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)

The internet’s a wonderful thing. This family browsed adoptable dogs online, honed in on Raven as “the one” and filled out the adoption application – all from the comfort of their living room.

While driving to work one day on Wednesday, October, 2010, a Good Samaritan, Erik, passed an apparently dead dog laying in the median of a busy Atlanta, GA highway. When he took one last look at the poor dog in her rear-view mirror, he saw the dog raise its head. The dog was still alive!…
Dogs are surrendered by their owners for many reasons, most often not because the dog did anything wrong. Kris was surrendered after his owner started having to travel for work and felt guilty leaving Kris in boarding so much. Kris came into our program Monday night and was adopted in 12 hours without even getting…
This couple saw Pancia online and fell in love. They weren’t able to come to our adoption event on Sunday, so they made arrangements to meet her on Monday at our vet office. They decided that they couldn’t leave without her and signed on the dotted line. Happy purrs to Pancia and her new mom…
