PATCHELL VETERINARY CLINIC
Dr. Allison Patchell, DVM-
Ever since she was 11 years old, Dr. Patchell dreamed of being an “animal doctor”. At 16, she talked the local veterinarian in her hometown of West Memphis into volunteering, which eventually led to an after school job of cleaning the clinic and helping with animal care. After graduating high school, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree with an emphasis in animal science at the University of Arkansas, while working part-time as a lab assistant at the rabbitry and poultry farms. Dr. Patchell was accepted to and completed a Doctorate of Veterinary program distinguished with an award in feline medicine. Following graduation, she practiced small animal medicine in West Memphis for 1 year and large and small animal medicine for 3 years in Conway. While in Conway, she met Heber Springs native Doug Patchell. They married and moved to his hometown in 1984 and began a small animal practice here.
Dr. Patchell is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Association. In 2000, Governor Mike Huckabee appointed Dr. Patchell for a five year term to the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Examining Board and renewed the
appointment for another five years in 2005. She and Doug attend First Baptist Church.
Allison and Doug will have been married for a !!!BUSY!!! 25 years in December! Doug is a second grade teacher at Heber Springs Elementary School and spends time volunteering at AETN. They have one daughter, Cara, who is married to Chance Tharp (another Heber Springs native). Cara is now a graduate from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Interior Merchandising. Chance is a 2006 graduate of OSU with a degree in business. After Cara's graduation, they moved to Little Rock and both are working for one of the local banks.
Dr. Patchell likes to spend any spare time she has (Ha!) riding Marco, her horse. Other family members include Sera the standard poodle, Martha and Lacy the cats, and Mercy, Marco’s stable mate.
"I have never wanted to be anything else other than a veterinarian, and consider myself so blessed to live my dream.”
A Letter from Dogpile.com and the ASPCA
Dear Fellow Animal Lover,
There are few things more satisfying than knowing you've helped an animal live a happier, healthier life. And no one understands more than you that these tough economic times also affect animals, as people are sometimes forced to give up a pet and contributions to animal charities decline dramatically.
That's why Dogpile.com has launched the Search & Rescue program. Now, you can help us support the ASPCA and rescue pets just by doing what you already do-searching the Web.
Search - Dogpile.com is a search engine that provides the best results from all the leading search engines. And through this program, a portion of the revenue generated will be donated to the ASPCA.
Rescue - Our ultimate goal is to raise $1 million by the end of 2009 to support pet resuce efforts.
The more people search, the more we can donate. That's where you come in.
