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

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.
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!…
Starlight can be a nervous Nellie so we wanted to find her a home where she could relax and not have to deal with a lot of stress. Enter Wayne. Wayne’s had several Chihuahuas and knows their “quirks”. His last one died of old age not too long ago and he was looking for a…
Tails are wagging for Olive and her new family! One of their dogs had recently passed away and they were brokenhearted. They eyed Olive at Petsmart as she was being walked by a volunteer. Olive headed their way, leaned gently on her new mom’s leg then sat at her feet. Olive is one of the…
Gidget’s gone home! Looks like Dad’s outnumbered by the feminine persuasion in this household. I can think of worse things. 🙂 Enjoy life with your new family, puppy. Thank you for adopting!
Willow’s new family has her decked out in style! She’s now called Olive and will be doted on by a mom and pop, two teenage sisters and two preteen brothers. That should make for one VERY spoiled former shelter dog! Thank you so much for adopting this perky pup!
