My story

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

Meet Nova! Nova means "new", and it perfectly describes our goofy, happy-go-lucky girl. After being stuck in the shelter for 15 months as part of a cruelty case, Nova is ready to have a new beginning! Nova has won the hearts of many shelter volunteers and staff because of her resilient bubbly personality. She is that dog who is always smiling and wagging her tail. A stranger is just a friend she hasn't met. She is a clown but also a house hippo who can be a total couch-potato. She likes to be in the "pack" either with people or dogs or preferably both. Nova is keenly observant, smart, and learns fast! She is attending doggie school to learn basic commands. She is also crate trained, house trained, and great on leash. Nova is currently in a foster home with three other dogs and is loving life. We want her to be just as happy in her new home. She loves people and dogs of all ages and size. Age: 3.5 year Weight: 65 lbs Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative, and on prevention. Temperament: Good with kids, good with other dogs, no cats or small animals Training: House-trained, crate-trained For questions about Nova, 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.
