Meet Harper

If you're looking for a "Velcro dog", look no further!

This sweet senior pug named Harper is mostly blind. But don't tell her, because she manages to get around just fine thank you very much!

Harper was surrendered to us by her previous owner who had allowed her to wander their farm. As Harper's eyesight slowly worsened, they became concerned and asked us to take her. Surprisingly, the change from the only property she had ever known was remarkably easy.

In her foster home, it took Harper about a week to learn her way around and to respond to her foster mom's voice (Remember that childhood game called "Marco Polo"? Well this girl is an expert at finding you by just following your voice.) She happily wears panties to reduce the likelihood of an accident, and has learned to go outside (navigating two steps, thank you very much!) to join the others in a quiet stroll around the yard.

Harper is living with other dogs of all sizes as well as cats. She is remarkably tolerant of their exuberance and is happy to watch from a safe distance.

It is at snuggling that Harper shines. She is happy to crawl up on your lap or sit by your side and snooze. And don't even think about sleeping in a bed without her! You'll have a friend right next to you, snoring quietly away all night, then asking to be lifted off the bed when it's time to wake up.

Harper has been spayed and received a dental including losing many of her teeth. Her fecal and 4dx tests were negative and she is up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. She is on eye drops to keep her eyes lubricated, and those drops will need to continue for the rest of her life.

The ideal home for Harper is someone who's looking for a quiet, low maintenance snuggle buddy. Respectful older children would be fine, as would other pets. A fenced in yard is not necessary, although someone will need to keep a close eye on her during her outside wanderings. Harper walks well on a leash and would enjoy a short walk around the neighborhood and the chance to meet others.

If you think your household would be a good fit for Harper and you are prepared to take on her special needs, please apply at www.zoeshouserescue.com
