Community Service and Involvement

In-School Career Days

Drs. Shantila Rexroat and Sonya Akers regularly visit the elementary, middle, and high schools around the area to educate our kids and community about what veterinarians really do and how to best take care of our animals. Animal healthcare is an integral part of human healthcare!

Co-Founders of G.R.A.W.L.

In 2003, Drs. Shantila Rexroat and Shannon Campbell helped establish the Green River Animal Welfare League (GRAWL) with the intentions of bringing an animal shelter to service Adair County and surrounding communities. The formation of GRAWL led to state grants and funding and additional community member donations.  The Adair County Animal Shelter was completed and opened in 2006.

Job Shadowing

We partner with the local high school every year for job shadowing. Intrigued young minds are welcome to come find out what the day in the life of a small and large animal veterinarian is really like.

International

We are also partnered up to give back to pets and their owners in Africa! For every Rabies vaccine given to a pet at Adair County Animal Hospital or Laker Vet Care, a dog or cat in Africa also receives their Rabies vaccine.

Rabies Vaccine Clinics

Currently, we hold Rabies vaccine clinics twice a year. Typically the first full weeks of May and October. During these times, one year Rabies vaccines are given by our licensed veterinarians at a reduced rate to encourage our community to provide this required vaccine to all animals on their property. We believe animal health and human health go hand in hand.
