About Me
*Harriet is now a CBHR Forever Foster. Thanks to our many generous donors, she will live out her days in the care and love of her foster family while receiving necessary medical treatment.*
My name is Harriet, and I’ve had a rough life recently. I came to a shelter in Hoke County as a stray, and sadly, no one contacted them to reclaim me. So I came to CBHR, where I found a loving foster family, some good medical care and a nice, warm bed.
And I’m so thankful to CBHR because I have many ongoing medical needs, and I will need a very special, dedicated forever family. Among other things, I have a kidney problem that requires a special diet, high blood pressure and a heart murmur, and recurring mammary lesions that are being evaluated. This volunteer organization is making sure I get all the care I need for now!
I’m a very sweet senior girl, about 12 years old, and my foster mom says I am just adorable. Well, I can’t argue with that! I’ve never met a stranger, and I love being around people of all ages.
In fact, the only times I get nervous are in the car, since I’m still getting used to that, and if I am left alone. As a former stray, I think I am just afraid I’ll be left behind.
I really enjoy my walks and meeting the neighbors. I get along with other dogs and don’t bother the cat. I let the people know when I have to go out and I am housebroken, but as an older lady, I also have some bladder control issues that result in some accidents, but I have learned to use the pee pads put out for me on such occasions.
However, I really enjoy being with people and hanging around the house. I know I have some challenges, but my fosters say I’m well-behaved. If you think you might have the ability and desire to care for an older houndie with medical needs, contact CBHR and tell them Harriet sent you!
