Harper Pit Bull Terrier Milwaukee, WI

Meet Harper, your potential new best friend! Harper is a 4-year-old pit bull mix who embodies the perfect balance of energy and chillaxin’. Whether you’re up for an adventure or prefer a quiet day at home, Harper adapts beautifully to your pace. She’s an excellent traveler, always ready for a road trip or long walks in new places. She is learning leash manners and will typically follow your pace, from speed walker to casual stroll. Harper’s signature feature is her right ear at attention.
Harper is learning to enjoy new foods and inspects them carefully before consuming. We have learned that she is not a big fan of cucumbers and is discerning about her taste in cheese. She enjoys sunbathing and is smart enough to find shade when she gets too hot. Harper can be very playful and entertains herself with fluffy toys, and she’s always up for a game of fetch. This cool 38lb dog is unphased by thunderstorms or fireworks.
Harper is incredibly smart and food motivated, making training sessions both fun and productive. She knows how to sit and always takes treats gently. Honestly, a baby could feed her treats. She wants nothing more than to please her humans and loves being by their side. If she ever tries to trespass into the garden or steal food from the counter, she responds well to verbal corrections and copious amounts of treats as a reward for listening.
Harper is an amazing dog and is rebuilding her confidence; she will thrive in a patient and supportive home that understands her needs. She would do very well with someone that works from home, as she is working through her isolation anxiety. The good news is she’s making great progress and she’ll continue to improve with love, consistency, and reassurance.
Harper does well with children, but very young children may be too unpredictable. She lives with a 15-year-old human and a 14-year-old, 24lb resident mix dog, Mr. Watson. She loves to clean his face after he eats. They’re happy to share a big dog bed or couch space, and sleep while mom is working, or when it’s family chill time. We are unsure about her compatibility with cats.
If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and playful companion, Harper is the dog for you. She’s waiting to find her forever home where she can share all her love and bring endless joy to her new family. Could that be with you?
