My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is what Harlow’s Fur the Weekend Getaway foster family had to say about him.

Describe the ideal home for your foster animal:
He's a young, active dog who is driven by the fun of interacting with you.

Cute things your foster does that could be endearing to a future adopter:
Super Affectionate and loves to be near you. Follow you around but can be respectful of your space. He LOVES to play tug. His favorite part is actually playing with you, so he brings it right back to your hands.

What kinds of routines and activities does your foster like most?
At my house, the structure looked like a morning pee, breakfast, crate rest, then afternoon we walked, Dinner, then family time on his bed. He is not super food motivated, but will work for treats. He does best when you have a specific feeding window.

How social is your foster when meeting new people? Describe their behavior.
He looks timid at first, but he warms up so fast. His low wagging tail let you know he was nervous but quickly turns into a wagging butt with some butt scratches and a little patience.
What are her/his favorite games and toys?

Please list anything s/he may be afraid of (e.g. thunder, vacuum, etc.)?
Heis nervous around the vacuum and hair dryer, but did great during a thunderstorm and with the sound of hair clippers.

With dogs he was very loose and soft bodied. He was a little unsure about large dogs, but no loud reactive blow ups. He sat and waited as they all passed us in stores and on trails.

I think he'd be a great family dog. He is active and needs a little training as any young dog would. With some training on how to be a family dog rather than a shelter dog, he will make someone a lifetime best friend.

If you have any questions or if you would like to setup a day and time to meet him please email: fosters@sjras.orgFor more information about this animal or our adoption process please visit our website at SouthJerseyRegionalAnimalShelter.org

More about this shelter

CARING FOR SOUTH JERSEY PETS SINCE 1947
Founded in 1891 and incorporated in June 1947, we are a non-profit organization and a chapter of the NJ State SPCA. The staff and board of trustees are deeply involved and committed to all aspects of animal care and welfare. The money to finance the shelter comes from fees charged to municipalities to house their stray animals, fees charged to adopt, reclaim or release an animal to us, dues, donations, grants, fund-raisers and bequests from caring individuals. In our function as a humane society, the shelter serves as a refuge for thousands of stray, unwanted, abused, abandoned and sick animals
