Winnie was one of the sweetest, most beautiful little pitties I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Unfortunately, cancer took her from her devoted people way too early but that didn’t stop her from greeting me with the best butt wiggles (or from eating ALLLL the cookies) when I arrived. Losing a beloved pet is never easy and I’m honored that I could assist her and her family in their time of need. In memory of Winnie, please leave a 🩵 or an uplifting message in the comments below. Rest peacefully sweet Winnie. 🐾

🐶 If your dog is scared of fireworks, reach out to your veterinarian for medications now so they have time to get them filled before the holiday. 😉 🐾

We had a great time last weekend at New Kent’s adoption event “Raise the Woof!” It was wonderful supporting the community, meeting new people, sharing memories of pets & watching all the pups have fun. 💕 The kids really enjoyed our memory board as well. 🐾

Well… it finally happened..
.the dreaded words..

We are full.

Every kennel is housing a dog. Even a crate, a cat kennel, and our ISO room are housing a dog.

It’s not fair to them that they are living like this. We are doing all we can to get them adopted but it’s not working. 1 dog was adopted today and 4 dogs came in.

This will be our last call for help. WE NEED ADOPTERS!! WE NEED FOSTERS!! Please help us. Please come take one of our dogs😭

Please share this post with every rescue friend, foster friend, and anyone who just might want to adopt a dog‼️

Meet beautiful, sweet Annie - a petite Sheltie whose wonderful family recently bid farewell. Annie was adopted in 2016 (her adoption picture is below) and quickly stole the hearts of her new family. She became a dedicated, constant companion, providing special comfort to the elderly members of the family and enjoyed being groomed. (Grandpa is holding her in a picture below right after being groomed!) It’s an honor to witness the bonds my patients form with their people. 💕 We extend our deepest sympathies to her family. If you’d like to show your support, please leave an uplifting message or 💜 in the comments below. Rest peacefully Annie. 🐾

“Dr. Tuck, Thank you. I've been through a lot in my life & Stormy has been through much of it with me in the past 10 years. It's been hard. Emotions running up & down everywhere. I feel bad for James. He's lonely...but, I’m getting him a buddy. I have my moments & I miss my buddy. He was a kind soul. Loved all animals. Just a great soul. Thank you from my soul.” ~Kat

Stormy’s kidneys had acutely failed him but that didn’t deter from the handsome kitty I encountered when I arrived to assist Ms. Kat. Stormy was surrounded by many people that shared in his life story - all evidence of love. Many stories of his younger, healthier days provided beautiful, healing memories for all. Rest easy handsome boy. In memory of Stormy, please leave a 🖤 or an uplifting message in the comments below.

“Ladybug loved the outdoors & waited until the very last minute to come inside in the evening & was at the door begging to go out early in the morning. It was only in her later years did she appreciate the climate control & comforts of her inside home. She was rescued after being abandoned in the middle of February 17 years ago & was loved very much by everyone that she met. She was a sweet girl & never displayed any kind of aggression. She loved belly rubs & treats of all kinds. She truly gave it her all for 17+ years. Steve & I were so thankful that you were referred to us by her long time veterinarian friends who also loved her. When it was her time to enter into eternal peace, your compassion and gentle care helped us through a very difficult time & made her passing so peaceful in her own home. We are very grateful for your services. We miss her every day, but we know she is no longer struggling. Thank you so much!” ~Karen

Though we were in different departments, Karen & I actually worked together many years ago & our paths would cross briefly from time to time. What an honor to be referred to her in her time of need by other mutual friends; it truly is a small world.
🐾🐞Rest well sweet Ladybug. 🐞 🐾

“Thank you again for coming out last week to set Chloe free of her pain and suffering, we were so pleased on how that came together and appreciated your kind words and care.”

Chloe & her family recently moved to Mathews County from FL while Chloe was battling an aggressive cancer. Among her favorite things were her tennis balls and “babies” (her stuffed animals.) Even through her pain, she still tried to bring me her balls/babies when I arrived, showcasing her playful spirit. 🐾 I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the Nehrling family & keep them in our thoughts as they mourn their sweet Chloe. Losing a beloved pet is never easy and I’m honored to have assisted in her peaceful passing. In memory of Chloe, please leave a 🩷 or uplifting message in the comments below.

“Thanks for taking some time with me yesterday; I appreciate it. This is Kiki with her best friend, Pheobe. They were thick as thieves. Kiki was really special to me in the time after my wife passed away. She was the last of our furry friends we had together & I will miss her. Thank you again.”

Kiki was a beautiful girl who stole my heart in the brief time I knew her. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Don and continue to keep him in our thoughts during this difficult time. I’m honored to have been able to help his beloved kitty, Kiki, cross over the Rainbow Bridge. If you'd like to show your support, please leave a 💙 or an uplifting message in the comments section below.

The bond between a pet and their owner is a special one built on love, companionship, and countless memories. Losing a furry friend can be one of the most difficult and heart-wrenching experiences, especially when they are tied to others we have lost.

Rest well Kiki 🐾🪽
