Apache Animal Hospital has been serving the needs of pets and their owners since 1974! Located in Northeast Minneapolis between 35W and Stinson Boulevard, we are convenient to animal owners in New Brighton, Roseville, Columbia Heights, St. Anthony and Fridley. Our veterinary clinic is run by Dr. Terry Rapacz, who has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1969. Dr. Rapacz became a partner at Apache in 1989 and after Dr. Hilgren retired in 1994, he became the sole owner. In 2002, he expanded the hospital and also added boarding and grooming services. He currently works part-time as he looks toward retirement
Mission — The team at Apache Animal Hospital believes that communication and education are the foundation for successful veterinary care.
