Story
Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.Cookie is a puppy and her surrendering owner decided they weren't ready for puppy training.  She is very affectionate and sweet but she does need someone who has the time and patience for a puppy.   We're saying only older respectful kids because she is so tiny.  She would love a canine companion. Age: 6 months Weight: 6 lbs Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, older respectful kids ( she's so tiny) Training: Housetrained, crate-trained Vetting: Spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative Email for questions:    http://loramyers51@yahoo.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. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.October 23, 2026, 12:49 pm

Story
Say hello to Penny! This happy little girl is a 5-year-old Rat Terrier mix. At 17 pounds, Penny is carrying a little extra weight and would love a family committed to helping her get back to her ideal weight of 10–12 pounds. She would make the perfect walking buddy as you tackle that journey together! One of Penny’s cutest quirks is standing up on her hind legs whenever she’s excited to see you. It’s her special way of letting you know she is happy to see you. It’s also guaranteed to make you smile every time. 🥰 Penny is funny, incredibly sweet, and loves to play. Once she bonds with her person, she’s happiest right by your side. While she sometimes plays with the other dogs in her foster home, she doesn’t need a canine companion to be happy. She’d be perfectly content soaking up all of your love and being the center of attention. She’s both house-trained and crate-trained, making her an easy addition to a new home. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a playful personality and lots of love to give, Penny may just be the perfect match! 💟🐾 ************** Penny is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Please read this bio in its entirety and then fill out our application by clicking the Apply Online button then Skip to bypass the Adopt-a-Pet form and go straight to the Tiny Paws adoption application. It may also be found by clicking on the link to our website. Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area.

Please note that non-local applications will be reviewed only after all local applications have been thoroughly evaluated.

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. March 10, 2026, 2:53 pm
