Story
Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.URGENT: Penelope, Sweet 25-lb Girl Who Needs Someone Patient Sit on the floor, wait quietly, and Penelope will come to you, then melt into your lap. Once this 3-year-old feels safe, she’s sweet, playful, and endlessly affectionate. She wants to be the center of her person’s world. About 3 years old, 25 lbs, spayed female Reliably uses pee pads Quiet and non-destructive when left alone Good on leash Spayed, Vaccinated, heartworm negative Watch Video >>> Penelope's True Personality Watch Video >>> Penelope's Love for Apples & Bananas Watch Video >>> Penelope on a Car Ride What she needs: Penelope is an anxious girl, and she takes daily anxiety medication. If someone approaches or tries to catch her too quickly, she may bark or nip out of fear. Let her come to you, and she will. She does not do well crated (she’ll cry for hours) but doesn’t need to be. She does best with someone home much of the day who can give her plenty of attention. Other pets: She’s best as the only dog, or with a carefully matched, easygoing companion. She does well with confident cats but may chase a fearful one. Best fit: a patient adult or retiree, a calm and consistent home, older respectful kids at most. Penelope has been through several homes, and her current foster isn’t a long-term option. She needs her forever person soon. Questions: asimon100@outlook.com Apply: https://doggieharmony.org/forms Doggie Harmony is a pet placement and matchmaking service that works with community members who are already housing a pet. Interested adopters are asked to apply at https://doggieharmony.org/forms and allow a home visit, so we can make sure each pet is a great match. Please ask the pet’s current caretaker directly about their return process, and request an adoption contract. While we can’t offer immediate intake for dogs that need to be returned, we’re always happy to help a family rehome a pet while they continue to care for it. Every match keeps a pet out of Georgia’s overcrowded shelters, where more than 30,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each year. Last Updated: 11/3/26November 3, 2026, 4:47 pm

Meet Penelope – Your Energetic Adventure Buddy! Age: 3 years oldBreed: Rat Terrier MixWeight: 24 lbsSpayed, Vaccinated, and Microchipped Penelope is a spunky, high-energy girl who’s always ready to go! At just 24 pounds, she’s the perfect compact companion for an active lifestyle. Are you a runner? Love hikes? Into agility? Sally just might be your perfect match—she would make an excellent agility dog with her smarts, speed, and enthusiasm. She plays great with other dogs—especially the ones who can match her playful spirit. Once she’s had her zoomies and playtime, Penelope settles down and shows her calmer, snuggly side. Penelope will thrive in a home where she gets daily exercise and mental stimulation. Due to her energy level and play style, she’s looking for a home without young children. She’s the kind of pup who’s always up for an adventure, then happy to relax by your side. Interested in adopting Penelope?

Story
Who wants the absolute best family dog! If so, then Red is the man for you. He may be your basic Georgia brown dog, but he has the sweetest temperament around. We rescued Red from our local animal control after being there for OVER A MONTH! We cannot understand why no one snatched him up and took him home. He is only 20 so the perfect size, not small and fragile and not too big! Red is about 2-3 years old and has been fully vetted neutered, given DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, and given monthly preventions. He has tested great with the dogs here at the rescue, kids, and cats. He really is a good boy and is very ready to be in his forever home. If you are interested in meeting Red and possibly adopting, please fill out our adoption application here https://forms.gle/kgS1Kx2u9HPw1wXb9 Red is located in our GA Chapter in Newborn GA you can text at 770-eight eight five- 5388 also for more info

Please read the animal bios completely before requesting additional information as we do our best to answer the most frequently ask questions in these bios. In order to adopt one of our animals an application must be submitted and approved. You can find these applications by going to http://humanemorgan.org/index.php?page=adoption ABOUT ADOPTING FROM THE HSMC: The shelter address is 1170 Fairground Rd. Madison, GA 30650. For more information on any of our pets, please feel free to email us at INFO@HUMANEMORGAN.ORG give us a call at 706-343-9977. All dogs are heartworm negative, current on vaccines/dewormings, and microchipped. All cats are current on vaccines/deworming, and microchipped. We are open 12pm-5pm Sunday-Friday and 10 am-5pm on Saturday, we schedule our last adoption at 4pm everyday to allow our staff enough time to feed and walk dogs. We are an animal shelter and therefore are not able to individually potty train our residents. Many adult dogs do arrive “house broken” however due to animal behavior any change in environment will make an emotional impact on the animals and therefore initiate unwanted behaviors during the acclamation period. Please keep this in mind. Puppies do not have the biological maturity to maintain absolute bladder or bowel control and will require a certain degree of potty training and house breaking. Please consider the time and commitment it takes to provide the necessary building blocks for these special babies, prior to submitting your application. If you have any questions please email us at info@humanemorgan.org and provide name of the animal you are interested in, in the subject line. Thank you, HSMC Staff ADOPTION FEES Adoption Fees may change without notice.
