Harley

Meet Harley — our 7-year-old “puppy” with a heart of gold <br/><br/>Harley may technically be 7 years old, but don’t tell him that — this happy boy still approaches life with the enthusiasm of a much younger dog. Despite not having the easiest start in life, Harley’s sweet and resilient spirit shines through in everything he does, always greeting the world with a pep in his step and a wagging tail. <br/><br/>Since coming into rescue, Harley has been thriving with a healthy diet, gentle exercise, and lots of love. He’s already slimmed down from the 85 pounds he weighed coming into Rescue And since receiving the proper care, his coat is improving beautifully after arriving with severe skin irritations that caused some fur loss and shaved areas. For the first time in a long time, Harley is finally getting ready to experience the happy, comfortable life he has always deserved — soaking up attention, enjoying his daily walks, and showing everyone just how sweet and joyful he truly is. Harley may need ongoing maintenance to help keep future skin flare-ups under control, but this certainly doesn’t slow him down or dim his happy, loving personality one bit. We’re happy to discuss the care routine that will help him thrive.<br/><br/>We lovingly call Harley our “7-year-old puppy” because he missed out on some of the training and structure many dogs receive earlier in life. Sometimes his excitement gets the best of him — whether that means jumping to say hello or trying to turn a misplaced item into a game — but Harley is incredibly eager to please, responsive to guidance, and a very smart boy who truly wants to learn. With consistency, patience, and continued training, he’s only going to keep blossoming.<br/><br/>Harley walks nicely on leash, enjoys daily strolls, and loves being close to his people. He’ll happily soak up belly rubs before settling quietly beside you, simply content to be near his humans. When he looks at you with those beautiful brown eyes you will melt. He’s not big on squeaky toys, but he does love a sturdy rope toy, or his leash, and quality time with the people he loves most.<br/><br/>Harley would do well as an only dog soaking up all the attention or with a calm canine companion who matches his easygoing style<br/><br/>Every dog deserves a happy ending, and we can’t wait for Harley to discover the kind of forever love he’s always deserved. <br/><br/>GRCGLARescue adopts within the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego.
