Ginger's foster mom wrote to tell us what an amazing dog she is. This is her experience with Ginger.
She loves everyone and everything. She loves to curl up and cuddle (she thinks she's a lap dog) and she is the snuggliest pup I have ever met! During the day, she is so relaxed while I do my work, she just curls up next to me or goes to sleep on her bed - just super go with the flow.
She's a major velcro dog, and yet does not seem to struggle with separation anxiety. I have been practicing crate training and leaving her alone for short periods of time throughout the day and she does an amazing job, no barking, crying, or destructive behaviors.
She was a bit difficult on the leash when I first got her, as she had never been on leash, but I started using a gentle leader harness and it has made a WORLD of a difference and she is super easy on the leash now. We are working on "heel" on the leash but with the gentle leader she barely needs the reminder to heel. However, she would only pull out of excitement since she just wants to say hi to every human and dog we walk past!
The world needs to know how amazing of a dog she is! She is just a wonderful, sweet, silly dog who makes the best companion.
Age: 2 years. WT: 51lbs. Temperament: Good with all people and dogs. Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, HW negative Training: House trained, crate trained, knows commands, Sit-stay-shake-down For questions, please email loramyers51@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.

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.
