My story

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

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.

Meet Jackson – A Laid-Back Gentleman Looking for His Soft Landing

Like many of us, Jackson is adjusting to some unexpected life changes. This 8-year-old Heinz 57 mix spent seven wonderful years with his family before discovering that life with a toddler wasn’t quite his speed (honestly… relatable).

Despite the upheaval, Jackson remains a sweet, well-mannered Good Dog™. He’s house-trained, crate-trained (and actually loves his crate), and knows multiple commands and tricks. Bonus for fellow homebodies: Jackson is not a fan of walks, but he is an expert couch companion, backyard zoomie enthusiast, and sunbathing nap professional.

His ideal home would be adults or teens, a fenced yard, and a calm environment. Jackson can live with another dog or even a dog-savvy cat, but he’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success.

Jackson at a Glance:

  • Age: 9 years

  • Weight: ~50 lbs

  • Temperament: Great with adults/teens, dogs with slow intros, okay with dog-savvy cats

  • Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, knows commands and tricks

  • Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative

If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who just wants to relax by your side, Jackson may be your perfect match.

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.doggieharmony.org/forms) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

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 the Northeastern states.

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 at match, 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.
