Montgomery County Animal Shelter has found a new shelter director in Dr. Patricia Ryan, DVM. 

Dr. Ryan received her degree from Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Previous experience includes private practice, shelter medicine and spay/neuter surgery, and working as the Wellness veterinarian for Fix Houston. 

Dr. Ryan’s attention will be on saving animals lives. “My focus for the Montgomery County Animal Shelter will be to save lives.  We will be working with more volunteers, more foster families, and more rescue groups.  We will work to treat as many of the treatable as we can.  We will continue our spay and neuter efforts and have re-started our in-house heartworm treatments for our shelter dogs.  We are blessed with a dedicated volunteer base, which is key to our success.”           

“I am pleased with the addition of Dr. Ryan. Her passion for saving animals coupled with her Veterinarian experience will make our No Kill efforts possible.  She is supported by our dedicated staff and compassionate volunteers to help so many sick, injured and abandoned animals”, states Tim Holifield, Constable of Montgomery County who oversees the county shelter program.
