“Harvey-Dent, formerly “Shermy,” was dumped at a high-kill shelter in Texas with his mama and siblings. They were pulled from the shelter by BARRK Animal Rescue and placed into foster care. Next, they were transferred to Georgia. Harvey contracted Parvovirus on the way up. A very common, $12 vaccine as a puppy could have prevented this. 90% of puppies who do not get treatment for Parvo die. Thanks to Dr. Terry and the amazing staff at Lake Hartwell Veterinary Hospital, Harvey made a full recovery.
He arrived in our home early May of 2018. It only took two weeks before we were completely smitten with this little 11lb puppy. Sweet is an understatement. All Harvey wanted to do was please us- he would do ANYTHING for a pet or “good boy.” To this day, Harvey is part of our welcoming committee. Whenever a new dog comes to the house, he spends the first few nights sleeping beside their crate. He has been snapped at and slapped dozens of time, but he has made it his job to make every dog feel like they have a friend and safe home.”
