Story
Loves kids, good with cats and dogsMisha is not just a beauty, she is also very sweet, submissive, playful, smart, and high-energy. She loves everyone – adults, kids, dogs and cats - and would do best in a home with another dog or some active kids/adults that will keep her engaged. Misha is very playful and can be a vocal communicator, but she is also very respectful of other animals’ boundaries and is nonreactive when checked – she was even attacked by a cat once that did not take kindly to her barking, and Misha’s response was to run away! Misha was found tied to RR tracks in Atlanta in August 2023, emaciated and abandoned. She was taken in by a loving family that included a cat and a toddler, but they were never able to get Misha to a healthy weight. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, which means that her body does not produce an enzyme that she needs to properly digest and metabolize her food.. This is not uncommon in shepherds but it can be very expensive to treat, and unfortunately Misha’s original rescuer could not afford her care so she came to Doggie Harmony in September 2024. After trying out several pancreatic enzyme options (both in her former home and after coming to us), we discovered that the only treatment that seems to work for Misha is Viokase-V, a powdered supplement that must be added to each of her meals. In just the first month of being on this treatment, Misha has gained 12 lbs, but she still has more to gain before she reaches her ideal weight. PLEASE BE ADVISED that the monthly cost for Viokase-V is ~$600, so any potential adopter must be ready to commit to this cost to maintain Misha’s health! She will need to be on this supplement for the rest of her life. Additionally, Misha has been recently diagnosed with atypical Addision’s disease, and needs to be on a low dose of Prednisone daily for life as well. The cost of this treatment is minimal, thankfully. Despite Misha’s high-maintenance medical needs, she is a wonderful dog brimming with potential! She knows basic commands (come, sit, stay) and has the potential to learn much more with a little training. She has good recall, rides well in the car, and is good on the leash as well. She loves toys but does not tear them up, and she has shown the same respect for household items. She especially loves to play fetch, but you may need 2 balls to play with since she often will not drop the one she retrieves until you offer up another one to replace it.  In short, she's a great dog and would make an excellent family pet; she just needs a family that can commit to maintaining her health via this Viokase supplement.   https://youtu.be/593gZO2Gyso Age: 2 years  Weight: 66lbs.  She is at her ideal weight Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines Temperament: great with everyone, loves dogs, great with kids.  Training: House trained but needs frequent bathroom breaks due to her medical conditions.    For questions, please email  ali.mentana@gmail.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.  January 10, 2025, 6:37 pm

Story
Gordy is a sweet, loving companion in need of a home with someone/people who love him. He loves to play with other doggies, stuffed animals and hard chew toys. He is fully house trained, he does not chew on anything besides his toys and he is very low maintenance. He is 7 years old and currently 80 lbs but he’s on a diet with the goal of loosing another 10 lbs. He would do great in a home with laid back environment, preferably no cats as he is hyper-fixated on them. Gordy does great with other dogs, however preferably not a home with a high energy puppy since they tend to jump on him and though he tries, he is unable to keep up with them. He loves to go outside just as much as he loves to take long naps on his comfy bed and heated blanket! He is very kid friendly, he loves back and belly scratches, putting his head out of the window on car rides, beef and chicken jerky dog treats along with lots of love!! Age:7years , 82lbs  Training: Housetrained   Temperament:  Good with dogs and  kids.  Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative.
