Sobe, Australian Cattle Dog (in fond memory of)
Sobe’s name is short for “social butterfly.” She first came to the Clinic in 2011 when she needed a new home and help with an injured hip. We were honored to give her both. Since then, she has won us all over with her charm, social nature and sweet personality. She’s ridiculously smart and very quiet. She loves everybody…and the stem cell transplants that helped her hip so that she doesn’t need orthopedic surgery!
Nate, Box Turtle
Nate was found by a nice little boy who took him away from kids who were kicking him down the street. He’s been in our care and entertaining kids our sunny lobby for about fifteen years.
Mira, Siamese Cat
Mira (pronounced MEE-rah) found her home with us in the summer of 2018 after she was surrendered to a northern Colorado clinic. She had been attacked by a fox and was transferred to us with some brain and cranial nerve issues, unable to blink her left eye and running in circles to the left. She was a very docile kitten, but after a full recovery she is full of personality. She must have been born under a lucky star, so her name comes from the common name for Omicron Ceti, the most notable star in the constellation Cetus. Mira means “wonderful, astonishing” in Latin—which she is!
