Happy Birthday to Dr. Shirley 🎉
Dr. Shirley is the kind of leader people don’t just work for—they trust and learn from every single day. Her dedication to her patients is unmatched. She consistently does what’s right, even when it’s not the easy or profitable choice, and that says everything about who she is as a veterinarian and as a person.
Firgrove is what it is because of her. Her standards, her work ethic, and her steady presence have shaped not just a hospital, but a team that genuinely cares.
And somehow, in the middle of all of that, she still manages to create beauty everywhere she goes—her gardens alone could rival Better Homes & Gardens.
We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s built and continues to give to this hospital, our team, and this community.
If you’ve ever had the chance to meet Dr. Shirley or had a pet in her care, we’d love for you to join us in wishing her a happy birthday in the comments ❤️
