Appomattox Animal Hospital

At Appomattox Animal Hospital, we believe veterinary medicine should feel personal. As a locally owned practice rooted in Central Virginia, our goal is to provide thoughtful, compassionate care while building lasting relationships with the families who trust us with their pets. Our team is committed to providing modern veterinary care in a welcoming environment where pets and people alike feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is here for a routine visit, surgery, boarding, or urgent care, we strive to make every experience supportive, honest, and personal

My name is Elizabeth Lee, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new owner and veterinarian at Appomattox Animal Hospital. I am honored to continue the hospital’s legacy and to serve this community with a focus on local, family-oriented, community-based care. I grew up in nearby Lynchburg and spent much of my childhood at my family’s property in Amherst. After attending Virginia Tech for both undergraduate education and veterinary school, I returned home. My husband and I chose to settle in Spout Spring, drawn by the charm of an older house with land for our dogs to enjoy. Although my immediate family is from Lynchburg and Amherst, our roots in Appomattox run deep. My great-great-grandfather, Henry Washington Lee, and his family lived in Appomattox for many generations. My great-grandfather later moved to a farm on the James River in Amherst, which is how my branch of the family eventually left Appomattox
