You’re my boy, Blue! *Update – Blue has a home!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 18:54:34 +0000

Meet Blue. He’s is a 4 and 1/2 month old Setter mix. Blue was found on the side of the road by a good samaritan. Blue is a very sweet boy and would be good with kids as well as other pets. Do you need a fun-loving, unique-looking boy? He’s your guy!

All of our dogs come spayed/neutered, vaccinated (distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella), heartworm and fecal tested, treated if heartworm positive, dewormed, treated for any other medical ailments, and kept on heartworm/flea preventative.

Now that their stint as Horcrux-destroyers is over, Ron and Hermione need a home to call their own. They are 3-month-old rescues and are both very sweet, loving and playful. Do you have somewhere for these kids to enjoy some peace after all their hard work?

Our fundraiser at the Loews Atlanta Hotel is coming up next Sunday, July 31. You will be able to pay at the door, and the entrance fee is $25. We’ll have our own Dr. Shannon South speaking about what the Foundation does and how you can help. There will be Silpada Sterling Silver jewelry for sale, and ice cream from Jake’s Ice Cream and Bodielicious Dog Delights. Portions of the proceeds from both will go to our foundation. There will be a few dogs there who we have helped and have found new homes, and they’d love for you to come scratch their ears.

Please help us help homeless pets in our neighborhood, and spread the word!

Char needs a new loving home *Update – Char has been adopted!

Mary Phillips — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 14:53:11 +0000

Char was found with some type of burn all the way down his back. He is 13 weeks old. We’ve repaired his wound, though he will likely have a scar. In spite of his experience, he is extremely sweet and loves people! He would make a wonderful pet.

Maiya would love to be yours! *Update – Maiya found her new home!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:00:40 +0000

Maiya is an approximately 5 month old pit bull and/or boxer mix. She has a very sweet demeanor and is great with people and other animals! She was hit by a car and brought in to us. Dr. Roper performed orthopedic surgery to fix her tibia and amputated part of her tail that was broken. We do need to see her back on June 25th to retake x-rays to ensure her bones are healing properly. Help us find a home for this sweet girl! (Just look at those ears.)

Kittens, kittens everywhere!

Mary Phillips — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:13:43 +0000

We have 9 kittens up for adoption! Their names are Blackie, Ditto, Mouse, Beauty, Violet, Kelly, Stevie, Smalls and Petunia. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now is the time. And remember, kittens like to have a friend, so why not bring two home? That way they’ll have a playmate, and won’t need you to entertain them at all hours of the day. If you have kids home for the summer, they can start learning about caring for a pet with the cutest, most fun kind of pet there is. Bring one (or two!) home today!

Gold Kitty *See article for update!

Mary Phillips — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 13:58:08 +0000

This is Gold Kitty, an FIV+ kitty who needs a good home! He was found living in a cat colony, but wasn’t getting along with the others. He had an abscess on his face from fighting and was malnourished, and he wanted to make friends with the people living nearby. He is recovering well and getting his spirit back. His wound is healing and he has gained some weight. Now he just needs to find a loving home!
FIV is not a death sentence, and cats with the virus can lead long, happy lives. They need a bit of extra attention, but it’s worth it! Here is some information on FIV: http://www.bestfriends.org/theanimals/petcare/cats_fiv.cfm
If you have room in your heart for Gold Kitty, please message us here or give us a call at 404 835 1216.

**Update! Gold Kitty is now named Joseph, and is living at the FurKids rescue organization. He still needs a home! Please contact us or Furkids to inquire about adopting this beautiful boy.

Important notice

Mary Phillips — Mon, 23 May 2011 19:37:44 +0000

Briarcliff Animal Foundation has a dog named Turtle with a torn cruciate ligament. She needs surgery, and we will perform it at no charge, but she needs a home to go to! She is a very sweet girl, but will need more personalized attention and care post-operatively. Turtle does not like other dogs very much, so she needs to be the only one. She loves playing fetch and is very friendly with humans.
If you can welcome her into your home, or know someone else that can, please give us a call at 404 874 6393. She is at the Emory/Morningside location.
