Ann Vestal, DVM

Dr. Ann Vestal has always known she wanted to be a veterinarian, sharing that “I’ve never had a plan B.” She graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University in 2007 and went on to complete an internship in physical therapy and rehabilitation in Fort Collins, Colorado. Dr. Vestal is also a Certified Veterinary Medical Acupuncturist (cVMA), allowing her to offer specialized acupuncture treatments for animals. Since 2018, she has been practicing veterinary medicine in Missoula, most recently serving as an emergency care veterinarian. Dr. Vestal enjoys living in Missoula with her family and loves being a part of the Street Dog Coalition Missoula team.

Karla McCollough

I am so happy to be a part of the Missoula chapter of SDC. I have been involved with animals for most of my adult life..whether it be working/volunteering at local shelters or raising 12 puppies for various service dog organizations. I love helping the population we serve and look forward to continuing to serve both ends of the leash.
