Come meet Harper and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/23) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Harper Best Guess for Breed: Rottweiler mix Best Guess for Age: 7 years as of April 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 55 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Harper is Looking For: Harper is ready to start her next chapter. With her soulful eyes and gentle presence, she has a quiet charm that draws you in and makes you want to learn more about her. Harper is at that wonderful stage in life where she’s past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of love and companionship to give. Whether it’s joining you for a walk, lounging nearby, or simply being your steady sidekick, Harper is ready to find a place to call her own. What My Foster Says About Me: She's a small Rottweiler with all the confidence of a big one, and her favorite things in the world are squeaky toys, belly rubs, and lying on her side on the couch next to her people. She is endlessly, cheerfully social. She's great with new people and will ask just about anyone for a belly rub — she once spent an afternoon at a pickleball court, lying quietly on the sideline watching the game and then making the rounds of every player for pets. She's met kids from toddlers to twelve-year-olds and is happy to be petted and fussed over by them. She gets along well with other dogs, shares her food, water, and bed, and will even groom her friends. She loves the dog park, where she's eager to greet everyone before making her rounds to sniff and explore. She's had gentle, positive encounters with a neighborhood cat, too. Harper is easy in all the everyday ways. She has lovely leash manners and rarely pulls, though she'll perk up for another dog, a deer, or a rabbit. She barks very little — not at the front door, not at the garage, mostly just to get your attention. She naps wherever her human is, whether that's the couch, the floor, or under the desk. She's up around 6am but will wait patiently for you to be ready for the day, and she puts herself to bed on her own around 10pm. She goes into her crate willingly and has stayed in it overnight and through workdays without complaint. She gets genuinely excited about car rides and settles right in. She tolerates the shower well and loves the towel-dry afterward. And when she wants a little quiet time, she'll take herself off to a corner for a nap — she's good at telling you what she needs. At the table, she's a fan of cheddar cheese, hot dogs, boiled chicken, steak, and small Milk-Bones. She's missing a few teeth, so she eats a smaller kibble size, and she takes a daily medication for some stiffness in her back legs that keeps her comfortable and moving well. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
