Back in December of last year we lost a beloved family member and dear friend Dr. Brandon Mallard. So in order to keep his memory and legacy alive, we dedicated a room just for him. This room bring us so much comfort and shows everything that he loved animals, family, friends, God, and everything NC State. Missing him is our heart’s way of reminding us that we love him, not just the ones that were blessed to work with him for 8 years at HCVC but also the community. There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone the light still remains, and Room 3 will forever and always be Dr. Mallard's room. ❤️

Fun Fact Friday!
The summer sun can cause the pavement to become extremely hot. Hot pavement can damage your dog's paw pads. Prevent damage by checking the temperature of the pavement before you walk- if it is too hot for you to be barefoot on, it is too hot for your pet. When pavement is too hot, try to stay in the grass or consider dog shoes.
