Mildred came our way via a north GA animal control facility. They were full and animals were at risk of being killed due to lack of space. She. Was. Terrified. She clung to the volunteer who brought her in like her life depended on it. And it kind of did.
After weeks at our shelter a volunteer took Mildred home to foster. Mildred loved our volunteer’s dog and blossomed in the home.
A couple saw her online and noticed she had an eye defect which may require special ca…re. They’d recently said goodbye to their senior Chihuahua Kimi and they and their other dog, Fernando, were missing her. They wanted to show some love to a new dog especially one with special needs who others might overlook.
The Bialas’ met Mildred and took her home for a 2-week trial. Mildred and Fernando took to each other immediately! Once home, Mildred, now called Millie, also made friends with Luna the cat. Her new parents love her and the feeling is mutual. It’s all settled that Millie is home for the holidays and beyond! Thank you so much for adopting her!
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.

Gidget’s gone home! Looks like Dad’s outnumbered by the feminine persuasion in this household. I can think of worse things. 🙂 Enjoy life with your new family, puppy. Thank you for adopting!
Congratulations to Giovanni (left) and his new family. He even gets a look-alike sister, Maggie, as a bonus. May you all be very happy together! Thank you for adopting.
Three more motherless bottle-fed babies are off to carve their spots in other people’s hearts. Crush gets a new furry brother in his home – and check out brother Sammy’s expression! Priceless. This couple were so hoping to get one of the pups that they filled out an application on every one of them! We’re…
Published by Leanne Thomassen · June 14, 2016 · Creme captured my heart the first day I met her. I came to the shelter to photograph her and her puppy, Brulee. They were in the same cage. I took Brulee out first and went outside with him for his photo session. In the meantime, the…
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…
