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

Story
Coco and her siblings were 8 weeks old when they became court cases with animal control charges of animal cruelty. They have been in foster for the past 22 months and were just released to be available for adoption. Coco's journey to find her forever home has been one of resilience and love. This beautiful girl had a tragic start, as she and her siblings became court cases with charges of severe abuse and neglect when they were just a few weeks old. In April 2023, Coco and two of her siblings came into a wonderful woman's care as foster babies. Since then, Coco has blossomed in a happy and safe environment, surrounded by her brother and sister. Coco has shown incredible strength and love despite her dicult beginnings. She deserves a forever home where she can continue to thrive and bring joy to her new family.

Story
Dexter is a sweet, goofy older boy who just wants someone to cuddle and play fetch with. He has been known to toss a ball or frisbee to himself in a pinch, but he definitely prefers a human companion for these sort of sporting activities! Dexter also loves walks and is very good on the leash, but he tends to tire out after a mile or two. He is house trained and crate trained, and while he has on occasion managed to Houdini his way out of his crate, he has never caused any actual damage to the crate nor gotten into any mischief after he freed himself. He does very well with other dogs, but would do just fine as an only dog as well - he definitely prefers the company of humans over canines! He is generally a very quiet, low-key dog. That said, we recommend he not be placed in a home with cats (he has not shown any prey-drive tendencies, but he is a little too interested in them for their comfort level). While he is a very gentle boy, he does sometimes get a little jumpy (especially when meeting new people) and can inadvertently head-butt with his big blocky head, so a home with older kids would be ideal. He is very smart and knows basic commands (sit, stay, come, crate) and LOVES treats! Dexter has not shown any resource-guarding tendencies regarding food, treats, or toys but he can be a vocal player with other dogs. Dexter would love a home with a nice fenced yard for playing fetch, where he gets lots of human attention and snuggles. And he's pretty well trained too, check him out here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/DTMYniyrDmJqV4BY/ Dexter gets along well with dogs around his size or bigger and loves to play with toys. Although he hasn't been around cats too often, he has met two and was curious but didn't lunge or chase them. With slow and supervised effort, he would likely get along fine with cats and small dogs. Here's some videos of his dog interactions: https://youtube.com/shorts/s50zqB8XoTs https://youtube.com/shorts/OxRzjbUOVXw Playing in the yard: https://youtu.be/mqxHcfH5Ryc Elect Dexter https://youtube.com/shorts/yOA6KScobN0?feature=share   Dexter loves walks and exploring, loves his pool, so his trainer recommends he goes to an active home. He'd also do great with a veteran or senior who still has some pep in their step. When he's not out and about, Dexter enjoys snuggling up on the couch with his humans while watching Netflix. Give this sweetheart a loving home in his  elder  years, especially this Holiday season. Please foster or adopt Dexter!  Age: 7 years  Weight: 55 lbs  Temperament: good with all adults, and enjoys other dogs his size or larger, should be fine with older respectful kids  and cats Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines,  heratworm  negative  Training: House trained, crate trained, knows sit, down, stay/wait, his name, follow, come, look, and touch.  For questions, please email. ali@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 .  November 24, 2025, 7:11 am

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.
