Future Veterinarians in the Making!

One of the things we love most about summer at Alford Avenue Veterinary Hospital is the opportunity to work alongside students who are pursuing careers in veterinary medicine. These three ladies have been a wonderful addition to our team, bringing enthusiasm, compassion, and a willingness to learn every day they walk through our doors.

Emilee and Kim will be with us for a few more weeks before heading back to school to continue their journey toward careers in the veterinary field. Mollie has finished her summer with us and will soon be returning to school as well after spending some much-needed time with family.

We are incredibly grateful for the hard work, positive attitudes, and dedication each of them has shown while helping care for our patients. They have continued to gain more hands-on experience while here and we're proud to have played a small part in their journey.

Please join us in wishing Emilee, Kim, and Mollie continued success as they pursue their dreams!

Today we'd like to recognize one of our amazing staff members Morgan.

We are incredibly proud to congratulate him on earning his Associate Degree in Nursing from Jefferson State Community College and becoming a Registered Nurse (RN)!

For years, he has been an invaluable part of our clinic family. Whether it was helping care for our boarding pets, assisting with appointments, or being the muscle behind many projects, he has always been dependable, hardworking, and willing to lend a hand with a positive attitude. His dedication and work ethic have never gone unnoticed.

His next chapter will hopefully take him to UAB, where he plans to work as an ICU nurse while continuing his education and pursuing even greater goals in the nursing profession.

While we'll certainly miss having him around the clinic as much, we couldn't be happier to see him achieve this milestone and follow his passion for helping others. Thank you for everything you've done for our team and our patients over the years. We know you will make an outstanding nurse and touch countless lives throughout your career.

Please join us in congratulating him on this incredible achievement!

Recently, we had the pleasure of having Emory Carver complete some landscaping work for us. Not only was the finished product beautiful, but the care, attention to detail, and pride he took in his work were evident every step of the way.

Emory is currently studying Landscape Horticulture at Auburn University and is home for the summer putting his education and passion into practice.

What a tremendous difference he made for our clinic, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We are grateful for his hard work and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping services this summer. You can reach him at 205-913-9636.

Supporting young people who are pursuing their goals and perfecting their craft is something we believe in, and Emory is a wonderful example of what dedication and hard work can achieve.

Thank you, Emory, for the beautiful work and for helping our property look its very best!

This week is Veterinary Receptionist Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible heart of our front desk.

Our receptionists are the first voices you hear and the first faces you see when you walk through our doors. They provide a welcoming presence while managing a fast-paced environment with professionalism, efficiency, and compassion. From coordinating appointments to supporting clients through both routine visits and more emotional moments, their impact is felt in every aspect of our practice.

We are truly grateful for their dedication, teamwork, and commitment to both our clients and their pets. Their work does not go unnoticed.

If our receptionists have ever made you smile or helped make your visit easier, we’d love for you to leave them a shoutout in the comments! Let’s make sure they feel the love this week 💙🐾

We have 2 very precious kittens that are looking for their forever home!

These two brothers have spent the first few months of their little lives needing lots of TLC to get them back on their feet. Now that they are in the clear with their health they are ready for their forever homes. They truly love and depend on each other and therefore we would like them to be adopted together.

If you think you have room for two sweet orange boys in your home please give us a call at 205-823-6002 and ask for Crystal or Dr. Burke.

An approved adoption application and adoption fee will be required before adopting.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to a very special member of the AAVH family, our sweet Babygirl. 💔🌈

For over 10 years, Babygirl has been part of our clinic and our hearts. She first found us as a stray in the backyard of AAVH, and when no one came to reclaim her, she quietly claimed us instead. From that day forward, she became a staple of our hospital.

Babygirl was 16 years old and full of personality. She loved stretching out in a sunny window, supervising the day’s activities, or tucking herself away in a cabinet when she decided she needed a little space. She had a gentle way of being present - a comforting, steady soul in the middle of busy clinic days.

Our staff grew alongside her. She was there for long shifts, hard cases, laughter-filled moments, and everything in between. So many of you met her over the years and knew her as part of what made AAVH feel like home.

Yesterday we helped her cross the Rainbow Bridge with the same love and compassion she gave us every single day. While our hearts are heavy, we are so grateful for the years we were given with her.

She will truly be missed, but never forgotten. 🤍🖤

Run free, sweet Babygirl.
