The loss of a pet is very difficult. Our relationships with animals are remarkably intimate and mutually supportive, as they love us 'no strings attached,' hold our secrets, and accept us 'just as we are.' When our daily routines include pets, the loss can be profoundly disruptive to our sense of home, sense of safety, sense of purpose, and sense of identity. If you need help during your grieving journey, we hope you find one of these resources valuable: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/grief-and-bereavement---loss-of-a-pethttps://www.humanesociety.org/resources/how-cope-death-your-pet

Leo was more than just a dog; he was our best friend and a beloved part of our family. For eight years, he filled our lives with joy and love.

Leo went to Clemson with Dylan and Lacey, where he quickly became the life of the party, making new friends wherever he went. His friendly paw would tap you gently if you stopped petting him, a clear sign that he wasn’t done soaking up all the love he could get. Everyone who met Leo fell in love with him, and it’s no surprise—he had a way of making everyone feel like they were his best friend.

He had a special bond with each of us. His favorite moments were spent with Lacey on Cayuga Lake, either riding on the jet-ski or feeling the breeze while on the boat, his ears flapping in the wind. He was also Dylan’s “little buddy”, always eager for a game of tug-of-war, showing off his incredible strength. And when it came to his mom, he couldn’t get enough of those ear rubs, leaning in with complete trust and contentment.

He was happiest outdoors—sunbathing, running, or swimming, especially swimming. Water was his favorite, and he never missed a chance to dive in, whether it was at the lake or during his visit to the beach in South Carolina last year, which he absolutely loved.

But more than anything, Leo was gentle and sweet, especially with children. He had a kindness in him that was rare, always patient and loving, no matter the situation. He would sit at the base of Dad's recliner, looking up with those soulful eyes until he got the attention he craved.

We are deeply thankful to Dr. Bocek and the team at Day Hollow Animal Hospital for their tireless dedication to Leo's care. Their guidance led us to Dr. Merkhassine and the compassionate staff at Colonial, who supported us through Leo’s battle with liver disease. Losing him at such a young age has been incredibly painful, but the care and efforts of these wonderful people meant everything to us.

Leo’s spirit will forever be with us, in every sunbeam, every ripple of water, and every gentle breeze. He was our sweet little guy, and we will miss him more than words can express.
--Leo's family

Meet Kim...
Kim comes to us with more than 20 years of experience in both large animal and small animal medicine. After growing up outside of Chicago, Kim moved to Las Vegas where she met her husband. They moved to South Texas where they raised their family and Kim worked as a veterinary technician in small animal practice and then a mixed animal clinic serving the rural ranches of the Rio Grande Valley. She also worked as a practice manager in the only animal emergency clinic in the region. With all her experience, Kim was chosen to lead the local humane society as the Executive Director where she spent 10 years serving the community. All while producing Missouri Fox Trotter horses and managing her menagerie of birds and exotic pets. Kim and her husband escaped the South Texas heat and moved to New York to be closer to family. When she is not in the clinic, focused on supporting our clients and staff, Kim spends her time figuring out how to entertain her giant breed dogs, caring for her horses and serving as a board member on several non-profit organizations. She is looking forward to exploring the finger lakes area and visiting her 8 grandchildren.
Welcome to the VCA Colonial Team Kim! We appreciate all that you do!

Meet Kendall, our newest CSR team member!

Hi, my name is Kendall, I have two fur babies, Brody and Phoebe. I used to spend a lot of time doing dog agility with Brody, but I don't do it as much anymore as he is getting older and would prefer a good nap. I love the outdoors, especially when I'm out riding horses. I love spending time with family and friends. I play softball, golf, and I bowl. In the winter, I love skiing, and in the summer, I like to spend as much time on the lake as I can or go on adventures with friends. VCA gives me the opportunity to expand my knowledge as one day I hope to become a licensed vet technician. I have always had animals growing up and could not imagine a world without them.

We are so happy that Kendall has joined our team!

❤️
