OUR MEDICAL TEAM

In addition to our Director of Veterinary Services and our team Veterinarians, we are blessed to partner with Middle Valley Animal Hospital in Hixson, Tennessee and Chickamauga Veterinary Clinic in Chickamauga, Georgia who take great care of not only the animals in our care but our team’s personal animals and a lot of our adoptive families take their animals to one of these two wonderful places as well!
