Running a Sanctuary the right way takes a village and one of the most important aspects of the village are the veterinarians that support what we do. We are profoundly grateful to have so many compassionate professionals working to provide the Sanctuary animals with whatever they need to live long, happy and high-quality lives.
Dr. Tom Zulandt, owner of Madison Veterinary Hospital is our small animal, general practice veterinarian. A highly experienced and respected surgeon, he not only provides them with biannual routine care such as physical and wellness exams, age-appropriate blood tests, urinalyses and fecals, he’s also our frontline vet when one of them is sick or injured, needs a dental or any other surgery. Our perennial rock, supporter and teacher, Dr. Tom continues to have the most paws-itive impact on the life of every dog and cat in our Sanctuary. Dr. Alyson Deak, another trusted veterinarian at Madison Veterinary Hospital, performs ultrasounds and provides medical care, as needed, to the small animals in our care. |
We also employ several small animal, board-certified vet specialists to treat dogs and cats with more complex medical needs.
Dr. Alan Hammer, owner of Northcoast Veterinary Specialist treats those with heart issues, cancer, and difficult-to-diagnose illnesses. Dr. Neal Sivula, owner of Dancing Paws Animal Wellness Center and past president of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, helps our animals manage chronic pain and movement difficulties through chiropractic and acupuncture, and works with those whose conditions don’t respond to traditional medical approaches. Dr. Emily Conway, a veterinarian ophthalmologist at VCA Great Lakes tends to our animals’ complicated and hard-to-diagnose eye problems. OSU Veterinary Medical Center deals with our animals’ serious orthopedic issues. The horses also receive the same species-appropriate care as the dogs and cats, and we’re fortunate in having such a knowledgeable and caring equine vet to work with them. Dr. Jessica Bittner, of Countryside Veterinary Service is tasked with treating our large four hoofed friends. Her compassion and expertise has been a godsend for the horses. She has taught us so much about proper equine care and is always ready to answer our questions, provide sage advice, rejoice when things are improving, and provide comfort when it's time to end pain and suffering. Jess, of Three Tree Healing Arts is a Reiki master who helps all of our animals find relief from their immediate pain and past traumas. |
A Pulsed Signal Therapy Machine, donated by Dr. Neal Sivula of Dancing Paws Animal Wellness Center, helps alleviate pain from such conditions as arthritis and tendonitis and helps rejuvenate damaged tissue.
