Essex, MD – August 6, 2026 — VetEvolve, a leading community of veterinary practices built on the belief that strong clinical care and sustainable growth reinforce one another, today announced its partnership with Colonial Animal Hospital in Springfield, Virginia. The addition expands VetEvolve’s presence in Northern Virginia and marks the company’s 54th practice.

Colonial Animal Hospital is a two-doctor small animal hospital serving dogs and cats throughout Springfield and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities. Known for its attentive team and personalized approach to care, the hospital has built a loyal client base that has trusted it for years.

“Dr. Allison Fennell has built a practice that reflects the very best of community veterinary medicine,” said Clayton Stanley, Chief Development Officer of VetEvolve. “Her commitment to her team, her clients, and the pets they serve has created a culture we’re proud to support. We look forward to building on that strong foundation together.”

For Dr. Allison Fennell, choosing the right partner meant preserving the culture and personalized care that has defined Colonial Animal Hospital while positioning the practice for the future.

“When we began thinking about the future of Colonial Animal Hospital, we knew we wanted a partner who shared our commitment to exceptional patient care, our team, and the families who trust us with their pets,” said Dr. Fennell, who will continue leading the practice as Medical Director. “VetEvolve gives us the opportunity to preserve what makes our hospital special while providing additional resources and support to continue growing and serving our community for years to come.”
