Ginger was adopted from the VBSPCA Jan. 3, 2002. She was 11months old, and had been turned into them twice. At that time she had been there for 6 months, "can't find a home". She'd suffered abuse and her last vet, prior to Dr. Johnson, recommended "she not be adopted out again". To this day she still has some trust issues but once someone proves worthy of it she is extremely affectionate. She's been a wonderful companion to me and her sister, who we lost to cancer Feb. 28 after more then 11 years. She wishes to thank Dr. Johnson & his staff for their patience, care, and devotion.

Each month, the staff at Birdneck Animal Hospital publicly acknowledge one our many wonderful patients by sharing their heartwarming story with others through our Pet of the Month. In addition, Birdneck Animal Hospital makes a donation, in the name of each of our Pets of the Month, to NOBLEPETS. What is NOBLEPETS?
Noblepets is a new branch of the Noblemen Organization that has been spearheaded by our very own Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson and the Noblemen have created this wonderful platform as a way to allow more individuals a way of giving back to the community, while at the same time publicly acknowledging your pet, and telling the world why your pet is noble. Monies raised through Noblepets go toward helping provide local children and veterans who are disabled with specially trained aid dogs to make their lives less difficult.
The Birdneck Noblepet Of The Month have their picture displayed on the Noblepet Wall of Honor at the Birdneck Animal Hospital, and have their photo as well as their story posted on the web sites of the Birdneck Animal Hospital and The Noblemen. Each owner also receives a T-shirt and car magnet announcing that their pet has been recognized as a Noblepet.
