My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rusty, a stocky little bulldog mix with maximum charm! This little guy is always ready for a good time and loves making new friends - especially with kids! Rusty is almost pawfect, and he's eager to please his hoomans.
The only thing holding Rusty back is his past of freely roaming his neighborhood in Georgia, which makes him a bit more skeptical when he meets new dogs while restrained by a leash or a fence. But, he’s a quick learner and the kennel staff is working overtime to help him become a leash pro. Although he can get a little rowdy when frustrated (as redheads sometimes do), he’s got a heart of gold and a willingness to learn.
If he could find a forever (or foster) home with dedicated pawrents, Rusty would shine brighter than a diamond in the ruff! His previous hoomans didn't give him the proper training, but he's ready to start fresh and become the best boy he can be. Give Rusty a chance, and he'll become your most loyal snuggle buddy ever!

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption or Foster Application (www.doggieharmony.org/forms) for caretakers to review. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs even have discounted fees.

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.

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.
