harlow

Meet Harlow, an approx. 6-7yo, 20lb. possible Cairn Terrier mix. Harlow was surrendered to the shelter when her people could no longer afford to pay for her care. She arrived to the shelter as a big matted mess (see photo), and with a grapefruit-sized mass on her left side. The shelter shaved her down, and then placed her on deadline to be either rescued or euthanized, and we just couldn’t let her die. Once with Lil Rascals, she got into our vet right away and we had the mass removed. The vet was able to remove all of it, and chest x-rays showed nothing concerning. She has bounced back from the surgery wonderfully and we know she feels so much better. She is even able to lay on her left side already. This sweet girl is good with all people and dogs, but is a little too curious with cats, so a cat-free home is a must. True to her breed, she has a high prey drive, always on the lookout for squirrels and other small varmints. Harlow is house trained, walks well on leash, rides great in the car, knows “sit,” and sleeps with her people all through the night. She is not a big barker. She has just started to play with toys and a tennis ball in her foster home. She is so cute now, and once her fur grows out she will be stunning. This brindle-color beauty has the prettiest eyelashes. Since she is normally a longer-haired dog, she will need regular brushing and grooming to keep her coat at its best. Harlow looks forward to having an active family with a fenced yard, who can take her on adventures with them.
