Greetings Pet Lovers! My name is Dr. Amanda Craft and I am the proud new owner of Animal Haven which is located at what was previously known as Minnesota Veterinarian Associates of Little Falls. I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was raised on a small cattle ranch called Pine Springs Ranch. After I finished kindergarten my family moved to Little Falls, MN and purchased Royal Farms, a large potato farm in Royalton, MN. After high school, I attended the University of Minnesota and completed the required education to obtain my license to become a Veterinarian. I obtained valuable experience in my profession working for a corporate veterinary practice in the Twin Cities, but felt at home when I returned to Morrison County to practice medicine 6 years later. After 7 years of working for Minnesota Veterinary Associates, I made the difficult decision to leave Little Falls and practice in Sartell, MN. During the 2 years that I was there, I worked hard to revamp my education and skills, learning updated medical practices, new-age technology and veterinarian practice management. Most importantly, I discovered that my heart still belonged to Little Falls and the people that live here; not only as a Veterinarian, but also as a practice owner, and proud member of our wonderful community. I yearned to be back in Little Falls, so I approached Minnesota Veterinary Associates and inquired about purchasing their Little Falls clinic. During my years of working at Minnesota Veterinary Associates I developed a strong sense of 'feeling at home,' both with my co-workers and with the clients. Luckily, they were open to the idea of selling the business to us, and over the next year we worked with several key people to develop a business plan and obtain financing within our community allowing me to return to the place I loved; but this time as the proud, new owner of Animal Haven
