Lex (pup on right) went home with a family a couple of months ago. Dad was adamant that Lex retain his foster status and not become dog # 2.
Lex first won over Gus, the family’s dog who’s an HPF alumnus. Brother, then mom were next to fall under the spell of Lex’s charms. Dad held out as long as he could but finally caved after Christmas. Don’t feel bad, Dad, seems no one is immune to Lex’s appeal!
Congratulations to Lex and his new family. Thank you so much for keeping this little guy safe and sound by fostering then adopting him!
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.
Precious, timid Honey scored at her very first adoption event! Hurrah for Honey who got a wonderful new family and a furry friend named Oreo to play with too! Honey and Oreo – sounds like a sweet combo! Thank you for adopting!

We would be lost without all of the activity provided by our Alex and Abbey. They are so much fun and keep us constantly entertained playing with each other. We are delighted we adopted them. Thanks to the folks at Homeless Pets Foundation for bringing us together. -Ron and Carolyn
We rescued Nikko after his owner turned him over with parvovirus. He was named Dosier back in the day. He is doing amazing now, we have had him almost a year. He’s rocking training with the guys at Tenasity and is my new office companion. We LOVE him! -Deidre Vandenbos
