Husbands waiting on their wives at the hair salon will find something to occupy their time. Even adopting a dog! This husband decided to drop by our adoption facility while he waited for his wife. By the time she left her appointment, hours later, he’d already completed the application and renamed Ralphie “Buddy”! Alll he lacked was her blessing, which of course she gave after seeing Buddy.
They even went and got their grandson so he could approve the new furry family member. The vote was unanimous – Buddy was meant to be theirs. Congratulations and thank you for adopting!
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.
Fame was one of our many orphaned kittens that we’ve rescued this year. He came to us tiny and fighting for his life. Our amazing bottle feeding volunteer nursed him back to health and now he has a family to call his own.
Presley and Pax, two of Paisley’s puppies have found homes! Both go to families with children in the household so finding a playmate will never be hard. Thanks so much for adopting.
Piper was born in one of our foster homes, adopted out as an itty bitty kitten, then four years later she was returned because her pet parent was going off to college and the parents didn’t want to keep her. Thank you to this sweet couple for giving Piper her second chance at a forever…
Toni found her match! This family was looking for a friend for their hound mix and Toni caught their eye. The two dogs did great together in their meet-and-greet so Toni is homeless no more! Thank you for adopting!
Just wanted to send in an update about Ethel. We have fallen completely in love with this sweet girl!!! She took to me right away. She was a bit leery of my Husband but a piece of cheese soon helped her trust him more. Our 3 year old LOVES her and has renamed her “Nutkin”….
