In an effort to give back to the clients, pets and community that we love, Goshen Animal Clinic commisioned Albert Nelson to sculpt a water fountain for pets.  This fountain will be placed at the Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve upon completion.  Our hope is that pet owners in the community will enjoy the natural beauty of the preserve and enjoy the function and beauty of the fountain.  The design for the fountain has been a collaborative effort between the preserve Director, Tavia Cathcart, Dr. Brian Proffitt, Dr Karen Hagan, the management staff from the clinic and of course the artist, Mr Nelson and his wife Penny.  A special thanks must go to the Office Manager at G.A.C., Erica Chesser, who guided us to Mr Nelson and has added her artistic input on many of the fountain features.  You can find out more about the Nelsons, their creations, programs and services at : http://www.nelstone.com/. 

The office had a fireplace in the lobby that was no longer functional, due to the pet traffic.  For that reason, we looked to cover the opening of the fireplace with wood and paint it.  Once again, our Office Manager Erica, developed the idea of adding a mural to the space.  We enlisted the creative abilities of a former employee, Sarah Smith, who had moved to Georgia.  Sarah was able to visit the clinic, design and paint the entire mural within a couple of days.  Using images of staff members' pets, we beleive Sarah captured  the essence of the animals that we care for.  The mural has now been covered in glass and we will continue to make improvements to the area around it.
