This family was so great. They fell for Easton at our adoption event two weeks ago. When we explained that Easton needs time to warm up to people, they didn’t walk away but accepted him the way he is. Not every dog is a “just add water” type. Some need extra assurance and time before they feel part of a family.
Easton went home with them as a two-week trial adoption. We got a call last week saying he’s already joined at the hip to mom and brother and is coming around with dad too. Thank you for not rushing him and 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.

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!
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!

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…
Junior came our way when his owner dumped him and his “brother” Buford from their car then sped off. The dogs held no grudges so we tried not to too. Junior believes when one door closes (even if you’ve just been tossed out it) another one opens. He’s right since this happy lady, Lora, opened…
Breese found his forever home! And it comes complete with a Boxer sister too. Congratulations to the sweet fella (on left) and his new family! Thank you for adopting.
This lovely lady spotted Rebel and could see he was no such thing. It was love at first sight for both and she announced her plan to spoil this sweet guy rotten! Good plan! Thank you for adopting!
