A year ago we celebrated the adoption of Lily, who’d been waiting a year for someone to want her. Since she was people-focused and calm, she’d just sit there and look into your face and many potential adopters were intimidated (though Lily was usually thinking, “Do you have a cookie?”)
Lily turned out to be one of the calmest and sweetest dogs ever to walk through our doors and the family who adopted her agrees.
Today Lily’s living the good life and was just featured on a website that hopes to change the perception that pit bulls are to be feared. Lily’s a great spokesdog for the breed! We’re proud of her and her adoptive family, the Sextons! 🙂
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.
Fred is doing great! From the moment he got to my apartment, he seemed super happy and right at home. It was as if he’d been here his whole life! He is always looking for some pets and a cuddle, and just purrs his heart out! He helps out around the house as well –…
Someone finally saw Farrah for what she is — a highly adoptable dog stuck in a shelter for no good reason. Thank you so much for giving her a home (and for being repeat adopters from us). We know you will love her as much as we do!
This couple took a week or so to meet a number of dogs and just didn’t feel that special connection until they met Venice. We think the feeling was mutual and wish you all many happy years together!
Clementine was born into our program. We rescued her mom when she was pregnant and she was one of the six babies. This lovely lady came a few times to see some of our kittens and finally chose Clementine. She will be spoiled by her new parents and will have some grandchildren coming to visit…
