Happy Weekend Everyone!
 
We've recently taken two great dogs under wing -- Buddy, the lovable, playful shep/chow mix pup and Graycie, the gorgeous, sweet lab/weimeraner mix. They are last-minute animal control or 'almost to animal control' saves, BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
 
Sweet Buddy needs permanent foster ASAP. Beth, who found him, has four dogs of her own and some do not welcome other dog company. He has been vaccinated and is heartworm negative; he'll receive his neuter and microchip at Village Vets on Tuesday, May 24. We'd also be willing to turn him over -- fully-vetted -- to any rescue group willing to intake/provide foster so please forward accordingly. More details about Buddy are below.
 
Graycie has a foster home, but they're headed out of town for Memorial weekend and WE NEED TEMP FOSTER -- Fri PM, May 27 through Mon, May 30 Noonish. Long story short, Graycie was rescued three times from near-tragic shelter scenarios. We can certainly board her, but given her past, we hate to confuse her by kenneling her again so soon after rescue. Lord knows she has every right to fear anything with steel bars and concrete at this point. More details about Gracie are below.
 
If you can help with either, please contact me ASAP at ja...@doggieharmony.org. And as always, please help spread the word about these two awesome dogs in need of forever homes via email, Facebook, Twitter and the good old-fashioned print and hang around town method. Bulletin boards are everywhere -- work, neighborhood/community centers, coffee shops, natural food stores, vets offices, doggie daycares, pet supply stores, etc!
 
Thanks for your support!
 
Jamie & Liz

Unlike other strays that have just trekked on by, Buddy planted himself in the yard of some folks with four dogs already. This smart guy figured that odds were good on getting help among people with dogs and through them, he found us. Buddy is a lovable 40 lb shepherd/chow mix that's approximately 1 y/o (give or take) and is very responsive to training -- an eager-to-please kinda boy. He's crate-trained, potty-trained and ready for his forever home. Buddy seems to be good with other dogs and open to making friends with people of all ages. This cute, curious little fluffball will make a great friend to just about anyone. For information, contact ja...@doggieharmony.org.

Beautiful Graycie is bound to bring good karma to whatever home she joins -- she was rescued from animal control for a second time by us, only after the first rescue was shut down for neglecting their animals. Luck has definitely been on her side and now it's landed her a great foster home where she's learning all about how great life in a home with dedicated caregivers can be. Approximately 2 y/o and 50 lbs, Graycie is sharing a home with a 75-lb fur-friend (Shooter) who loves to play and has already shown her the ropes at the local dog park. Graycie is a 'velcro' dog who likes to be near her caregiver, so she's super-easy to leash walk -- she's just an all-around great girl. All she needs is a safe place to call home. If you're interested in more information on Graycie, contact me at ja...@doggieharmony.org.

Can You Spare Some Bones to Honor Super-Rescuer's Beloved Terrier
Chip-In of the Week: The Exhaustive Effort to Save Precious Rooney!
 
 
Nancy Green is an Atlanta dog rescuer and animal-lover to the core. And if you know Nancy Green, then you've surely seen at least one picture of her precious Rooney. Last week, she rushed him to the vet when he seemed too weak to walk; since it’s been an all day/night effort to support his little system with fluids, steroids and blood transfusions. In the very early hours of today, Rooney passed over the rainbow bridge where he was reunited with Nancy’s beloved dog, Geneva.

The final conclusion was that Rooney immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), an unexplained reaction where the body attacks its own blood cells. It comes on quickly and often results in death, even with the very best treatment – and for four days, Nancy ensured Rooney had exactly that. As you can imagine, the vet bills are astronomical. We know that Nancy would give her last dime to help ANY dog – and likely has, particularly in the case of her own loved boy. As a tribute to her little angel, Rooney, we are asking for donations to help pay off his bills.

Rooney is one of Nancy's many rescues – dumped out of the car near her home and welcomed into her pack without question. From that day on, he became her little prince. If you’ve ever seen the quote, “I always thought someone should do something about that, then I realized I was someone," Nancy is that someone for any helpless dog that crosses her path.

Let’s be Nancy’s “someone” this week!
 
You may donate through us, if you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation:
 
* Doggie Harmony, P.O. Box 191362, Atlanta, GA 31119 (Please put Rooney in the check memo!) or use Rooney's ChipIn Page.
Or you may call payment directly into the vet’s office:

* Gwinnett Animal Hospital - (770) 972-0447 (Specify Nancy/Rooney Green Acct)

Rest in peace sweet terrier boy and thank you Nancy – we wish you peace and healing!
 

Don't stop now. Keep spreading Doggie Harmony across metro Atlanta!
