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.

This family was so great. They fell for Easton at our adoption event two weeks ago. When we explained that Easton needs time to warm up to people, they didn’t walk away but accepted him the way he is. Not every dog is a “just add water” type. Some need extra assurance and time before…

We were concerned when 9 year old Piper was surrendered into our program. Older pets have a difficult time adjusting to shelter life and often wait a while to be adopted. Fate played a good hand though! At a Petsmart adoption event Piper caught the eye of a woman with three Yorkies and a sympathetic…
Sebastian is cuddly, lovable, friendly, laid back and likes other dogs. He’s not a puppy and he has heartworms — those are the only reasons we can think of for his waiting around since June for a home. His wait is over. This sweet couple saw the good in Sebastian, didn’t mind giving him a…
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!
Sheila, a friend of one of our volunteers, happened to see a picture of adoptable dog Mollie on her friend’s Facebook page. Mollie, a scruffy chihuahua, had just been abandoned and was so scared and in need of someone to love. Sheila already had a chihuahua who was grieving because her other dog had recently…
