Five years ago, Logan Stafford joined the team and it’s hard to imagine our ER without her now.
As our ER Practice Manager, she doesn’t just run things she holds it all together with grit, consistency, and a whole lot of heart.
Outside of work, that same dedication shines through in how much she loves and cares for her animals and her two boys they’re truly at the center of everything she does.
Logan, thank you for the countless ways you show up for your team and our patients every single day. Your impact is bigger than you probably realize. Here’s to 5 years and everything still ahead.

🐾 We are here to help and are actively seeking foster homes for dogs in need. If you’re unable to foster, donations to support their care and feeding are always appreciated.

Every bit helps, and every share makes a difference. 🐶🐴🔥

We want to give the biggest thank you to everyone who came in early, stayed late, and jumped in to help with setting up and breaking down for our Jumbo Shrimp event. Because of your teamwork, positive energy, and willingness to help wherever needed, the event was not only smooth and successful, but genuinely fun from start to finish.
It truly took a village and you all showed up. The turnout was great, the atmosphere was amazing, and let’s be honest… the pups absolutely stole the show 🐶💙. So many cute faces and happy tails made the day even more special.
Thank you for giving your time, effort, and support to make this such a great outcome. Events like this remind us how lucky we are to work with such a dedicated, compassionate, and dependable team. Couldn’t have done it without you all!
👏💙⚾🐾
