We’re pet people too.

As pet parents ourselves, we know the bond you share with yours is special and one-of-a-kind. Pets are family. They rely on you to care for them day-to-day, and you can rely on us to provide compassionate care when called.

Meet Rue

Hi, I’m Rue! I’m a rescue pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. My DNA test says I’m a mix of French Bulldog (29%), Boxer (18%), Bulldog (16%), and Cattle Dog (13%), but my humans just say I’m 100% adorable. With my brown and white coat, floppy ears, and expressive eyes, I’ve mastered the art of melting hearts—especially at the vet clinic, where I spend my days “working.”
