Harvey, American Staffordshire Terrier For Adoption In Wheaton, Illinois

Location:

Wheaton, IL

Description:

Introducing Harvey, the pup with a personality as vibrant and varied as a box of doggy treats! This 1 ½ - 2-year-old dynamo is an exuberant and adaptable companion. Harvey's initial excitement around other dogs might make you think he's auditioning for a canine circus, but don't be fooled – he quickly calms down and becomes the life of the doggy party. His play style is top-notch, and once the initial enthusiasm settles, he interacts with other dogs like a true pro. He's even shown a friendly curiosity towards cats, though he might need a gentle reminder to dial down the excitement. With children, Harvey's youthful exuberance might send them sprawling, making older kids the recommended playmates. When it comes to his favorites, Harvey's got quite the list! From bully sticks and bones to creamy delights like cream cheese for his meds, this pup's culinary tastes know no bounds. He's all about the Fromm Beef diet with occasional Honest Kitchen beef supplements. For playtime, Harvey's Goughnuts super chewer double ring is the ultimate tug-of-war weapon, and he's all about the Playology squeaky stick for hours of fun. But it's not all action and treats for Harvey; he enjoys hanging out on his sofa and indulging in some good old-fashioned belly rubs. Harvey's love for water activities, from baby pools to showers and sprinklers, adds a splash of excitement to his life. While Harvey may not snore, his wiggly butt is a clear indicator of his zest for life. He'll eagerly paw at you for attention when the mood strikes and can unleash the zoomies at a moment's notice. Although he rarely leans in for petting, he'll actively seek comfort during thunderstorms or fireworks. His indifference to wearing sweaters or clothes adds a touch of laid-back charm to his style. Nicknamed Harvard, Harv, and even Harveston, this pup's quirky habit involves barking for attention when he misses you, followed by an adorable "aroo" and an irresistible wiggle when you're on your way. Harvey's got a soft spot for belly rubs and ear scratches, and he knows his basics – sit, down, and giving paw. But it's his "touch," "kiss," and "relax" commands that truly showcase his brilliance. While Harvey might pout when crated, he's a good sport and does fine when needed, with occasional protests and a talent for morning wake-up calls. Harvey's love for bully sticks and bones knows no bounds, and he's a master at puzzle balls and shredables for mealtime fun. His short walks are a breeze, although he'll pull hard if bunnies are involved, and he's a pro at redirecting his attention from neighborhood barking dogs. When thunderstorms or fireworks strike, Harvey seeks refuge with his humans and leans in for some reassuring snuggles. With his adaptable and lively personality, Harvey is ready to steal your heart and become the joyful companion you've been looking for!Adoption processThe first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.
