Dr. Lacey's Pets

Dr Lacey adopted her handsome rescue dog Roger from her University Clinical Studies Centre adoption program in 2012. Roger had been found on the streets after the Grantham floods and adopted and brought back multiple times before Lacey took him home. With lots of time, training, and love, Roger has grown into a confident boy and is now very accustomed to his life of luxury. Roger has multiple medical conditions, further contributing to Dr Lacey's interest in the management of complex medical cases.

Like many vets, Dr Lacey has taken in an animal from someone that could no longer care for them. This is how she ended up with a sweet little Goose named Toulouse. Toulouse has taken on the role of protective mother figure to her ducks Piccolo and Chai, and her chicken Wilma.

She also has a rouge peacock that has made himself at home on their property that Dr Lacey has affectionately named Pierre.
