We were established as 'Memorial-610 Animal Clinic' in 1968 by Austin W. Weedn, D.V.M., a member of the first class to graduate from the Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State University) College of Veterinary Medicine in 1951. Dr. Weedn first practiced nearby, in an old 'Quonset hut' building on North Post Oak Road. ... After twenty-six years of exemplary service to pets, clients, and his profession, Dr. Weedn retired from Veterinary Practice in 1978. Dr. David N. Shell, who joined the practice in 1975, took his place. Nine years later, in 1987, the practice was relocated to new facilities about one mile West, at the present location on Antoine Drive. ... Dr. Shell practiced medicine and surgery until 2008, when he retired and left the reigns to his partner, Dr. Stephen T. Pittenger, who he hired in 1995. The 'Memorial-610 Hospital for Animals' continues a string of service to the Memorial/Spring Branch/Tanglewood communities of Houston that started in 1951
