Tomorrow is my last day at Riser Animal Hospital after 10+ years of it being my second home. I’ll never forget the memories I made within the walls of that building. I made this video as a testament to the times I shared with the people I love the most.

Signing off with love,
Mel 💕

It comes with much sadness announcing that Saturday 3/30 will be our beloved CSR Mel’s last day at Riser Animal Hospital. Many of us have had the pleasure of watching Mel grow over the last 10 years. She advanced her skills and knowledge in the Human Animal Bond and in End-of-Life Care. While we are so sad to see her move on, we are excited for all the wonderful things ahead of her.
Mel we will miss your kind, compassionate, and empathetic ways. We wish you the best. Thank you for all your dedication and contribution to the veterinary field these last 10 years.

Help us give her a beautiful farewell. Join us on Saturday at Three Counties Irish Pub after 6PM!
