Dr. Garcia is excited to join the APA team after feeling drawn to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals and the community. A Missouri native, she graduated from Mizzou’s College of Veterinary Medicine and spent time in small animal private practice in the St. Louis area prior. Her areas of professional interest include preventative/wellness care and dermatology. She enjoys spending time with family, friends, her pets, and traveling in her free time.
Caroline Lenczowski, DVM
Dr. Lenczowski joined the APA after looking for a position focused on community wellness and shelter medicine. She’s a graduate of the top-ranked veterinary program at Purdue University and enjoys staying busy with her family, farm, and many animals when she’s not at the APA.

Staff surgeon and calico cat aficionado Dr. Clements performs spay and neuter services for our outgoing animals. She graduated with her DVM from the University of Illinois and provides surgery at the shelter twice a week. Dr. Clements is an integral part of our commitment to finding homes for pets, including the two calico cats she adopted from the APA — Cora and Willow.

Dr. Angus recently joined the APA team in providing wellness care for the community. When she is not working, Dr. Angus has a life full of activity! She enjoys hiking camping, kayaking, dance, and traveling. She also has two small dogs of her own that are her sweet little travelers!
Pet Owner Support Programs
Wellness Extends Beyond the Clinic
We don’t wait for people and pets to come to us. As part of our mission, we actively reach out to the community and lend our support.
Your Donation Makes An Impact
Beyond adoption, there are many ways to help people and pets bring out the best in each other. A gift to the APA enables us to give second (and sometimes third or fourth) chances to deserving pets.
