Meet Harper! Harper came from a backyard breeder situation. Law enforcement freed her from a life of cranking out puppies to be sold. While being starved and severely mistreated, she had puppies, and developed heartworms. Sometime during this reign of terror, her leg was broken. She did not go to the Vet for treatment - it healed on its own, and she adapted to the break. All of this happened, and she is only two years old!
Harper is thriving in her foster home. She is house and kennel trained. She knows basic obedience. She is OK with cats, children and dogs. Harper is affectionate, smart, alert and cautious. She is a natural watchdog. She has bonded with her foster Mom, and will be looking for that same type of bond in her forever home.
Bottom line, Harper is a wonderful girl that had a terrible start in life. Her abuser was male, and she is extremely afraid of men. If Harper could talk, she would say that she would do best in a home with no adult males. A woman with patience and love to give would be perfect. Harper is more than just a pretty dog with cropped ears, she is a gentle soul that experienced the worst of humans. It impacted her confidence and trust. We are looking for a woman that would like to help Harper continue to find her inner Doberman. Harper is a diamond in the rough. She will be a perfect dog for the right person. She is up to date on everything, and heartworm free.
