We would be lost without all of the activity provided by our Alex and Abbey. They are so much fun and keep us constantly entertained playing with each other. We are delighted we adopted them. Thanks to the folks at Homeless Pets Foundation for bringing us together. -Ron and Carolyn
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.
We love our volunteers and adopters. So when a couple who volunteers with us adopted from us, we were over the moon! Volunteers Jackie and Kenny help us wrangle, exercise and showcase our dogs at mobile adoption events. When you’re hands on with the dogs on a regular basis you get to know them well….
Mother and daughter Kai and Kiki were adopted by this mother and daughter as the family’s first dogs. We know these sweet girls will give them a lifetime of love and fun. Thank you for adopting!
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!
Brittany was looking to adopt a running buddy and while this short-legged Corgi/Jack Russell Terrier mix may not be able to take long strides he’s got drive and energy to spare, not to mention great looks! We wish them many magical miles together! Congrats Sparky! Thank you for adopting Brittany!
Let’s hear it for Lucie everybody! She got a new mom and pop. Lucie was very scared at our shelter and loves to be held close. Her soon to be retired (t minus 6 months) new mom and already retired new dad wanted a small dog they could baby and take on walks. Everybody wins!…
Big sweetheart Otis found his forever home! He went into a trial adoption 2 weeks ago to see how he did around the family’s cats and he’s apparently passed the test! Congratulations to the new family! Thank you for adopting.
