Arizona Golden Rescue

23-030 Harley is a neutered 9-year-old Goldendoodle who came to AGR because the female owner had to go into assisted living – a very difficult surrender since Harley had been a family companion for 6 years. He had grown very close to her since the passing of her husband. Although he hasn’t had much socialization with other dogs, he is described as loving, mellow and enjoys lots of attention. Harley briefly lived with two foster families before arriving at his forever home with an adoptive couple in Scottsdale. After being dropped off at his new home, Harley was a little “unsettled.” After taking an evening walk, he seemed more comfortable and relaxed with his new family. That night there was a thunderstorm which didn’t bother him at all. The next day he was waiting at the door when the adopter came home and gave her lots of kisses! Harley is now enjoying his new life with the adopters and their three resident dogs! When a follow-up call was made by an AGR member, the adopters said that they really love Harley. She said he is wonderful and that he is not going anywhere. She did mention that they must be mindful about leaving food on the counter because he once ate an entire rib eye steak which was raw, and another time ate the entire banana bread that she had just taken out of the oven. The adopter was laughing when relating those stories. She thanked AGR for calling and also said thank you so much for giving them, Harley. The adopter also described life with Harley as follows: 

We are so happy we were able to include Harley (a gentle giant) into our family. He is such a sweet boy and gets along well with our other dogs, Wiener, Billie Jean and Aussie Heeler, Pal . . . He loves to go for walks, loves to play, bounces all over our yard, he lays his head in our laps for love rubs and eats EVERYTHING within his reach. Harley has certainly found his way into our hearts and his forever home!
