Doggie Harmony

We know this isn’t the usual kind of ask. It’s not an emergency vet bill or a dramatic rescue. But it is urgent — because Hudson’s future depends on it.

Hudson is a sweet, smart, and resilient pup currently being fostered through Dekalb County Animal Services, a county shelter in crisis. With over 500 dogs in a facility built to house half that number, it’s an overcrowded and stressful place no dog should have to return to.

Thankfully, Hudson is one of the lucky ones. He’s been living in a quiet, structured foster home where he’s thriving — decompressing, building confidence, and showing off all he’s learned through recent training. He’s on track for adoption and has become the kind of dog anyone would be lucky to call family.

But Hudson’s stability is at risk.

His dedicated foster — who has given him 24/7 love and guidance — has a few travel commitments over the coming months, totaling about five weeks (in short stints). During those times, Hudson needs a safe place to stay.

We have the perfect solution: a trusted in-home boarder who is also a trainer, committed to maintaining his progress and even taking him out to socialize. But this care comes at a cost.

To avoid sending Hudson back into the shelter for any amount of time during his foster's travel, we need to raise $900 to cover his boarding during these times.

Doggie Harmony, the small volunteer nonprofit supporting Hudson, is doing everything we can — but we can't fund this alone.

✨ Please help us keep Hudson safe, stable, and moving forward. Every dollar helps prevent regression and keeps this amazing boy on his path to a forever home.

Let’s not undo all the good we’ve done. Let’s keep Hudson out of the shelter — for good.

NINE TIMES! That's how many times 2 year old Mavi has been failed; in and out of the shelter system for a full year. Found as a stray due to negligent owners, passed on to several temporary fosters who didn't have the time for her, back into the shelter system to FINALLY…a breakthrough! A rescue up north committed to take her, so she took the LONG trip from GA to NJ (yet another stressful event for this young girl). A lot of dogs would have broken by now. Mavi has been failed time and again by people. She is continually asked to readjust to new places, people and scary shelters. But Mavi is not broken. She has handled the chaos that has been her life surprisingly well. That said, she is now showing significant signs of severe stress that are detrimental to her health and wellbeing as she sits in yet another shelter facility awaiting her turn at the good life. After professional counsel with multiple shelter staff and trainers it is clear that Mavi cannot stay in a shelter environment any longer. It's not her fault she can no longer function in this environment. She needs a knowledgeable leader to provide for her exercise and conditioning needs; she needs structure and stability. Something she has yet to experience in her life. She has been accepted into a board and train program where Mavi is already understood and will be met where she is, provided the tools and confidence to rehab from the hell that has been her life and blossom again to be the amazing dog we have all seen and know she is. Then, when she is ready, (not when someone else decides to give up on her) she will be an amazing addition to the lucky family who gets to take her home “fur-ever”. Please consider any amount of donation; nothing is too small. The goal amount allows Mavi decompression and rehabilitation with experts in dogs coming out of high-stress situations. After this, we are committed to finding Mavi the perfect home she deserves. She will never step foot in a shelter again! Doggie Harmony is a small but mighty organization run entirely by volunteers - 100% of donations go to our dogs.
