My story

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

Polly is a delightfully adorable dog who weighs just 40 lbs and is the perfect size. She is very friendly and loves to cuddle. When she's inside, she stays close to her human companion. Polly is fond of cats, and she gets along well with the male dog in her foster home. She enjoys playing hard, so her dog mates must be comfortable with that level of activity. Polly would be best suited to a calm, submissive dog who can help her find some balance. Because of her energetic play style, she may not be a good fit for a dog park, but she is otherwise an excellent companion.

Polly is especially fond of teenagers and loves having visitors come to her home. Her behavior can be quite hound-like at times. For instance, she does not like to share her food with other animals and will follow her nose, even if it means jumping over a low fence. Her ideal home would be with a family who wants a loving companion and has a secure privacy fence to keep her safely contained.

Age: 1-2 years  
Weight: 40 lbs  
Temperament:  Great with teenagers and cats; can be selective with dogs (prefers submissive)
Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative    
Training: House trained   
For questions about Polly, please email her caretaker Laura at L77painter@gmail.com  

If interested in meeting Polly and potentially adopting her, please complete our adoption application at www.doggieharmony.org/forms.

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.

Adoption application

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.
