Story
Harley Quinn is a lively, energetic 2.5-year-old girl who’s looking for an active and structured home that can keep up with her zest for life! She knows “sit,” loves treats, and enjoys playing with toys, making her a fun and engaging companion for the right family.She’s easy to leash, though she does pull, and she can get mouthy and jumpy when excited—so she would do best in a home with no children under 12 and people who are ready to provide consistent training and guidance.Harley Quinn thrives on exercise and activity. She’s happiest when she has plenty of outlets to burn off her energy, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or structured activities. With the right home, she’ll be a loyal, loving, and playful companion.If you’re ready for a high-energy buddy who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with fun, Harley Quinn could be the perfect match!

Are you ready for this very active love bug and some big fat kisses? Trevor is your guy. People and dog friendly, he matches his play style too dog, willing to play easier and be chased, or play rough and tumble.*Takes treats gently - very treat motivated*responds to corrections*Great recall response*High energy -ready for adventures *Easy to leash, good in car**Toys? Yes please. A whole basket of them.*Housebroken- yes, his signals are very subtle- he goes quietly to door. *Crate trained*No resource guarding*Loves playing with other dogs but we recommend a meet and greet to ensure a good fit to his playstyle*Learning to control his happy boy instinct to jump on you *Wants to put my hand in his mouth, gently almost like he wants to lick your hand in his mouth. Cutest: stuck his big head right in the dryer and stole away with the wool dryer balls!??
