Story
Meet happy Harlow! This precious girl was rescued from a kill shelter in Houston. She’s about 3 years old and 40lbs. She has big, hopeful brown eyes and a darling underbite. She’s a small black Lab mix, which is a great combo - manageable size and weight, black (our favorite color), active and fun-loving, smart as a whip, affectionate, very loyal and protective of her foster mom. Harlow is a bundle of energy and loves to chase tennis balls. She’s also a real squirrel fan. If she could she would climb a tree to get one that teases her. When she’s back from her walk or run or park time retrieving tennis balls like a pro, she will stand at the window for hours watching squirrels play or birds in the trees like she’s watching TV. Harlow is young, but she has learned her house manners. She is a very quick learner and loves to please. She knows sit, wait, drop it, leave it, down, come, kennel, let’s eat, let’s go outside, walks well on a leash and always seems happy. She likes to learn new things, and then will practice her new talents for her favorite treats. She loves her success, so she benefits from continued training and simple rules. She will sit while her food bowl is filled and wait after it’s put in front of her until she’s told, “Okay Harlow.” She sometimes chooses to lie by her person, but is also independent enough to choose to go lay in her big open kennel (one of her favorite places she uses as a lounge) or on her bed or the couch in another room. Harlow would do best in a home with bigger dogs and children that are older, or adults. She is not a fan of cats. She has the stamina of a young Labrador retriever so she needs a very active household and plenty of exercise. Harlow has truly positive happy energy, so she is a pleasure to have around.
Harlow does have a medical issue but it does not slow her down at all. She has “fly biting seizures” and takes medicine every day with good control. These seizures are not what you are familiar with, they are just a small period of time where Harlow appears to be catching flies, they pass quickly. She has not had any for a very long time as long as she takes her daily pill. If you would like to make Harlow a member of your family, please complete an adoption application.
