Hi guys! My name is Harrison Bergeron. I am a 3-year-old, neutered male dog in need of a home. I weigh about 58 lbs. I am fun and friendly. I love taking walks and playing in the yard. I'm a fairly quiet dog. I don't have much to say unless it's pretty important. I am friendly with people and other dogs. I like to play too. I'm a smart boy who knows some basic obedience commands, like sit. I work for treats and I aim to please. If a big 'ole friendly, loving dog is the right pet for you, please apply today. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.
I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. You can visit me there any time the shelter is open. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue.
TO ADOPT: if you have a fenced yard, call Shannon with MPEP at 586-530-7511.
Or, fenced yard or not, apply online:

VISIT: Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center, 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills any time the shelter is open, Monday - Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. or Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
