Community Service and Involvement

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

In 2003, Dr. Shantila Rexroat 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.

In-School Career Days

Dr. Shantila Rexroat regularly visits 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!

Nursing Home Visits

A little "pet therapy" does a body good!  We deliver smiles via tails wags and kitten whiskers to those who are young-at-heart when can slip away from the hustle of the hospital.  Small acts of kindness help to brighten and lighten the load for everyone!

Internationally

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 AH&LSC (RS), 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.

We Support Local FFA Programs!
