Harvey was recently brought to us as a stray. He is a big boy and LOVES to play fetch with tennis balls, frisbees, you name it. He knows basic commands and can catch a treat in mid air! He does have some issues with restraint and touching his underside, therefore no young children in his new home. He has so much potential to be a good boy with the right person. If that person can be you, apply today! Visit Harvey at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
