Dr. Donald Walter Stanton was the founder of Stanton Animal Hospital which he established in 1971 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Dr. Stanton attended and graduated from Wichita High School and Wichita State Community College. Earning his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1964, Dr. Stanton also received recognition of high scholarship from the Honor Society of Agriculture, Gamma Sigma Delta, as well as outstanding achievement and service in Agricultural Science. At Kansas State, Dr. Stanton was the houseboy at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house. It was there that he met his best friend forever, Susie. They were married May 20, 1960. Susie supported him working as a home economics teacher while he attended veterinary school. Their daughter, Pam, was born during Christmas break of 1961. They had always planned to move to Arkansas, but after graduation they chose to move to the largest animal hospital in the United States located in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1971 Dr. Stanton began his veterinary career in Fayetteville, Arkansas, opening Stanton Animal Hospital for the small animal community. He grew the practice from a single doctor practice to a busy, multi-doctor establishment. In 1996, Dr. Stanton's son, Derik Stanton, graduated from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, joined the practice, and he will now continue his father's legacy
