My story

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

Kya is extremely loving. Outside of her reactivity, she really is a sweet pup. She is perfectly content to lay on the couch with you while read or watch TV. She loves playing tug and playing with squeaky toys. Her favorite activity is sniffing.

Kya is on medication for her anxiety and reactivity, and needs to maintain that,  nevertheless, we are looking for a calm, consistent environment for her.  Low to no traffic in the home, no kids, no other pets.  She is very reactive to other dogs - so maybe a nice fenced yard to play in - or a walking area with no other dog walkers or kids.  She does bite when she feels threatened.  Not uncommon for small dogs but we want a home that limits her feeling threatened.  We are looking for someone who has experience with little reactive dogs.  

She is seeing a vet behaviorist and it helps her greatly.  Combined with a more calm environment, she should thrive.  Her owner will discuss all of that and give you the vet's contact.  Ideally this training would be continued.

Kya is crate trained and loves her crate.  She is housetrained and has only had one accident when she was ill.  She knows several commands, Sit, Come, Leave it.  She resource guards but can be redirected with a treat and the command Leave it.  

Age: 3 years  Weight: 25 lbs  Temperament: Best with a calm adult, no pets, no kids Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines,  heartworm  negative  Training: House trained, crate trained, knows several commands.

 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.
