Harley may have been named after Harley Quinn but it is not the Joker she’s obsessed with, she’s obsessed with food!

Part of mama Scout’s litter of 7, Harley was the one of the biggest pups simply due to her love of food. She seems to have a food radar built into her when she was born, causing her to be able to detect whenever there is food in the vicinity which she will then sprint towards.

Back when she was still living with her siblings, this smart lady snatched up all the available food around her then ran over to the quietest spot in the cage to enjoy her haul while the rest of her siblings snatched their food from one another’s paws. Now that she lives alone, she tends to enjoy her food in the peace and quiet of her wheel which is where you will often find her. Other times, you can spot her burrowing under the bedding to look for more food remnants – a sign of how much of a glutton this girl is.

She is not only smart, but also incredibly sweet and will climb onto her fosterer’s hand on occasion and sit there, waiting to be taken out of the cage for playtime, extra treats, and some gentle pats on the head. This sweetheart is incredibly tame due to being constantly handled since she was 3 weeks old.
