🐾 Fun Fact Friday 🐾
Did you know yawning is contagious... even for dogs? 😮🐶

Just like us, dogs can "catch" yawns from humans and other pups — and it’s often a sweet sign of empathy and social bonding. Studies show they’re more likely to mimic their owner's yawn than a stranger’s, which means your pup might just be feeling your vibes.

While it could also signal stress or sleepiness, this quirky behavior makes dogs one of the few non-primates to show contagious yawning. How cool is that? 💙

Tuesday Tip: Springtime Safety - Pet Friendly Plants!

Spring is in the air, and so is the urge to garden! But before you start planting, make sure your yard is safe for your furry friends!

🌼 Swap out toxic plants for pet-friendly picks like rosemary, basil, peppermint, and marigolds—safe AND great for fresh breath! 🐾

With spring in full bloom, it's best to be aware of plants that our four legged friends can be around and ones they should stay away from.

Fun Fact Friday! 🐱🍖 Did you know that cats can't taste sweetness? Unlike humans, they lack the necessary taste receptors due to a genetic mutation common in carnivores. Instead, they're more drawn to textures, scents, and savory flavors like fats and umami. Even big cats like lions and tigers share this trait!

🎉🐾 Celebrating 25 Years of Hope Animal Clinic! 🐾🎉

For 25 years, Hope Animal Clinic has been more than just a veterinary clinic—we’ve been a family, a place of healing, and a source of comfort for pets and their people. Founded by Dr. David Fuller, our journey has been filled with incredible moments, dedicated care, and the unwavering support of our amazing clients and team.

To celebrate this milestone, we’ve created a special video that highlights our story, our passion, and the heart behind everything we do. ❤️🐶🐱

Watch now and take a trip down memory lane with us! Thank you for 25 wonderful years—we couldn’t have done it without YOU! Here’s to many more years of love, care, and community.

Today, April 3rd, marks 25 years since I first opened the doors of Hope Animal Clinic in a renovated house with 1 surgery table, 2 exam rooms, and a used x-ray machine given to me by a veterinary friend. The year was 2000. I had a confidence that I was where God wanted me to be; I had a young family and one technician who worked with me; and I had a solid commitment to provide excellent pet care at reasonable prices. I had a hope for the future.

The future became more than my “hope” imagined. Through the years, God has brought exceptional veterinarians, managers, technicians, receptionists, kennel workers, and groomers. Today, we have a team of six incredible veterinarians and approximately 80 dedicated employees who make Hope Animal Clinic what it is all while working in a modern hospital with advanced technology. I could not have imagined how Hope would grow.

I also could not have imagined the thousands of people that I and my staff would have the privilege of knowing and serving. Some of you have become like family; many of you have become friends; all of you are appreciated. So let me say this—whether you’ve been with us since the “old house” or just joined our Hope family—thank you for trusting us with your pets. Your support has made this journey possible, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I am also grateful for our dedicated staff now and throughout the years. Hope could not provide compassionate, excellent care without them. Thank you, staff, for making Hope a trusted place for pet care through your skilled attention and dedication to every pet’s well being and every client’s needs. You are the best!

Foremost, I thank God for His faithfulness and give Him glory. I am fully convinced that God has a plan for all of us—each person—and that my work through Hope Animal Clinic is God’s plan and calling for my life. Preventing diseases through wellness programs, healing diseases through diagnosis and treatment, restoring function of essential organs and limbs through surgery, relieving suffering, and saving pets’ lives through medical treatment---vet medicine is a high calling. But the greater calling is to share the gospel and to shine God’s light to those He brings through our doors. I hope to practice many more years and to be faithful to my callings to the end.

I’d love to hear your favorite memories or see pictures of your pets who have been part of our journey, so please post these on our social media page. Here’s to 25 years of care, compassion, and community—and many more years to come, Lord willing!

— Dr. David T. Fuller, III

Tuesday Tip: Is Your Dog Stubborn? Probably Not!

Dogs that don't listen or obey are called stubborn dogs, but there are often simpler reasons for their behavior such as confusion or distractions.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Meet Kala! 🌟

If you've been to Hope, chances are you've met Kala, our amazing Receptionist Assistant Manager & Boarding Coordinator! She’s been a part of the Hope family for 7 years, and we couldn’t imagine this place without her. ❤️🐾

Why does Kala love Hope?
"It’s like a big family! We all share the same passion—helping pets and people in times of need. I love building relationships with our clients and their furry friends while continuing to learn something new every day!"

When she's not at Hope? (Wait… she does leave sometimes? 😂)
Kala loves exploring new restaurants and sightseeing with her husband, spoiling her two cats Mako & Asher, visiting family, and tuning into her favorite podcasts.

Fun Fact Friday: The Secret Behind Tail Wagging! 🐶

Did you know that a dog's tail wag direction can reveal how they're feeling? Studies show that:

➡️ Right-side wagging = Positive emotions like happiness and relaxation.
⬅️ Left-side wagging = Negative emotions like stress or anxiety.

This happens because the left side of the brain (which controls the right side of the body) is linked to positive emotions, while the right side of the brain (controlling the left side) is connected to negative feelings.

But remember—context is key! A wagging tail doesn’t always mean a happy pup. Pay attention to tail position and other body language cues to better understand what your furry friend is trying to say! 🐾💕

🐾 Employee Spotlight: Patience! 🐾

Meet Patience, one of our amazing Kennel Techs here at Hope Animal Clinic! She’s been with us for one year, and in that time, she’s loved meeting new people, helping animals, and gaining valuable experience for her future career goals. 🐶🐾

When she’s not caring for our furry friends at Hope, you can find Patience curled up with a good book, enjoying a meal out with friends and family, or watching her favorite movies & TV shows. 📖🍿🎬

At home, she has one very special pup named Sugar Bear 🐕—we think that name alone makes her an instant favorite!

Thanks for all you do, Patience! We’re so lucky to have you on the team. 💙
