Animal Clinic at Wellington Reserve
Meet the Professionals of Animal Clinic at Wellington Reserve and Destiny for Dogs new Veterinarian of choice
Dr. Linda Abbott
Dr. Linda Abbott has always been crazy about animals. As a child she was usually raising a baby bird, playing with her pets, or volunteering at the local veterinarian’s office, so it seemed like going to veterinary school was a natural choice. She graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989 and moved immediately to Florida to escape the snow. She has been working with dogs and cats in various locations in Florida since that time. Most recently she started another veterinary practice on Northlake Blvd. She sold that practice and moved back to Kansas briefly, only to return after only one horrible winter! So now she is happy to be back in Florida and excited to be opening Animal Clinic at Wellington Reserve!
Dr. Abbott has been a foster parent and is the proud adoptive mother of Summer, a human, and her four furry children: Poochie, Maxx, Popcorn, and Lily. She likes to go to Orlando and ride roller coasters( when it’s not too hot or crowded). She also loves jet skis, antique cars and scary movies.
Dr. Abbott is passionate about animal rescue. She is always picking up strays, fixing them up and finding them homes. She has worked with many local animal rescues such as Big Dog Ranch, Adopt a Cat, Luv a Pet, Animal Care and Control, Second Chance and Pet Haven and will continue to help them as much as possible in her new office.

Sadie Needs Help with Medical Procedure
CAN YOU HELP? WE NEED DONATIONS FOR THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL SADIE. PLEASE READ THEIR STORY:
In February, my husband Zach and I decided it was time to add a furry member to our family. After many weeks of searching, we met Sadie at a local Pet Supermarket, through the rescue Destiny for Dogs. Sadie was rescued off the streets, where she came in contact with forms of bacteria, viruses, and illnesses. Unknown to us, Sadie spent a majority of her life struggling to breathe, on and off over 20 antibiotics, and forced to go through procedure after procedure.
In May, we were woken suddenly to Sadie again, struggling to breathe, but we knew this time it was life threatening. After spending 2 days in an emergency ICU, we took her home with no answers. Over the past 6 months, we have met with specialists, tried additional antibiotics and medications, only for Sadie to continue to decline. After an additional emergency visit last week, we met Dr. Armstrong who proposed a different medical path for Sadie, one that no other specialist has tried. We completed once again, an expensive procedure, a CAT scan with IV contrast. FINALLY, we believe we have a plan to move forward. But we have a problem, combined between Destiny for Dogs and our personal expenses; we have spent over $10,000 on Sadie. Sadie needs to have a sample taken from the infected part of her lungs and wash out the infected area in her nasal cavity. These two procedures are going to cost approximately $3,000.
Sadie has a special place in our hearts and is a treasured member of our family, but we have poured everything we can into her.
Please consider donating to her causes, every little bit counts. Help us save Sadie and give her a life she has never known, a life free from infection, illness, and doctors’ visits. Time is critical; she needs this procedure as soon as possible.

Hopscotch in Hospice
Hopscotch is a 9 week old puppy found in the garbage and taken in by Destiny for Dogs. Hopscotch has a heart condition and she will sadly “outgrow” her heart within 9 months. Hopscotch has gained 1 pound since being rescued. The vet and staff are taking very good care of Hopscotch and Hopscotch will remain in her foster home and we will all ensure that whatever life she has on this earth will be happy and full of love.
Many thanks to a very special someone for donating the funds for Hopscotch’s tests and offering to assist with her monthly meds. We are still in need of assistance with Hopscotch’s vet visits. Destiny will be sending special food monthly via chewy.com.
Please keep this darling girl in your loving thoughts and prayers. Please don’t worry about Hopscotch as her Hospice parents will not let a day go by without her feeling love, tenderness and happiness.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of Hopscotch’s life.
