She opened Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic in December 2011, determined to have a veterinary clinic that provided excellent medicine and surgery, yet felt warm,friendly, and welcoming to both clients and patients. In her free time, Dr. Postle enjoys spending time with her two children and working on her horse farm.

Dr. Alexa Lundy is originally from Rocky Gap, VA where she developed a love for animals on her family’s farm. She moved to Eastern Tennessee after completing her under-grad degree, where she attended Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout her time in school, Dr. Lundy accumulated a variety of animals as pets, including a one-eyed dog and a three legged cat. Now Dr. Lundy enjoys reading for fun and watching trashy reality television. More than anything, though, she loves caring for the animals within our small community.

My name is Dr. Deidre Crutchfield and I am a heartfelt pet owner and have been for as long as I have memories. My passion for pets has been the reason I devoted my career to Veterinary Medicine. I began my professional path in my teenage years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Princeton WV, and later in Charlotte, NC. Eventually, I applied for Veterinary College and was accepted to Colorado State University’s Veterinary medical program. There I excelled in small animal care and graduated in 2014 with my DVM. Since that time, I moved back to Princeton, WV where I serve many clients and their pets. Also, in my life I have a wonderful supportive family – a husband of over twenty years, a son and two daughters. I love spending time with them watching movies, playing board games, doing puzzles, and going to a nice spot outside when time and weather permit. If I get some alone time, I enjoy reading a good mystery novel.

Dr. Maia Broussard DVM, CVA, CCRP is a graduate of North Carolina State University with more than 30 years in veterinary medicine. In addition to her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Broussard is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (although these services are not generally offered at HTVC). As a general practice relief veterinarian, she focuses on preventative care and maintaining quality of life for as long as possible for pets and their owners. Sometimes this means addressing pain/mobility, skin, ear or gastrointestinal issues. Other times it is planning the best vaccination schedule or parasite control plan for a given family, or even helping out when it is time to say goodbye. At home in North Carolina and West Virginia Maia shares her life with her husband, 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 goldfish, a frog, and farm animals including yaks, cows, horses and chickens. With what free time is left she enjoys reading, cooking, hiking and other outdoor activities.

Dr. Josh Burnette is a veterinarian whose practice is limited to small animal soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. Following graduation, Dr. Burnette completed a small animal medicine and surgery rotating internship at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in Lafayette, Indiana, where he developed a strong foundation in complex case management. He then pursued a specialty internship in small animal surgery at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in Houston, Texas, gaining advanced experience in both orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. Dr. Burnette is currently continuing his specialty training in small animal surgery at University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where he is also pursuing a PhD in Comparative and Experimental Medicine. His research focuses on synovial biomarkers—particularly cell-free DNA—to better diagnose and characterize joint disease, with translational applications in both veterinary and human medicine. Outside of the hospital, Dr. Burnette enjoys spending time outdoors hiking and kayaking. His dog, Jupiter, and cat, Archie, have traveled across the country with him throughout his training and remain constant companions on his journey.

Hey all, I am Yoshiko Gibson. I am blessed to say I have been a veterinary assistant for more than half of my life (27 years and counting). I started my career in Virginia Beach and am so thankful to be continuing my career at Happy Tails. It has been an absolute joy caring for these furry patients and building relationships with their families through the years. I get to come home to my husband, my human children, and my fur children each day and tell them all about my adventures at work.

Hi there, my name is Lindsey Anderson! Born in North Carolina, I’ve spent most of my life in southern West Virginia and am very proud of my Appalachian roots. I’ve been with my Happy Tails family for roughly 3.5 years now and adore every minute of it. I graduated from Concord University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology (Pre-Professional) degree in 2020, while starting in this field two years prior. My intentions were to gain this degree to pursue a career as a veterinarian; however, as I stepped into the world of veterinary medicine, I became more fond of veterinary technician work! I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for roughly seven years now.

In recent years, I have become very interested in earning the title of RVT and continuing my education to give all pets (especially cats) exceptional care. When I’m not at work, my husband and I spend time with our three cats– Biscuit, Mozzy, and Toasty. My parents and I have been into cat rescue for years, so I also help out with care of their cats whenever I can. Yoga, crafting, videogames, and reading are some of my biggest hobbies!

Hi, my name is Brooke, and I am a vet tech here at Happy Tails! I was raised in Princeton, but moved to Roanoke, VA in 2020, which is where I began my career in veterinary medicine. I recently moved back to the area and was excited to join the Happy Tails team last year! I truly love every minute of helping pets and the people who love them. I am passionate about providing compassionate, attentive care and making each visit as stress free and positive as possible for both pets and their owners.

At home, I’m a proud pet mom to my two dogs, Bexley and Cash, and my cat, Marge, who continually remind me why I love working in veterinary medicine and inspire me to treat every patient as if they were my own.
