My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bavaria aka Ari is a small ball of energy with a big heart! She is smart, loyal, and loves everyone person she meets! Her favorite activities include cuddles, walks, and naps with her pup friends.

Ari gets along with dogs her size and smaller. She is 42 pounds. It takes her some time to warm up to bigger dogs, but she does have a few large breed friends that she's made while with her foster family. Her foster family runs a doggie daycare and boarding service from their home and while Ari get along with most of the dogs, we think she'd be happiest in a home with only 1 or 2 other pups.

Ari hasn't encountered any cats so we don’t know how she will do with feline company.

She hasn’t been around kids but based on her temperament we think she would be fine around older respectful kids.

Ari is fully crate trained and housebroken. She uses the doggie door and takes her meals in her crate. Ari is VERY food motivated. She'll run into her crate to let you know that she's ready to eat or if she thinks she's about to get a treat.

She also LOVES the scent of her human and will bring a stray shoe or sock into her crate. Only one of each though because Ari knows sharing is caring. LOL! She won’t damage the item and will gladly relinquish it without a fight.

We have noticed mild resource guarding during meal times around other dogs. Ari will growl if a dog comes close to her bowl but we think it is mostly posturing. She has been learning to relax with that now that she is fostering with several other dogs.
She has never demonstrated any sort of resource guarding with people. Video of her manners. https://youtu.be/iMnENrFlSNM

Ari has come a long way with leash training and with consistent walks she will continue to improve. She is manageable and does not pull as much. She does well on car rides too. What we love about her is that she will match your energy. If you are sitting around, she’ll sit with you. If you are outside on a stroll, she’ll love that too.

Age: 2 years Weight: 42 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm positive but treatment is paid for and underway. Temperament: dog selective and needs slow intro, good with older respectful kids (no experience with small kids to know). Training, House trained, crate trained, knows commands Sit and Wait. https://youtube.com/shorts/1ovfrWfWztw?si=vxsM7wxgRfE6659j Email for questions: sonaligokhale@yahoo.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review.

Additional adoption info

Those interested in dogs on our site are asked submit an application that we share with this dog's current caretaker. The caretaker reviews it to see if the pup would make a good fit for your home and if so, they will follow up with a phone interview. If you both agree it's a match, you would sign a contract, pay a fee and receive your dog within 2 weeks.

If both caretaker and applicant agree that the dog is a great fit, a contract is signed between the parties and the adoption fee is $400.00-$450.00 and is collected via PayPal. This adoption fee covers the cost of transport and also ensures the dog has all of it's basic vetting to include spay/neuter, shots, etc.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our dogs travel from Atlanta, Georgia directly to their adoptive homes in the northeast. Our transporter drives up the coast from DC, all the way to Kittery, Maine.

While you can't meet our dogs prior to adoption, we will speak with you extensively, provide videos, share trainer evaluations and offer proof of vetting to ensure our dogs are a match for your home. Those that aren't, would be returned to us here in Atlanta at no cost to the adopter.

We also have partners in the Northeast who can help us facilitate adoptions and/or returns.

More about this rescue

Doggie Harmony was founded in Atlanta in 2009 by Liz Mansour and Jamie Sprague, a couple of neighbors seeking to help stray dogs that turned up locally.

From there, Doggie Harmony expanded to other neighborhoods and other people who found dogs and eventually, it was realized that nearly every neighborhood in Georgia found strays, most of which ended up in our grossly over-populated county shelters. With an estimated 300,000 unwanted pets destroyed yearly in Georgia shelters, we realized we had to find more homes to put them in.

In 2012, we began building partnerships with northeastern rescues and developed a consistent process for matching our dogs to great people and delivering those dogs to their homes up there. To become even more self-sufficent and less burdensome on our northeastern friends, we decided to launch Doggie Harmony Northeast.
