My story

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

Very affectionate lap cat

Lily is a very intelligent and inquisitive short-haired tortoiseshell cat, 8.3 lbs. of sweetness and would sit on your lap forever if she you’d let her. Her tiny meow sounds like a little kitten’s and can sound REALLY pathetic when she's lonely.  
Lily was thought to be feral and was terrified of everything outside, including her feeder. She was trapped and spayed but during post-surgery recovery, she started meowing, purring, making biscuits and reaching to be petted. Lily must have had a family in the past but was lost or abandoned, and found herself all alone and scared.
Lily wants a cat savvy forever person who’s home a lot to give her the attention she craves and she must be an inside-only cat. Someone familiar with the tortie personality would be ideal. She loves being petted and especially likes having her neck and chin softly scratched. She LOVES canned food. Since she’s not much into drinking water, warm water is added to her canned food to make it soupy to make sure she’s hydrated. She’ll eat dry food but it isn’t her favorite. But she LOVES treats like Temptations Mix-Ups and the like. A deep litter box is needed, maybe with a top, because she’s VERY vigilant in making sure everything is covered.
When you walk, she wants to be right at your feet so if you’re at all unsteady, she’s not for you. That might stop once she feels really secure.
Since her past is unknown and in her foster home she isn’t around kids, she shouldn’t be in a home where young kids live or visit often. Older kids 12 and older who love cats might be OK. She’s thought to be about 1 1/2 to 2 years old.
She tested negative for FIV/feleuk and heartworms, has her rabies vaccine and a microchip. She also had her feline distemper vax and a dose of Advantage Multi (defends against fleas, heart worms, ear mites, roundworm and hookworm) was applied. 

Age: 6 years. Weight: 60 lbs Temperament: Older respectful kids only.  Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, FIV negative.   Training: uses litterbox  For questions, please email veggie236.art@gmail.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. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We are 100% volunteer/foster based, so we do ask that you complete an adoption application in order for us to schedule a phone interview.

2.

Interview

After reviewing your application, we'll contact you to determine if dog is a good fit for your lifestyle and home.

3.

Approve Application

We check vet and personal references to ensure previous dogs were well cared for, so please be thorough in providing this info.

4.

Home Check

This enables the dog to get to know you and your home and for us to suggest anything they may need to be successful in your home.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

You would also pay the fee at this time, however, we offer a 2 week trial period before cashing your check. We will always take dogs back.

Additional adoption info

You will be asked to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/dh-adoption) and allow a home visit to ensure the pet is a good fit for your home/lifestyle.

We are primarily a placement service, so the adoption fees vary depending on each pet and what caretakers have invested medically and behaviorally to ensure they are adoption-ready.

Go meet their pets

Doggie Harmony does not hold regular adoption events, but follow our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/doggieharmony) for special events. We also encourage you to contact us about pets you may be interested in, as we are always willing to bring them to meet you.

We do not have a shelter, so please understand that we are only able to support animals with foster homes or donations toward short-term boarding.

More about this rescue

Doggie Harmony is a metro-Atlanta dog rescue group focused on finding the right homes for dogs in foster care or belonging to owners who wish to re-home them. Our core objective is to place these dogs before they are turned over to animal control facilities, where they may be euthanized. Lastly, Doggie Harmony supports spay/neuter, wellness, and training to help keep or place dogs. This includes helping people find low cost resources and/or lending financial support where there's a qualified need.
