Dr. Michael Paul Good Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Dr. Michael Good, a Cobb veterinarian regarded by virtually all who knew him as a selfless servant of animals in need and of the people in his community, died at his home on Friday. He was 67. Friends and family say Dr. Good, a fierce and persistent animal advocate, was full of life and energy and represented all the best characteristics in a veterinarian, teacher, father and friend. Dr. Good was the owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinics with multiple locations in Cobb County. He also founded the nonprofit education and rescue organization, Homeless Pets Foundation, as well as the Underhound Railroad, an initiative that transports adoptable pets to states in the Northeast that have more demand for adoptions, often from kill shelters in the South. Through the two organizations’ work, thousands of animals have been adopted and many saved from euthanasia. He also frequently hosted low-cost vaccination clinics for pets and served as the on-call veterinarian for The Atlanta Braves’ Bark in the Park, a day when dogs are welcome at a ball game. Dr. Good was known to charge little to nothing for services when a pet owner couldn’t afford certain care. If he knew they wanted to truly care for their animals, he made sure that could happen. As a much-loved expert in his field, he made regular appearances on radio station New Country 101.5 to promote adoptions.
