My story

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

.

What my friends at ACC say about me:


My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!


I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.


I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.



A volunteer writes: Do you think if I took two bites out of Harper's love handles anyone would notice? Just a couple nibbles? She's so chonky and thicc, I'm obsessed with this pitato!! I admire her curves and wiggles as we walk along, her little no show socks on all four feet and skunk stripe on her face are just the icing on the cake. Truth be told, Harper doesn't care how much I praise her physique, the ONLY thing on her mind is when I'm going to give her a new toy. Her obsession with stuffies rivals my infatuation with her and we are neck in neck in a "who loves what more" competition. I've learned not to give her a new toy until we return to the shelter because if I do it before then, she will pull to return to her kennel as quickly as possible to play with and admire it.

Harper first came to us via police 3 years ago when they found her wandering the streets. She was returned to her guardian not too long after that. Most recently, she was found again as a stray by a good samaritan in August. She has been quite the toy connoisseur with staff too, parading and tossing her toys around the room. During her greet with a female dog, she had a soft frame and wagging tail. She approached the other dog gently and creates distance when she becomes uncomfortable. Due to some fearful and anxious behaviors, Harper will do best in an experienced home.
