Our new building "Just Like Home!"

 Family Veterinary Clinic’s New Home is Now Open!

Crofton, Gambrills and Bowie, thank you for allowing us to serve you for twenty seven years. In that time we have been known as the vet clinic “in the house”, now it is our pleasure to introduce our new home. After much consideration for your ideas and concerns we believe that our new home will mix all of the “feel” that you have come to expect with all of the technology your loved ones deserve. The pictures say it all, a state of the art facility wrapped in the arms of a home. Enjoy!

 


 

Deconstruction!

Deconstruction!

 
We are happy to announce that deconstruction, of the old clinic, has started. After much consideration, we decided to donate the entire structure to two local entities, Second Chance of Baltimore and The Anne Arundel Volunteer Fire Department.  Second Chance is a non-profit deconstruction and material retailer located near M&T Stadium in Baltimore Maryland. Their mantra is Retrain Reclaim and Renew. In the process of completely deconstructing and salvaging materials, from the building they provide career training to people who need a “Second Chance”.
Second Chance started their “skim” on Thursday the 6th. This is the preliminary removal of all salvageable goods, fixtures and finishes. After three days, they were ready to proceed with the first phase of complete deconstruction; they completely removed the left side.  Next, it was the fire departments turn, for a day of training.

On February 13th, The Anne Arundel Volunteer Fire Department completed a day of hands on training.  Smoke drills combined with search and rescue scenarios and ventilation techniques gave the department some rare “real-life” training.  Finally, Second Chance took the stage again to complete their deconstruction of the remaining building. 

It seems fitting that the “old” Family Veterinary Clinic, known for its intimacy and character and filled with memories, will not go to a landfill but instead will continue to enrich the lives of people, through training and maybe even a piece of her will show up under paws again.
