Dr. Shelly Zacharias
Dr. Shelly Zacharias is originally from the great state of Oklahoma and moved to the Indianapolis area during the summer of 2004 after receiving a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Previous education includes a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, graduate school in Secondary Education and teaching high school chemistry, then graduate classes in Endocrinology before attending veterinary school.
While in Oklahoma, Dr. Zacharias was extensively involved in activities to place homeless dogs and cats in new homes, including running a "second chance" home of her own for many years.
Hobbies include reading, snow skiing, working out, and any activity with her pets, especially walks and hikes with her dogs and a special cat who thinks she is a dog. Particular areas of interest in veterinary medicine include internal medicine, ophthalmology, small mammal exotics, rehabilitation and geriatric medicine.
At home, most of Dr. Z's spare time is spent caring for her own family of dogs, cats and rabbits.
