Fall is in the air, and earlier this month we had an amazing, crisp Saturday at the Sioux Falls Humane Society’s Bark in the Park! 🐾

It was great to see so many happy tail wags, sweet pups to pet, and the chance to connect with our wonderful community.

Thank you, Sioux Falls Area Humane Society, for the opportunity to sponsor the event and help raise funds for homeless and neglected pets supported by SFAHS.

We're wrapping up Veterinary Technician Week by celebrating Erin! 🐾

We've been introducing our technicians this week in the order they joined Upleash, and today we're finishing with someone who has quickly become an incredibly important part of our hospital.

Erin is our Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), and she brings a tremendous amount of knowledge, skill, and dedication to her work.

While much of the attention in veterinary medicine tends to fall on the doctors, there is an incredible amount of responsibility placed on the technicians who work alongside them.

And Erin is a perfect example of that.

As one of the primary technicians in our general practice, Erin plays a central role in our surgical and dental procedures, particularly anesthesia and patient monitoring. These are jobs that require technical expertise, attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to recognize when something isn't quite right.

They're also jobs that require an enormous amount of trust.

And that's something Erin has earned.

What we appreciate most about Erin is that she genuinely wants to do things well. She cares about her patients, takes pride in her work, and is always looking for ways to learn and improve. She doesn't simply want to get through the day. She wants to provide the best care she can for every animal that comes through our doors.

She also loves the relationships that come with general practice, getting to know patients and their families and being part of their care throughout their lives.

Outside of Upleash, Erin enjoys reading and spending time with her own crew: Luna, Major, and Atlas.

Erin, thank you for the skill, dedication, and compassion you bring to Upleash. We're grateful you chose to join our team, and we're excited to continue building this hospital with you.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week!

It's Veterinary Technician Week, and today we're celebrating someone who makes every day at Upleash a little brighter. Meet Isabel! 🐾

Every once in a while, you come across someone who is just genuinely, exceptionally good. Not just at their job, but at being a human being.

That's Isabel.

Isabel is Dr. Spoo’s primary technician, and if you've ever met her, you know that she seems to have a permanent smile on her face. No matter how busy the day gets or what challenges come through the door, she brings an infectious positivity and a willingness to help.

But what makes Isabel truly special is her heart.

She's thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the people and animals around her. She's the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back without thinking twice about it. Not because she expects anything in return, but simply because that's who she is.

That compassion carries over into her work. Whether she's comforting a nervous patient, helping a worried owner, or jumping in to help a teammate, Isabel approaches everything with kindness and a smile.

She also shares Dr. Spoo’s passion for athletic and hunting dogs. Outside the clinic, you'll often find her outdoors, hunting, or spending time with her dogs. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers hold a particularly special place in her heart and hopefully there is a Chessie pup in her very near future.

Isabel, thank you for the kindness you bring to our hospital, the compassion you show our patients, and for making the people around you better simply by being yourself.

We're incredibly fortunate to have you as part of the Upleash family.
Happy Veterinary Technician Week!

It's Veterinary Technician Week, and today we're celebrating another incredible member of the Upleash team. Meet Maddie! 🐾

If we could design the ideal person to have on our veterinary team, Maddie would check a lot of the boxes.

Originally from Nebraska (we forgive her for this), Maddie graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2022 with a degree in Veterinary Science. After moving to Sioux Falls, she discovered specialty veterinary medicine and quickly fell in love with it.

And that passion shows up in her work every single day.

Maddie loves the puzzle of veterinary medicine, working through clinical signs, helping reach a diagnosis, and then being part of the treatment that gets a patient feeling better. She has a particular interest in hospitalized patients and oncology, where her skills and compassion make a tremendous difference.

But what makes Maddie truly special goes beyond her medical abilities.

She's thoughtful, hardworking, genuinely caring, and has the kind of quiet confidence and backbone that make her someone you can count on. She's willing to speak up, willing to learn, and willing to do the right thing, even when it isn't the easiest thing.

Those qualities are invaluable in a profession where our patients can't speak for themselves.

Outside the hospital, Maddie enjoys crafting, reading at local coffee shops, and spending time with her family and nieces. She brings that same curiosity and desire to keep learning into everything she does.

One of the things we're most proud of at Upleash is the team we're building, and Maddie is exactly the kind of person we hoped would be part of it.

Maddie, thank you for the care you provide, the pride you take in your work, and for being someone we can count on day in and day out. We're incredibly fortunate to have you on our team.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week!

It's Veterinary Technician Week, and we're kicking things off by celebrating one of the people who helped make Upleash possible. Meet Sophie! 🐾�

If you've spent much time at Upleash, there's a good chance you've met Sophie. And if you haven't, there's an equally good chance she's been working behind the scenes to help make your pet's visit a success.

Originally from Monticello, Minnesota, Sophie earned her degree in Biology from the College of Saint Benedict before finding her calling in veterinary medicine.�

We've had the privilege of working alongside Sophie for several years, and when we began building Upleash, she was an integral part of bringing our vision to life. From helping establish our systems and workflows to providing exceptional patient care, her fingerprints are all over this hospital.�

Sophie has a particular passion for oncology and the relationships that develop between our team, our patients, and their families. She's the kind of person who remembers the little details, follows patients through their medical journeys, and genuinely cares about the people on the other end of the leash.

She's also an incredibly talented member of our medical team, with the technical skills, judgment, and compassion that make the veterinarians around her better.

Outside the hospital, Sophie enjoys life with her husband, son, and their three pets, Mauzie, Archie, and Ginny.

Sophie, thank you for believing in what we're building, for the care you provide our patients, and for everything you've done to help make Upleash what it is today.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week!

It’s Vet Tech Week, and we want to take a moment to brag about the incredible people who make our clinic what it is. 💙

Behind every wagging tail that goes home happy, there’s a team you might not always see. They’re the ones who greet you with a smile on your hardest days, who hold a scared pup or cat a little closer, who stay late without being asked, and who remember your pet’s name, quirks, and favorite treats. They comfort worried owners, count every pill, monitor surgery patients with eagle eyes, and somehow still find time to celebrate every little victory.

What amazes us most isn’t just their skill (though they have plenty!). It’s their heart. They treat every patient like their own and every client like family. Some are growing their skills, some are studying for exams, some are brand new, and some helped build this place from the ground up. All of them pour their whole selves into this work.

To our amazing technicians, assistants, receptionists, and students: THANK YOU! Thank you for your compassion, your courage, your patience, and your passion. Upleash Veterinary Hospital is what it is due to your hard work and big hearts, and we are so proud and grateful to work alongside each of you. 🐾

Enjoy the spotlight this week as it is well deserved and know we could not do our jobs without each and every one of you.
—Dr. Spoo, Dr. Hardy, and Dr. Ward.

If you’ve ever been cared for by our amazing team, drop them some love in the comments!

🐾❤ She holds a particularly special place in the hearts of our chemotherapy patients and their families, helping make their visits a little brighter with her gentle care and reassuring presence.

Help us wish Maddie the happiest of birthdays! We’re so lucky to have her on our team! 🐶🐱
