Skippy was sad and scared at our shelter and even when he met someone at Petsmart he was still too upset to interact much with his potential new mom and her dog. But she felt he would open up once he was in a home (so did we) so she took at chance and signed up for a 2-week trial.
A week into the trial she called to say she was ready to finalize! Skippy had made himself at home and is now renamed Popeye to match his “sister” Olive. Happy tails! Thank you for adopting and for seeing this diamond in the rough.
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.

Jane came to us in May from a rough rural animal control facility in North Georgia. She was skittish, rail thin and not getting along with other dogs. She found it hard to relax in the shelter and stayed stressed out. A kind person offered to foster Jane until she got adopted so she could…
Unwanted litters of the world UNITE! It’s National Puppy Day! Hurray! Power to the puppy. Gadget picked an appropriate week to get adopted, eh? Congratulations baby! Thank you for adopting.
