In late December, my husband and I adopted Willem whom we have renamed Wilson, Kittenhead, and L’il Bits. No doubt, over the years he will earn any number of other nicknames. He is shown here in the middle of play time with Bogie, our other fur baby. Wilson was close to 6 months old when he came to live with us and we had forgotten how much fun it was, having a kitten. This little guy is adorable. He arrived well socialized–he doesn’t run from friends who come to visit, sweet natured and highly energetic–he really keeps me busy, devising new games to keep him interested, and we spend lots of time every day, playing. Right now, his favorite game is jumping to catch a feathered toy. From the first day, we never had to separate him from Bogie, who is a really gentle giant who never once had an ugly word to say about (or to) Wilson and they are learning to play together, which delights me. I imagine in another month or so, they’ll be snuggling up together. He has several places around the house to sleep during the day, but needless to say, since day 1, he’s snuggled up right between Andrew and me, at night. Wilson is already much loved and pampered. -Debbie Martin
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.
Congrats to these puppies and their new families! Cowboy and Capricorn (now called Piper) hit the jackpot. Best wishes for a long and happy life! Thank you for adopting.
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!
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…
