Two years ago today we opened Fur Buds After Hours Vet Clinic doors to the public. It has been a great journey. Growing up in Puerto Rico wanting to be a Vet seemed a very distant dream to me. Becoming a Vet meant having to leave Puerto Rico to get my degree. It was a very risked and adventourous journey for a 20 yr old to leave her family and culture behind and come to the USA withouth being able to speak the language. I had one goal in mind, to become a Vet. My inspiration? As cheesy as it sounds.... Dr. Dolittles 1970s cartoon. I always admired how he communicated with and took care of the animals at his farm. .... anyways, I had the honor to be admitted to Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. I love farm animals, always thought I would be a large animal veterinarian upon graduating. Life spun in a different direction and I became a small animal practitioner, a decision I have never regreted. Upon graduation I worked part time at a local Vet Clinic and due to student loan obligations, I also worked at an Emergency Clinic. Soon I realized that our area did not have a local veterinary facility other than the Vet School; Fur Buds was born... Two years today we opened up our door to this amazing community. We still remeber the first time a client walked in... we all rushed to help them... they probably thought we were crazy. It has been a great journey, one filled with ups and downs, but never give ups. We have been blessed with people that have made this possible. I thank God first for making this possible. I also thank to every person in my path for making me a better individual. I thank to a great elite group of employees and to the local community for giving us the best gift, for trusting us taking care of your loved furry friends. My goal as a business owner is to continue provide excellent medical care for your pets needs and to help you understand your pets problems. In great thankfulness, Dr. Marisel
