About me, Tara Blair:
While growing up in Folkston, Georgia, I attended Charlton County Schools and graduated from CCHS in 2000. After graduation I attended the University of Georgia where I majored in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Animal Health (2000-2004). After receiving my Bachelor of Science degree, I attended the University of Georgia Veterinary College (2004-2008). Not only did I receive an excellent education, but I enjoyed amazing experiences (including many UGA football games) and made life-long friends.
​
I began my career in Brunswick, Georgia, where I worked in a clinic for small animals for the past nine years. My goal has always been to open my own veterinary clinic in my hometown. While attending school in Folkston, I shadowed a veterinarian for six years as part of a school program. Opening my own veterinary clinic in my hometown will enable me to give back to my community and perhaps mentor other hopeful veterinarians in our schools.
​
My home is filled with various pets, but the most famous is Tallulah (from Tallulah’s Tips) who is a great dane. She is funny, stubborn, and loveable. Phoebe is a recent rescue that we love. She is a pitt bull mix and all stuborn. Mavis is also a pitt bull mix that came to me with 3 legs. This does not slow her down one bit. Phoebe and Mavis love to run and play with each other. They also love to play with the daycare babies. I also have 4 cats that I have adopted over the years. Their names are Stolley, Tigger, Spit Fire, and El Gato Tic Toc Loki. They are hilarious and all have different personalities. I have pet koi (all have names) that I love very much and a silly turtle too. My horse Hickory is a older gentleman that loves pears and apples. My world is definitely a better place when there are animals around.
