My personality

My story

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

Rocho is fun, affectionate, and the best cuddler with the softest fur. He is 2 years old and 62 pounds of love! Rocho gets along with every dog he meets. In his previous foster home, he lived wonderfully with SIX young kids. Currently, he resides with two teenagers and loves to be their sidekick. Rocho landed in a crowded shelter due to a neglect situation and after some months found himself on the euthanasia list for space. Luckily, his foster family saw what a sweet boy he was and saved him. Rocho is house trained. He sleeps all night in his crate without any fuss and will even go in on his own when he is tired. He has excellent car manners and loves to go for rides. He is working on not pulling so much on the leash when he sees another dog. He just gets too excited! Rocho really wants to please his humans and loves to hear praises and get rubs. He is also very food motivated which makes training easy. He knows sit, stay, down, and leave it. Rocho loves to fetch and loves toys. He will often choose a toy to take on a walk with him and keeps up with it. He will also play by himself with a toy and stay entertained quite a while and at the same time his antics can keep you entertained! He precious laying on his back and holding a toy in the air above his own head or tossing a ball for himself. Rocho is a silly boy who would love to find his forever family. In return, he will give you endless wags and cuddles. Age: 2 years Weight: 62 lb Temperament: good with dogs, good with kids, not good with cats Training: Housetrained, crate trained . Vetting: neuter ed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative For questions, please email: 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.

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.
