In Memoriam - Gap

In May 2021, a beloved team member and co-worker of Pine Creek was lost in a horrific traffic accident.

Brandie was a Veterinary Assistant, taking classes in hopes of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician. She was a leader, a hard worker, a lover of Dachshunds, butterflies, Dunkin Donuts and helping pets. 

Brandie’s Hope was established in her honor, a way of helping pets with emergent medical needs receive the care that they need. With your help, thru donations and fundraising, we can continue to help pets, something that Brandie was passionate about.
