What does an HPF volunteer choose when her family tells her to pick out a birthday gift herself? To rescue a dog of course! Mary chose our own Tink (who she actually named too, back when he first entered our program – so maybe she knew then he was destined to be hers?)
Tink was born with a birth defect no one had corrected and recently had to have one of his front legs removed. He’s recovering like a champ – in the comfort of his new home with Mary and family. Congrats to the Stockstills and thank you for volunteering AND adopting!
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.
A family came to Petsmart Saturday hoping to fill the hole left in their lives by their recently departed 13 year old Golden Retriever. Must have been a big hole because they decided to adopt two puppies to fill it! We love when siblings can stay together. This sleepy duo, Pop and Tart, must have…
After recovering from the worst of a bad wreck, this lady decided she needed a friend to keep her motivated with exercise, a companion to keep her company and someone to love.

The family who picked Troy spent a long time picking out which of Toni’s eight babies was the perfect one for them. They’re looking to mend hearts broken from having to say goodbye to their family dog a few months ago. Best wishes to the new family! Thank you for adopting.
Madame Sullivan came to us as a teeny orphan that was in rough shape. Our bottle feeding volunteer nursed her back to health and on Sunday she went home with her new family. Happy purrs sweet girl!
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…
Diesel and his new bro Zachary (aka Sundance) have been simply amazing together. Zachary has brought out a new playful side in Diesel that was refreshing to see after Diesel’s much older sister passed away. We have 4 cats and they even like cuddling up with Zac. Thank you Homeless Pets Foundation SAVING this little…
