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. 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 $350; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.March 7, 2026, 5:36 pm

Story
Active family dogMeet Hudson! Hudson is affectionate, snuggly, friendly, and loyal—but the trait that really defines him is his intelligence. This boy is what we like to call “doggie Ivy League material.” He’s a quick learner who absolutely thrives when his brain is working. He lights up for training, loves learning new tricks, and would be a fantastic match for someone interested in continued training, agility, or enrichment games. We suspect some working breed in his background, and it shows in his focus, drive, and strong desire to bond with his people. Quick facts: 5 years old, 65 lbs Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative & on prevention House trained & crate trained Good with other dogs Good with older, respectful kids Knows several basic commands Highly trainable and food/engagement motivated Hudson’s ideal home is an active, engaged one—where learning new skills is part of everyday life. He’s not just looking for a home, but a teammate who enjoys working with a smart, eager dog as much as they enjoy couch cuddles. He’s wonderful with people he knows and bonds deeply once he connects. Equal parts brain and heart, Hudson is happiest when he has both mental challenges and close companionship.

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, 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.October 13, 2026, 3:41 pm

He has been great with the kids and the family cat.  He would be fine with other dogs but needs a slow intro to get to know them.  He's good on leash but can get excited when he sees other dogs.  He just needs training in that area.

He goes outside in a fenced in yard but would be fine living in an apartment with occasional walks. While Tru is good with men, women and children, we think he would thrive in a single person's home with no other pets. He just wants to give someone love and cuddles.
