Jackie graduated from Penn Foster this spring and passed her VTNE. She did it while leading her team day in and day out, which makes the accomplishment even better.

Congratulations, Jackie. Oak Heart is lucky to have you.

This PAWSitive Review goes to the team at Rolesville Veterinary Hospital, who showed up for a family during a seizure emergency, and kept showing up after.

“I would like to share our wonderful experience with Rolesville Veterinary Hospital. Although we had always seen it nearby, it wasn’t until an emergency that we decided to bring our dog, who suffers from seizures.

From the very first moment, we received exceptional care. The entire team—from the front desk staff to the nurses and the doctor—has been incredibly kind, professional, and compassionate. They made us feel supported during a very stressful time.

Their prices are also very reasonable, which we truly appreciate, especially considering the high quality of care they provide. Medications are always available on time, and the follow-up care for our dog has been consistent and attentive, helping improve his quality of life.

We are so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring place close to home. We highly recommend them for their excellent service, dedication, and the genuine care they show to both pets and their families.”

When Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina in 2024, our nearly finished hospital was one small piece of a much larger loss. We are grateful to the Asheville community for the resilience they have shown, and to the partners and team members who stayed with us through every setback. The need that brought us here hadn't changed, so we rebuilt.
