Located at 15601 W Bell Rd, Ste 204, Surprise, Arizona 85374, Purrfurred Pets Veterinary Clinic serves the health care needs of dogs, cats, and other animals throughout Surprise and its surrounding communities.
I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. Dogs & Cats are at the top of my list of favorite animals. I knew early on that I wanted to be in a position where I could work with these amazing creatures and be able to help them and their human families.
After working in the animal service industry for many years, I knew in my heart that it was time for me to set out and offer my own brand of quality veterinarian services at honest, fair prices.
Here at Purrfurred Pets Veterinary Clinic, we offer a wide range of animal health services which include, but are not limited to complete health exams, dental services, immunizations, neutering/spaying, and other related services.
So if you are in Surprise, AZ, and are in need of trusted animal health services you can count on, there’s only one name to remember – Purrfurred Pets Veterinary Clinic!
– Dr. Ann Smith
Owner
Dr. Ann Smith was born in Atlanta Georgia. Breaking tradition from her family, she decided to attend the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), earning her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, and a Masters of Science in Wellness. After earning her master’s, she wanted to work as a Veterinary Technician and did so for five years in Tupelo Mississippi. In 2003 she was accepted into Mississippi State’s School of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2007 with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.
Before opening Purrfurred Pets, Dr. Ann worked in private practice veterinary clinics, shelter medicine, emergency clinics, as well as private practice spay/neuter clinics. One of her passions is spay/neuter surgery, which she knows is a key component in controlling pet overpopulation.
Dr. Ann has five dogs and one cat. Of course, if you ask Dr. Ann’s dog Tina…she only has one dog… Tina, and four pests! And Tina agrees to one cat!
In her off time, Dr. Ann likes to ride her motorcycle, hike, run, and camp when possible. Her lifelong goal is to travel the world and run a marathon!
Dr. Ann’s husband Shawn manages the practice…but Dr. Ann remains the Boss!!
Paula grew up on a farm in Poland. She always wanted to have a career in Veterinary Medicine. As a child, she brought home all the strays and injured pets, which she cared for herself. While working as a veterinary assistant in 2011, she attended Veterinary Technician Institute at Fox College, where she graduated with honors and received her certification for Certified Veterinary Technician in 2012.
In her free time, Paula enjoys hiking, camping, horseback riding as well as spending time with her husband, their 2 sons, Max (black lab) and Tara (Saint Bernard).
Seccily has a son, and 2 dogs (Arthur and Whozie) whom she enjoys spending time with. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with dogs and her boyfriend, usually taking day trips and going to new places around Arizona.
Shawna started out volunteering at a Veterinary Clinic in Connecticut and decided that becoming a vet tech was her calling in life. After moving back to Texas, she started working in a clinic as a receptionist and 2 months later was being trained hands-on as a veterinary technician.
Shawna is a Coast Guard Veteran wife and Army mom. In her free time, she likes to craft and play video games with her husband. She has 4 dogs, Serenity-Boxer, Daphne-pit bull (pictured), Jelly Bean the grand beagle, and Katy Furry-teacup Pomeranian.
The passion of Cookie’s life is training dogs. She has been training dogs since 1981 and has competed in Obedience, Rally, Herding, and Agility trials. At the present time, she has a rottweiler/terrier mix, and two border collies. Her two border collies are presently in training to compete in agility and some herding.
She loves to talk to clients, that come into the clinic, about the possibilities of what their dog can accomplish.
As a receptionist, Cordelia is gaining a lot of experience in our clinic and the spay and neuter clinics. She is hoping to turn that experience into a possible future career as a veterinary technician.
Cordelia loves to spend time in the outdoors camping or hiking in the northern parts of Arizona. If she isn’t out camping, she loves going on road trips with her family to Montana and Colorado to ski and drive snowmobiles. When she is on a staycation, Cordelia enjoys watching her favorite t.v. shows, playing video games, cuddling with Loki, or reading a good book.
Brandi has worked at large and small animal clinics and has had some amazing opportunities to work with uncommon creatures such as mountain lions, bears, skunks, and kangaroos.
Brandi has always had a love for animals large and small. In her free time, she and her family enjoy road trips, hiking, and spending weekends at her dad’s ranch riding quads, horses, and tending cattle.
