Our sweet girl, Paige (we kept the name you gave her), is a wonderful dog. We adopted her 2010. We are so happy you rescued her! Paige is a great communicator, using many “voices”. She and my husband sing together every morning! She also lets him know as soon as the paper arrives, and won’t leave him alone until he goes to get it. She is the best clock in the house! She lets me know when it is time for afternoon tea, because that is her time to hang her nose outside the bedroom window and survey her backyard for a while. She is very happy and so are we! -Donna Shapiro
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.

Hooray for Balto! He’s found a home where he’s loved by his mom Kayla, dad Lance and furry sis Ellie (the blond). They report he loves everybody and has enjoyed playing with all his new toys and exploring his new back yard. Congrats and thank you for adopting!
Dice rolled on outta here with his proud new pop earlier this week! The fluffly chow mix was only in our program a week or so so most of us never even got to meet him. Wish they all had such short stays.
We love our volunteers and adopters. So when a couple who volunteers with us adopted from us, we were over the moon! Volunteers Jackie and Kenny help us wrangle, exercise and showcase our dogs at mobile adoption events. When you’re hands on with the dogs on a regular basis you get to know them well….
