"Helping care for animals is my biggest passion. Pets are family, so my goal is to treat every pet as if they are my own."

Dr. Carrie Nunnery was born and raised in Summit. She is a graduate of Parklane Academy, Southwest Mississippi Community College, and Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. She loves being able to help animals in need so she is very involved with multiple local animal shelters. She has several rescue dogs and cats and loves spending time with her family and friends. She also plays clarinet with the Ole Brook Wind Symphony and loves going to concerts and traveling.

"I love being able to care for animals especially the ones that need extra TLC. The best thing about my job is helping the most challenging cases improve and seeing them evolve into an entirely new and happy pet."

Heather has been Dr. Carrie's technician for the past 14 years, and has been in the veterinary field for over 20 years. She has a great love and compassion for animals - especially Boxers and their wiggly butts! Heather is great at helping owners understand the care needed for their beloved pet. She lives with two dogs both adopted from one of our local animal shelter and three cats who are rescues.

Nellie is Dr. Carrie's rat terrier who is ultimately the BOSS at the clinic. She was adopted from a local animal shelter and has been entertaining the clinic ever since. Nellie loves belly rubs and dancing for treats. She is known as the "circus dog" because she is so talented at twirling. 

Pickle is our clinic kitty and has been at the clinic since the second week of us opening. Pickle loves being held and getting hugs. She also loves chasing a laser light and playing with feather toys. Pickle loves when people, especially children, come to play with her.

Ava Grace is Dr. Nunnery’s newest baby who was also adopted from one of our local animal shelters.  She is a chihuahua/jack Russell terrier/beagle mix who is absolutely full of energy!  She has the most unusual facial expressions and loves her big sister, Nellie.  She of course also loves for people to visit her so they can give her treats.
