Story
Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet. Hi, I'm Oscar! Quiet home. Adult humans. One or two favorite people — that’s my dream. I need a little time to trust and I’m not into being picked up by strangers, but once you’re my person? I’m a cuddle guy and will choose you every time. I prefer calm spaces, no little kids, and people who respect my boundaries over food and toys. I lost my home when my owner lost her apartment — kinda bad luck since trust is hard for me. I’d be an amazing companion for someone retired or living a peaceful life who wants a loyal, deeply bonded best friend. Patient hearts only please — but, I’m worth it.  Age: 5 years Weight:  18 lbs Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, patient adults, no small kids  Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, has basic training Vetting: Neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative __ 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. December 17, 2025, 4:37 pm

Story
Bailey is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle soul and a big love for naps and cuddles. He’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and lots of cozy time. Bailey is house trained and does well with kids and other dogs, though he prefers lounging over playing at this stage of life. Due to recent changes in our family dynamic, we’re unfortunately no longer able to provide the level of care and attention Bailey deserves. He is partially deaf and partially blind, but as of his most recent veterinary visit, he is otherwise in good health. Bailey continues to get around well and functions normally; he simply feels most comfortable staying close to his caretaker. Bailey is loving, calm, and incredibly sweet—a wonderful companion for someone looking to share quiet moments, companionship, and affection. He would thrive in a patient, loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and deeply loved during his golden years.

Story
Meet Mason!Mason is a 2-year-old Lhasa Apso mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of potential. He came from a very bad situation and is very shy and will need a lot of time and patience. He was never socialized with people so they are very scary for him. He requires another young dog in the home to keep him brave. He will not do well with children and needs a calm, patient home where he can continue to blossom.    ##2409831##
