Laverne & Shirley went to a new foster home a couple of weeks ago with a woman who had lost her cat but wasn’t sure if she was ready to adopt. Turns out she was! It didn’t take her long to fall for these sweet girls. She signed on the dotted line on Sunday. Happy purrs Laverne & Shirley!!
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.
The internet’s a wonderful thing. This family browsed adoptable dogs online, honed in on Raven as “the one” and filled out the adoption application – all from the comfort of their living room. Luckily they liked what they saw when they met her in person too so now Raven gets to share that comfortable home…
3 youngsters are in for a happy evening! Mom (camera shy) and Pop came in earlier today to adopt Zak. Wish we could be there when they meet their new furry brother! Congrats to all!
Someone finally saw Farrah for what she is — a highly adoptable dog stuck in a shelter for no good reason. Thank you so much for giving her a home (and for being repeat adopters from us). We know you will love her as much as we do!
Icy got a warm welcome from this couple who decided to make room for one more in their home! Congratulations to the entire family and thank you for adopting!
HPF alum, Tux (brown tabby), is doing great in his new home and loving his kitty sibling. Thanks for adopting and for the update.
Cheeto’s new mom and dad are smitten. They say that he’s the best cat they ever had, he’s spoiled and gets to eat dinner in bed sometimes, and is working on his fishing skills (for the fishies sake we hope he doesn’t succeed!). It’s a happy ending for us and a happy beginning for them.
