My personality

My story

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

Jake , is a sweet, cuddly lovebug looking for his forever home. We believe Jake to be no more than two years old. He is super playful and high energy. He can run 3 miles in 21 minutes! His ideal home would be with someone who runs or hikes and wants a four-legged partner in crime for their adventures. He also loves to walk and run on the treadmill. He gets along great with other dogs, especially those who have high energy like him and like to wrestle and play rough. He'd be an amazing agility dog if anyone is looking for that. He can sit, lay down and high-five (his personal favorite). He can also “sit and wait” for his meals or to be let out of his crate. Jake is SUPER food motivated and eager to please, so he is very trainable. As food motivated as he is, he has zero resource guarding. He doesn't even resource guard his toys and those are his second favorite thing in life right behind cuddles. H e loves toys! He always wants to have a toy in his mouth. He is house broken and has gone up to 10hrs before with no accidents! He does still pull on the leash, but with the proper collar and training this will lessen. He is not a fan of cats. He's not the biggest fan of being crated but he isn't destructive, so he gets to hang out loose in the house when his foster Mom is gone. He is a super snuggle bug and he loves to be on top of you. He also grunts when he is happy! Are you his new family?
Age: 2.5 years Weight: 69 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative Temperament: Good with older respectful kids and other dogs. Training: house trained, crate trained, He can sit, lay down and high-five. He can also “sit and wait” for his meals or to be let out of his crate. For questions, please email aimiablepetcare@aol.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.
