Saturday’s Dog Olympics were fun, and fruitful for Astro who got a home out of the deal! Thanks for everyone who came out to participate. We had some pooped volunteers and worn-out dog athletes afterward — it was all worthwhile.
Congrats Astro! Thank you for adopting!
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.
Luke has left the building! Luke (on right) joins a family with two other canine playmates and doting parents! They looked at a number of dogs at local shelters and rescue groups and Luke won their hearts. Understandable. Congratulations to the new family and thank you for adopting!
We’re thrilled that this family (mom and daughter were camera shy) wanted siblings Amethyst and Coral to stick together! Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
Little Roz was a little unsure about what to expect at her first adoption event but she need not have worried – she won’t be going to another one! Congrats to her new dad Steve and to Roz!
Calsifer is going to be spoiled rotten by this sweet family. Happy purrs sweet girl!
Our sweet girl, Abby, has found her forever home! Happy purrs!
Clyde was feeling mighty lonely after his sister Bonnie was adopted last week. He perked up at his Petsmart adoption event debut. Then he got downright giddy when this family picked him as their new furry kid! Congratulations to all!
