With Heavy Hearts

We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved office dog, Lindor, has passed away. He brought comfort, smiles, and a special kind of calm to our office, and we know many of you loved him just as much as we did.

Thank you for all the pats, treats, and love you gave Lindor over the years. He truly was a cherished part of our clinic family, and will be greatly missed by all.

With gratitude,
The Ancron Team
