Mr. Cheeky (formerly Chico) was my first foster dog. I was determined to find the very best home for him and I did. It just happened to be mine! He was at Homeless Pets because his owner fell on hard times and was living out of her car. Now he greets me and my husband at the door with a big smile on his face. Literally! He pulls back his lips and shows his teeth in a wide happy grin. He only does this when we come home from work. It makes for a warm welcome! He’s a constant bright spot in our lives! -Leanne Thomassen (HPF Volunteer)

We rescued Nikko after his owner turned him over with parvovirus. He was named Dosier back in the day. He is doing amazing now, we have had him almost a year. He’s rocking training with the guys at Tenasity and is my new office companion. We LOVE him! -Deidre Vandenbos

Jane came to us in May from a rough rural animal control facility in North Georgia. She was skittish, rail thin and not getting along with other dogs. She found it hard to relax in the shelter and stayed stressed out. A kind person offered to foster Jane until she got adopted so she could…
Good things come to those who wait politely! Zsa Zsa has been such a polite and patient dog and a pleasure to have around as she waited for a forever family. Her wait is over and we’ll miss her but we’re happy for her and this cute group! Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
Luke has left the building! Luke (on right) joins a family with two other canine playmates and doting parents! They looked at a number of dogs at local shelters and rescue groups and Luke won their hearts. Understandable. Congratulations to the new family and thank you for adopting!
