Harvey Cattle Dog & German Shepherd Dog Mix Marion, IA

Hi there, I'm, Harvey! I might be a puppy, but I've already mastered the art of loving big! I'm 8 months old, and my foster family says I'm adorable from head to tail-especially my ears! One look, and you'll know exactly what they mean. My happy tail is always wagging, especially when I'm snuggling, playing, or just being near my people.

Speaking of snuggles, I'm a pro. My favorite move? A full embrace hug where I wrap my paws around your neck. It's my way of showing how much I care! When I'm not hugging, you'll find me chewing on a bone (great for my puppy teeth), learning new things (I'm a quick study with sit, off, and wait), or shadowing my humans to see what they're up to.

I start my day with happy tail wags, kisses, and a quick potty break before breakfast and playtime. Afterward, it's nap time-because even busy puppies like me need rest! Some days I even go to doggy daycare because I love playing with new friends! At night, I sleep soundly with some white noise and the comfort of knowing my people are nearby.

I've been working on my confidence when I'm alone, and with a cozy blanket and calming sounds, I can self-soothe when I'm alone. I'm also crate-training for those moments when you're away. I do well after a bit if I have something to keep me engaged, like a puzzle or a frozen Kong and calming music.

I'm a social butterfly who loves dogs my size or bigger and understand their social cues like a champ! I haven't met any cats yet, so I'm not sure what I'd think of them. I warm up quickly to women and kids, and with men, I just need a little extra time to sniff and feel safe-then I'm all in for belly rubs and snuggles!

My ideal furever home could include other canine friends and/or kids, and adults who are ready to love me and help me grow. I'd thrive with a family that's around often, as I love being with my people. At my young age, I'm soaking up everything like a sponge and can't wait to learn all the things with you!

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with the sweetest snores, cutest ears, and a heart of gold, I'm your guy. Let's make forever happen together!

Harvey is fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered.
