Hartley is a very pretty, petite black and white Dalmatian mix. She may have had an owner prior to the dumper as she knows sit and down. She is a quick learner. Her owner was indifferent to their fates and not too knowledgeable about canine birds + the bees. Shelter staff report that he harshly told his 3 crying children to be quiet.
She is completely loving + involved with her babies. Plays with them constantly.
She is very loving with her foster parents and seeks to join in on "group hugs!" She loves to roll on the grass -- this is so different from her life at the end of a chain!!! Hartley is a quick learner + takes instruction easily. She loves playing with balls and is an enthusiastic participant in Fetch. After a lifetime of being chained, she loves playing outside and running around. She is very ready for a life as a single, childless lady.
Hartley so wants a family of her own. She will need slow introductions to new people in her life as she has been failed by her previous owners. Obedience classes would be a good idea to increase the human-animal bond between Hartley and her new humans. Hartley's suggested adoption donation is $300.
