Caution: there’s a big occupational hazard in store for those who work in our kennels – you fall in love over and over and over again. This new employee couldn’t help but fall for sweet and calm Dodger and asked how he could adopt him. We gladly showed him. Congratulations to both of you guys! May you have many happy years together.
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.
Dice rolled on outta here with his proud new pop earlier this week! The fluffly chow mix was only in our program a week or so so most of us never even got to meet him. Wish they all had such short stays.
Wolfgang got picked to be spoiled by this lady and he also got a cat sibling out of the bargain.
Former Homeless Pet Benito (now Dakota) wishes all dogs had it so good. (Thanks to his pop, Nick, for letting us steal this great picture!)
Sweet kitten, Addie, found her new mom!
Foster homes are great for so many reasons, one being that they sometimes end up adopting their foster animal! Congratulations to Swiss Roll, who went home with this kind gal and her husband a while back. Swiss Roll needed to be in a home to recover from a urinary tract infection (he’s all better now)….
This all-female (except dad, of course) family wanted a male pup to balance the scales a bit. I’m sure the feminine attention will be more than welcome to the sweet puppy they picked and named Herschel. Congratulations Herschel!
