We’re excited to share the heartwarming adoption story of Rex! Adopted by one of our PCAs, Alison, their journey together is so sweet and full of love that we couldn’t resist sharing it with you.

Meet Burke! 🐾 A few weeks ago, he came to see Dr. Green, our neurologist, after struggling with limited mobility in his hind legs and difficulty walking. An MRI revealed an intervertebral disc herniation and spinal cord compression. Dr. Green performed surgery to remove a significant amount of disc material, and now, just 3 weeks later, Burke is back on his feet and getting stronger every day! We’re so proud of this resilient boy and his amazing recovery journey

Last week, we had a special guest at our ER and specialty department—Hudson! He made himself right at home, almost drifting off to sleep in the cozy atmosphere. He and his owner Samantha were pleased with the exceptional customer service provided by our CSRs and kindly allowed us to share this heartwarming video with you all!

Meet Bandit! He's our new CSR here at VetSpecs. He's a little nervous...but it's only his first day!

Meet Hudson, navigating his new reality with strength and determination. 🌟 Still adjusting to life in a wheelchair, but every step forward is a milestone. Today, he approached his family with a quiet resolve, marking progress in his journey. 💪 Despite a spinal injury in February, Hudson is undergoing rehab to regain his mobility with our rehabilitation practitioner Krista O'Brien. He's rocking his walking wheels wheelchair! Way to go Hudson!

Meet Taffy, she's a 7-month-old poodle mix! Krista, our rehabilitation practitioner is putting her through the puppy paces with strength training and conditioning exercises. Watch her nail the puppy version of "push ups." We're excited to watch along as she grows stronger with Krista's help!
