Harley is a 3-year-old, 22 lb Terrier mix.
Harley is a gentle and timid dog who takes time to warm up to new people and places. He may need a bit of patience and understanding to build trust, but once he feels safe, his true affectionate nature shines through. He’s the type of dog who thrives in a calm, quiet environment where he can relax and be his sweet, cuddly self on the couch or in your lap. He also loves secluded nature walks. He is still learning to navigate social situations with other dogs and busy places. He can be very reactive and show signs of aggression, particularly in unfamiliar or stressful environments, but he has made significant strides towards remaining calm and is learning to redirect his energy more appropriately. For this reason, he would do best with an experienced owner who can help him continue his socialization journey. Harley is a true pro when it comes to house training—he is crate-trained, bathroom-trained, no chewing, but he is working on reactivity to sounds outside. He has a tendency towards separation anxiety that is easily managed with appropriate measures. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little extra time and care to blossom, Harley could be the perfect match for you. With patience, consistency, and love, he has the potential to become a wonderful, devoted pet. If you think this loving and sweet pup is the one for you, please apply online at www.crisisdogsnc.org.
