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)
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.
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…
Luna is adapting well to her new home! Lily and Luna are good friends/sisters now. She’s very playful and loves her kitty tower. -Kyle Kerns Lena was a very special cat to the volunteers at Homeless Pets Foundation. She was found as a tiny kitten with part of one of her back legs missing. …
Cassie came to stay with Homeless Pets Foundation in December of 2010 as an owner surrender. She was so despondent not knowing why she had lost her owner after 7 years to end up alone & lonely in her cage. All the volunteers tried to cheer her up but nothing worked, after 6 months we were…
Patty was rescued by one of our volunteers just hours before she was scheduled to be euthanized. She was pregnant and delivered her babies just two days after being rescued. Her foster mom was lucky enough to witness the births. It didn’t take long for Parker, Punkin, Paige, and Piper to get adopted once they…
Passion adopted new parents! We pulled Passion from an animal control facility. She had 8 puppies soon after. She’s been a great mother and the pups are weaned and adoptable now but she won’t have to stick around and watch them leave because, in a rare turn of events, mom got adopted first! Thanks so…
This little guy aced his first adoption event! Ace was snapped up by a family with a pack of spoiled pups: a 15-year old Shih Tzu, a 9-year old Pekingese and a 9-month old Golden Retriever (see pic of them cuddling – they’ll have to make room for 1 more!). Ace has been renamed Bailey…
