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!

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.

Our sweet girl, Paige (we kept the name you gave her), is a wonderful dog. We adopted her 2010. We are so happy you rescued her! Paige is a great communicator, using many “voices”. She and my husband sing together every morning! She also lets him know as soon as the paper arrives, and won’t…
Stardust came to us as a teeny baby who’d been used as a chew toy by a dog that found him in the yard. We weren’t sure if this little guy was going to make it. Thanks to our bottle feeder, he was able to heal from his wounds and is now a happy and…
