Please help us welcome our new doctor, Dr. Searcy!❤️🐾

“Dear HVH Clients,

I am so excited to be a part of the HVH team and to serve you by providing care for your pets and livestock. I grew up in Carrizo Springs, received my Bachelors from Texas A&M University, and my Doctorate from Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine Class of ‘25.

I have a “funny” farm that keeps me busy outside of work, from chickens to bottle calves and kids, to two Mini Aussies - Mae and La Retta, Hank the Border Collie, and three orange cats. I enjoy spending time in the garden or relaxing at the river.

I can’t wait to provide quality care driven by passion to you and your animals.

Dr. Shai Searcy”

A message from Dr. Tagle❤️

“To the wonderful clients of HVH,

I am writing to share that I will be leaving my position at Hondo Vet on May 31st. My husband and I have made the bittersweet decision to move to San Antonio in order to prioritize involvement in our church. This was not an easy decision to make because of all the amazing relationships I have with my clients and coworkers! It has truly been an honor to care for your pets & livestock and get to know each of you over the last five years. This community accepted me as a brand-new vet out of school and made me feel so welcome in Hondo. I will always cherish the time I have spent caring for your animals and getting to know your families. If you are in the clinic, I would love to say goodbye in person! Thank you again for your trust, kindness and support. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your lives.

Love,
Dr. Tagle”

She will be deeply missed by our entire team and the many clients and patients she has cared for over the years! We are so sad to see her leave, but so happy for her as she steps into this next chapter❤️
