We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mark Smith for coming out of retirement this past winter and spring to help support our equine veterinary services. His experience, dedication, and calm presence were invaluable during a time of transition, and we’re so grateful for the care he provided to our clients and their horses.

It was truly a gift to have him back, even if just for a short while. Wishing him all the best as he returns to a well-deserved retirement (again!) — we hope it includes plenty of time for the things he loves most.

Thank you, Dr. Mark! 💙🐴

A Preventable Tragedy We Need to Talk About 💔

This is Lexie — a beloved, food-loving dog who tragically lost her life after suffocating in a chip bag.

Her person, Deborah, is a devoted and experienced veterinary technician in our local community. She has spent her career caring for animals, and like so many of us in this field, she knew the risks and always tried to stay a step ahead. But these heartbreaking accidents can happen to anyone, in any home, no matter how much we know or how careful we are.

When pets get into chip or snack bags, they often push their heads in far enough that the bag creates a vacuum-like seal. As they eat, they quickly run out of oxygen — and can’t pull the bag off. It happens in minutes. Silently.

Many people still don’t realize this is even a risk — and that’s why Lexie’s story is being bravely shared: not to place blame, but to raise awareness and protect others.

Please help us prevent another loss:
• Store bags in sealed cupboards or containers
• Cut bags before throwing them away
• Share this post to educate others

You can also support a growing petition to include suffocation warning labels on chip and snack bags:

Let Lexie’s story help save lives. She was deeply loved — and her memory deserves to make a difference. 🐾

*OWNERS FOUND! Happy ending for this perfect man*

We had a young male hit by car cat brought in late yesterday afternoon. He is doing well and is safe in our care for the time being. He was found in the Brooklyn area, Hwy 215 off Sterling Rd. If you think he could be yours, please send a photo and we would be more than happy to reunite him with his family.

*Going on an adoption trial next week 😄*

We have got the sookiest girl available for adoption!

Her background is somewhat of a mystery as she appeared in our parking lot almost a month ago. She was very stand offish and scared at first however with some patience we were able to get her secured inside safely.

She was never claimed so we have gone ahead and gotten her all vetted and ready for her furever home. We have been calling her Mouse. She is FELV/FIV negative, she received her first vaccine, parasite control and was spayed. We suspect she is about 1-2 years old.

She is extremely affectionate and loving to everyone. She has not yet figured out that food is in no short supply, so we do need to warn her future owner that she will gorge if allowed and will have to have strict meal times.

Since she has experience outdoors, we think she could do well in an indoor outdoor home however she is too social to be a barn cat. She wants attention and she wants it now! We also think she would do just fine in a home with or without other animals.

If you are interested in adopting her please email us at [email protected]
