Harper is an 11 week old puppy, she weighs about 12 pounds.
Harper is a very special girl, she had a horrible accident probably when she was only 4 weeks old. When we got her she was suffering with a right rear crushed femur and pelvis fracture. Harper is a very strong little girl, so after being evaluated by our Veterinarian we decided to try and save her leg. We are hoping that the bones will grow together enough for her leg to be usable.
She is in a foster home where they are helping her heal with proper physical therapy. They said she is growing and gaining weight but her leg is still weak and still thinner than the other legs. She is determined to keep up with her foster sibling but is watched very carefully.
Harper is affectionate and enjoys being snuggled. She is kind to everyone she meets and does well with cats and dogs. We haven't tried her with kids but she will need a home with older kids only due to her injury.
She can be adopted, but the adopter will need to continue her physical therapy. We also want to make it clear that her leg may not heal like we are hoping and she would need surgery by an orthopedic surgeon or the leg would have to be amputated. Harper does require a fenced yard for her safety.
Please fill out an application from our website if you would like to meet sweet Harper.
