Local boy turns from Border Patrol to animals, Clinic looking to expand

By March 25, 2021No Comments

After college, Alpine veterinarian Zach Dodson started his career with the U.S. Border Patrol, but his independent spirit led him to a life of helping animals.  His mom Mary is a veterinarian at Alpine Small Animal Practice and Large Animal Services, his grandfather was a veterinarian, and his dad is long-time Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson.  “I like to think on my own,” said Dodson, “Working for the federal government, I didn’t feel like I could think on my own. I wanted something where I could use my own thought process. Everything in working with animals is a puzzle, and I’m a big puzzle guy.”  “We have no timeframe, and with the difficulty of finding another vet to come to the area, that’s what will set the tone. The moment we do find one, we can proceed from there,” said Dodson, adding, “I’m looking forward to continuing a promising career in the area, and we thank all the clients who support us and depend on us for their animal care.”
