Harlow's Story

Meet Harlow! Harlow is approximately 1 year old and is thought to be a possible Border Collie-type mix. <br/><br/>Harlow was seen running on his own for about 4 weeks. During this time, he would be seen instigating play with dogs in the neighborhood, but would get spooked and run anytime someone tried to contain him. Eventually, someone was able to gain his trust and after a month of being scared and alone, he was brought to safety! We don't know if he was dumped and abandoned by his family, or if he just found himself lost, but either way, we promised him the best future we could provide!<br/><br/>Harlow is still decompressing and understandably overwhelmed, so we're taking things one day at a time. He's very sweet and friendly, and even though he's still insecure (totally expected after what he's been through!), he turns to the closest human for reassurance and comfort. Harlow might spook easily, so safe containment anytime he's outdoors will be very important. This could certainly improve over time after he's settled with a new family and familiar with voices/commands, but until he feels fully safe and bonded with someone, a leash or a fence would be best. <br/><br/>Harlow should do well with other pets and respectful children as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised. He would benefit from a family who is willing to work with him on anything he might not know (his past is unknown at this time). Breeds like Harlow tend to be quick learners and bond quickly with their humans. If you have a little extra patience, we know Harlow is going to be a wonderful family pet! <br/><br/>We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved: <br/>https://www.co.monroe.wi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/35564<br/>(please email this PDF to monroecountydogshelter@gmail.com)<br/><br/>Harlow is now neutered & current on vaccines. His adoption fee is $200.
