Story
Currently in a Vancouver foster home
Hello… my name is Hari.
I’m a 5-year-old Maltese mix girl, about 6kg, and for the first time in my life… I’m learning what it means to live for myself.
For many years, my whole world was a tiny metal cage.
No sunlight.
No soft voice calling my name with love.
Only the sound of humans demanding one thing from me over and over—to be a mother, again and again, even though I never got to hold or keep any of my babies.
Whenever my puppies were taken from me, I tried to chew through the bars to reach them.
My teeth became worn down from trying so hard…
trying to find them, trying not to give up.
I cried quietly and waited, hoping someone would finally come for me.
One day, someone did.
I was rescued—saved from that place—and for the very first time, I was given a chance to live a life that belongs to me.
A life where I never have to breed again.
A life where nothing precious is taken away from me anymore.
I’m a very calm, very gentle girl.
I hardly ever bark.
And when I see people, fear isn’t the first thing I feel—joy is.
I walk toward you slowly, shyly, but with a little wagging tail… hoping you’ll notice me.
Hoping you’ll love me.
But everything outside that cage is new to me.
Home life, walks, daily routines, learning where to go potty…
I’m five years old, but in many ways, I’m just beginning.
I will need someone patient, someone kind, who can teach me what every dog should’ve known from the start—that I’m safe, that I’m wanted, and that love doesn’t disappear.
I love people more than anything.
I feel most at peace when I’m beside a human.
If the house is empty for too long, I might become anxious…
not because I’m difficult, but because I spent so many years wondering if anyone would ever stay.
I’m learning that family means “forever,” and I hope you can show me what that feels like.
I don’t want to be a tool anymore.
I want to be a family member.
I want to spend the rest of my life giving and receiving love—real love, the kind that stays.
I’m searching for someone who will become my very first true family.
Someone who will fill the years I have left with warmth, safety, and memories I’ve never been allowed to have.
If you choose me…
I promise I will give you every bit of my heart.
With hope,
Hari 🤍🐾
