🐾 We need your help! 🐾

As many of you know, Dr. Vargas spent years organizing and working spay & neuter clinics in Guatemala when her kids were younger. This November, she’s going back to her roots and heading to Cambodia with World Vets! 🇰🇭❤️

We’re hoping to send her with some supplies to help the animals she’ll be caring for. We are collecting new or gently used collars and leashes to take with her.

If you have any to donate, please drop them off at Culpeper Animal Hospital by November 1st!

Thank you for helping us support Dr. Vargas and the animals she’ll be helping! 🐶🐱❤️

❤️🐾 Meet Prixie! 🐾❤️
A couple of weeks ago, I adopted Prixie, a 15-year-old Pit Bull, from Greene County Animal Shelter. She was found as a stray, underweight, covered in fleas, and with a mass that had ruptured. They gave her the care she needed to address the fleas and had her mass removed, it healed beautifully!
When someone sent me her photo (Thanks, Winter and Danielle!), I got the feels and knew I had to meet her. It took about five minutes for us to know Prixie was coming home with us. ❤️
Once she was home, we realized she was struggling to eat—even canned food seemed difficult for her. Dr. Vargas and I agreed that a dental would make a huge difference in her comfort and quality of life, which is exactly what this sweet old lady deserved.
Five days and seven tooth extractions later, Prixie is a NEW GIRL! 🥹❤️
She is now begging for snacks nonstop, has politely claimed her favorite spot on the couch, and has decided that the space underneath my desk at work belongs to her, too. 😂
Prixie's story is a reminder of just how important dental care is, especially for our senior pets. 🦷🐾
Dogs and cats are incredibly good at hiding pain. Showing weakness goes against their natural instincts, so they may continue eating, wagging their tails, and going about their day even when their mouths hurt. Sometimes, the signs are subtle—a change in eating habits, less interest in hard food, or simply not acting quite like themselves.
Prixie was struggling more than we realized and relieving that discomfort has made such a difference. Age alone shouldn't mean our pets have to live with dental pain. With proper veterinary care, we can help our senior pets stay comfortable and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.
A huge thank-you to Greene County Animal Shelter for loving Prixie and caring for her until she found her way to us. We are so grateful that we get to give this sweet girl the happy, comfortable life she deserves.
We are so in love with you, Prixie. Here's to the next chapter!

Keep those tails wagging, even indoors! 🐶 Mental stimulation, sniffing games, interactive toys, and short training sessions are great ways to add a little extra enrichment to your dog's day.

Courtney and her family saved this girl! Prixie now has a chance to live out her life in a loving home!! Thank you guys, the best!! 🐾💕

Senior girl Prixie found a home🥹
Prixie even smiled for her adoption photo❤️
We believe this photo speaks for itself as this family opened their home and hearts to a senior dog that truly wanted to feel love of a family once again. Prixie is one very very happy girl now. Prixie came in our care after being found stray by animal control with no one coming forward to claim her. Prixie was underweight and infested with fleas when entering our shelter. We grew to love Prixie during her time at our shelter as senior dogs in animal shelters usually can be harder to place. Prixie blossomed through her time in our care and we are grateful we got this girl the medical she needed as she had a rectal/perianal mass that needed to be removed. Prixie did great in her kennel while watching cartoons and enjoying her daily love she got from shelter staff during her stay and especially during her healing time. Prixie will never feel unloved as from the first day she entered our shelter it was all changed for this senior girl. Prixie’s new mom even works at a veterinary office so some days Prixie even gets to go to work with mom. This family deserves so much praise as they not only gave a shelter dog a home, but a senior pittie who needed them just as much as they needed her. Prixie has been living her best life for over a week now in her new home. We thank you for adopting and we wish all the fun times with Prixie as she is truly one special girl! Happy life to our Prixie who we loved so much❤️
