Dogs are surrendered by their owners for many reasons, most often not because the dog did anything wrong. Kris was surrendered after his owner started having to travel for work and felt guilty leaving Kris in boarding so much.
Kris came into our program Monday night and was adopted in 12 hours without even getting listed online. Yowza! Wish they all were in such demand. Congrats to him and his new 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.
This family saw Clara’s picture after we rescued her and knew that she was meant to be a part of their family. They patiently waited for her babies to be born and weaned and for Clara to be spay. Now that Clara is healed and her babies no longer need her, she is heading out…
Little Iris came to us on Friday and was adopted on Sunday. We wish all of our babies found homes that fast! Happy purrs sweet baby!
Congratulations to Galaga and Megaman, the first two of Allie’s 12 babies to get adopted! Enjoy your new lives sweeties! Thank you to these families for adopting!
A very excited woman came in to meet Hamilton and Yale. She had intended on only adopting one kitten, but once she found out how much they loved each other, she couldn’t leave one behind. She couldn’t wait to get them home to spoil them with love and toys, but she stopped for a moment…
Good things come to those who wait politely! Zsa Zsa has been such a polite and patient dog and a pleasure to have around as she waited for a forever family. Her wait is over and we’ll miss her but we’re happy for her and this cute group! Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
Skye and Rocky, two “Paw Patrol” puppies have met their match! Happy tails. Thank you for adopting!
