THRIVE Lowcountry Women’s Conference

MEET HARLEY

(SAVANNAH, GA) With a comfortable home, shelter from the elements, regular food and exercise, socialization and exposure to all kinds of situations – this little eight year old fella is enjoying the puppyhood he missed out on and learning what security from a good human feels like. Each day is like Christmas for Harley at the moment. All chores or actions, no matter how mundane, are an absolute treat for him. He “helps” make beds, put things in fridges, move furniture, do laundry, take out the trash, etc. – and loves to carry things. He is very good with children, other dogs and yet frightened of cats – but he will face them head on, only to be intimidated by them when close. Harley is brave, and he is daring, but he’s subservient. He is inquisitive, is always in need of a cuddle – and he is loyal. It’s hard to believe that this dog – who spent seven of his last eight years alone in an outdoor enclosure – can still have so much faith in humans for his survival, and that he has learned to trust even after having been so horribly let down. To adopt Harley, or another pet, visit http://coastalpetrescue.org/adopt/view/2019-d-110-harley-pranschke/
