My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🚨 Professional Fetch Coach Seeking Teammate! 🚨

Meet Dexter, the ultimate MVP of fetch, snuggles, and all things goofy. This lovable older boy is a master of self-entertainment—he’ll even toss a frisbee to himself if no one’s around! But let’s be real, he’d much rather have a human partner for his sporting activities. 🏆

Dexter is the perfect mix of playful and chill. He loves walks (though he might call it quits after a couple of miles), is fantastic on a leash, and is both house-trained and crate-trained.

While he enjoys the company of other dogs, Dexter’s heart belongs to his humans. He’s gentle, affectionate, and always up for a cuddle. He’s also super smart, knows basic commands, and is highly treat-motivated (seriously, have snacks ready!). 🐶🍖

Dexter’s ideal home? A fenced yard for fetch, lots of belly rubs, and a family who loves a big-headed, big-hearted companion. He’d thrive with older kids (because he sometimes forgets how big his noggin is) and would do best in a cat-free home—or at least with slow introductions.

🏡 Adopt Dexter today—he’s waiting to be your #1 fan!

Additional adoption info

Those interested in dogs on our site are asked submit an application that we share with this dog's current caretaker. The caretaker reviews it to see if the pup would make a good fit for your home and if so, they will follow up with a phone interview. If you both agree it's a match, you would sign a contract, pay a fee and receive your dog within 2 weeks.

If both caretaker and applicant agree that the dog is a great fit, a contract is signed between the parties and the adoption fee is $400.00-$450.00 and is collected via PayPal. This adoption fee covers the cost of transport and also ensures the dog has all of it's basic vetting to include spay/neuter, shots, etc.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs travel from Atlanta, Georgia directly to their adoptive homes in the northeast. Our transporter drives up the coast from DC, all the way to Kittery, Maine.

While you can't meet our dogs prior to adoption, we will speak with you extensively, provide videos, share trainer evaluations and offer proof of vetting to ensure our dogs are a match for your home. Those that aren't, would be returned to us here in Atlanta at no cost to the adopter.

We also have partners in the Northeast who can help us facilitate adoptions and/or returns.

More about this rescue

Doggie Harmony was founded in Atlanta in 2009 by Liz Mansour and Jamie Sprague, a couple of neighbors seeking to help stray dogs that turned up locally.

From there, Doggie Harmony expanded to other neighborhoods and other people who found dogs and eventually, it was realized that nearly every neighborhood in Georgia found strays, most of which ended up in our grossly over-populated county shelters. With an estimated 300,000 unwanted pets destroyed yearly in Georgia shelters, we realized we had to find more homes to put them in.

In 2012, we began building partnerships with northeastern rescues and developed a consistent process for matching our dogs to great people and delivering those dogs to their homes up there. To become even more self-sufficent and less burdensome on our northeastern friends, we decided to launch Doggie Harmony Northeast.
