Our Story
15th Street Veterinary Group has been a trusted part of the community for decades. Our doors first opened in 1965 as Hohmann Veterinary Hospital, founded by Dr. Donald Hohmann. Many of our loyal clients have been with us since those early days, and we’re proud to continue serving generations of their families and pets.
In 1990, we became 15th Street Veterinary Group under the leadership of Dr. Wagner and Dr. Shackelford, with Dr. Hohmann continuing to practice until 1995. Dr. Erin Green joined the team in 1999 and became co-owner with Dr. Shackelford in 2015, shortly before Dr. Wagner’s retirement. Dr. Kara Herrington came on board in 2014, followed by Dr. Kris Haak in 2021 and Dr. Rona Ellen in 2025.
Who We Are
What truly sets 15th Street Veterinary Group apart is our team dynamic. We’re more than coworkers — we’re family. Every team member plays a vital role, from our kennel and cleaning staff to our veterinarians, and we value each contribution equally.
Our connection with clients is just as meaningful. Many have trusted us for years, allowing us to share in their memories — reminiscing about beloved pets who’ve passed and celebrating the joy of welcoming new ones. We also love meeting new families and learning all about their furry companions.
As a walk-in clinic, we take pride in spending the time needed to review medical records thoroughly and craft individualized care plans tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether you’ve been with us for decades or are visiting for the first time, you can count on us to treat your pets with compassion, respect, and the personalized attention they deserve.
At 15th Street Veterinary Group, our mission is simple: to provide exceptional, heartfelt care that strengthens the bond between people and their pets. We’re honored to be part of your pet’s story — past, present, and future — and we look forward to many more years of serving our community with dedication, integrity, and love.
