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. 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 couple met Bella Saturday at the Red Hare Brewing Company 5k (an event Red Hare generously donated proceeds from – THANK YOU!!!). They had lots of questions about this little 4-pound bundle of love. Guess who was waiting for us the next day when we arrived with dogs at our adoption event? Yes, Bella…
Brendie (left) adopted a new Mama! Yay! This sweet dog came to us all the way from the St. Simon’s Island area from an overly full shelter. We’re pleased we were able to match her with someone who will love her forever. Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
Big boy Nixon has found (another) great home! [His first adoption didn’t work out because the 3-year old in the house couldn’t get used to a dog 5 times her size!] But the 2nd time seems to be the charm for this kid-loving furball. We have updates from the family that he is well behaved…
I thought you might like an update. Some things were very clear from the first: he has a wonderful attitude, is very energetic and friendly, and he and my Sasha both decided to be best friends. See attached picture. Thanks for a wonderful dog! ~ Joanna
