Meet Dr. Christine Stephenson and her sister's dog, Jax (not pictured: Christine's adored cats Daphne, Longbow, and Bear). We are EXTREMELY lucky to have a DVM as wonderful as Christine--in addition to working for RPRV, she has been commissioned as Captain Stephenson in the Army Reserves Veterinary Corps, where she puts her skills to use while serving her country.
