Harrison came to us when his previous owners—who were in the service—found themselves without the time or experience needed to raise a young puppy. When they were reassigned, they made the thoughtful decision to seek help placing him in a home better suited to his needs.
At just 7 months old, Harrison (aka Harry) is a handsome, sweet-natured boy with a playful spirit. He loves romping around with dogs his own size and brings an enthusiastic energy to every play session. In his foster home, he’s been thriving and continues to show what a loving, affectionate companion he can be.
Harry can be a bit shy when meeting new people, so he would do best in a calmer home without a lot of unfamiliar visitors coming and going. He’ll truly flourish with an adopter who understands his breed and can provide the structure, routine, and guidance he needs as he grows. Continued walks, positive socialization, and consistency will help him build confidence and develop into a well-rounded adult dog.
With the right home, Harry is sure to become a loyal and loving companion.
Like all GSDs and other herding breeds that we have in rescue, Harry will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to be a well-balanced, well-behaved dog. This sweet boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that she needs. Because of that, Harry's ideal owner will have prior GSD, or similar breed experience. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.
Harry's adoption fee is $395, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.

Why are Sponsorships & Donations so important?
HUGS provides dog food, supplies, necessary vet care (emergency, acute, routine), heartworm and flea/tick preventative to the HUGS foster dogs while they look for their forever homes. This can be quite costly and challenging in many ways. Additionally, some of the dogs that we rescue arrive sick or injured and require hospitalization, expensive surgery or long-term medications or other treatment. This places a huge strain on our vet fund, and can affect our ability to help future dogs.
Sadly, without sufficient funding to transport, vet/treat, feed the dogs that we take in, we could not continue saving them. As a volunteer group that runs solely on donations and adoptions fees, we truly need your support.
