Animal Kingdom has added some additional staff members.  We have a new assistant, Melissa.  Nichole has also joined us as our new receptionist.  Thanks to the support of Grand Island and the local community, our hospital keeps growing.  Check out our gallery for photos of the new members!

We are pleased to announce that our student intern, Becky, has just been offered a position in the incoming Cornell veterinary school class starting 2012.  Becky spent the summer with us learning about various veterinary procedures, watching appointments and surgery to gain more experience in the veterinary field.  Thank you to all of our clients who let her observe during their pet visits!

Becky is our second student intern who went on to be accepted right away into veterinary school at the conclusion of their undergraduate studies.  We think the supportive Grand Island Community is part of their success!

This Saturday staff members of Animal Kingdom will participate in a charity dance event called Thrill the World.  This is a world wide simultaneous dance to the music of Michael Jackson's song 'Thriller'.  The event will take place at the Hearthstone Manor on Dick Road in Cheektowaga at 10pm, October 29.  Please come join our staff as they shine up their dancing shoes and break out zombie costumes for the dance performance. The event is organized this year by our own technician Laura's sister - also a client of the hospital.

Donations will be collected to benefit the Susan G. Komen breast cancer research foundation.  We hope to see many Grand Island faces there! 

The Grand Island entry into the 2011 Pink Glove contest has been posted at :

pinkglove.co/96

It is listed under "Huth Road School".  Due to time contraints on the contest, Animal Kingdom only has a limited dancing window.  You will also see some other local businesses featured, as well as town leaders and teachers.  Please cast a vote while you are on the page. If this video receives enough votes, there is the potential to win up to $10,000 for our sponsored breast cancer charity.

At the local breast cancer fund raiser event on October 17th, at 7:30pm in the Grand Island Highschool there will be a longer music video showing more dancing footage.  We hope to see you all there!

The Animal Kingdom Staff was happy to do our best version of a 'pink glove' dance to support Grand Island Sings for Hope last friday afternoon, and help raise money for breast cancer research.  Clients driving by on Grand Island Boulevard would have seen us doing our dance moves in front of the Animal Kingdom sign - we were the ones dressed up in bright pink finery!  Members of the Grand Island Sings for Hope planning committee, along with sound and fillming crew cheered us on as we attempted to stay coordinated with the music. Thereafter we also filmed inside the hospital dancing with some of our favorite patients.  Not all of the animals were thrilled with the attention they got and we're not sure who's going to be included in the final footage - some of our animal friends literally seem to have two left feet!  We hope to see our clients at the Breast Cancer fundraiser and concert on October 17th, 2011 being held at the Grand Island High school.

Animal Kingdom is proud to announce that we will be supporting the Grand Island Sings for Hope 2011 campaign to help raise money for breast cancer research.  We look forward to joining other island businesses in this worthy endeavour. Our staff is busy brushing up on their dancing skills as we'll be performing in the 'pink glove dance'.  We hope that we will see all of our clients at the community chorus and fund raising event in October. Come watch the video of us dancing with some of our favorite animal patients!  We'll also post pictures of us dressed in our finest pink after the filming.

Our new summer student intern, Becky, started with us this June. Becky is a Grand Island native and brought her pets to us for many years as she was growing up.  Now she will be graduating college and wants to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.  She'll be at the hospital during the summer months observing procedures and gaining experience in the veterinary field. Wish her luck as she applies to veterinary schools this fall - we know she'll make a great veterinarian!

Welcome to the new Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, PC website.  We hope that you enjoy the updated pictures of our hospital and staff!
