This is Lucy (and Cam 😁)! Lucy's predecessor, Chevy, lived to be 16 years old! Maybe you've seen the amazing wooden artwork on our wall from this family? We are thrilled to be part of Lucy's legacy as well, and can't wait to watch her thrive!

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from Avenue of the Saints Animal Hospital, effective September 30, 2024. After 30 years of dedicated service, I have decided to embark on the next chapter of my life.

Reflecting on my time at the clinic, I am filled with gratitude for the trust and support you have extended to me. I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented and compassionate individuals in the veterinary field. Together, we have provided high-quality care to countless animals, and it has been an honor to be part of such a wonderful community.

To our valued clients, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pets' lives. Your trust and loyalty have been the cornerstone of my career, and I am profoundly grateful for the relationships we have built over the years.

As I transition into retirement, I am pleased to leave the clinic in the capable hands of the new managing veterinarian, my daughter, Dr. Jami Mallen. I have every confidence that she will continue to uphold the high standards of care that we have established, and I am confident that this legacy will continue long after my departure.

I wish Avenue of the Saints Animal Hospital continued success and growth in the years to come. May the clinic thrive and remain a beacon of hope and healing for all the animals it serves.

Thank you once again for the incredible journey. I will cherish the memories and the impact we have made together.

Warm regards,
Dr. Phyllis Strain (Frost)
Managing Veterinarian
Avenue of the Saints Animal Hospital

We were happy to help these scared but sweet cats in their time of need.
We see so many behavioral stages working in vet med. Louise was very vocal letting us know she was terrified and confused. Even though she was traumatized, she still had a deep desire for affection. No doubt they’ll settle in nicely in a loving home ♥️
and to Vintage Racers for Rescues… we told Julie from PAWS Humane Society this today as well… you are appreciated and what you do matters. Thank you
