A year ago we celebrated the adoption of Lily, who’d been waiting a year for someone to want her. Since she was people-focused and calm, she’d just sit there and look into your face and many potential adopters were intimidated (though Lily was usually thinking, “Do you have a cookie?”)
Lily turned out to be one of the calmest and sweetest dogs ever to walk through our doors and the family who adopted her agrees.
Today Lily’s living the good life and was just featured on a website that hopes to change the perception that pit bulls are to be feared. Lily’s a great spokesdog for the breed! We’re proud of her and her adoptive family, the Sextons! 🙂
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.

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…
Brittany was looking to adopt a running buddy and while this short-legged Corgi/Jack Russell Terrier mix may not be able to take long strides he’s got drive and energy to spare, not to mention great looks! We wish them many magical miles together! Congrats Sparky! Thank you for adopting Brittany!
