ADOPTED 3/6

We rarely post a dog twice.

The reason is simple: Our community shows up. Every single time. You adopt the shy ones, the energetic ones, the older ones, the goofy ones, the ones who just need a chance. Because of you, the average dog stays with us for less than two weeks before going home. That’s something we never take for granted, and it’s something we’re incredibly grateful for.

But every once in a while, there’s a dog who needs just a little more help from all of us.

You might remember Princess. We shared her story a few weeks ago. Her owner loved her very much, but he was struggling with his health and could no longer give her the care she needed. Making the decision to surrender her was heartbreaking for him, and it was a big change for Princess, too.

Princess is blind, and the shelter was overwhelming for her. Imagine suddenly being in a place filled with unfamiliar sounds, smells, and voices when you can’t see where anything is coming from. It was a lot. Thankfully, we were able to find her a foster home, and it has made all the difference.

In foster care, Princess has truly blossomed. Her foster mom describes her as the sweetest dog ever. With a stable environment and someone she can trust, her anxiety has melted away. She loves following her foster mom around the house, listening to her voice, and soaking up as many butt scratches and cuddles as she can get.

Originally, we thought Princess might need to be the only animal in the home because navigating other pets can be stressful for a blind dog. But she surprised us. In foster care, she’s done very well with a calm dog companion and has mostly ignored the cats (aside from a little curious sniff here and there). We would still recommend a calm home with mellow pets, or one where she can be the queen of the castle.

Princess has now been in our care for over a month. She’s been incredibly brave through all of these changes, and we’re so proud of how far she’s come. But what she truly wants, and what she deserves, is stability. A home. A person who will be hers.

So today we’re asking our community for a little extra help.

If you can’t adopt Princess, please consider sharing her story. The right person might just be one share away. And if you think you might be the home she’s been waiting for, please click the link below to learn more and contact her foster mom.

This sweet eight-year-old girl has so much love left to give. Let’s make sure March is the month Princess finds her castle, and the happily ever after she deserves.

Fascinating

There is no reason to use force or fear to train dogs. And make no mistake: e collars deliver electric shock in order to motivate dogs via pain and startle. You don't need them.

FIVE YEARS.

And just like that… we’re celebrating FIVE whole years of Fox Run Veterinary Hospital.

It feels like just yesterday we opened our doors with a whole lot of hope, a little fear, and a dream that had been growing louder and louder until I couldn’t ignore it any longer. Five years later, I’m still chasing that dream—now with 29 of the most passionate, dedicated, hilarious, hard-working humans by my side.

In five years we’ve:

Grown from a tiny team of 4 to a family of 29
Cared for thousands of pets and supported the humans who love them in our Monument community.
Built and moved into our own 5,000 sq ft space
Stayed locally owned in a profession increasingly shaped by corporate buyouts
Danced in the treatment room, cried in the breakroom, and belly-laughed in every space in between
Made plenty of mistakes, learned hard lessons, and gotten a little better every single day
Weathered a pandemic, burnout, supply shortages, and the ever-changing tide of veterinary medicine
Still managed to show up with heart, humor, and grit—every damn day

I am endlessly grateful:

To my team—you are the heartbeat of this place. Thank you for trusting me, challenging me, and choosing to do this hard and beautiful work alongside me.

To my husband, who continues to hold it all down at home. You have supported this dream with more patience and love than I can ever repay.

To our clients—you are my “why.” Thank you for entrusting us with your fur family and for being part of this wild, wonderful ride. Your kindness, loyalty, and belief in us means everything.

I won’t pretend every day has been easy. It hasn’t. But it’s been real, and it’s been worth it.

Five years in. No regrets. All heart. And we are just getting started.
– Dr. Kocher

This week, Officer Womack and Officer Tait responded to a call about two Pitbulls running loose near the 7000 block of North Academy Blvd. The dogs, scared and overheated after breaking and escaping through a fence, were gently approached by the officers, who both happen to have a love for animals. With a little cheese and a lot of patience, the officers were able to gain the pups’ trust and get them to safety.

They gave them fresh water and stayed with them until their owner arrived, who had been frantically searching for them.

These two big softies were just frightened and thirsty, and thankfully, they crossed paths with two officers who went above and beyond to help. Thank you, Officer Womack and Officer Tait, for looking out for all community members, even the four-legged ones. 🐶
