Harriet is a female three year old Retriever mix with medium energy. Miss Harriet has been with us here at the shelter longer than any other animal after being abandoned on our front step in 2022. She is an extremely sweet lady who came to us with a severe case of mange a lot of other skin conditions. With allergy testing, treatment, and lots of love, her skin has improved immensely.
Her nicknames are Corn Chip, and Harriet the Spy. She is fine with tolerant dogs, but can be a little get-in-your-face with other dogs. However, Miss Harriet does not like cats, and it is not recommended for her to go to a home with any.
She is severely allergic (literally off the charts) to many things, but most notably dust, all kinds of mites, ragweed, birch, hazelnut tree, and marsh elder. These allergies are extremely severe, and require lots of care, money, and veterinary maintenance. Because of this, Harriet would need to go to a vet-approved home. She does well with children and with people, she is extremely sweet and gentle and is guaranteed to make you smile!
Harriet likes snacks, showing off her tricks, and thievery. She dislikes being itchy, being told no, and being underappreciated
