Elizabeth Animal Hospital was started in the spring of 1998 in a small, leased space just north of the current location. Dr. Chris Morris and his wife, Kathy, started the practice as a satellite to Parker Center Animal Clinic. Dr. Leon Anderson was hired as the first and primary doctor of the new practice. In addition to his doctor responsibilities, Dr. Anderson also managed the practice, bringing with him large and small animal health care expertise. The practice grew rapidly, providing exceptional health care to dogs, cats, horses, camelids, and small ruminants, as well as the occasional exotic pet. In January 2002, Dr. Anderson and his wife, Trisha, bought Elizabeth Animal Hospital. In response to the demands for the high level of small animal pet care provided by Elizabeth Animal Hospital, a new full-service, state-of-the-art small animal hospital was designed and constructed. The animal hospital was moved across Highway 86 to the current location in August of 2004. Shortly after moving into the new hospital facility, Dr. Anderson had back surgery and his ability to care for horses and large ruminants was restricted. As difficult as it was for him to give up his passion for equine medicine, Dr. Anderson began limiting his veterinary practice to small animals, camelids, and small ruminant health care. In the winter of 2013, the decision was made to lease out the under-utilized large animal portion of the hospital facility. As a result, the north end of the building was closed off and leased to Dr. Tammy Sorley and her business Iron Horse. Although this change further limits Elizabeth Animal Hospital's ability to help camelids and small ruminants, Dr. Anderson is pleased to see it being used for horses as it was originally intended
