Dr. Tracy Thorpe

"I became a veterinarian to improve the quality of life for pets and their human families. I love this career and cannot imagine doing anything else. Veterinary medicine is the perfect way for me to combine my love of animals with my love of science and medicine. I believe the animals need us to be their voice and caregiver to assure them a long, happy, healthy life free from pain, disease, fear and stress. I treat each of them as if they are my own. I assisted in founding Paradise Animal Rescue in 2001. My family consists of two-legged children and four-legged children including dogs, cats, ducks and chickens."
