Story

&#226&#128&#139 Affectionate. Snuggly. Loyal. Friendly. Handsome. The list of Hudson’s amazing qualities could go on forever — but lately, one trait has really stood out: this boy is exceptionally intelligent. Hudson isn’t just a pretty face — he’s what we like to call doggie Ivy League material. At just 3 years old and 62 pounds, he’s a quick learner who thrives on mental stimulation and truly loves training. New tricks and agility games? Bring it on. Hudson lights up when his brain is engaged, and he’s happiest when he has a purpose. We believe there’s some working breed in his genes, and it shows in his focus, drive, and desire to bond deeply with his people. He’s eager to please and would thrive in a home that understands the needs of smart, active dogs and can keep him challenged with ongoing learning and enrichment. Hudson’s dream home? A family who values his intelligence as much as his cuddles. Someone who’s excited to teach him new tricks and skills. A best friend who appreciates both his active side and his heart of gold. Check out his reel: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1017875406805291 Age: 3 years Weight: 62 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative and on prevention Temperament: Good with other dogs, and older, respectful kids.

Toby

Jack Russell Terrier Corgi

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet Timid Jack Russell/Corgi Seeks Tender-Hearted Mama Toby is an adorable young 20 lb fella with the adventurous spirit and intelligence of a Jack Russell or Corgi. He just lacks their bravery when it comes to people, especially men. Toby can warm up to a gentle and patient woman in just a day, then reward you with forever unconditional love. He’s also more than happy to share his home with dogs, as they offer company, reassurance, and play dates. Could you find a warm place in your heart and home for this special little lad? Toby's ideal home would be with somewhat active (daily walker), adult female(s), an escape-proof set-up, and experience with shy/fearful dogs. Unfortunately, he is too much of a flight risk to go to a high-traffic home or one with children. Age: 2-3 yrs Weight: 20 lbs Temperament: Good with dogs and best suited for adult, female home Training: Housetrained, Crate-trained, Walks Nicely on Leash Vetting: Spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative Email for questions: jamie@doggieharmony.org 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.

Please expect an adoption fee of $350; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.November 14, 2025, 10:52 am

Pretty Princess FOSTER NEEDED TOO!

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young

Decatur, GA

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet. Pretty Princess's story will break your heart. At just two years old, her world had been limited to a tether and a life meant only for breeding. Despite her rough start, she has the sweetest temperament. She loves every person she meets and wants to cuddle! Pretty Princes recently went into a foster home and has proven to be wonderfully low maintenance. She has adjusted to her new routine quickly. She is easy on the leash, well-behaved in the car, and does not resort to chewing or destroying anything when left alone. However, she does have reactivity toward other dogs. We are not surprised by this. She came with multiple wounds suggesting she had been attacked by other dogs. Pretty Princess is also heart worm positive and currently undergoing treatment. Do unicorns exist? We believe they do and we’re searching for one now. Pretty Princess is waiting for that special foster or adopter who is willing to keep her as an only dog. In return, Pretty Princess will shower you with love, gratitude, and cuddles. Age: 2 years Weight: 50 lbs Temperament: Gets along with older considerate kids Training: Housetrained, has some basic training Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm treatment paid for and underway Email for questions: sonali@doggieharmony.org 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.December 17, 2025, 4:59 pm

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.Meet Leena – Your New Walking Buddy & Cuddle Champion Leena’s life could have ended on a busy road, but instead, it began there. Abandoned and terrified, she was nearly hit by the very person who would become her foster mom. Since that day, Leena has shown just how resilient and loving she truly is. Once scared and unsure, Leena has blossomed into a happy, bouncy, affection-loving girl who simply can’t get enough attention. She thrives with people who engage with her — walks, playtime, and quality time are her love language. At just one year old, Leena is already housebroken, crate trained, and eager to please. She’s playful and entertaining (she can happily play on her own!) but also adores cuddle time when the fun is done. Her joyful spirit and sweet personality make her an absolute delight to be around. Leena doesn’t need much — just a family who will give her the attention, activity, and love she’s been waiting for. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. All she’s missing now is her forever family. Could that be you? Age: 1 Weight: 45 lbs Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, older sturdy kids (she's an active big puppy) Training: Housetrained, crate-trained Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative Email for questions: debbiejwharton@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.
