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. Sometimes you can’t stop thinking about them and that’s what happened when Kenny and Jackie met Cledus. Cledus is a big baby who demands lots of attention. Shelter life is …hard for all animals but Jackie and Kenny felt especially bad when they had to send Cledus back to his cage at the end of the day.
Thanks to them, they found room in their home and hearts for one more dog and Cledus is now getting all the babying he wants!
Jackie sent pictures and this update:
“The first time I met Cledus ( now Chip) while volunteering, there was an instant connection. I know it sounds weird, but after spending time with him and training him I felt like he chose me, honestly. After volunteering week after week I just fell in love with him. He’s such a good boy, and learns very quickly!! His favorite things to do are hike trails and be picked up! lol ”
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.
Cher has found her way home! Cher became homeless months ago when her owner passed away. She was so loyal she had to be carried away from her departed owner’s side. Her reward for all that was to be left at animal control. We took her in and now the Sharp family has come to…
This engaged couple is practicing their “I dos” by starting with “I adopt”. They picked Mocha as their first pup together and boy did they get a lot in a little package! Mocha’s got a ton of character and is really fun. Best wishes to all! Thanks for adopting!
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!
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.
Bolt sprung out of here just one day before he was scheduled to be transported to New York as part of a shelter-to-shelter exchange. He’ll live locally now and enjoy being part of an active family. Thank you for adopting!
Mableton was the last of her litter to get a home, which we couldn’t understand. She’s adorable AND sweet. Her wait is over now! She gets a family with four kids and one four-legged brother plus a big fenced yard she can use to run and play for the first time in her short life!…
