These are the animals that will greet you when you come through

ACM's doors!

Tater

Tater is not just one of the Dahlstrom family pets, he's also an ACM employee!  He helps our office manager get the mail, greets clients, runs errands with Dr. Carol and helps out where ever else needed.  Tater was one of our many puppies that come to us through the local pound and Dr. Carol ended up taking him home.  Tater has been her companion animal ever since!  His favorite things to do are swim, play fetch and go to the lake.  Tater loves being a part of his human family; so much that he made his way into the family portraits...unexpectedly! 

L.T.  (Aka- Lion Tamer)

A former farm kitty, L.T. came to ACM to be a "clinic cat."  A quiet and unobtrusive member of the family, L.T. can be found lounging in various places around the clinic during the day.  Some of his favorite hide outs include a cabinet where the towels are kept and a chair in the file room.  L.T. will get a little rowdy once in awhile.  Make sure you give him a pet if you happen to see him when you stop by. 

Poncho

Don't be alamed if you hear a loud "HELLO!" from shomwhere in the clinic --- it is just Poncho our resident double yellow headed Amazon Parrot.  Poncho enjoys hanging out with the staff and saying things like 'Order Up' when food is around.  Poncho is definetely not a health food fanatic - crakers, chips and anything fried is Poncho's favorite fare.  Not a big fan of being handled, Poncho stays in his cage most of the time.  But when he does get out, he really enjoys talking to himself in the bathroom about what a handsome bird he is! 

Squeakers

Hatched from an egg in vet school by Dr. Carol, Squeakers is a cockatiel and has been a member of the ACM team for many years now.  He loves to whistle and sing, once you get him going.  He is a very curious bird, so he often times has his head poked out of his cage trying to figure out what is going on.
