Harley

My story

Harley has had a rough life on the streets. He was turned into the shelter for chasing duck, so no fowl play for this guy!!!! He is very good with people and other dogs, but has no manners yet. We will be working with him, getting him to the vet to have his eye checked, neutered and hw tested, plus shots. We will have more pix and info on him soon. A diamond in the rough!! Fostered in Greeneville, TENN **Update**For Harley: I don't think I've met a happier dog. Coming from being a really skinny stray and obviously recovering from several injuries including an eye injury that has taken the right eye; he just wants to be friends. He wriggles his way up to meet people and dogs, ever hopeful for affection and friendship. When I'm in the kitchen, he will chill on the floor near me (along with my other foster, a cute shorty morty). He has a moderately high energy level, not excessive like a full blooded border collie; but he will need a safe place to run and play. My best guess is this cute and charming boy was kept outside on a leash or a chain previously. He might have injured himself slipping out of his collar, or got injured getting his collar hung up on something after getting loose. His several healing wounds also suggest some sort of fight or attack; but he holds no grudges and still hopes to be friends with everyone. His hopes for friendship lead him to be a little clueless. He can miss other dogs' "back off" cues, and that might have lead to his mostly minor injuries. His family will have to help him to learn those social manners. He allows his feet to be handled lightly, and is pretty agreeable. He gets along with other dog, cats, crate trained, and housebroken He is a respectful guy to people. He us very nosy and watches you. He just wants to be part of a family so bad. He does show quite an interest in chickens, and was picked up for harassing ducks with another dog. While he probably will learn great recall, he should not be trusted around fowl or livestock alone until very well trained. Unlike some dogs I have met that are "not safe with" livestock; Harley shows a lack of hyper-focus and a willingness to be redirected when around my chickens.
