WORKING TOWARD 24/7 VETERINARY CARE

 in Las Cruces, NM

OUR PLAN

The top priority of Animal companions of Las Cruces is to recruit veterinarians to Las Cruces and the communities of southern New Mexico. To achieve this we communicate regularly with local veterinary practices to assess current staffing needs and market these opportunities on our website and to veterinary schools in the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. In addition, we offer a $10,000 Employment Award to veterinarians that accept a position in our geographic area. And we offer per diem assistance to qualified veterinary students who accept externships at veterinary practices in our target communities.

please welcome our new veterinarians to the community

Originally from Las Vegas, NV, I am a Las Crucen by way of Carlsbad. I love the sense of community, pace of life, and cultural richness of southern NM, and am thrilled to offer my medical and surgical skills to the clients of Animal Hospital of Las Cruces

In 2024, I was the first extern Animal Companions of Las Cruces brought to southern New Mexico. They took care of my travel and housing, which allowed me to focus on getting the best experience from my externship at Zia Vet Clinic. The entire staff and vets at Zia were patient, kind and challenging. I loved it so much that I accepted a full-time position at upon graduation. I am also honored to be the first recipient of the organization's $10,000 employment bonus!  


Dr. Hailey Peck

    

I was born and raised in Las Cruces and am very aware of the significant demand for veterinarians. I have a strong calling to give back to this area, so I am delighted to return home and offer my professional skills to the clients of Calista Animal Hospital.

 As a Las Cruces pet owner, I have had first-hand knowledge of how difficult it can be to get pet care here. Our veterinarians are short-staffed and overworked. I am excited to bring my skills to Jornada Veterinary Clinic, to offer reasonable and feasible treatment plans for our patients and their families.

Dr. Jacob Fillman

I am from Bothell, WA and am delighted to be in Las Cruces with my 3 cats, my dog, a gecko and my fish! When I am not caring for them, I will be gaming or baking, unless I am taking care of the critters that come to Jornada Veterinary Clinic with their families.
