Please join us in welcoming Dr. Shelby Ziegler to the Patton Veterinary Hospital team!
Dr. Shelby hails from Gainesville, Florida and is a graduate of both the University of Florida and the UF College of Veterinary Medicine. She moved to Pennsylvania with her husband after graduation in 2023.
Dr. Shelby and her husband have two pets: Jack, a Catahoula hound dog mix who she describes as her “bestest buddy” and Tortellini, a leopard tortoise who loves yard time!
Drawn to veterinary medicine because of her desire to help clients maintain the human-animal bond we all share with our pets, Dr. Shelby says, “Animals bring such joy, whether as a pet or just seeing them in their natural habitat. I want to take care of those animals that can’t speak for themselves. They deserve great care.” This fits perfectly with her favorite quote from 1 Corinthians 16:14, “Let all that you do be done in love.”
Her journey into the field of veterinary medicine began with volunteer work as a teen at a local veterinary clinic and wildlife sanctuary. There, she experienced the love and reward of caring for people’s pets as well as rehabbing wildlife. Dr. Shelby says, “I got to see firsthand how special it was to care for something sick or hurt and to watch them heal and blossom back into their normal daily lives.” This was when she knew she wanted to help both people and animals and what better way than to be a vet!
We are thrilled to have Dr. Shelby on board!
