Harley Quinn was found wandering the streets. We're not 100% sure what her breed is but she sure is cute!  This sweet little girl has made a full recovery from puppy (demodex) mange, but will still need to be on a high quality diet with limited ingredients as well as regular baths and bedding changes in order to make sure it stays under control.  And as with any dog, Fish Oil and vitamin supplements are a plus!

Harley Quinn is a very sweet, affectionate girl. She loves to be cuddled, is a sucker for a belly rub and as playful as they come.  She loves the dog park and interacting with other dogs. She has a ton of energy, and would be best suited in a home that can afford her a lot of exercise and attention.

• Leash Manners - She is 50/50 on the leash but getting better.  Sometimes she pulls but she can also walk nicely.
• Crate/House Training - She is crate trained and sometimes will go in on her own to sleep.  Harley is now at the point that she's figured if she goes and sits by the door that I know she has to go out. And if you ask her now, "Do you want to go out? Do you have to go potty"? She will in no uncertain terms tell you that she does! She goes in circles, jumps up and down. She has not had an accident in the house at all this time. Her crate is a must for her as she is slowly overcoming separation anxiety and must be left in her crate when you are away. However, she is improving on this steadily.
• Socialization - She is good with people most of the time.  She will hang back and not let some people pet her, but if given a minute to warm up, she's fine.  She's very good with children and when people are 'allowed' into the house, she's very friendly with them. She is an outstanding watch dog and has learned to stop barking when I tell her, stop.  She's good with other dogs at the dog park, but she likes to play rough and can be "pushy" with them. She's been in the 'large dog' side and does better there, mostly because she can be pushy with smaller or medium sized dogs. Not nasty or bitey, just pushy.  We do not know how she is with cats.
• Energy Level and Exercise - She has very high puppy energy – currently, she gets long walks and frequent trips to the dog park where she sprints and plays well with the other dogs without issue.  She also loves to fetch and swim.  I am moderately sedentary and she has adjusted to that, but I would highly recommend that she go to a house with a fenced yard & older children, from 9 to active teens and such. They would all enjoy each other, immensely.
• Daily Structure and Schedule - She gets Rachael Rays beef flavored dry dog food but will eat any food that you give her, I'm sure. I feed her four times a day, one cup each time, because she doesn't have much room in her small waist and it seems that small feedings, frequently suit her very well. I take her out for potty time when she asks, but before that it was morning, noon, night and before bedtime. She is safe to leave in the house at night, free to roam.
• Confidence Level - She is mildly submissive. Getting more confident by the week. Not aggressive and not feed aggressive either. Food and toys can be taken away from her no problem.
• Obedience Training - She is learning to heel, sit when I stop walking, Do you want to go out, potty?  Go get it. Get off.  Get in. Stop.  Wait (I do not let her go out the door until I tell her okay). Also, 'spit' when I want her to give me her toy. She has been off leash at the farm twice and stayed right with me, meaning I could let her go and she would run around sniffing the ground and play but would not run off.
• Behaviors - Harley has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone in the house when no one is there.  She also has put her paws up on the counters to check for food.  I am also teaching her to not jump up on people.  I make her Sit until she calms down then she is allowed to greet people.
• Personality Quirks - Harley is a very happy, very sweet dog, who has the capability to be a really good agility dog. If there is someone out there that does this type of thing, she would be wonderful at it, with her energy and willingness to please. She needs to focus more but that can be taught. She loves to eat and loves her cookies but is very gentle when she takes one. A person would feel safe with a child giving her a cookie because she's not a 'grabber'. She loves to hop on the bed and sleep with me at night and because she is very clean with very short hair, I don't mind this at all. She is not allowed on other furniture, but that might have to be reinforced in her new home until she gets acclimated.
• Ideal Home - She would do best in an active home, dedicated to giving her the exercise she needs.  She would do best in a home with a fenced in yard considering she needs potty frequently.  Harley would be fine in a home with children.

The Terrier is a good-natured, amusing, extremely loyal and affectionate family pet, which is good with children and adults. Almost always obedient, it is always eager to please its master. It is an extremely courageous and intelligent guard dog that is very full of vitality. They are highly protective of their owners and the owner's property. It is usually very friendly, but has an uncanny ability to know when it needs to protect and when everything is okay. Excellent with children in the family, they have a high pain tolerance and will happily put up with rough child play. As with any breed, they should not be left alone with unfamiliar children. Used as all around working farm dogs, they were referred to as "the poor mans horse". They are strong and generally weigh between 40 and 70 lbs. They have a life expectancy of about 12 - 14 years.
