We adopted Sylvester just recently, and as you can see from the picture, he is feeling right at home. His new best friend is a toddler who asks about him as soon as she wakes up every morning. They play ball together every day, and he is always happy to help clean up whenever she drops food on the floor. Thanks for taking such good care of Sylvester before he joined our family! -Kristin Poland
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 engaged couple is practicing their “I dos” by starting with “I adopt”. They picked Mocha as their first pup together and boy did they get a lot in a little package! Mocha’s got a ton of character and is really fun. Best wishes to all! Thanks for adopting!
While driving to work one day on Wednesday, October, 2010, a Good Samaritan, Erik, passed an apparently dead dog laying in the median of a busy Atlanta, GA highway. When he took one last look at the poor dog in her rear-view mirror, he saw the dog raise its head. The dog was still alive!…
Used by a breeder until she was considered too old, then tossed out of his vehicle on Highway 400 like trash, Mavis never knew love. Until now. Welcome to the life you always deserved, Mavis! Congratulations on your new home and family. We’re all rooting for you! Thank you so much for adopting Mavis!
From pitiful to pampered in a matter of months. Rosa was rescued from a cruelty case in November. She was skin and bones. Despite everything, she showed she still had trust in humans and would try to crawl in your lap and curl up like a dog a quarter of her size! Craig saw Rosa…
Peaches, our special needs kitty with autoimmune disease, found her angel on Sunday. We love all of our adopters, but the ones who adopt our special needs babies have a special place in our hearts. Happy purrs sweet girl!
Have you ever felt happy and sad at the same time? That’s how our volunteer who bottle-fed all those motherless pups feels this weekend as she places each of the beautiful babies into the arms of their new families. Congrats to Dory and her new people! Hopefully we will get updates, progress reports and pictures…
