I just wanted to post an update on two adorable kittens (Sonoma and Napa) I adopted in June. They are growing so quickly. They are now known as Morticia and Gomez. They are so much fun. A couple weeks after they came home, I was making iced coffee and accidentally dropped an ice cube on the floor. They heard it and started playing with it across the floor. Now, any time I go near the refrigerator, they are right there, looking up, waiting for me to throw them an ice cube. Fun stuff. -Steve Vaillancourt
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.
You’ve got to love a little girl who says she wants to adopt a dog for her birthday! This little sweetie (pictured with an HPF volunteer) came to Petsmart this weekend with her mom to pick out a dog. They chose Stevie, one of the most laid-back and loving dogs ever! They couldn’t take Stevie…
We love getting updates from our adopters. Finn (black and white) was adopted in March and is getting along great with his new sister. Thank you for adopting and for the update!
This couple took a week or so to meet a number of dogs and just didn’t feel that special connection until they met Venice. We think the feeling was mutual and wish you all many happy years together!
Thelma has a family now! Her new name is Izzy and here’s a picture of her hanging out with her new furry sibling and chillaxing in her very own plush bed. Her family reports “it’s like she’s always lived here!”. That’s music to our ears. Best wishes Izzy and family!
Dusty came our way recently when his owner passed away and had no back up plan for his pets. At age12 and with severe hair loss due to flea infestation we were prepared to have Dusty with us good long while. Happily, fate intervened. This fantastic family saw Dusty at our mobile adoption event Saturday…
