Our Doctors
Dr. Justin Vaughn
Dr. Justin Vaughn joined ACGS in 2014. Originally from Grants Pass, Oregon, he moved to Hamilton, Montana as a teenager. After high school he attended the University of Idaho and graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in 1999. He then went on to earn his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University in 2003.
After graduation, he worked three years in a mixed animal practice on the Oregon Coast. Wanting to follow his interest in emergency medicine he accepted a position as an emergency veterinarian here in Corvallis. However, he began to miss the bond a general practitioner forms with his clients and their pets. So, after 6 years in the emergency realm, he returned to day practice and has been there ever since.
In the spring of 2019, the founder of ACGS, Dr. Sabra Thomas, approached Dr. Vaughn to see if he was interested in purchasing the clinic upon her retirement. Dr. Vaughn jumped at the opportunity and since June 1, 2019 has been the proud owner of ACGS.
Dr. Vaughn is a member of the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, American Veterinary Medical Association, and the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association. His professional interests include emergency medicine, critical care, soft tissue surgery, and geriatric medicine. His hobbies include fishing, SCUBA diving, cooking, gardening, and doing just about anything that gets him outdoors. At home, Dr. Vaughn enjoys spending time with his wife Cassie, daughter Piper, son Logan, two dogs, Carter and Theo, and his cat, Kitten Kat.

Rose

Since then Rose has been active in the rescue community, volunteering at local shelters from time to time to help bottle feed newborn orphan kittens. Her fur family consist of 3 rescue cats; Hunter the grumpy grey kitty, Carina the beautiful flamepoint Siamese and the most recent additional is Demeter (Demi) whom she found at their workshop near the brink of death. Through countless hours of nursing care Demi is now a beautiful grey tabby with a heart of gold.
Rose enjoys outdoor sports such as shooting and horseback riding but on cold days she is known to be cuddled up with her cats watching movies. She also enjoys cooking and baking during her time off, making Thanksgiving and Christmas her favorite holidays.

Our Feline Staff
Sunshine a.k.a. “Sunny”
Sunshine is our “chief mouser”. You will see Sunshine, the big orange kitty, in and out of the clinic all day, letting us know just how hard he has been working in the fields. Although, lately he seems to enjoy the comfort of his bed more than the hardships of the outside world.
Leon
Leon is the “bug getter”. Any bug that makes its way under the doors are arrested in their tracks. He also loves a shoulder, so if you are having a bad day, he will happily crawl on your shoulder and rub his face on your neck. He came to our clinic in 2010 as a tiny kitten. He had a rough start to life with his eyes stuck shut. For the first 2 months of his life he was blind, but after several surgeries, he is able to see fine, but his tear ducts don’t work, so he has chronic discharge around his eyes and sneezes alot!! The other kitties accepted him, so he was eventually given a permanent home at the clinic.
