Makenzie, Rhiannon, Tina and Sydni represented the Animalia crew last night at the Fur Ball, benefitting our friends of ! It was a night filled with good food, spirits, and fundraising to support a center dedicated to strengthening the human-animal bond through accessible veterinary care and support services.

Pet Community Center (PCC) operates The Phran Galante Center for Pet Wellness – a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter and vaccine clinic in Nashville, TN run by highly skilled veterinarians, clinicians, and nonprofit professionals. At the close of 2024, they have served nearly 150,000 animals while tackling barriers to veterinary care and providing outreach and support to pet owners who live in veterinary care deserts. The results of their work include lower pet homelessness rates, lower shelter euthanasia rates, and improved public health and quality of life in neighborhoods across Davidson County.

We’re thankful for their efforts and proud to support PCC year round with memorial donations in honor and loving memory of each Animalia patient that crosses the rainbow bridge ❤️

We suspect Miss Harli Mae agreed to shadow Stacey and our CSR team for the sole purpose of getting closer to the treat jar. We can’t say for sure, but the crumbs point to an adorable cookie monster wearing a baby onesie!

A reminder that Dr. Haley Fitzsimmons and our Urgent Care team are available this Saturday, 8am-6pm! Urgent Care and limited wellness appointments are scheduled on a call-ahead appointment basis, so we ask that you contact our client service team at 615-595-7100 or conveniently schedule online at www.animaliawellness.com to ensure our medical team can best serve you and your pet on arrival.

Our goal is to provide extended hours and exceptional care for sick patients outside of our normal weekday schedule, with onsite diagnostic equipment to perform bloodwork, x-rays, and an in-house pharmacy allowing timely results and treatment. We welcome those new to Animalia and will work with your primary care veterinarian to ensure all medical notes and treatment plans are thoroughly communicated, encouraging follow up with your pet’s physician. Please give our team a call this Saturday, 8am-6pm, for your Urgent Care needs.

Introducing our exciting new office mates, Toby and Cornelia! Longstanding members of the Malone family, these fascinating reptiles are officially taking up residency at Animalia as part of our crew and we can’t wait to share their story with you!

Toby is a very docile 3.5 year old bearded dragon who clearly loves socializing and being handled, often found hitching a ride on our shoulders while helping with medical notes and online pharmacy requests. He requires specific needs for proper lighting, humidity and heat source within his enclosure and sheds periodically in pieces and patches, which is typical of a lizard.

Toby is a good boy and eats a daily “salad” including turnip greens, collard greens, and arugula, along with bell peppers and squash. He loves blueberries and raspberries, which he only gets occasionally as a treat due to the higher sugar content. Every other day, Toby gets his protein by consuming dubia roaches and superworms!

Cornelia is a 5 year old corn snake, also known as a red rat snake. Rat snakes are very common in the wild in this area, making them a hardy species as they are adaptable to the changes in season and humidity that we experience around Middle TN. While Cornelia is a docile, captive bred snake who can be handled with low stress, it is not recommended to bring a wild snake into captivity.

She regulates her body temperature by her positioning in the habitat with a heat source making one side of her enclosure around 90 degrees. Cornelia sheds approximately once every 6-8 weeks in one solid piece, head to tail, which is a sign of good health!

Unlike Toby, she eats only 1-2 times per month with a diet of rats and mice. While rats are her preference, they are fed less frequently due to higher fat content. We’ll be sharing more updates and FAQs on our new friends, so stay tuned for the adventures of Toby and Cornelia!

Rosie made a splash at her big debut in our Canine Enrichment program at , warming hearts and laps during her first visit! Thank you to our Animalia friends, Sam and Jodi, for joining us and volunteering their time to make this month extra special for our favorite residents.

This 16 year old young man not only impressed us with his big heart and warm smile, but he plans to return with Rosie and his family for future visits each month. We love when good folks come together and make a positive impact in our community!
