Founded in 1979, Forney Animal Hospital
has provided veterinary services to the
Forney Community for over 30 years. Since
the partnership of Lucille Nix, DVM and
Jeffery Pruitt, DVM gained ownership in
2007, Forney Animal Hospital has strived for
excellence in the service of veterinary
medicine. Dr. Nix also stays active in the
Forney Community, allowing student
volunteers to observe the practice. She is a
member of the Animal Shelter Community
and was happy to host the Pet Palooza in
2011. Dr. Nix is a member of the Chamber of
Commerce and supports the community
with property taxes. As the City of Forney
has grown and prospered, Forney Animal
Hospital has grown as well, allowing the
practice to accommodate patients in a more
timely manner. In July 2009, Forney Animal
Hospital held the grand opening of a stateof-
the-art 8,000 sq ft facility.

“The exchange of ownership and our new
facility has only helped us to continue to love
and care for our patients, as well strengthen
and build new relationships with our clients.”

Every surgery starts long before the first incision. It starts with a veterinary technician who has spent years mastering their skills, anticipating needs, monitoring vitals, and showing up fully prepared for every patient who comes through the door.

Vet techs are the heart of every OR team, and their skill and dedication make a difference every single day. At some VCA specialty hospitals, we take surgical collaboration even further. Some of our teams include Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) — professionals who earned specialized degrees specifically to support surgeons in the OR.

The result? Less time under anesthesia. Better outcomes. And a team that truly works as one. 💙

Because every patient is somebody's pet — and they deserve nothing less than the best.

🐾 The evolution of pain management as a clinical outcome
📊 Preventative care shifting toward predictive medicine
🤝 Team-based care and empowering credentialed technicians
🧠 Why the future belongs to those with not just IQ and EQ — but AQ: adaptability quotient

We are proud to partner with the SPCA of Texas to help newly adopted pets start off strong in their new homes. Through our Healthy Start program, each pet receives a free initial exam and personalized care, support, and guidance from our teams.

Meet this week's Monday Mutt Crush, Thor! Thor has the kind of face that makes you want to stop, kneel down beside him and whisper, “You’re safe now, buddy.” With his gorgeous, fluffy coat, warm loving smile and soulful eyes, this handsome 7-year-old German Shepherd mix has a quiet sweetness that reaches straight into your heart.

At 72 pounds, Thor is a big boy with an especially gentle spirit. He isn’t looking for a whirlwind of excitement or a house full of commotion. What Thor seems to want most is something wonderfully simple: a quiet place, a kind person and the chance to finally feel safe.

Once Thor knows he can trust you, you’ll discover what a special companion he is. A foster who spent time with him couldn’t say enough good things about this beautiful boy, describing him as fantastic, calm, sweet and obedient. Those are the kinds of words that tell you there is so much goodness tucked beneath that fluffy coat.

Thor may be 7 years old, but he has plenty of love left to give. In fact, he may be at the perfect age for someone who appreciates the beauty of a dog who has grown past the puppy crazies and is ready to simply enjoy being your loyal companion. Imagine coming home after a long day and finding Thor waiting with that wonderful smile. Imagine peaceful walks, quiet afternoons and the comforting presence of a dog who is happiest simply knowing he is with his person.

As an SPCA of Texas Senior Sweetheart—a pet age six or older—Thor’s adoption fee is FREE, which means there’s no reason to wait!

Sometimes the dogs who need us most aren’t asking for much. They’re asking for patience. They’re asking for kindness. They’re asking for someone willing to see past their uncertainty and give them the time they need to bloom.

Thor is waiting for that someone.

If your heart has room for a gentle soul who deserves to know what love and security feel like, come meet Thor. You can visit hm from Noon to 6 p.m. every day at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, Dallas, 75212). Thor has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines.

Maybe the safe place he’s been waiting for is with you.

Meet this week's Mutt Crush Monday, Cash! Cash is an 8-year-old Hound mix with the kind of face that makes you want to stop everything, sit beside him, and say, “Well hello there, handsome!” Just look at those big floppy ears, soulful dark eyes, and sweet smile. Cash has mastered the art of looking both wise and absolutely adorable at the same time.

At 47 pounds, Cash is a wonderful companion-sized gentleman with a heart that is even bigger than his ears. He has a fun-loving spirit and an easygoing personality that makes being around him feel wonderfully uncomplicated. Cash enjoys getting out and exploring, especially when there are interesting smells waiting to be investigated. After all, he is a Hound, and the world is basically one giant mystery written in scents!

But Cash isn’t all about adventure. He’s also perfectly happy to slow things down and spend time with his favorite people. A leisurely stroll, a little sniffing, some quality companionship, and a cozy place to relax sound like a pretty fantastic day to this sweet boy.

Cash is the kind of dog who seems to understand that the best things in life are simple: being near someone you love, having a little fun, feeling safe, and knowing you belong. He’s loyal, gentle, playful, and ready to share all that love with someone special.

Cash is looking for a Foster to Adopt family while awaiting a dental procedure. Fostering with the SPCA of Texas is FREE—we provide all the food, bowls, toys, medications, medical care, etc. Cash’s foster family will simply provide love and bring him in for a few scheduled veterinary appointments before he’s ready to put his best smile forward. It’s a small step toward helping this handsome fellow feel his absolute best.

And here’s another reason to fall for Cash. Once he’s ready, as a Senior Sweetheart—a pet age 6 or older—his adoption fee will be FREE!

Could those soulful eyes be looking straight at you? Come meet Cash and see if this sweet Hound mix is the gentle, loyal companion your heart has been waiting for.

Visit him from Noon to 6 p.m. every day at the SPCA of Texas Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center (2400 Lone Star Dr, Dallas, 75212). Cash has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines.

Cash is ready to sniff out his next great adventure. We hope it leads straight to you.
