Russell Welfare
Veterinarian, Owner
DVM
Hi, my name is Dr. Welfare, and I am a veterinarian at North Powers Animal Hospital. I am passionate about providing high-quality care and helping my patients feel comfortable and confident in their treatment.
Personal Hobbies and Interests
When I'm not at work, I'm known as "Dad." I love spending quality time with my wife and children — especially if it means a trip to the mountains.
Favorite Part of My Job
I am passionate about meeting every animal that comes through our doors and giving them the best service possible. Each day gives me new opportunities to share my knowledge with pet parents, provide low-stress care for my patients, and serve my community.
Why I Chose This Profession
To me, being a veterinarian is more than a career — it's a calling. Advocacy is at the top of my list when serving my patients, because as a veterinarian I can be the voice for those who can't speak up for themselves. That translates into my dedication to prioritizing the well-being of all animals and giving them the best lives possible.
Education
I graduated from the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical School in 1995 and completed a surgical internship in 1996.
Work History
I've toured the entire country with my work, gaining a unique perspective every step of the way.
