My story

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

Doreen wins over everyone she meets with her smiling face and willful spirit. She is 3 years old and 46 pounds. She lives in a home with her foster dad and another dog who is twice her size. Her favorite activities include walks, car rides, and putting her head in your lap for pets.

Doreen was brought to a high trac shelter as a found pet in December 2023. Shelter life is stressful for most dogs but for Doreen it was especially difficult. Volunteers described her as friendly but shy and nervous. She wasn’t eating and losing weight. This is clearly a dog who once had a home, and it must have been awful for her to nd herself in a noisy, chaotic shelter. Doreen had many volunteer fans who loved her sweet nature and were worried about her being at risk of euthanasia for space. Doreen was lucky enough to nd her foster in May 2024.

Doreen is relieved to be out of the shelter but would love to have family to call her own. She walks well on leash and knows to “sit.” She is friendly towards other dogs but would do best in a home as an only dog (she gravitates towards people over dogs) or with a submissive dog (who won’t mind her headstrong nature). Her experiences in life and near starvation have made her protective of her food bowl around other dogs so this is also something to be aware of. We recommend feeding her separately if there are other animals in the house. In time, when she is in a secure, safe environment this may be self-correcting.

Age: 3 years Weight: 46 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm negative and on prevention Temperament: Fine around other dogs but would prefer to be an only dog at home, or with a submissive dog. Good with older, respectful kids, no cats. Training, House trained, crate trained and good on leash 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. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

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.
