Since a young age, Dr. Shari knew she wanted to work with animals. She had a dog washing business as a kid, but had to quit after she clogged the bathtub drains. She graduated from Purdue Vet School in 1986, where she met her husband Rick. She has two sons, Paul and Noah, and a menagerie of animals that includes horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and more. Dr. Shari loves music and has been involved with Barbershop Harmony groups, as well as plays the clarinet for her church orchestra.

Real Stories from ZCVC families.
Dr. Shari is the best! Sensitive, kind, and so caring to our dog ..and I have seen her in action with other pets and she treats them all wonderfully. We love her and our dog does too!
Beautiful place and everyone is very nice there and they really care for your pets and give them excellent care.
Great at getting you in when you need apt. Has taken great care of my dog from puppy hood till now. If you have questions they not only answer but are also sure you understand answer!
I love this vet clinic they have made my kitten Izzy feel so loved and welcome every time she has came in. You can always tell the staff loves animals and loves doing their job! They always do such a great job handling my kitten and always so careful and gentle handed while giving shots they truly are amazing! I am so happy I found this place for my animals!
I highly recommend taking your pets here! Dr.Jones was great, my dog had a cough and was retching and I was very concerned and she took the time to update me while they were doing X-rays. She also was very sweet and gentle while handling my pet which helped with his anxiety. The clinic also called to follow up the next day and ask how my dog was doing which I was impressed by. This clinic has a great team and truly cares about the welfare of the furry clients!
We have always had nothing but fantastic experiences with ZCVC, but this last time was exceptional. We had 2 sick dogs and they were able to work us in to their already busy schedule because Dr. Shari stayed after on a Friday to see us. On top of that, they also helped us out financially too! They are just simply amazing!
