About
Hi, we are Paul and Carrie, a married couple who have spent the last 10+ years in the animal rescue world. Opening BVA was our way expanding our positive impact on the animal welfare community and the animals its serves.
We both grew up in towns right outside big cities giving us the best of both worlds. We grew up knowing our neighbors, playing kick ball and tag, greeting a stranger with a hello (pre-stranger danger), helping a stranded car, etc. Brookview is a combination of our hometowns (Brookfield, WI & Forest View, IL); where we felt safe, supported and happy.
We have an innate commitment to each other and should look out for each other (human and animal). Every animal has the right to a good life and peaceful, respectful end. We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, “It’s not my child*, not my community, not my world, not my problem. Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
~Fred Rogers (We would insert “not my pet,”)
BVA works with the heroes that Fred Rogers speaks about in the quote above. At BVA, we are committed to making a difference, caring for others and working together to improve the community.
We chose “Wellness” because it reminds us that every animal deserves to be well. We work with pet parents and rescue partners to give every animal their best life no matter the challenge. We have the best veterinary partners to care for your animals.
Our spay / neuter clinic has been open for the past year which has does so much more than spay / neuter.
Our full-service clinic is here for sick pet care, so they are their happiest and healthiest. We work with you to address any concerns and determine the best comprehensive plan for your pets. We will be your prevention partners.
