My story

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

Current Location: Strasburg, VA
Estimated date of birth: 7/3/25

Harvest is a gentle soul who wants connection but does not yet trust the process. She will come to you for chin and face scratches, which feels like a big win for her, and she will tolerate calm petting along her sides and back once she feels settled. She moves confidently between the kennel and the fenced yard and does her pottying outside like a champ. She also enjoys playing with her littermates and clearly draws comfort from their presence.

That said, Harvest is still fearful of close human approach. If you walk directly toward her, she will circle away inside the pen. Being picked up scares her and she may squeal and potentially snap defensively if forced. For safety, gloves are required for any necessary handling such as crating for vet visits. She is not leash trained yet and will need time before that step is introduced.

Harvest requires a fully fenced yard and a calm, patient home. A confident resident dog would help her tremendously. She is a flight risk and needs adopters who understand that progress comes through consistency and calm presence, not force. Harvest is not ready for chaos, but she is ready for the right person.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
