years old… not because of his teeth, but because of his attitude Plot twist: he’s probably more like 1–2 years old and was just having a ✨rough chapter✨. Let’s talk lore Size: 7 lbs (portable, TSA-sized demon) Age: Young-ish (emotionally ancient in the shelter, youthful gremlin at home) Vision: Very sight-impaired but not fully blind — vibes > visuals Vet visits: Spicy. Especially when thermometers are involved. Don’t we all relate? Past life: Adopted into a loud, busy home with lots of kids/animals → briefly became The Exorcist Current life: Foster home in Sacramento = COMEDY GOLD In his foster home, Harpy has revealed his true form: ✔ Loves humans, visitors, 3 dogs, and 2 cats ✔ Obsessed with toys and being included in literally everything ✔ LOVES walks ✔ Car rides = dramatic whining… unless he’s in foster dad’s lap (problem solved) ✔ Lives for mealtime ✔ Pee pad trained + goes outside (but yeah, accidents happen if access is denied) ✔ Communicates exclusively in chiweenie commentary ✔ Sleeps burrowed under blankets 100% of the time ✔ Will crawl into clean laundry and cause near-death experiences ✔ Sleeps belly-up, balls-out, without shame Medical note : Harpy has corneal edema, but it’s not painful and currently requires no eye drops. Important update from the foster files : Harpy was only away from his foster home ONE night, where he turned into Linda Blair, and in the several weeks since returning, this alleged shape-shifter has shown ZERO signs of possession. The demon era appears to be… over. ➡️ for now. Location: Sacramento Meet him where he feels safe and hilarious — not scared and spicy — so you can see the real Harpy experience. We do not recommend a home with young children. Older calm children that can allow him time to decompress and warm up is OK. Same goes for adults because some adults just can't help themselves either when something is that freaking adorable (Guilty) If you’re open to loving a formerly possessed demon trapped in the body of the Toy Story slinky, send us an email.! Harpy is ready to steal your blankets, your laundry, and your heart.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
