biting incidents in his past when startled or cornered. Since working with Harold to give him regular attention and managing his environment there have been no further incidents of biting.

Harold would be best matched with a dog-aware owner capable of providing the consistency, environment and positive reinforcement he needs. A home without young children - where older kids and adults can respect his need for space, but give him the affection he craves is important for Harold. His intelligence and food motivation will help him continue his steady improvements.

With dedication and the right environment, Harold is proving to be a sensitive and loyal companion.

Harold is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $400.
