Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Harbor is a gorgeous 1 1/2 year old merle female (DOB 7/10/12) with natural ears. She came to rescue because she was not getting along with the female Dane in her home. Harbor came her foster home as a terrified little girl, but has blossomed rather quickly. She comes with an instruction booklet, which explains her personality and her likes, along with her several nick names...Harby, Harby Barbie, Barbie, and Harb. Everyday after breakfast, Harbor looks forward to her bone stuffed with peanut butter, apparently this is something she has had since day one as a puppy and her foster family has continued treating her. She will bond with you within a day or two and will be very loyal. Harbor needs slow introduction with men, as she will bark insecurely. Once she has met you, and sees you again, you are her bestest friend. Harbor is great with other animals, especially male dogs, horses, goats, and sheep. She nuzzles my cat and may chase if he runs away, but not to hurt. She has a young disposition, and will need patience as she is just learning to sit and lay down. Harbor gets the zoomies, and acts like a goofy, happy and silly girl all the time. She is a super cuddler, and gives gentle sweet kisses. She loves her toys and will prance around like a proud little girl. Harbor loves to jump, hug and kiss when she first sees you. This is being worked on as she can be a strong girl. Harbor loves to go on walks, comes with a harness and walks very obediently on it, no pulling. She also loves to go on car rides, but once in the car Harbor looks miserable and tends to freeze up. However, she dives into the car when she knows she's heading somewhere fun! Harbor plays rough and loves a dog with high energy. She will play rough and tumble and wrestle with her playmate. Harbor will do well in an active home where someone can be there for her periodically throughout the day, or as long as she isn't alone for a long period of time. This special girl can be a lover and adores her humans, and playmates to pieces. She crawls into your arms and just melts. Harbor will make a wonderful addition to any home that would take her for walks and be ready to have her curl up with you once she has burned her puppy like energy.
