Occasionally we rescue a dog who struggles to be adoption-ready. Their bad prior life rendered them tricky to re-home.
Harley was part of a neglect/hoarding case. She’d been kept in poor conditions for so long that when we rescued her, she had no idea how to respond. As a result, some of our volunteers walked away from her with bandaided fingers and hurt egos.
Then one of our long-time volunteers, Margie, offered to take Harley home to work with her. Margie was NOT looking for a third dog (her other two are HPF alumni). It was STRICTLY for fostering until Harley could learn to accept love.
Good news! Harley has learned to accept and give love. The catch is, she only wants that give and take with Margie and Margie’s dogs.
So…..thank you Margie for making room in your heart and home for one more dog. Harley is so happy with you and Taco and Samantha! Thank you for adopting and saving this deserving girl!
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.
Some of you may remember Cashew, the pregnant pocket pittie (small pit bull) we rescued who had 5 adorable babies. Well, we slipped and didn’t get a photo when she was adopted so when she was brought in for a check-up, we made sure to take a few. She is SO happy with her new…
After recovering from the worst of a bad wreck, this lady decided she needed a friend to keep her motivated with exercise, a companion to keep her company and someone to love. Bama is happy she picked her! (And she’ll get more used to being picked up and bear-hugged!). Thank you for adopting, not shopping!
Congratulations to Giovanni (left) and his new family. He even gets a look-alike sister, Maggie, as a bonus. May you all be very happy together! Thank you for adopting.
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…
Little Lexi found a family to fit into. She gets a new dad and sister plus a furry brother named Sebastian. She claimed a spot in her sis’s lap immediately and grabbed onto her arm as if to say – “I’m going wherever you are!” Congratulations to all!
Published by Leanne Thomassen · June 14, 2016 · Creme captured my heart the first day I met her. I came to the shelter to photograph her and her puppy, Brulee. They were in the same cage. I took Brulee out first and went outside with him for his photo session. In the meantime, the…
