My story

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

Meet Harley!

An eight-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo currently in Woodstock Valley, CT, whose gentle spirit and fluffy black coat make her a quiet little star with so much love to give. Weighing 22 pounds, this small and soulful girl carries herself with a tender confidence, blending a playful spark with a calm, devoted nature that makes her a constant companion.

Harley adores squeaky balls, cheerful games of fetch, and peaceful walks where she can take in the world at her own pace. She knows sit, stay, come, and wait, and she is wonderfully food motivated, which makes learning through positive reinforcement both fun and rewarding. Although she has not attended formal training classes, she is eager to connect and thrives when her caregiver offers guidance, patience, and encouragement.

At home, Harley shines brightest when she has plenty of together time. She can feel anxious when left alone for long stretches, and sudden noises, unfamiliar visitors, or wildlife in the yard may make her uneasy. With reassurance and a predictable routine filled with play, companionship, and strolls through the neighborhood, she settles beautifully. She is house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. Harley follows a grain free diet to help manage chronic ear infections and takes Zyrtec to stay comfortable during spring allergy season.

Though shy around other dogs and cats, she is not aggressive and has done wonderfully in doggie daycare settings, where she appears relaxed and social. On leash, she can be reactive, so she would benefit from continued positive reinforcement and thoughtful behavior support.

More than anything, Harley needs a patient, nurturing family who can be present and include her in daily life. She would love to be adopted with her beloved companion Marvel if the right family has room in their hearts for two.

Could Harley be the sweet shadow by your side? To learn more, please contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!
