We would like to ask for prayers for Dr. Turner’s family as her father went to his heavenly home this morning. We will have to reschedule everyone through December 10th. Please be patient with us during this time. Thank you!

UPDATE: We have now adopted out all the puppies. Thank you to everyone who shared this post to help us find them new homes.

We have five puppies here at the clinic for adoption. There are four males and one female, mix between Anatolian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees. They were strays that were rescued with their mother. Their mother has been spoken for, and these would be great for Christmas! Please contact our office, (660) 886-6812, if you are interested. They have had their first vaccination, dewormed and a flea treatment. They will need to finish their puppy vaccinations and be neutered or spayed.

Our thoughts and prayers for comfort and healing go out to the family, staff and clients of Dr. Rob Espey of Crain Veterinary Center, in Grain Valley, MO. He was tragically killed by lightning at the Holden Rodeo last Friday. Our clinic referred many orthopedic patients to him and his staff over the last few years. He will be greatly missed by all.

We love our in- house IDEXX lab. It allows us to get quick results so treatment can begin. It is a great tool to obtain baseline bloodwork on our younger clients so we have a reference for comparison when they are ill.
