From Humphreys County Humane Society

WE KEEP WAITING TO WRITE HARPER’S HAPPY UPDATE. THIS IS NOT IT. SHE IS STILL HERE. Nothing new has happened for Harper, and that is exactly what hurts so badly.There has been no adoption. No family waiting at the front desk with a leash and a collar. No excited ride home. No soft bed waiting in a quiet room. No picture of Harper stretched out on somebody’s couch after finally realizing she never has to sleep inside a kennel again.Harper is just still here.She is still waking up to the sound of dogs barking all around her. She is still watching people walk past her kennel. She is still getting excited when somebody stops to speak to her, hoping maybe this time they stopped because they came for her. She is still soaking up every little bit of attention our volunteers can give her because, for a few minutes, she gets to pretend she belongs to somebody.Then that time ends. The volunteer has to go home, Harper has to go back inside, and her kennel door closes again.We take more pictures. We write another post. We tell people what a good girl she can be when she is away from all the noise and stress. We hope the right person will finally see her. Then another day passes, the shelter…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting Harper works

Humphreys County Humane Society decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
