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 were old enough to leave. Unfortunately little Punkin was returned, because of his long fur. It took us a long time to find him just the right home, but he is a very happy and BIG boy now! Patty was with us for quite a while after her babies found their homes. She needed a home where she would be the only pet, but her lucky day finally came!
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.
Hello! I recently adopted Blue and wanted to just share that she is doing amazing! She was in Homeless Pets and stole my heart. She plays with my other dogs and loves going for walks. Blue loves the dog park and running around like there is no tomorrow. She has chewed up a remote, three…
Someone finally saw Farrah for what she is — a highly adoptable dog stuck in a shelter for no good reason. Thank you so much for giving her a home (and for being repeat adopters from us). We know you will love her as much as we do!
This all-female (except dad, of course) family wanted a male pup to balance the scales a bit. I’m sure the feminine attention will be more than welcome to the sweet puppy they picked and named Herschel. Congratulations Herschel!
Former Homeless Pet Benito (now Dakota) wishes all dogs had it so good. (Thanks to his pop, Nick, for letting us steal this great picture!)
