a. Awesome Louie

Louie showed up and followed an employee into Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital in November 2012.  He was sweet and full grown, yet he was not fixed.  We searched for an owner with no luck.  After testing for diseases and neutering Louie, we sought to find him a new home.  However, Louie had claimed Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital as his home & family and now lives here full-time.  Here daily to greet the pets and people as they arrive, he is well suited to be a humble ambassador for us.  Louie is loved by all who meet him.

a. Cam

Cam is owned by Dr. Orr's oldest son, Dustin, who is also a veterinarian. He is thought to be a mix between a Corgi and a Chihuahua. Cam was originally found wandering the streets of Concord by an elderly woman who rescued him when he was just a little puppy! However, due to his energetic and playful attitude at that age, she felt she couldn't properly take care of him and brought him in to the animal hospital to see if anyone could adopt him. Dustin, a veterinary student at the time, developed a bond with Cam and decided it was time to have a pet of his own. Cam's original name was Bootz, but Dustin, being a huge Carolina Panthers fan, decided to change his name to Cam after Cam Newton the Panthers new star quarterback. So far that has turned out to be a lucky name! Cam actually now resides with Dustin in the beautiful coastal town of Arecibo along the northern coast of Puerto Rico.  Dustin moved there in July 2015 with his girlfriend Laura to start their veterinary careers after they both completed veterinary school in May of 2015 at North Carolina State University (Go Wolfpack!). Cam now spends most of his days chasing geckos, lounging in the nice Caribbean sun, and running on many of the magnificent beaches around Puerto Rico! Lucky dog!

a. Hunter

My name is Hunter. I was born in 2007 and live with the Aschenbrenner family. My favorite thing to do is lay around under the covers of my familiar beds. I also love to steal the food from the other dogs & cat in the house. When I really feel playful, I will run through an open door or dig a hole under the fence & go to visit the neighbor's bird feeder, eat the horses' grain or roll in the great smelling stuff in the pasture!  I also love to chase rabbits (I am a beagle, after all!)

a. Mack

Mack is a 3 year old small Chihuahua mix found by a client 2 years ago.  He was hiding in a ditch, thin, covered with fleas and had a very large bullet hole in his stomach.  Although his injury was huge, he was still in good spirits and had a strong will to live.  He caught Barb's heart as well as the rest of the staff, and with 2 surgeries, we were able to repair his wound, using a piece of common screen door screen.  The screen was sewn into his stomach to hold his intestines in place.  Then Mack endured bandaging the area twice daily for 6 weeks.  He pulled through this awful ordeal and has been living the good life ever since.  He comes to the animal hospital every day with Barb and lives a happy life chasing squirrels, sleeping in beds and barking at horses.

a. Randi

Randi is a little petite feline who belongs to Paula, our office manager.  One dark winter night, Dr. Orr & Paula's son, Josh, looked over at the back glass door and saw not only Jag, his cat, but another very badly undernourished and scared gray cat standing at the door looking in.  When he opened the door, Jag came in but the gray cat ran off.  However, the next night, she was back again with Jag looking in the back door.  Once again she ran off.  The next afternoon, Paula saw her in their driveway and took a bowl of cat food out to the back porch.  Then she sat down in their porch swing.  Within a few minutes, the gray cat came up on the porch and ate the food.  Then within just a couple of more minutes, the gray cat jumped up in Paula's lap and began rubbing her face against Paula's face.  That evening, the door was opened, Randi ran in and jumped up on the couch to enjoy the rest of the night.  She now spends most of her time inside the house when her family is home even though she has 12 acres available to enjoy.  Randi also loves her favorite dog friend Flash and often encourages him to lick her face and ears.  In fact, when Flash and Dottie go outside, Randi runs right behind them to go with them.
