Harper - Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Viroqua, Wisconsin

Meet Harper! ❤️

Harper is a sweet, affectionate girl who recently returned to DHS due to changes in her family's schedule and home dynamics. She's ready to find a forever home where she can settle in and be a cherished member of the family.

Harper is house-trained, kennel-trained (though she'll need a secure, escape-proof kennel when crated), and walks wonderfully on a leash. She gets along well with both dogs and cats, making her a great addition to many households.

This lovable girl thrives on companionship and enjoys being close to her people. She can experience some separation anxiety if left alone for long periods, so she'd do best with someone who is home often or has a securely fenced yard where she can spend time outside--her absolute favorite place to be!

Harper has lived with children and has done well. Because she's a larger dog, she may be the best fit for a home with older kids to help prevent accidental bumps or knockdowns during play.

She's a low-key girl who doesn't require a lot of exercise. A daily walk, some outdoor time, and plenty of love are all she needs to be happy. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will happily spend her days by your side or soaking up the sunshine, Harper could be the perfect match for you!

The Anatolian Shepherd is a large and powerful ancient breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Originating in Turkey, these dogs were bred to guard livestock from predators, showcasing their strong natural instincts. Anatolian Shepherds have a distinctive short double coat that comes in various colors, with a black mask common on their faces. They require early socialization and consistent training to manage their independent yet devoted temperament effectively.

Our mission is to rescue. Our dream is that one day we won't have to.
