Harley aka Chicken

My story

Hi there, future best friend! My name is Harley… well, it used to be Chicken, but Harley sounds pretty cool, right? I answer to both, so you can call me whichever name makes you smile. I’m a 3-year-old Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger dream: to find my forever family. Life hasn’t been easy, but I’m not giving up hope. I was rescued from the pound in Yuma, and for a while, I thought I had found my happy ending. A wonderful person adopted me about six months ago, and I was so excited to start my new life. But sometimes things don’t work out the way we plan. The other dog in the house didn’t like me very much and started picking fights. I tried to be a good boy, but it just wasn’t safe for either of us. So, here I am again—waiting patiently at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, hoping that the next family who walks through the door will be mine forever. Let me tell you a little about myself. I’m not a high-energy dog, so if you’re looking for a jogging buddy or a hiking partner, that’s not really my style. What I am is the perfect couch companion. If you love curling up with a blanket, watching a good movie, and sharing some popcorn, I’m your guy! Belly rubs? Yes, please! Snuggles? Absolutely! I’m happiest when I’m hanging out with my people and feeling loved. I’ve got great manners, too. I’m house-trained and crate-trained, so no surprises there. I walk nicely on a leash, which means strolls around the neighborhood will be a breeze. I’m also up to date on all my vaccinations, I’m microchipped, and I’ve been neutered—so I’m ready to go home today! I’m good with older kids, and I really love people. I’m not sure how I feel about cats yet, but we can figure that out together. I have a short coat, so I don’t need fancy grooming—just an occasional bath to keep me looking handsome. I know what you might be thinking: “Why should I choose Harley?” Well, here’s my promise to you: I’ll be your loyal friend, your movie buddy, your stress reliever after a long day. I’ll greet you with a wagging tail every time you walk through the door, and I’ll never stop being grateful that you chose me. Right now, I’m staying at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, waiting for someone who sees me not just as a dog, but as family. Could that someone be you? If you’d like to meet me—and I really hope you do—please email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment. I’ve been dreaming about this moment for so long: the day I hop into your car, ride home with you, and finally know what “forever” feels like. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet, easygoing Lab mix who just wants to love and be loved, then I think we’re meant to be. So, what do you say? Let’s start our story together.
