Last week, this adorable girl named Honey came to us with a life-threatening uterine infection. Regrettably, Honey had to be surrendered to us. We made the decision to provide her with the necessary medical care to save her life, considering her sweet nature and the fact that she’s only about a year old. Honey will be available for adoption next week. Can you imagine a more heartwarming way to celebrate the holidays than by welcoming this bundle of joy into your home? Honey is eager to find her loving family.

Today we would like to highlight one of our incredible Veterinary Assistants, Cheyene! Cheyene has been with APC since January of 2024 and has quickly shown she is eager and willing to learn about all aspects of our hospital and veterinary medicine! She is always ready to help wherever she is needed and will often be found jumping in to assist both the tech and client service teams! Cheyene is a valuable team player and always comes to work with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. In her free time Cheyene loves to work out, ride horses, and spend time with friends and family. Cheyene has been riding horses since she was 5 years old and holds a black belt in MMA! We are so impressed with how Cheyene has grown in her short time here, and so excited she is part of our amazing medical team.
