“Aspen” and “Kona” enjoy playing, tug of war, and squeaky toys. Kona enjoys swimming and being brushed. Aspen especially loves his green plastic football. They both enjoy running in the yard and chasing birds out of the trees and rabbits when they can find them. Aspen is 6 years old Shepherd mix and Kona is a 9 year old yellow Labrador. You will find them at the clinic most days and they always love to say “hi” and get a treat.

“Cooper” enjoys hanging out in his cage all day, and then roams the front of the clinic at night. He’s a little shy. He was a feral cat and brought into the clinic and was adopted by Cochise Animal Hospital in 2009. You may see him peering through the front window after hours.
