Story
Hi, I’m Dante! I’m a fun-loving, playful guy who’s always ready for a good time. I love romping around, playing with toys, and hanging out with other dogs—I’m very dog-friendly and enjoy having canine buddies to run and chill with.I’m also a smart cookie! I know lots of commands and really enjoy learning and working with my people. Training is one of my strengths, and I’m eager to keep showing off what I know (especially if treats are involved). I am also house broken.I’ll be honest with you: I can be a little unsure around new people at first. I have some “stranger danger,” but I’m actively working on it and making great progress. With slow introductions, patience, and positive reinforcement, I warm up and show my sweet, loyal side.If you’re looking for a playful, intelligent dog who’s great with other dogs and willing to keep growing with a loving human, I might just be your guy. I can’t wait to meet you and start our next adventure together!I also qualify for the Welcome Trial program, which means you can take me home for up to 14 days to make sure I’m the perfect fit before making things official.

Story
Hi, I am looking for a home for Mizzie. She has been with me for 4 years now, and has been the best addition to my home here in Georgia the entire time. She’s full of love and energy. She’s very clever and loves to play. She is house trained and also trained on and off leash when walking outside. Mizzie is probably the smartest dog I ever encountered. She understands everything said to her, it’s amazing. I wish I could bring her where I am moving to but unfortunately I cannot have pets there and I am running out of time finding her a home. I am not charging because this isn’t money grab. I just want my little baby to be placed somewhere decent please.

Story
Elvis (dog version!) is a very special, loving dog but I am leaving for military training at the end of March and will unfortunately need to find him a new home. Personality (good with children, other dogs, and cats; leash/crate trained; knows commands; housebroken; separation anxiety, etc.). Very gentle and loving. Good with people and loves kids. I've had a smaller dog he also gets along and plays with. Good with other dogs too and every once in a while he could bark at another dog but no aggression at all. Knows basic commands (sit, come back etc) and leash and bathroom trained (I have a backyard and a doggy door). Does fine on his own during the day but he is curious and being 70 pounds he can climb a smaller fence and want to explore. He wasn't really put in a crate since he's bigger and was potty trained.

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.November 14, 2025, 10:52 am

Story
Have you heard the news??? Zara is available to be adopted . . . with NO ADOPTION FEE!! A huge thanks goes to Animal Legal Defense Fund for this! Because of ALDF, actress Kate Mara is sponsoring the adoption fee for some of our amazing dogs! Wow - can you believe it?? You can adopt one of our great dogs, and spend the adoption fee on new toys, soft beds, and yummy treats instead! ara, named Blyss at the shelter, ended up there when someone called and said there was a dog on their front porch. We don't know if she was lost, or someone had dumped her, but no one came to get her, until we did. This girl, who we think is a mix of rat terrier, min pin and a little bit of pittie, is a petite girl. She weighed 29 pounds when we pulled her from the shelter, and was a bit underweight, with some filling out to do. She is about 2 years old now, and is at her perfect weight, weighing about 38 pounds. She has a slender little body with long legs, a beautiful red brindle coat, and ears for days! If you have wanted a dog to do dog sports with - like agility - this sweet athletic girl may be a great fit for you! Like all of our dogs, Zara is in Atlanta. She can be adopted at any time, and will be available to go to her new home when she graduates from the program in mid-December. November 1, 2024, 6:01 pm

Story
Reintroducing Boo-Boo: Your loyal sidekick! Age: 6 Months | Weight: 23 lbs of pure love Status: Fully vaccinated and ready for adventure! Puppies grow and change so fast, we thought it was time to share some updated information on sweet Boo-Boo. If you’re looking for a medium-sized best friend with a large-sized heart, Boo-Boo is your guy! Now 6-months old and a sturdy 23 lbs., Boo-Boo has officially graduated from the baby phase and is ready to take on the world. While his name might be Boo-Boo, he’s anything but a mistake! He’s a smart, affectionate rat terrier mix who embodies the best of the breed: he’s clever, loyal, and incredibly sweet. Why Boo-Boo is the best: Social butterfly: Boo-Boo is a friend to all! He’s great with other dogs once he’s had been properly introduced. He’d love a canine sibling to wrestle with, but he’s also happy being your one-and-only. Housetraining hero: As long as he has a human who can take him out for frequent "business trips," he holds it well indoors at his foster home most of the time, though he's still learning. Versatile living: Now that his puppy shots are complete, he’s ready to explore! While he’d think a fenced-in yard is a total dream for zoomies, sunbathing, and exploration, he would be ok without one as long as he gets plenty of time. Food motivated=trainable: This puppy (like most puppies) loves treats, so he should be easy to train for tricks and manners. The ultimate shadow: True to his rattie roots, Boo-Boo wants to be where the action is. Whether you’re folding laundry or watching a movie, expect a warm chin on your knee and a wagging tail by your side. Boo-Boo is looking for a family to continue his training and give him all the head scratches he can handle. Is your home the one he’s been waiting for? Find more photos at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/booboo If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.February 10, 2026, 6:41 pm
