Meet BEAN: He was found as a 3/4wk old baby that needed medical attention. We took care of his medical needs and he was so small that he had to be bottle fed. Our staff rotated taking him home for the night and feeding him until he was able to go to a foster. He is now flourishing and ready for a FURR-EVER HOME
A little about BEAN from the foster : Bean is so fun and healthy! He loves to play with anything and everything he meets! He has never met a stranger and the word fear is definitely not in his vocabulary! His favorite things are playing with our dogs and snuggling up in fuzzy blankets when he has worn himself out! Please contact us if you are interested in scheduling a meet. He's the BEST boy and you wont be disappointed

🤍🖤Meet Marceline and Bemo🖤🤍
Hi friend! We are mother and daughter! I am Marceline (mom) and my baby Bemo. We are both in need of a good, loving home. She's been with me all this time and we are bonded so it would make us so happy to get adopted together. It takes a special person to say, " I will take both of them so they can stay together" but I know our special person is out there. We are both females, young, fun, playful, and we love kisses! We are housetrained, and good with kids and other dogs. We will be your best friends forever and you will be happy knowing you rescued 2 girls and let them stay together. We are spayed, microchipped, and ready to go today! We have been here a little while so I am hopeful you will be the one to love us and take us home today! I just want someone to love me and my baby. I hope it's you! Come see us at Noahs Ark Monday-Saturday 11am-5pm, closed Thur and Sun. Our adoption fee has been covered through the Ruby Slippers program because "there's no place like home!!"

Today we will highlight our Hospital Manager, Diana Garrison. First of all I'd like to state the importance of Diana. She is the GLUE to this clinic. She is always embedding our roots and values as a clinic in us and we could simply not be without her. She could NEVER get enough recognition for what she does for us and our community. Diana was born in Columbus, Ohio. She attended Columbus State Community College and took some courses at The Ohio State University (GO BUCKS). Diana managed two practices in Ohio for 15 years. Horses brought her to Texas, where she was breeding and riding reining horses. When she started at Independence 16 years ago, the focus was on the needs of the community. Fast forward, that focus created who we are today. Dr. Shelly was (and is) a huge influence on her and Diana has continued to put the needs of staff, clients and patients first and foremost. She lives on a ranch in Whitesboro that raises cow horses, reining horses and cows. In her spare time, she loves to travel back to her home state of Ohio, Florida and Wyoming.
