Harvey is the newest member to our family. He is a 7 months old, male beagle mix. We adopted Harvey in December of 2010.He was rescued from a kill shelter, humane society of Utah in Salt Lake City by a West Vancouver based rescue organization “Dogwood Rescue Organization”.
He was one of 7 puppies to be euthanized in the shelter. The rescuers had already filled the car with dogs that been saved and were on the line for euthanization. One of the members could not say no to the puppies and had to save one of them at least but there was no kennel space. They selected Harvey because he was small enough to be put on the lap and get him out. He was brought to Vancouver through an amazing network of volunteers. We are proud to be one of them.
We met Harvey because the volunteers who were fostering Harvey brought him to our playcare for play and to have fun. The moment we met Harvey, we felt the connection but we were not ready to have a second dog. Jonah was our priority and we had to consider him in this matter.
We agreed to give Harvey a week to try to see how he gets along with Jonah and also to get to know him better. Few days later we knew that we had to keep him. We made our decision based on the fact that Jonah welcomed him in our family and Harvey needed some work that we could handle. Plus he was too cute to let go. We finalized the adoption on Monday December 7, 2010.
We have decided to create a blog about Harvey and his progress for two reasons. One because Harvey’s fans have requested a way to be updated and second his training progress can be a tool for new dog owners or similar to Harvey can pick up some tips. This way we can contribute to our fans and community.
