Hi community! We’re running very low on dog treats at the shelter and could really use your help. 🐶💛

Our pups would love donations of:

• Soft chews (great for dogs with dental sensitivities)

• Jerky treats (because who doesn’t love jerky?)

• Xylitol-free peanut butter (safe for dogs!)

• Lean Treats (a special request from our Vet Team)

• Freeze-dried treats (a special request from the dogs 🐾)

• Canned cheese and peanut butter dog paste (truly one of the best inventions ever!)

Every donation helps make our shelter dogs a little happier while they wait for their forever homes. Thank you for supporting them!

Awareness with dryers and cats.
While it might seem cute or harmless when they snuggle into the laundry, encouraging this behavior makes them comfortable with the appliance. This drastically increases the risk that they will silently slip inside unnoticed right before a cycle starts.

To our incredible Veterinary Assistants — Kylie, Melissa, Jadyn, Sam, Roz, Bonnie, Hailey, and Shay — thank you.

Thank you for showing up every single day with dedication, compassion, and a commitment to this team and this hospital that doesn't go unnoticed. You are the backbone of what we do here, and the care you pour into each patient is the reason we are able to do what we love.

Without you, the animals that walk through our doors wouldn't receive the attentive, loving care that sets us apart. You make that possible — every exam, every treatment, every wagging tail and purring patient.

We are endlessly grateful for each and every one of you. 🐾❤️

Over the past 4½ years, Kylie has become an irreplaceable part of our team — and it shows in everything she does.

From the moment a new team member walks through our doors, Kylie is there to guide and support them, sharing her knowledge and experience with patience and genuine care. She's the kind of mentor who makes people feel confident and capable.

Her dedication extends to our clients, too. Kylie takes the time to educate each pet owner, helping them better understand the needs of their furry family members — because she knows an informed family is the best kind of advocate for their pet.

For two years, Melissa has been part of our team, bringing a vibrant personality and a warm smile to every appointment. Whether you're coming in with a nervous pup or a feisty feline, Melissa has a way of making both pets and their people feel right at ease.

Her patience and commitment to exceptional patient care are at the heart of everything she does, and it shows in every interaction. We are so lucky to have someone who truly loves what she does and pours that love into caring for your furry babies every single day.

Over the past year and a half, Roz has brought a truly special kind of empathy to our team. She understands how difficult and emotional it can be for pet parents when their beloved companion isn't feeling well, and she makes it her mission to help in every way she can during each visit.

A year and a half ago, Hailey joined our team and has been making an impact ever since! She comes to work every day with a genuine desire to learn and is always ready to tackle new skills — a quality that makes her such a valuable part of what we do.

Hailey is deeply passionate about the care your pet receives, and she consistently goes the extra mile to make sure every detail is handled with precision and heart. Her dedication to doing things right — every time — is something we truly admire.

For four years, Shay has gone above and beyond to make sure every pet that walks through our doors has everything they need during their visit. Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail make a real difference — not just for our patients, but for the pet parents who trust us with their beloved companions.
