In 1985, Dr. Walter-Hansen bought a little house that had been built way back in 1915. After considerable remodeling, he turned it into a functioning veterinary hospital, and Shamrock Animal Hospital was born. As the clinic grew and the many pets of Rosemount came to receive care, Dr. Hansen realized they were going to need a bigger facility! They moved into their new building in 1996, where the hospital still is today
