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 Tanaka – 90 pounds of love and wiggles!

Tanaka is the total package: house-trained, dog-friendly, and a champion cuddler who thinks couches and beds were invented just for her. At just 2 years old, she’s still got her playful puppy spirit, which means she’ll thrive best with sturdy, older kids who can keep up with her goofy zoomies and big, happy energy.

She is allllll the things:
- Loves cuddles + belly rubs
- Recently spayed + UTD on all vaccines
- Good with children + friendly with other dogs (unsure about cats)
- Food motivated + treat trained
- Pack instincts
- Emotional Support Animal, great at distinguishing emotions

She’s a smart girl who already knows some basics and just needs a little polish on her leash skills—nothing a few treats and walks with her new family won’t fix. Spayed, fully vetted, and heartworm negative, Tanaka is ready to bring her giant-sized snuggles into her forever home. 

Age: 2 years

Weight: 90 lbs

Temperament: Gets along with sturdy older kids, other dogs

Training: Housetrained, needs leash training but has some basic training

Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative

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. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

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.
