Meet Charlie

Charlie just started visiting Avondale, and gets SO much attention when he walks through the door! He’s a 3 month-old Cairn terrier, and is definitely a little “ladies’ man”.

Our thanks to Erica Pint Hayen for these precious photos!

Meet Fern

Fern is a little over a week old, and was abandoned by her mother. I felt that I had no choice but to take care of her (5/20/10). She is now opening her eyes, and is as active as can be. She is very vocal and she is such a sweetheart. The first picture is of Fern on 5/21/10, the morning after I got her. She wanted so badly to get out of that basket. The second picture is of Fern on 5/25/10 using the bottle for one of the first times. She is quite an eater.

Special thanks to Avondale Vet for helping me raise this little one. The doctors have guided me through the process of raising this little sweetheart.

Our thanks to Michael W. Meyer for these precious photos!

Meet Leila

This is Leila, my Persian kitten. She is only 3 months old.

Meet Thomas Owens

Thomas Owens is a former resident cat of the Avondale Cat Hospital. He was Adopted from the Cat Hospital in 2001 by Debbie & Arthur Owens. His veterinarian is Dr. Kyle Malter.

Thomas enjoyed his time living at the Cat Hospital, but now he hates to go back for his check-ups and boarding times. During his medical visits he growls at everyone who touches him. He especially hates having his temperature taken! At home he's a very happy cat who spends his time snuggling with Debbie in the recliner, licking his catnip fish, and in the summer lounging on the screened porch.

Our thanks to Arthur & Debra Owens for this great photo!

Meet Bo

Bo and I want to say, “thank you” to Dr. Malter and the amazing staff at Avondale

for the great care and kindness.

Thank you from Kisten Wilson

Meet Buster

Attached is a photo of Buster, a patient of Dr. Robbie Koons at Avondale Veterinary Healthcare Complex. Buster was adopted from Animal Lifeline of Iowa. He was an injured stray and is FIV positive.

Meet Franklin

Franklin goes to the Avondale Veterinary Clinic and loves Dr. Woodruff. His big sister Eleanor is trying to teach him the rules of the house along with some bad habits - see the shoe on his bed :) He's such a loving puppy that is content to spend most of his time on our laps, although as he grows its going to be more and more difficult!

Our thanks to Lance & Deanna Koch for this great photo!

Meet Cheyenne

It was a wonderful day in our lives when we walked into the ARL and fell in love with this beautiful redhead. Miss Cheyenne is now 10 ears old and is still convinced she is an 80 pound lap dog. Cheyenne has been coming to Avondale ever since we adopted her. She is famous for "singing" to the staff.

Our thanks to Curtis & Victoria Crooks for this great picture!

Meet Ryanna

Here's "Ryanna", a 1 year old English Mastiff and patient of Dr. Malter at Avondale Healthcare Complex. As you can she when there’s the scent of a treat in the air, Ryanna’s tongue goes into action. She has been a patient of the Avondale Veterinary Healthcare Complex since she was 6 weeks old. She’s now 16 months old. She loves Dr. Malter and Dr. Woodruff, as well as her “Aunt” Jackie and all of the staff. Ryanna has been going to Avondale since moving to Des Moines in 1999.

Our thanks to Bill Lenway for this wonderful photo!
