Happy tails-Harvey

First of all we would like to thank all the staff at homeward pets for
providing such excellent care to all the animals at the shelter. Keep up
the good work! Harvey is everything I was looking for in a dog and more!
He fits into our family perfectly (except he hogs the whole couch)! He
is a BIG boy weighing over 75lbs and counting. We adopted Harvey in
July 2008 when he was four months old, and we haven't looked back since!
Harvey has the best personality, he loves to share his toys with other
dogs (often carrying them over to another dog and spitting it out in
front of them) and he plays great with dogs of all sizes. Harvey truly
enjoys every inch of our five acres, and always makes sure to do his
"jobs". Harvey has taken it upon himself to bring the horses in every
night and put them out very morning, he is a natural herding dog! He
also makes daily checks on the chickens. He is also catching mice better
than any barn cat we have ever had. Harvey is very confident and
independent, he is definitely not a needy dog. The true love of his life
is my parent's 15 year old blue-healer mix, who has had a new lease on
life since his arrival. She has been his mentor, teaching him how to be
a true farm dog (especially looking after the chickens). Harvey has made
us laugh until we cry on a daily basis...he truly is the family clown.
He loves watching the tv programme "Living With the Wolf Man"...and
judging by his reaction to the commercial for "Marley and Me" he is
looking forward to seeing that too! In his down time he likes to look at
himself in the mirror and try to play with the dog that is starring back
at him. Once again We would just like to thank you guys...Harvey is the
center of our world and we wouldn't have it any other way!
