Dr. Bruce Veterinarian
Our History

Dr. Homer S. “Buddy” Bruce graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine in June 1987.

Upon graduation, he worked for Dr. Marsha Cashwell in Phenix City while he built his veterinary hospital in Opelika. He was raised in Opelika, where his grandfather and others built the first human hospital.

He and his wife, Cherry, have two sons, Blaine (Montana) and Byron (Dana), and one grandchild, Ian. He has six dogs at home: three Boston terriers, a Boykin spaniel, a Chiweenie, and a Bullmastiff, along with too many cats. He enjoys gardening and
Auburn Sports.

He is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Alabama Veterinary Medical Association (Executive Board Member), East Alabama Veterinary Medical Association (Vice President) and is on the Advisory Committee for the Southern Union State Community College Veterinary Technician Program.

He is the Lee County Rabies Officer and performs Shelter work for the Lee County Animal Control.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

We don't just provide gold-standard veterinary medicine to every pet... we think differently. We reimagine all the ways a veterinary team can make a difference in your life. We care deeper, we look deeper, and we always put you and your pet first. Because here, you are family.

 

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.
