About dogs named Haru

The following are 9 profiles of dogs named Haru from our database of 27 dogs with the name Haru.

• “You talking to me? I don’t like strangers very much… it’s not like I’ll eat you or anything.. but please don’t try and touch me or else I’ll be feral and bark at you until you cry mwhahah (it apparently embarrasses my mom, idk why)! I don’t really care about other dogs. My mom brings me to work with her and is always giving other dogs a bath, so I’m pretty used to others! I love putting shit in my mouth like grass and sticks, so my mom is always watching me like a creep. Okay, I’m bored now.. bye“

• “We call Haru our little house cow! She is the definition of a dog that just wants love. She’s very low energy and spends most of her days sleeping/cuddling with her humans. She does jump in and play with her brothers from time to time but overall cannot be bothered. She’s a sweetheart but had been abused before we adopted her so she’s just apprehensive of new people/things and gets protective of her brothers and humans.“

  — Rebekah L.

• “Hello my name is Haru I am a German shepherd mix. I love playing fetch with my mom! I am a reactive pup due to past experience but I am working on it everyday:)“

  — Alexis M.

• “Hello friends! My name is Ha-roooo! I live smells and am pretty protective of mom cause we have been attacked by "friendly" dogs since I was 4 months old. But I love making new human and furry friends it just takes me a bit to warm up to furry friends. My mom says I can be a bit much for people who aren't use to scared loud hunting hounds but I promise I am friendly and I love meeting and experiencing new things.“

  — Terra T.

  — Emily K.

I like people and I am working on being less reactive to other dogs. My humans provide me with different toys and experiences, however, I am excited to sniff new areas!“

  — Andrea O.

  — Ari O.
