About Us
About FDV.......
The FDV team are trained and have worked together for years in high quality, high volume, spay & neuter and shelter medicine. After seeing how difficult it has been for smaller shelters/rescue and smaller community members to have access to spay/neuter/wellness services we decided to take our show on the road! We come from a diverse background of general practice, international medicine, and shelter medicine, and we truly enjoy what we do and working together. ​We are African American, Native American, and veterinarian privately owned and operated. Help us help the community to be able to keep their pets happy and healthy and reduce surrenders to shelters and euthanasias.
MISSION
To offer underserved communities, including animal rescue facilities and tribal reservations, an accessible and affordable option for spay, neuter, and basic wellness services.

Her favorite color is lime green, and when it comes to cats sign her up, she can't get enough of our feline friends! Dr. Bobo has three cats at home named Linus, Pink Floyd, & Boris. Dr. Bobo's favorite food is crab and her favorite animal is an entire species...you guessed it....FELIDAE :)
