Experience is preferred but we are willing to train the right person.

If you are interested in the position, please message us through Facebook or send an email to [email protected] with your information. PLEASE do not call the hospital regarding the position, I'd rather not add more work to the ladies upfront as they are busy enough. 😉 Thanks!

Miss Mabel is still looking for her very own family... Could it be you!??

Oak Village Friends and Family, we need your help!!

In March one of our staff member's daughter found two sweet yet sickly, skinny and scared strays that were abandoned on a blanket on an gravel road out in the middle of nowhere. Out of these two there was a young male that we named "Cinch" and a 2 year old(ish) female we call "Mable". Generously, Dr. Bowen and his wife Debbi opened their hearts and their home to help make these babies whole again! (thank you!) Both of these fur babies were skinny and had multiple internal parasites and Miss Mable also unfortunately had heartworm as well. They both have had their appropriate treatments, have gained weight and learned trust. Cinch has been neutered and is currently in a loving foster home (which we hope turns into his forever home!) living his best life enjoying long walks and playing in woods with tons of belly rubs and kisses. We are so happy for him and would love to see Mable have the same happily ever after now that she is healthy and thriving.

This is what we know about Mable: She is 51 pounds of pure love with kisses galore for anyone that takes the time to greet her. She is learning to walk on a lead but still can pull quite a bit. She also loves belly rubs, playing and treats! She is a jumper, she will require either walks on a leash when outside or a taller fence (she easily jumps a 3 foot gate just to give you an example) We have been working on potty training and she has been doing quite well, she is also crate trained. She and her friend Cinch got along great but we a are not 100% sure how she will do with other pets. A slow introduction will be the only way to tell. Mable has not been spayed yet as we wanted to wait until she was healthier and give her body time to heal before she was put under anesthesia. She should be ready for that procedure soon though. She has been through so much and we want to be certain that she goes to the best home! If you are interested or know of someone that would make a great forever home for our friend Mable we would love to hear from you!

Thank you for your help!

This article couldn’t be more true. ALL animal hospitals, not just emergency facilities run into these issues… please remember that one day it could be your pet that is being saved in the back while other clients wait for their appointments. We try our very best to be timely for our client’s appointments but critical patients come first and sometimes situations arise unexpectedly and need attention immediately. We appreciate your patience and understanding, we love our patients and want the very best for them all❤️

The next time you have to go to a veterinary emergency room and are mad that it is taking so long remember this picture. The next time you are angry with the vet assistants, the technicians, or the front desk for how long it’s taking for your dog to be seen for an upset tummy or to look at a torn declaw- behind the scenes we are desperately trying to stabilize someone else’s best friend. The next time you are yelling at the hospital staff for not bringing your pet out in ten minutes- because you “paid your bill so bring my pet out to me” - you really have no idea what is happening behind those doors. Please remember there is so much more happening that you don’t see. Next time you are angry and think I just need some medicine for your furry friend remember an animal Emergency room - we work just like a human emergency room; critical Patients come first. Every time you yell at us for the time it’s taking- behind the scenes we just preformed CPR for 15 - 30 minutes and then comforted and owner that just lost their pet. We are in the industry to be an advocate to those you don’t have a voice. The next time you go to an animal emergency room - we are doing the best we can- be kind, be compassionate, we are there to help.
