Our offices newly opened in October of 2017. Dr. Kirby started his own Hometown Veterinary Services in an ambulance where he made house calls. The building on 471 was a lifelong dream that started in June of 1997. In the fall of 2016, Dr. Plunkett and Dr. Kirby started their journey of forming a partnership. That partnership led to building what is now Hometown Veterinary Hospital, the largest privately owned practice in Mississippi
