This couple did everything right. They fell for Joker online but didn’t let that stop them from considering all the factors of adopting him first. They scheduled a meet and greet to get to know him. They brought their other adopted dog, Ella, to meet Joker to see if Ella also gave him the stamp of approval. They consulted Ella’s trainer to make sure Joker and Ella seemed compatible and a good fit. THEN they completed the application, were approved (of course!) and took home their new big baby!
Joker is now “Frankie” (after Sinatra, ol’ blue eyes) and is right where he should have been all along! Congrats and thank you so much for taking adoption seriously! Best wishes to the whole family!
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.
Mildred came our way via a north GA animal control facility. They were full and animals were at risk of being killed due to lack of space. She. Was. Terrified. She clung to the volunteer who brought her in like her life depended on it. And it kind of did. After weeks at our shelter…
I thought you might like an update. Some things were very clear from the first: he has a wonderful attitude, is very energetic and friendly, and he and my Sasha both decided to be best friends. See attached picture. Thanks for a wonderful dog! ~ Joanna
Thelma has a family now! Her new name is Izzy and here’s a picture of her hanging out with her new furry sibling and chillaxing in her very own plush bed. Her family reports “it’s like she’s always lived here!”. That’s music to our ears. Best wishes Izzy and family!
Here is Newton (former member) and his border collie big brother, Bally. We adopted Newton (or did he adopt us?) three years ago. He’s a real clown and not a day goes by that he doesn’t share his cuteness with us! -Kim Koran
Congratulations to puppy Bonnie, picked to be a furry friend to this couple’s dog. Happy tails! Thanks for adopting.
