Four-Legged Staff
Raynie
|
Raynie is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd, Border Collie and Newfoundland rescue who was adopted by Dr. Rewers.
She loves greeting everyone as they arrive with a friendly bark and wagging tail. If you have a pet that is not fond of others, please let us know. Raynie is a loving puppy who wants to play with all dogs and many cats. She is still wary of people and will make her way over slowly for rubs. With Raynie's puppy antics, she helps keep the energy of the clinic light and fun. |
Sam
Sam is the newest member of the Ancient Arts family! Dr. Rewers adopted Sam as a puppy when her previous caretakers needed to find Sam a new home.
She is a Lab mix with a lot of curiosity, occasional shyness and plenty of love to give! Raynie and Sam are best friends.

Sophi (Rest in Peace)
Sophi was a 17.5 year old Australian Shepherd Mix, and a testament to the health benefits of acupuncture. Although she had some chronic health issues throughout her life, all were managed effectively through holistic means. Check out her video at age 11 enjoying the outdoors here.
Rest in peace, Nurse Sophi. Thank you for your years of service!
