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.
This gent is hoping to do some leisure travel next year and is planning ahead by hunting for a fun travel partner. He got one in Ichiford! Safe travels fellas! May you have many happy experiences together. Drop us a postcard or two along the way.
Hit by a car and taken to be put to sleep, Orion’s defied the odds several times already in his short life of 14 months! We took him in and nursed him back to health, though too much time had passed to mend his hurt back leg. Nothing extinguishes the light in this little guy’s…
Sweet kitty, Axel, went home with this family a couple of weeks ago for a trial adoption. We just got word tonight that they want to make it official. Happy purrs sweet boy!
Sometimes adoptions don’t work out and we treat those as opportunities to learn more about the animals. Reason found life with a house full of kids too frenetic so came back into our program. This time the timid guy will have just one teen brother to hang out with so should fit right in. Thank…
