TESTIMONIALS

"In 2001 a very special little kitten came to stay at our house named Emma. She weighed in at a whopping 2 ½ pounds. When she was about 9 months old she began vomiting and wouldn’t eat. The doctors at Piney Creek Square Veterinary Clinic took x-rays, but nothing showed up on them. She was losing weight, and she was thin by nature anyway, so everyone was worried about her. Dr. Behrns came to the rescue and performed emergency surgery on our little girl. She found an almond trying to pass into Emma’s stomach. Of course, it would not have shown up on an x-ray. Thank you, Dr. Behrns, for saving Emma’s life."

Adopt a Pet

Adopting a pet from a shelter or a rescue group is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can have.  Walking out of the shelter or rescue with a new pet in tow is so profound because, after all, a life was just saved.  The adoption fees are minimal at animal shelters and rescues compared to what breeders charge for their pets and the money is recirculated to help other pets in need. And, to the surprise of many, there are many purebreds as well as mixes at the shelters.  Give these organizations a shot first when considering adding a new furry family member.
