Meet Harlequinn
Harlequinn Needs a Foster or Adopter by Saturday, 12/6/25 to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin
Harlequinn is currently in Arkansas and must have a foster or adopter lined up by Saturday, December 6, 2025 to secure her spot on the transport truck to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. Without a home commitment, she won’t be able to make the trip.
Harlequinn’s story is one of second chances and quiet resilience. Pulled from a kill shelter at just 8 months old, this now around 2.5 -year-old mixed-breed sweetheart has spent most of her life in foster care—simply waiting for someone to notice her. After completing heartworm treatment about a year ago, she has patiently stayed in foster homes in Arkansas ever since.
Despite everything, Harlequinn is sweet as pie. She’s affectionate, gentle, and happiest when she has her “emotional support baby” (her favorite toy) close by. She’s dog friendly, cat friendly, and people friendly—an easy fit for many households.
House trained and crate trained, Harlequinn loves snuggles, soft beds, and being near her people. Her calm, loving nature makes her a comforting companion ready to finally settle into a home of her own.
Age: 2.5–3 years
Gender: Female (spayed)
Weight: 60 lbs
Breed: GSD/Lab Mix (best guess)
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Potty Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Leash Manners: Good
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes (has been around a 10 yo and was great)
Harlequinn has already shown so much courage and heart. She deserves a safe, loving home and a chance to finally rest easy. Could that home be yours?
