Harper has been adopted by a wonderful Family! She now has 5 humans and 1 big dog sister that she gets to call her very own :) She looks forward to lots of walks, belly rubs and having her people around her all the time.

Meet Harper! Harper is an adorable 1-year-old Female mixed breed pup. She is our little peanut and quite possibly the sweetest, cuddliest and most laid back little girl you will ever meet. She is an honorary Golden Retriever because she has all of the same wonderful traits as the other Goldens that we know and love!
She LIVES for napping in your lap or snuggling up near you or a four-legged friend. This was our first experience with a smaller-breed dog and we were surprised to find that Harper is VERY low-maintenance. All that she really wants is a nice warm place to call home and to be near her people. She cuddles for hours at a time :) She isn't a bit destructive or aggressive. She is house trained and hasn't had a single accident in the week that she's been with us. She loves to share her toys and food with a good friend and doesn't resource guard anything. We have been crate training her and she sleeps nicely and quietly through the night in her crate... although I am sure she'd love it if she could sleep in a nice warm bed with her people!

Here are our FAVORITE things about Miss Harper!
-Harper has such a fun personality. She is mellow, very smart, friendly, affectionate and happy-go-lucky.
-She LOVES meeting new people and kids. She can be a little bit shy at first, but given the opportunity to climb up into your lap and settle in for a while, she will be your best friend forever.
-Harper gets along great with dogs of all shapes and sizes! She loves playing with our other Foster and Resident and can hold her own in wrestling matches and games of hide and seek around our kitchen island.
-She is healthy and up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and spayed.
-When she's not sleeping in your lap, on your feet or in front of the Fireplace, she is playful and quite skilled at retrieving her favorite stuffed toys or playing soccer with a tennis ball.
-She's very petite and laid-back so she is the perfect addition to your Family if you are short on space, live in an apartment or have size restrictions where you live.
-Her calming and affectionate presence would make her an excellent Therapy Dog if you like to Volunteer!
Harper is very excited to meet you! If you'd like to learn more about Harper, please contact your Placement Adviser!

Hi everyone! Harper here!
These last few weeks have been so much fun and I've really adjusted well to my foster home. My bubbly and goofy personality is coming out more and more every day and I just love life! Especially the little things like napping by the fire or a nice long belly rub. I even like to go for car rides now! They used to really scare me, but as long as I can sit on Foster Mom's lap, I really enjoy it. I even get to stick my nose out the window if it isn't too cold.
I've learned some new tricks like how to "sit". I'd still love to take a puppy class with my forever family some day, but until then, I've been studying!
Some of my favorite things are:
- Going for walks with Etta. I LOVE hopping around in the snow and checking out all that there is to see. I think you'd be impressed with how well I can keep up with the family. I'm basically just a Golden Retriever in a little dog's body.
- Dance parties in the kitchen with Foster Mom and Dad and Etta. This might be my FAVORITE thing ever. I pick up my paws and hop around in circles when I see them dancing. Sometimes I jump up and give 2 high-fives and then spin in a circle. I never realized before, but I have some pretty cool dance moves. I even do something that resembles the Moon Walk. I think I'm going to name it "The Harper".
- Yoga! Sometimes Foster Mom does Yoga in the living room and let me tell you, I could be an instructor I'm so good at my Down-Dogs! Whenever I see that yoga mat come out, first I go and make sure it's nice and warm for Mom, then I make sure to show her proper form by doing the perfect Chaturanga. She even lets me share the mat with her, though she's always laughing at me for some reason.
- Trying new foods! I've learned that I LOVE healthy treats. My favorites are baby carrots, bell peppers, pumpkin and the occasional taste of a banana. I've finally reached my ideal body weight after coming into RAGOM very malnourished, but I still enjoy my treats!
I would love to meet you so please let me know if you think I could be a good fit for your family!

Hello everyone!
Harper, here! Well, I keep hearing Foster Mom and Dad talking every day about how they should write my update but they can't seem to get their act together, so I am taking things into my own paws and handling this one! They are boring anyways.
Life has been great these past few weeks and I am so lucky to be a RAGOM dog! I've learned so many things since my last update! I know my name now and come running whenever Foster Mom calls me. I love stuffed toys, playing fetch and napping in front of the Fireplace.

I've been a really good girl and because I am not destructive and have never had an accident, I now get free roam of the house and I even get to sleep in bed with Foster Mom and Dad and Foster Sister, Etta! I really love snuggling up with Etta. She calls me the little spoon.

I really don't like to be crated, so I've made sure to show Foster Mom that she can trust me when she leaves and I really hope I can find a home where I don't have to be crated. I can get a little scared in there all by myself and Foster Mom says I have some mild anxiety about being confined. I think that's from my past because I came from a Hoarding situation with lots of other animals. I really just want to be near you!
Foster Sister Etta and I have become best friends and I really hope that my Forever Home will have another dog or little kids to love me. I really love kids!
Speaking of, the Holidays were SO MUCH FUN! I got to go along to lots of Christmas parties and meet lots of different people, kids, a really, really big dog called a Munsterlander and even some cats. I love everybody that I meet and greet them with kisses and tail wags.
Foster Mom asked me to pass along a few things too: -I still get pretty scared about car rides and new places, so Foster Mom recommends that I go to a home with another dog so that I don't get lonely. This isn't required but I would do really well with another confident dog showing me the ropes! -She hopes that I find a home that will work with me on my training and maybe even take me to an obedience class! I'm a fast learner, but because of my past, everything is still pretty new to me. -I shouldn't be crated so hopefully my Forever home will trust me as much as Foster Mom does and let me have free roam.
I really want to meet you! I don't know why my webpage has said that I am closed to apps because I am still eagerly waiting for somebody to meet me! If you think I might be a good fit for your Family, please contact your placement adviser!
