My story

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

Meet Harley: Your Next Best Friend! 

Looking for a devoted companion? Meet Harley, a 5-year-old sweetheart who's ready to be the center of your world. Due to her current owner's long work hours and health challenges, Harley needs a new forever home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves.

Currently, Harley spends at least 12 hours a day confined to her crate. While a kind volunteer occasionally walks her, these brief moments cannot compensate for the profound lack of engagement and attention she desperately needs and deserves. This is not a life – it's mere existence.

Though her owner loves her, she knows that Harley deserves so much more.

This beautiful 65-pound girl is the definition of a "velcro dog" – she'll follow you around with endless affection and charm. One of her adorable signature moves? Standing on her back legs to give big bear hugs! Harley's playful energy comes out in delightful "zoomies," but she's equally content snuggling up on her favorite blanket during quiet evening TV time.

While Harley is good with other dogs, her enthusiasm can be overwhelming – she plays very rough and hasn't learned when to pump the brakes. For this reason, we're seeking a single-pet household where she can be your one and only companion.

Perfect Home:

  • An owner committed to giving her the attention she deserves
  • Space for her to run and play (fenced yard preferred, but a long lead works!)
  • Semi -active lifestyle to get out her energy
  • Home with older children (she's enthusiastic and doesn't always realize her size!)
  • Single-pet household (so her exuberant play style won't be an issue)

Harley is:

  • Spayed and fully vetted with clean bill of health
  • Housebroken and crate trained
  • Comfortable with extended crating when necessary

Harley's ideal family will understand that while she's currently used to long crating periods, she thrives with more interaction and exercise. She's incredibly smart and affectionate, just waiting for someone to show her the active, engaging lifestyle she dreams of.

Harley isn't just looking for a home – she's looking for a partner, a best friend who will show her what a truly loved dog's life can be. She has so much love to give and is ready to be your shadow, your confidante, your constant companion.

Are you ready for Harley's big love? 

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fill your days with joy and your heart with love, Harley could be your perfect match. She's ready to be someone's cherished family member and return that devotion tenfold.

More about this rescue

We are a small rescue that started in January 2013 after years of working for different rescues and decided to join forces to start our own rescue/foster program. With over 20 years of combined experience with animals (rescue, training, advocacy), we learned that many dogs are not properly matched up with the right families. We realize that no one is at fault here since the overpopulation of homeless pets is staggering and animal advocates what to spare these precious dogs lives by finding homes as opposed to being euthanized. We decided that we would do our small part and keep our rescue small so we can focus on getting to know the personality of each dog in our foster program, doing proper evaluations and temperament testing, putting each dog through any type of training services they may need, and completing a thorough screening for all applicants which includes a mandatory home visit all BEFORE the dog gets matched up with a compatible family. Our mission statements says: Rescue Haven Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness of the issues surrounding animal rescue.
