UPDATE: “Harley” has been adopted!
Meet “Harley” 🤎🐶🏡
A lot of you will already be familiar with this gorgeous girl after we rescued her from a Canberra pound, and she arrived safely into our care last week. After spending the entire period of 2026 sitting in the pound waiting for someone to give her a chance, we think it’s finally “Harley’s” turn to find the happy ending she’s waited far too long for.
Yesterday was a big day for our sweet girl! “Harley” underwent surgery to amputate her happy tail (yes… she’s literally so excited to see people that she wagged her tail until she injured it! 🥹). A huge thank you to Dr Brook, Dr Kristie and Nurse Angelina, who took wonderful care of her. While she was under anaesthetic, “Harley” also had a few teeth extracted, and we’re so pleased to say she has absolutely sailed through her recovery like the superstar she is.
Now… let’s talk about “Harley” herself.
If you’re looking for a dog who loves people with her whole heart, you’ve just found her. “Harley” absolutely thrives on human company and would happily nominate herself as your full time shadow. Whether you’re heading outside, relaxing on the couch or simply walking from one room to another… “Harley” would very much like to be involved.
At 8 years young and weighing 28.3kg, “Harley” clearly didn’t get the memo that she’s technically a senior! She still has plenty of bounce in her step, loves being active and would thrive with someone who enjoys daily walks, backyard play sessions and spending quality time together. She’s full of life and has so much love left to give.
“Harley” already knows sit and drop, and the quickest way to her heart is… treaties. She is incredibly treat motivated, which makes continuing her training a breeze. One thing we do want to be upfront about is that “Harley” is very strong on the lead, so she’ll need someone confident who is happy to continue working with her manners during walks.
“Harley” will also need an owner who understands that settling into a home won’t happen overnight. After spending such a long time living in the pound, she’s forgotten what it’s like to have a family of her own. She’ll need patience, reassurance and time to decompress as she learns that she’s finally safe. The reward, however, will be a loyal best friend who adores her people.
We also want to be completely transparent about “Harley’s” ongoing medical needs. She has suffered from chronic ear infections and is currently receiving PMP Ear Suspension twice daily. Along with her ears, her skin is something that may require lifelong management. We’ve worked hard to get “Harley” up to date with everything on our end, but her future family must be financially prepared and committed to continuing her veterinary care for the rest of her life. She deserves someone who will invest in her health just as much as she’ll invest her heart in them.
“Harley” has not been tested with other animals, so we’d love to find her a home where she can be the only pet. Quite frankly… she’s waited long enough for someone to make her the centre of their universe, and we think she’s earned that privilege. She absolutely craves attention and is looking for that special someone to build an unbreakable bond with.
“Harley” has spent far too long waiting for life to begin. Now all she needs is someone willing to take a chance on a beautiful girl who still greets every day with a wagging tail (hopefully a much healthier one now! 😉).
Please help us give “Harley” the second chance she’s been desperately waiting for. If you can’t adopt, sharing her post far and wide could be the reason her forever family finds her.
💌 If you’d like to arrange a time to meet “Harley”, please send an email to [email protected], addressed to Shannon, telling us a little about yourself, your household and what you can offer “Harley”.
Let’s find this beautiful girl the loving home she’s waited so patiently for!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Adoption Cost:
“Harley’s” adoption fee is $300. She is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea treated.
