In Loving Memory of Milo
Milo Feliz
Forever our furry staff
Milo was more than our furry staff. He was family. With his big heart, even bigger ears and those famous puppy eyes, he brought comfort and joy to everyone who walked through our doors.
​
He made a huge impact on our team and our clients. He calmed nervous hearts, brought out countless smiles, and reminded us every day that love and healing often come in the smallest, softest forms.
​
Our halls feel a little quieter without him, but his love stays with us in every corner of this clinic. Thank you, Milo, for everything you gave us. We will always love you.
