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.
Congrats to these puppies and their new families! Cowboy and Capricorn (now called Piper) hit the jackpot. Best wishes for a long and happy life! Thank you for adopting.
We adopted Miss Mae (formerly Bella) from the Homeless Pets Foundation in July 2012. She was only seven weeks old and had been left by herself in a box outside of a Wal-Mart before being turned in to Homeless Pets. Now almost two, Miss Mae is such an important part of our family and we…
We would be lost without all of the activity provided by our Alex and Abbey. They are so much fun and keep us constantly entertained playing with each other. We are delighted we adopted them. Thanks to the folks at Homeless Pets Foundation for bringing us together. -Ron and Carolyn
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…
A year ago we celebrated the adoption of Lily, who’d been waiting a year for someone to want her. 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…
Passion adopted new parents! We pulled Passion from an animal control facility. She had 8 puppies soon after. She’s been a great mother and the pups are weaned and adoptable now but she won’t have to stick around and watch them leave because, in a rare turn of events, mom got adopted first! Thanks so…
