Dog Rescue Stories: Harvey Won His Forever Mom Over with His Spunky Personality!

By Jarissa Aquinde, Positively Woof Rescue and Adoption Story Editor

One-year old Harvey was adopted last summer when he was just 10 weeks old from Pawsitively Furever Rescue. His forever mom first met him at an adoption event at a Petco in New Jersey.Harvey’s fur-mother was a stray who was found in Texas. She appeared to have been abused and was pregnant. The adoption agency took her in, fostered her until she had her puppies, then shipped mom and the entire litter to NJ. Most of the puppies were pre-adopted, but Harvey’s initial adopter backed out.Harvey’s humom fell in love with his spunky, playful personality and he’s been a beloved family member ever since!
