Re: compatibility questions above, I would say possibly ok for sturdy seniors, as he may try to pull toward a 'surprise' fast moving critter who crosses his path. He will do fine with a dog in the home, but doesnt' require one. Apts probably ok, we just don't have a feel yet of whether or not he's as over-interested in small dogs as he is in cats. Apts tend to have a lot of small dogs, so we can keep you posted on what we learn. Here's why you'd want to adopt Goggles: There are so many delightful things to say about Goggles. He charms most every human he meets, including the entire vet's office. He's good in the car, good on the leash, and loves bath time. But Goggles can't decide which he likes better -- snuggles and delicate kisses or performing for his favorite treat. He's willing to do a little of both for his new family. Goggles does well with dogs of his size, but he shows a bit too much interest in small, fast-moving furries - so we recommend a home without cats or small dogs. His weekend foster had a six-year-old child, and they made fast friends. He is currently fostered with another dog, and they get on fine. Goggles just seems to be happy to be among people in a home and will be thrilled to find his forever one. P.S. Goggles knows his pics aren't yet glamour shots. He promises to send more when his meds kick in and his eyes heal. He's sure to get more handsome by the day. We'll continue adding pics/videos of this cutie at this web link: bit.ly/adoptgoggles Age: Approx 7 years Weight: 70 lbs Temperament: Good with dogs and kids Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, HW negative Training: House trained, crate trained 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.

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.
