My story

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

Fauna is an amazing girl! She was rescued from the pound and nursed back to health when she had a bad upper respiratory infection. She has so much personality and she is a ball of love. She loves people more than anything and she's looking for a best friend.

She is good with dogs, but she has a semi-alpha personality and likes very slow and proper introductions. She is a bit of a humper but she has played with other dogs. She plays like a Boxer and has an energetic play style. They have to be the right fit. She would be fine as an only dog.

She would love a person that will take her for long walks. She is playful and sweet and happy to meet everyone that passes by. She is incredibly affectionate and loves to snuggle. She will definitely watch movies with you. She is housebroken and crate trained and she'll bark to let you know she needs to go outside to pottie.

She loves a routine and consistency, but mainly she loves people. She is non-destructive when left loose in the house while you’re gone, but we recommend crating her if you're going to be gone for long to reinforce her pottie training. She doesn't love her crate, but she'll go in it. Sometimes, she likes to be bribed with a little treat to go in. She has a kong crate. She likes her toys and enjoys having them in her crate if she is left in one. She'll play quietly with her toys on her bed while you're working also.

She pulls on the leash but walks great with a prong collar.

Age: 4 years old approx Weight: 56lb Temperament: Good with dogs with slow introduction, best with dogs who have her energy level, older respectful kids due to her energy. Training: Crate-trained, house trained. Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative For questions about Fauna, please email: aimiablepetcare@aol.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.
