Why is Your Pet "Rescued (or Stray) and Extraordinary"?
Almost a year ago, an extraordinary little dog named Harper trotted her way into our hearts, thanks to Hope Animal Rescue in North Carolina. My twin sister fosters dogs through Hope, and the moment she met Harper, she knew this little pup was meant to be ours, and she couldn’t have been more right.

Harper is a spunky 9-year-old mutt with a big heart packed into a tiny body. We lovingly call her our Velcro dog because she’s always glued to our sides, whether we’re cooking, watching TV, or simply moving from one room to another. She’s our very first dog, but she runs this household like she’s been in charge forever.

Gentle, loving, a little bit bossy, and completely perfect, Harper makes life brighter and more joyful every single day. When it’s breakfast or dinner time, she tip-taps across the floor to remind us. No barking required. Instead, she lets out the softest little purr-like sounds, her unique way of saying, “Hey, I’m ready!”

She follows me everywhere, always ready for a belly rub or scratch, and if I don’t get the hint fast enough, she’ll just tip herself over to make it easier. She’s also delightfully particular about her outdoor routine, inspecting three to five perfect spots before doing her signature four spins and finally taking care of business.

As a North Carolina native, Harper isn’t too fond of Pennsylvania’s chilly winters, so she stays cozy in her collection of little sweatshirts. Watching her bundled up, trotting proudly on her walks, you can’t help but smile.

Harper may be small, but she’s an extraordinary force of love, loyalty, and personality wrapped in fur. Our lives are richer, warmer, and infinitely happier with her in them.
