Story
Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet. Tails is a laid-back, friendly little guy who seems to adjust well in almost any environment. He gets along with people and other animals and doesn’t require much beyond love, attention, and a calm space. He’d thrive in a home that enjoys a quiet companion with a sweet temperament. He’s easygoing, gentle, and just wants to be part of a loving home. While he doesn't appear to have a prey drive, he does show interest in chasing cats, maybe for entertainment but depending on the cat, this may be stressful. He understands several simple commands like “go to bed,” “go in your cage,” and coming inside when called. He definitely knows what’s being asked—though, he sometimes follows through in his own time. He also does well on a leash and enjoys going for walks. He’s responsive, attentive, and has adapted well to household routines. Age: 7 years Weight: 10 lbs Temperament: Gets along with dogs, older respectful kids Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, knows several commands Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm testing to be scheduled Email for questions:    jennine77@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. 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. April 2, 2025, 4:42 pm

Story
Meet Tempest – The Sweetest Sleepy Princess You'll Ever Meet Tempest is the kind of dog who makes herself at home the moment she walks through the door. Within minutes of arriving at her foster home, she was curled up in a blanket, snoozing like royalty—earning her the nickname “sleepy princess.” She’s all about being close to her humans and has shown nothing but love and trust, even toward new people and men. If you’ve ever dreamed of a dog to curl up with in your reading nook or join you on the couch for a wine-and-binge night, Tempest is your girl. She’s perfectly content as a lap dog and would make a gentle, loving companion for individuals, couples, or even families—she’s shown no signs of aggression or fear and seems like she’d do well with respectful kids and other dogs. Tempest is housebroken, shows no food or toy guarding, and isn’t destructive at all. While she’ll bark at knocks or doorbells, she’s not an excessive barker. She does whine a bit when someone leaves, but she settles quickly. Crating isn’t her thing—she gets stressed and tries to escape—so her ideal home would be with someone who works from home or has a hybrid schedule. She thrives on being near her people and sticks to a reliable potty schedule of 8am, 12pm, 5pm, and 9:30pm. Tempest is the whole package: affectionate, well-mannered, and full of quiet charm. All she’s missing is a cozy home and a human (or two) to adore. Could that be you? Put in an application to meet her today!

Story
Hi! My name is Gidget and I’m a 3-year-old, 5-pound darling looking for my forever family. When my elderly owner passed away, there was no one to take care of me or my two best friends, Dante and Russell. Thankfully, the wonderful folks at Releash Atlanta stepped in to help us! I’m housebroken, great on a leash, and I adore other dogs. Seriously—I’m a social butterfly! I share a fenced yard with my foster siblings and love zooming around with them. I haven’t met a cat yet, but my foster mom thinks I’ll be just fine with one. Fun facts about me: • I’m not a fan of crates—I prefer cuddling with my people or snuggling in a bed with my BFF, Lily. • I love sleeping under the covers or cozied up next to another pup at night. • Car rides? Count me in! I sit like a good girl in my car seat, but I’d sneak onto your lap if you let me! • I’m a tiny dog with a big heart, so please leash walk me and never leave me alone outside—owls and hawks might think I’m a snack! I’m not yappy, but I will alert you if I hear something—I’m tiny but I’ve got your back. Oh, and I’m probably a Chihuahua mix, which might explain why I’m named after the Taco Bell dog! Thank you for your interest in one of our furry kids! Adopting from Releash Atlanta means you will adopt a dog that has been fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and medically cleared!! While we make our best guesses, we often don’t know what breeds our kiddos are made of. We cannot guarantee our guesses will always be right but CAN guarantee they are 100% good dogs! Our adoption fee is $350. **We only adopt to families in/around Atlanta, Ga (about a 1-2 hour perimeter)** If you are interested in any of our dogs, please visit https://releashatlanta.com/adoptable-dogs.php to either view more of their profile or to apply to adopt! If you have questions, please email adopt@releashatlanta.com Take a moment and like our Facebook Page for updates on our dogs and the first look at dogs coming into the program! www.facebook.com/releashatlanta Thank you!!

Story
Rosa Glen has spunk in spades! This frisky lady walks with a pep in her step and a twinkle in her eye. She can often be round rolling around in the grass or zooming around. When walking, Rosa Glen will look back at the leash holding her back as if it’s a personal affront to her independence, as if to say “I just want to go!” When she gets to know you, Rosa Glen is very affectionate. She’ll gently nuzzle your hand and wiggle her way in for cuddles. Come meet Rosa Glen, your sprightly sidekick!
