The end of this month marks 1 full year that Harmony has been in our care😔
This makes her our longest resident at Watertown Animal Control.
You might asking yourself, but why??
Harmony didn't have the easiest beginning. She was raised in a home with 50+ other animals, cats and dogs. She unfortunately was bred accidently, multiple times. When she came into our care, she decided she loved having her own space and not sharing time with any other dogs. This put her into the "only animal in a household" adoption category, which can be the most difficult for shelter/rescue workers.
What people tend to overlook is the true personality of a dog when they are out of a kennel environment. Most see the high energy, rambunctious, loud dog behind the chain link fence.
But what we see is....
A dog that craves human affection so much that every morning when we come in, she's barking and crying to go outside and play ball with us.
A dog that when we pet her, she becomes overstimulated with excitement.
A dog that when she's out of her kennel and in the office, she struggles to lay down and relax.
A dog that stands and stares at our vehicle leaving, after our shift ends.
As animal control officers, we bond with the animals who come into our care, especially the ones who have been with us for so long, and we ache for them to finally find their home.
We do our absolute best to create as much of a normal environment for the animals in our care, but let's face it, a kennel environment is not a "normal" environment.
Harmony is looking for the one person who will give her a chance. Who will see her for the bright light that she is🌟
She deserves to be in a home where she can finally understand she can relax and enjoy life.
