This is the way you get a dog for Christmas – bring the whole family to your local shelter on Christmas Eve and ADOPT!
Shoelace went home with this family the day before Christmas for a 2-week trial adoption. We just learned he’s not coming back!
Shoelace got the best gift of all, a new family. Looks like his human brother had already claimed him as a buddy on the ride home from the shelter that night! Congratulations!
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.

Someone’s heart always falls for the runt of the litter and we can see why. Congrats to little Frogger and the Torbert family! Thank you for adopting!
“Chester has such a strong personality he’s like having a little kid! Haha he’s the best dog I could have imagined getting. My room mates and I always talk about how lucky I was for getting such a good dog! Thank you guys so much for the work that you do for these animals! He…
