Harley is a special dog. She was abused for 2 years before I got her. She was kept in a size small kennel as a large breed dog. She was not able to walk without falling when I brought her home. She was srpayed with cayenne pepper in the eyes by her abuser which has caused her to have skin irritation around her eyes. She also has skin irriration on her back, I'm assuming from being in a kennel for 2 years. Her fur will come and go and her skin will get dry often. She is the sweetest girl and deserves a good home with someone who has the time and funding to give her the proper care she needs.
