About me, Tara Blair:
While growing up in Folkston, Georgia, I attended Charlton County Schools and graduated from CCHS in 2000. After graduation I attended the University of Georgia where I majored in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Animal Health (2000-2004). After receiving my Bachelor of Science degree, I attended the University of Georgia Veterinary College (2004-2008). Not only did I receive an excellent education, but I enjoyed amazing experiences (including many UGA football games) and made life-long friends.
​
I began my career in Brunswick, Georgia, where I worked in a clinic for small animals for the past nine years. My goal has always been to open my own veterinary clinic in my hometown. While attending school in Folkston, I shadowed a veterinarian for six years as part of a school program. Opening my own veterinary clinic in my hometown will enable me to give back to my community and perhaps mentor other hopeful veterinarians in our schools.
​
My home is filled with various pets, but the most famous is Tallulah (from Tallulah’s Tips) who is a great dane. She is funny, stubborn, and loveable. Satie, my yellow lab mix, was rescued here, and Maggie Ann, a medium mixed breed, was rescued about 15 years ago. My parents and I also own a chocolate lab, named Timber. All of my dogs are sweethearts and each one has a different personality and funny trait that makes them unique. My most recent rescue is a cat named Stolley, who thinks he is a great dane because he has grown up with Tallulah. I also have three hermit crabs named Hermes, Louie (Vuitton), and Crowely. My world is definitely a better place when there are animals around.
