Butch was surrendered at Cobb County Animal Control when his owner moved. Already packed with dogs, many of which were pit bulls, they asked us to pull Butch into our program. We did and Butch attended adoption events and impressed everyone with his good looks and behavior but nobody applied for him.
Armando, visiting from South Carolina, saw Butch and they clicked. Armando stayed at Petsmart hours that day and promised to come back. Butch cried when he left. Every weekend he could, Armando came and sat with Butch at adoption events showing folks how Butch knew obedience commands and how well he walked on a leash. Still, no one wanted to take a chance on a 70 lb., 4 year old pit bull.
Armando decided to foster Butch until he got adopted since Butch cried every time Armando had to go home. You can see where this story’s going, right?
Congratulations to Butch for finding such an amazing new dad! We asked for pictures and got lots of cute ones. Apparently Dad and Butch are living it up and making up for lost time. We love our adopters! Thank you so much for taking this dog into your heart and home!
Dr. Phil Good, owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinic, received his Bachelor of Science with highest honors in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2006. Phil finally came to his senses, realizing he’d much rather work with animals than in a chemical plant. Dr. Good obtained his doctorate in veterinary medicine from UGA in 2011.
Here is Newton (former member) and his border collie big brother, Bally. We adopted Newton (or did he adopt us?) three years ago. He’s a real clown and not a day goes by that he doesn’t share his cuteness with us! -Kim Koran
From anxious to eager, these pre-and post-adoption shots show what a difference a home and love make. Thank you for adopting Athens (now called Lilly) and for being a repeat adopter with us!
From pitiful to pampered in a matter of months. Rosa was rescued from a cruelty case in November. She was skin and bones. Despite everything, she showed she still had trust in humans and would try to crawl in your lap and curl up like a dog a quarter of her size! Craig saw Rosa…
I thought you might like an update. Some things were very clear from the first: he has a wonderful attitude, is very energetic and friendly, and he and my Sasha both decided to be best friends. See attached picture. Thanks for a wonderful dog! ~ Joanna
Our sweet girl, Paige (we kept the name you gave her), is a wonderful dog. We adopted her 2010. We are so happy you rescued her! Paige is a great communicator, using many “voices”. She and my husband sing together every morning! She also lets him know as soon as the paper arrives, and won’t…
We rescued Camille in February from an animal control facility. She’d just had puppies. We saw the worker there grab a metal rabies pole and drag Camille out by the neck. Ugh! We were so sad to see this sweet little mama treated that way. Camille sat on our volunteer’s lap, traumatized on the way…
