Briarcliff Animal Foundation

Paws on Pavement 2012

Mary Phillips — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:09:39 +0000

This year’s fundraiser is going to be a 2-mile run and 1-mile walk at Piedmont Park! It will benefit Briarcliff Animal Foundation and proceeds will go to fund medical care for injured and sick animals who are homeless. Sign up on our firstgiving site and have your friends, family, and coworkers sponsor your run! If you don’t want to race, you can still come out and bring your dog to our event for a great cause, and collect donations. Each participant who raises money will receive a gift bag, a t-shirt, and lunch from Sun in my Belly. There will be lots of fun activities: a raffle, a pet costume contest, kid’s activities, and much more!

We’ll post more details soon, but you can sign up now and start collecting donations! Thank you for your support of these pets who are in such great need.

Do you have room in your heart for Rafiki? *Update – Rafiki has been adopted!

Rafiki is a very sweet little boy! He would be happy to snuggle up with you at home. Do you have room in your heart for him?

Could Toto find love in your home? *Update – Toto has found a home! There’s no place like it.

Toto was found by a police officer near Emory, and was hit by a car. His injuries were minor and he has made a full recovery! He has a very sweet, submissive demeanor. Please come visit him to see if your home would be the right place for him to find love!

Sweet Skylar is still looking for a home *Update – Skylar has found a home!

Mary Phillips — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:31:14 +0000

Skylar is a young (1 or 2-year-old) yellow lab/hound mix that was dropped off at Briarcliff in June of 2011. She is amazingly smart and sweet. She loves her crate, knows come, sit, stay, is working on lay down, and is fully house trained. She is long and lanky, weighing around 65 pounds — and is healthy as can be. She is very lovable, and especially loves to have her belly rubbed! Skylar is a high energy dog outside but knows how to lay down and relax indoors with her family. She also is very sociable with other dogs — the life of the party at the dog park! — although she does sometimes run over little dogs on accident. She needs to learn her size! She has not had much contact with cats or young children yet, but her size and clumsiness may be a little too much for them. Skylar has tested negative for heartworms, is spayed, vaccinated (distemper/parvo, rabies, bordetella), and is currently on heartworm/flea preventative. If you or someone you know needs a big, sweet goofball in their life, Skylar is the girl for you!

Ralphie! *Update – Ralphie has made it home!

Mary Phillips — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:36:17 +0000

We have a new pet up for adoption! Ralphie is a 4-month-old boy, and he is super sweet. He loves cats, too! He doesn’t want a Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle for Christmas – he just wants a new family. Would he fit into yours?

**Please note – a puppy is a lifelong commitment! Make sure you have the time and energy to train and raise him, and that he will fit into your family. 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.

Adoptable pets! *Update – all of these pets have been adopted!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:05:40 +0000

We have 4 adult dogs and many kittens available for adoption! Since our space is limited, we would like to have homes for the dogs before Thanksgiving. If you or anyone you know is looking for a companion, have them call us or stop by! We’ll be happy to tell you all about our pets, and see if one would be right for you.

All our pets can be seen here: http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=GA479&sort=identifier

Let’s get these guys a home for the holidays!

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!

Ron and Hermione want to come home with you! *Update – they’ve been adopted!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:05:45 +0000

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 cats and kittens come spayed/neutered, FELV/FIV tested (and negative, unless noted otherwise), up to date on age-appropriate vaccines (Rabies and FVRCP), fecal tested, dewormed, and treated for any other medical ailments.
