Harvard at the Wood County Dog Shelter waiting for a new home

Harvard the dog

Harvard is looking for a home. The 3-year-old pittie/boxer mix was brought into the shelter as a stray last month. 

He was very scared when he came in and it was clear he had not been on a leash much, according to the Dog Warden Jodi Harding. But he has since come out of his shell and is full of personality, Harding said.

Harvard loves to run and play, and is doing much better on his leash walking skills. He does well with the other dogs at the shelter, but it is recommended that anyone wanting to adopt Harvard bring in the other dogs they have to make sure it’s a good match.

Harvard is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered 

The Wood County Dog Shelter is located at 1912 E. Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling Green, phone 419-354-9242.
