Chocolate Labrador Retriever : : Male (neutered) : : Young : : Large
Harley Joe needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him get a new start?
Harley is a 2 year old pure chocolate lab. It is hard to believe that this wonderful, happy fellow was rescued from life chained to an igloo in the middle of a yard with no shade. He is so willing to please and knows some basic commands like come, sit, shake, and down. He can give a great "High Five". He does need work on a leash, but he is very intelligent and should learn quickly if his new owner is patient, consistent, and kind. See update below. Harley just loves to run and play fetch (something he has been sorely missing). It is obvious that at some point in his life, someone spent time with him. Harley was temporarily fostered on a farm where he was exposed to horses, cats, and other dogs. He seems to like children; due to his size, age, and exuberance, he may do better with children who are a little older as he could knock a small child down. Harley has been neutered, given all vaccines, started on interceptor and K-9 Advantix. He tested negative for heartworm and lyme disease. With a good diet, regular brushing and coat care, Harley's sunburned haircoat will turn a deep luxurious chocolate.
UPDATE: Foster Mom is using a Halti - headstall on Harley and he is walking beautifully along with two other lab foster brothers. Foster Mom took him to work with her and he was the official greeter. He just loved meeting new folks and greeting them in a warm, friendly, and respectful way. He plays nicely with his foster brothers, but they are older and tire out easily. Harley would be wonderful with another happy, playful dog who enjoys a good game of chase. This boy is just a typical lab whose goal in life is to please his owner.
6/22/2010: Foster Mom's report.....He is SUCH a good boy... very well behaved, great temperament... well adjusted... great disposition... pleaser... quick study... very obedient... he's just super!!!
Do you have the time, patience, and room for Harley to become the dog we know he wants to be. Harley wants a loving forever home. It is evident that he will be a loyal companion.
