Briarcliff Animal Foundation

Sweet Skylar is still looking for 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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Penelope is up for adoption! *Update – Penelope has found a home!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 18:58:06 +0000

Penelope is an energetic Corgi mix, possibly part Jack Russell. She was found and abandoned with us. Penelope is a sweet girl, but very feisty. She would probably do well with older children, but has too much energy for little ones. We recommend she be a single pet, so she can have all your attention for herself! If you have lots of energy and need an outlet, she’s the girl for you!

Update on our fundraising event!

Mary Phillips — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:38:42 +0000

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!

Mary Phillips — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:23:18 +0000
