My husband and I started to volunteer with Homeless Pets Foundation last fall. After working a couple adoptions, we noticed a senior dog, Waffle, who did not receive much attention from perspective adopters. Waffle was the victim of a hoarding case and, at 14 years old, had been at the shelter for six months. When others overlooked his kind smile and desire for love, my husband and I saw that he needed us as much as we needed him. We gave him a good bath, bought some new toys and beds for him, and we brought him home. He has become the best of friends with his two-year-old brother, a lab retriever. They play all the time. I believe our young dog brings out the younger dog in Waffle. Twenty-five years ago, I was born… 11 years later Waffle was born; it took us 14 years to unite, but we finally found each other. It took Waffle 14 years to find his forever family and we’re going to give him the best of love to ensure he forgets the trials life brought him. He’s been a joy to my life and every morning when I wake up, I enjoy hugging him each and every time. Our family is finally complete! -Leslie Brown
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.
Big boy Nixon has found (another) great home! [His first adoption didn’t work out because the 3-year old in the house couldn’t get used to a dog 5 times her size!] But the 2nd time seems to be the charm for this kid-loving furball. We have updates from the family that he is well behaved…
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…
Isis (ex-Ambrosia) is doing great. She is a wonderful cat. Very sweet and quite playful. She spends most of her looking out the windows and napping. She’s very animated when chasing her favorite toy (a good old-fashioned string) and is very vocal when she’s ready to play. She’s funny in that she follows me around…
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…
