Meet Birdie! 🐾 With her gorgeous silver-coated face and the sweetest, droopiest hound eyes, this girl completely stole our hearts during her wellness exam with Dr. Marcia Carpenter at Family Friends Veterinary Hospital.

Birdie was an absolute angel for her entire visit—teeth, ears, eyes, and even a breezy nail trim with help from her devoted foster mom, Auna. After nearly a year in foster care, Birdie is ready to find a cozy couch of her very own.

A little about Birdie:
🐾 People-focused: Goofy, loving, and will roll right over for belly rubs from anyone she meets!
🧠 Smart & eager: Loves going for strolls and learning new things.
🐱 Small animal friendly: Wonderful with cats, small pets, and even chickens!
🏡 Ideal home: Prefers an adult/older-kid home where she is your one-and-only dog to soak up all the love and attention she deserves.
🩺 Fully spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her shots!

📲 Ready to meet your new best friend? Visit Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue’s page/website to learn more about Birdie and submit an adoption application today! 🐶❤️

Happy Welcome Wednesday! If you need a mid-week serotonin boost, you are exactly in the right place. We couldn't wait to introduce you to this undeniably cute crew of new patients! 📸 Swipe to meet the newest members of the FFVH family:

🐶Dolly (13-week-old Border Collie): In for her first puppy wellness visit with Dr. Remakel since being rescued! Pictured getting some extra love in LVT Annalyse's arms, this sweet girl was named after the legendary Dolly Parton, who we are sadly remembering this week 💔

🐕Gemma (4-month-old Golden Retriever): Back for her second visit and next round of vaccines. She was such a wiggly, happy girl during her exam!

🦮Millie Mae (11-week-old Golden Retriever): Had her very first visit with Dr. Self since joining her new family, and was a remarkably good girl for her tech, Annalyse.

🐩Matilda "Tilly" (12-week-old Cavapoo): Visited us for her first puppy wellness exam and soaked up plenty of love from ERT Brook and the rest of the team!

Some days at the office are just a little bit fluffier than others! ❤️

Dr. Ryan Carpenter and technician Sarah definitely had their hands full with this beautiful crew of SEVEN 7-week-old German Shepherds! Getting to care for sweet, healthy litters like this during their early puppy wellness exams is exactly why we love what we do here.

A new week means a new Clinic Crush! Meet Pixie! 😍✨

This 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel x Poodle cross came in for her annual wellness visit and was the absolute happiest, smiliest girl.

She made everyone's day by trotting through the hospital and greeting every single person she passed. We've known her since her very first puppy visit back in 2020, and she has been a staff favorite ever since!

We love you, Pixie! 💕
