My story

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

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.

Patsy is on her second adoptive home. Though we all hoped differently, it’s more like a misfit sock than a cozy pair! She is looking for a new foster or adoptive home ASAP!

 

Patsy absolutely shines as an only pet in an adult home with a daily dose of exercise, which is what she had in her first adoptive home. Tragically her first mom sadly left this world way shut too soon, leaving Patsy alone in the home feeling confused and uncertain.

 

Patsy is 35 pounds of sassy sweet fun!  She gets along well with male dogs and can tolerate female dogs who accept her assertive nature.  But she really seems to thrive best as the only dog and ‘child’ in the home - she got used to being the center of some loving pet parent(s) world. 

 

Right now, she may feel like a deer in headlights in a bustling house full of kids or furry pals. There have been some cheeky incidents, like a little nip at a neighbor kid on a bike and a some squabbles over toys and food with other her dog roommate. 

 

We believe she’s a mix of border collie intelligence and Jack Russell bravado. These breeds require someone who is willing to keep up on her training and provide structure - she doesn't need to run the house.  She will actually be a happier dog if she knows her person is in charge.

 

What Patsy really dreams of is a home that mirrors her first happy digs! Think you could be the perfect match? Give us a shout!

Age: 5 y/o

Weight: 35 lbs

Temperament: Gets along with male dogs and submissive females; does like to be boss :) Respectful, older kids.

Training: Housetrained, crate-trained

Vetting: Spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm neg

Email for questions: jamie@doggieharmony.org

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. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

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.

Adoption application

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.
