We would like to ask everyone to please be patient and kind with our staff this week. We will be transitioning to a new software and it will take time to learn things. This process can be just as frustrating for us as it can those we are making wait.
We will do our best to accommodate you while we go through this process.
This will also apply to prescription refills and technician appointments. If you are planning to have a prescription refilled in hospital and online over the next month or two, there will be wait times associated with these requests.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope this will eventually lead to the betterment and efficiency of the practice and appointments as a whole. ☺️

11 Days ago this beautiful girl was abandoned at our hospital during a scheduled appointment for her. She’d been hit by a motorcycle and suffered severe injuries, including a fractured femur in her rear left leg and a dislocated hip on her right rear leg. She was unable to walk on her rear end at all and was in dire need of orthopedic surgery.

We tried contacting the people who scheduled her appointment and follow state regulations on abandoned animals, but we knew we had to help this girl.

Surgery was preformed on her with great success and she is on her way to recovery. However, unfortunately these types of procedures are not free. We would greatly appreciate any donations made toward her care, as she will continue to stay with us through her recovery process. Donations will go directly toward the cost of her surgical and medicine needs. Please contact us at 304-525-8387 and let us know you’d like to donate toward Sunshine(the name we’ve given her for her bright personality and constant smiles).

She is one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met. She is kind, happy go lucky, quiet, good with other dogs and cats. She loves to smile and will eat straight from our hands.

If you happen to be Sunshine’s real owner, please contact us so we can get you reconnected with your beautiful baby.

For those of you who want to help animals you’ve found hit by cars or otherwise ill but can’t afford their care. Please understand that making an appointment at a veterinary hospital and leaving without telling us is NOT the way to accomplish this. A lot of these animals end up euthanized because veterinary clinics cannot afford to treat every animal abandoned at our hospitals. If you find a lost or injured dog and plan on taking it to a veterinary hospital PLEASE let us know you cannot care for the animal and that it is not your pet so we can work together to figure out a plan. Veterinary clinic staff LOVE animals and will fight our hardest to find ways to care for them, treat them, and find them homes. Dumping them on us and making us decide whether to try to treat an animal or euthanize it simply isn’t fair.

We are offering these services during business hours where we also see scheduled appointments and emergency walk-ins, so there is a possibility for extended wait times, please be patient as we try to treat everyone to the best of our ability.

Last but definitely not least, we are celebrating our Technician Managers!

Johnna is our Technician Manager, and she has been with us for a very long time. She is the kindest person, and is always willing to help! She frequently works reception as well. She has so much love in her heart for all her patients.

She is pictured here with one of her kitties, Crystal.

Also pictured here is Clayton, our Assistant Technician Manager. Clayton does it all, from keeping everyone on track, helping anywhere he is needed, and even constantly staying late for patient care. He never complains when we chase him down to fix our constant technology issues.

Clayton is pictured here with the sweetest baby ever, Nimbus.
