Story
Mick is a 2-year-old, 65 lb sweetheart with a gentle soul who just needs the right person to help him feel safe. He was found as a stray in Bartow County, Georgia, landed on the euthanasia list, and was thankfully saved and transferred to Doggie Harmony. They are now partnering with Eleventh Hour Rescue to help Mick find a loving home up here. Mick is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. On leash, he can freeze up and feel unsure, so he would do best in a home with a fenced yard where he can comfortably get his potty breaks and exercise. With patience, consistency, and someone willing to work with him, Mick has every potential to gain confidence and learn to walk happily on leash. Despite this one challenge, Mick is otherwise a wonderful, well-adjusted dog. He absolutely loves everyone he meets and is friendly with other dogs and even cats. He’s a kind, affectionate boy who has already been through so much and truly deserves a calm, understanding home where he can continue to blossom.

Story
At just 3 years old and a solid, huggable 61 lbs, Jolly has already lived quite a story. He was once the nighttime companion of a homeless individual, and that early bond with people shines through in everything he does. Jolly is a true companion dog — loyal, sweet, and happiest when he’s by your side. This gentle boy gets along beautifully with other dogs, does just fine with cats, and is an all-around lovebug with adults. Because of his size, he’d do best with older, sturdy kids who understand how to share space with a big softie. Jolly is the total package. Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, a snuggle buddy, or a loyal shadow to follow you from room to room, Jolly is ready to step into that role with a big tail wag and an even bigger heart.

Story
Champ is a 3 year old mixed breed with a super fun personality! This 62 lb mush is full of love. Champ loves playing fetch! Champ likes playing with stuffed toys but really lit up when a tennis ball gets pulled out. It was time to get serious and fetch is Champ's passion. His joy was evident, and we played round after round. Champ also knows how to sit for treats, but he'd rather sit for another throw in fetch and was good about bringing the ball back each time. His former owner said Champ lived as an indoor dog and is house trained and crate trained. He's also playful with kids of all ages. However, Champ really loves to play with toys but  can have poor aim,  so it’s probably best he goes to a home with older kids if any that can handle a rough player. Champ does best with dogs his size or larger! Champ is a great dog who's ready to be someone's best buddy! He is microchipped neutered and up to date on vaccines. Apply for Champ at EHRDOGS.ORG (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Story
Meet Wilbert, a handsome, short, and stocky Bulldog mix pulled into our rescue from a local inner-city shelter. This charming fellow is 8 years old and weighs a solid 75 pounds, with a personality that’s as big as he is. Wilbert gets along well with other dogs and is a friendly pup.  He’s a smart cookie who knows the sit command and comes when called. He’s also crate trained and walks nicely on a leash. Despite his size, Wilbert has a surprising amount of energy and an almost comical obsession with tennis balls! He’ll chase them down tirelessly and might just try to carry around as many as he can at once, all while showing off his big grin. Wilbert does best in an adult-only home where his family understands that he gets spooked if people get too close to his face, so he needs an owner who respects this boundary. If you’re ready to welcome Wilbert Newark into your heart and home, head over to www.ehrdogs.org to fill out an adoption application!

Story
Meet Mick! Mick (formerly McGee) was found as a stray in rural north Georgia and saved from euthanasia at the last moment thanks to dedicated volunteers. Now in a loving foster home with Doggie Harmony, Mick is thriving and showing just how sweet he truly is. Mick loves everyone he meets and has the gentlest, most affectionate personality. He enjoys playing with other dogs but is happiest staying close to his people — preferably within kissing distance! He is a velcro dog without separation anxiety and has shown no resource guarding with food, toys, or people. He is housebroken, crate trained, well-mannered when left alone, and eager to please. Mick is learning basic commands and has been very respectful of the resident cat in his foster home. Mick is still a little unsure about hardwood floors (walking backwards seems less scary - see video!) but he is doing very well with his leash training! He does not pull, but will sometimes put on the brakes or zig and zag a bit. This is easy to correct with a pinch collar or training leash, and he is a fast learner so he is sure to master the Art of the Walk very soon! Mick is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and ready for his forever home. Email for questions: ali@doggieharmony.org To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.doggieharmony.org/forms) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. Adoption fee: $300January 18, 2026, 12:24 pm
