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. 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.

This couple were so hoping to get one of the pups that they filled out an application on every one of them! We’re…

She’d been kept in poor conditions for so long that when we rescued her, she had no idea how to respond. As a result, some of our volunteers walked…
This couple met Bella Saturday at the Red Hare Brewing Company 5k (an event Red Hare generously donated proceeds from – THANK YOU!!!). They had lots of questions about this little 4-pound bundle of love. Guess who was waiting for us the next day when we arrived with dogs at our adoption event? Yes, Bella…
A year ago we celebrated the adoption of Lily, who’d been waiting a year for someone to want her. Since she was people-focused and calm, she’d just sit there and look into your face and many potential adopters were intimidated (though Lily was usually thinking, “Do you have a cookie?”) Lily turned out to be…
