At Advanced Animal Care Emergency, our team doesn’t just care for dogs and cats — we welcome exotic pets too! From feathered friends to scaly companions, we’re here 24/7 to make sure every patient gets the care they deserve.

Tomorrow marks one whole year since Dr. Prince, Taryn, and Maddie rescued little Rocket — and what a journey it’s been! ❤️🐾

On October 24, 2024, Madison County Animal Control brought in a tiny 5–6-week-old kitten they found at the old Richmond Mall. His front leg had gotten stuck in a bench, and it was badly broken. He weighed only 1.6 pounds — so small that he truly shouldn’t have survived surgery.

But our team couldn’t let him go without a chance. 💪
Maddie covered the cost of surgery, Dr. Prince performed his amputation (miraculously successful!), and Maddie fostered him through recovery. Two weeks later, Taryn officially adopted him — and Rocket’s been living his best life ever since.

From a stray baby to a full-fledged member of the Advanced Animal Care family, Rocket is a reminder of why we do what we do every day. 🩷✨

Here’s to our sweet tripod boy who stole all our hearts — Happy Rescue Anniversary, Rocket! 🚀🐱

🐾 Hospital Week at AAC Emergency 🐾
This week, we celebrate every single member of our incredible team — the techs, assistants, CSRs, kennel crew, doctors, and everyone who keeps this place running 24/7. 💙

While National Vet Tech Week inspired it, we call it Hospital Week because at AACER, it truly takes all of us.

Our owners give us a generous budget to make this week special — but what makes it extra meaningful is how our doctors and team leads also pitch in, plan surprises, and go above and beyond to spoil their crew.

From the gifts and food to the laughter and late-night shifts — we’re endlessly thankful for this team and everything they pour into caring for pets and their people every single day. 💙🐶🐱

We had a great time at Career Connect at Auburn University💙 We got to reconnect with some familiar faces and meet new one along the way!

Our Emergency team had the pleasure of caring for these bull terriers during their visit. Providing compassionate, high-quality care for pets of all ages and breeds is what we’re here for—24/7.

Overnight Lead Kate went above and beyond to make sure our whole team could sharpen their skills! 🐾 She led a comprehensive restraint training, breaking it into multiple sessions so every team member had the chance to attend and practice hands-on.

Proper restraint is one of the most important skills in veterinary medicine—it keeps our patients safe, minimizes stress, and protects our team from injury. By working together to master safe handling techniques, we can provide the best care possible for every pet that comes through our doors, no matter the situation.

After 7 days in the hospital, Tanner is finally headed home! He’s been such a sweet, brave boy during his stay with us, and we’re going to miss those snuggles. Wishing you the happiest homecoming, Tanner!

Even at 2am, our overnight team is ready. 💙 From the front desk to the treatment floor, we’re here when your pets need us most—efficient, kind, and wide awake. Thanks to our overnight crew for always showing up with compassion and care! 🌙🐾 and thank you to our clients who leave us kind reviews and mention our staff by name. You don’t know how much this means to us!

Our Story

In the 1950’s our founder Jim Martin was just a child. One day he found a dog that had been hit by a car and he wanted to save it but he didn’t know how. There was no veterinarian to call in his poverty stricken coal mining town. It was in that moment that he knew when grew up he was going to become a veterinarian. He knew even as a child that he wanted to be the one that people could call day or night to save an animals life.

Martin was the first Berea College graduate to be accepted into Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine.

In 1973 a first generation college graduate became Dr. Jim Martin, and was one of only three in his class to open his own hospital. His dream was to make sure no one ever had to see an animal suffer because there was no one to call.
