Harper has been in my foster care for just 5 days, so here is what is known about this sweet girl.

She is approximately 2 years old, spayed, and weighs around 46.5l bs. She is a petite Golden, my little flower..... She needs to put on a few pounds, so we have been working on that. She gets along beautifully with other dogs, is definitely more on the passive side, doesn't look for confrontations.....she just wants to play! I have little doubt she will do well with children, but we shall see.

She walks well on a leash, actually jogs with me at leash length, and we are working on manners. Food was not a consistent thing for this sweet girl, so she is curious about what is on my counters, but when told to get down, she is beginning to listen; smart girl.

Depending on her vet visit this Friday, we will be attending Goldzilla!! We are crossing our fingers, as she is a very social girl.

Please stop back for more updates on Harper. She is just beginning to show her true Golden self.

I am a very lucky girl to have found such a loving mom and dad and the coolest little sister ever! We play all day! Mommy says play is my middle name. My sister Holley and I wrestle, play tug-of war, and chase each other outside every day! 

I get lots of good treats and each month a box called Bark Box comes with new toys and treats for my sister and me. 

I also have new cousins since my mommy's family has goldens also! We spend a lot of time with them. 

Every day is a good day with my new family and they even let me sleep in the bed. If I sprawl out too much then daddy just moves to the couch. Mommy loves to cuddle with me!

It's been almost two weeks since Harper arrived from Turkey. She has really shown her personality since practically day one.

As fosters, we are obligated to report the good with the bad. I really have not seen Harper portray any bad traits except trying to see what is on my counters, and her interest in critters, which is understandable. She is housebroken, but may have an accident or two with her new family... to be expected as it will be new to her.

She is great with other dogs and loves to play. She fit in beautifully at Goldzilla with other dogs and people alike. I took her to visit my friend with 5 cats, both indoor and outdoor. I would say she is curious, but not aggressive. When the house cat growled and hissed, it startled her and she completely backed off. It's the same on walks with bunnies and squirrels (they don't growl and hiss...), but she pulls, and wants to "go see," so she will need a little consistency on commands. She even met several dogs and really showed no interest.

She is pretty good on walks, though she can use a little practice, of course, but she is almost there. She lays in my office while I work and barely makes a sound. She is such a good girl!

Here are a few updated pictures to enjoy! Please feel free to express your interest in Harper if you think she would be a good fit for your family. She's a keeper!!
