Mama was found along with her 8 puppies.  Our doctors think she is about 1 1/2.  We’ve found homes for them, now she needs some love!  She isn’t too fond of other dogs, but she loves cats.  She tries to kiss our in-house cat, but gets shut down every time.  She would be a loving companion for yours, though!  Help us find her a forever home!

Would you like a UGA grad of your very own? *Update – George has been adopted!

Thursday, April 28th, 2011
George was found by a good samaritan near an elementary school in Athens on Christmas Day of last year.  His left hind leg was broken when he was found.  George was taken to UGA where they began treatment.  UGA called around to different shelters and animal control, but was unable to locate an owner.  George was later transferred to Briarcliff and admitted to BAF.  Doctor Roper then repaired the fracture with pins and George has been doing well ever since.  Let’s find him a loving owner!

Japanese disaster’s unseen victims

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

The recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan have caused so much devastation.  Many people lost their lives, and all of their possessions.  There is another tragedy, however, that is not generating as much attention: the loss of the animals.  The Humane Society of the United States has a team that is helping with those who have lost their furry family members.  If you would like to read more, and help if you can, please read their article:

Fostering can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Briarcliff Animal Foundation will pay for food and any medical expenses, and all you have to do is treat this pet like it is part of your family until we find it a “forever” home. You may have this foster pet anywhere from a week to a couple of months, or even longer in some cases. For more information, please e-mail Lindsay at lhyatt@thebac.net or Richard at Rfischhof@thebac.net.
