HARPER - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed. ***ADOPTION PENDING.*** A local family started noticing a stray female dog had began to show signs of being pregnant, so they took her under their care so that she'd have a safe place to deliver her litter. The pregnant dog was very sweet and receptive to their kindness. Shortly after the mom delivered her litter, she apparently got into a fight with some other animal, evident by the bite marks, that left her with a fractured leg. Not only did this family continue to care for mom and pups, they also covered the cost of having the mom's leg examined and treated by a vet and have offered to keep her for now. Their dedication to helping this mom and pups only increased our desire to help find the pups a home. Being the biggest pup in this litter, Harper also serves as the "big brother" and "protector". He's not aggressive at all, it's that all of his siblings seem to curl up around him and follow his lead on most things. When Harper ventured out to become friends with us, his siblings also took that step. And as his siblings watched Harper become playful with us, they began to do the same. He will make a great addition to any family that's looking to add a dog to their home. Harper has now received 2/3 of his first-year puppy vaccines, his Bordetella and rabies vaccinations as well as scheduled de-wormings and preventative care including being started on his flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. His adopter will have to agree to having Harper neutered once turns 6 months of age and providing SoCo with verification of such. Harper will require all of his basic training.
