Jane came to us in May from a rough rural animal control facility in North Georgia. She was skittish, rail thin and not getting along with other dogs. She found it hard to relax in the shelter and stayed stressed out. A kind person offered to foster Jane until she got adopted so she could wait for a home in a calmer environment.
Well, Jane thrived in her foster home and became the dog we hoped she would be! Her foster mom was so impressed she decided Jane didn’t need to look any further for her new home.
We asked Jane’s new mom for a picture to post and she sent so many good ones we decided to post them all. Jane looks like a different dog, relaxed, filled out and hanging out with other canine friends! Loving homes make a world of difference. Thank you SO much for fostering and adopting Jane!
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.
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…

My husband and I started to volunteer with Homeless Pets Foundation last fall. After working a couple adoptions, we noticed a senior dog, Waffle, who did not receive much attention from perspective adopters. Waffle was the victim of a hoarding case and, at 14 years old, had been at the shelter for six months. When…
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!
