Dr. Cole Dodson

In Loving Memory…

Of our associate, Dr. Cole Dodson, who passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 11, 2022.

He was a wonderful veterinarian, friend, husband and son. His compassion for people and animals was unsurmountable. He will be greatly missed by his friends, family, and clients.

Dr. Cole Dodson, a 2003 graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, "came aboard" the Ark in January of 2019. Following graduation, Dr. Dodson practiced at North Bryan Veterinary Clinic, eventually purchasing the practice in 2006. Dr. Dodson sold the practice in 2016 and continued to practice veterinary medicine in the Bryan/College Station/Hempstead area for three more years as an associate practitioner.
