Harriet (ID 720840) has been waiting for a home for over two months and unfortunately the shelter is not where this sweet girl shows her best self.
This gal is a 5-year-old Beagle mix who was found running after a truck that kept speeding up as she tried to follow it. Eventually, she became too tired to keep going and was brought to us. We don’t know anything about her life before that day, but since arriving at the shelter, we’ve been slowly getting to know her.
The staff and volunteers have spent a lot of time with Harriet to help her acclimate, and she has made a lot of progress. Once Harriet is out of her kennel and feeling more comfortable, she really starts to open up. She enjoys exploring the yard with her nose leading the way, walks well once she settles into the leash and has happily approached people for pets and attention. She is also VERY treat motivated, although we’re still working on taking those treats a little more gently,
Harriet has also been through heartworm treatment during her time with us and recently completed her final injections like a brave girl. She is still on activity restrictions while she recovers, but at 5 years old, she has plenty of speed when she’s feeling comfortable!
More than anything, Harriet needs someone who can look past how frightened she is in the kennel and give her the time and patience to feel safe. She has so much love to give and deserves a home where she can finally relax and be herself.

FIRST QUARTER MOON IN SAGITTARIUS: let intuition hold your aim true and steady.
This week, the focus centers on the temple you are building around yourself—especially through your chosen family. Patriarchal expectations may stir doubts about living your truth: the reversed Emperor’s toxic masculinity tries to box you in, while the reversed Empress speaks to a neglected femininity that has learned to hide. These energies may surface through parental voices or memories, reactivating early wounds of otherness.
But the power to move beyond those vestiges of patriarchal oppression lives more strongly in the present: in the life, community, and freedom you are actively choosing. For a reflection on the LGBTQ+ struggle, The Brittney Griner Story screens today at 6:00 PM at the Pride Center at Equality Park—a reminder of the courage required to claim the freedom simply to be.
(Key numbers: 1, 3, 4, 10)
