Forever family

Store Dog Sunday! One of the dogs we had the absolute pleasure of seeing this week, was Buster Brown 😍 💚 Buster Brown is a 15 1/2 year-old rescue. His person, Mark, got him at 8 months old from the Humane Society. This sweetheart is great with other dogs & cats and is the apple of his dad’s eye! Our store dogs always remind us of why we do what we do. It would be our wish that every pet up for adoption finds an incredible forever family like Buster Brown has with Mike 💓 Every donation, every purchase, every hour given by our team, every wonderful source of support from our amazing community, and every grant made possible by YOU, helps make a difference for homeless pets hoping to have a second chance like Buster Brown. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and our store! We look forward to seeing all our two legged and four-legged shoppers this week! 🐾 1 N.

Happy National Cat Day! Enjoy this photo of Scully and Wren from earlier this month 😻 We absolutely love cats at Second Life, and are so happy we've gotten to help so many incredible cats find their forever family through our store foster program with @pawsatlanta . 156 and counting, including sweet Wren! If you have a special cat in your life, we would love to see a picture of them in the comments! 💚🐾

Happy Tails! Wren found her forever family and it is with one of our longtime volunteers! We are so happy this loving, playful, cuddly sweetheart gets to be loved and snuggled every day! Thank you to @pawsatlanta for giving her a second chance at life, and to our amazing volunteer for giving her a second chance at love. 💚🐾 #AdoptDontShop #Atlanta #AvondaleEstates #DecaturGA

🐾 Happy Tails: From Georgia Stray to Maine’s Sweetest Sidekick! 💕 When June arrived as a stray at Chattooga County Animal Control Shelter in northwest Georgia, she was heartworm positive and needed some extra love and care. A grant from Second Life was able to help June receive her heartworm treatment ❤️ But her story didn’t end there! June, now named Avalon, made her way to Maine, where she found her forever family at Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland. 🏡 Her new dad, Knate, says they bonded instantly, and Avalon has settled into her new life beautifully! From weekly hikes and watching people pass by her window in historic Portland to cozy evenings watching British comedies (especially Murder, She Wrote!) with her dad, she’s living the life she deserves. She even discovered a new love for the ocean! 🌊🐶 Knate describes Avalon as a gentle, loving absolute gem, and we couldn’t be happier knowing this sweet girl has found her person. 🥹💗 Avalon’s journey is a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when compassionate people, dedicated rescue partners, and community support come together. A big thank you to our community who help make Happy Tails like Avalon's possible! Every purchase, donation, volunteered hour, like, follow, share, and support at Second Life helps write new Happy Tails every day 💚🐾 #MissionMonday #HappyTails #15YearsOfBargainsAndBellyRubs Animal Advocates of Chattooga County

🐾 Plot twist! We typically do Store Dog Sunday, but Wren was itching to get back on our socials in the hopes of finding her forever family, so... Happy Store Cat* Sunday! Wren has been building her confidence and showing off her playful personality here at Second Life, and now she’s hoping someone out there will fall in love with her and take her home! 💚 7 months old 💚 FIV+ but she can live a long, healthy life with other cats. Just ask our managers Carrie or Violeta! 💚 Sweet as can be! Could you be her person? Come meet her at our store this week (we open on Tuesday), then fill out an application with @pawsatlanta 💞 1 N.
