"Georgia" Mosher - The Best Dog Ever, 1985-1998
South Athens Animal Clinic is proud to have been an accredited hospital member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) for 28 years. Out of the 800 vet clinics in GA, we are one of only 27 hospitals to be accredited for over 25 years. As an AAHA hospital, South Athens is a well-equipped, prepared, and safety-conscious veterinary hospital. Every 3 years all AAHA member hospitals must open their doors and undergo an exhaustive (just ask our staff!) peer review to assess measures we have in place to assure the practice of quality medical care with a continual focus on the safety of both pets and people.
Dr. Mosher is a native of Atlanta. He attended Furman University on a football scholarship and in 1975 was named team captain and academic all-conference. He received his D.V.M. from the University of Georgia in 1981. Following graduation, he practiced for two years in emergency veterinary medicine and surgery in Winston-Salem, NC and Marietta, GA. In 1984, he became the owner of South Athens Animal Clinic. He has been inducted into Phi Zeta, the veterinary medical honor society and is a past president of the Athens Area Humane Society. Dr. Mosher is a frequent speaker to local civic and school groups and has been featured on local public television segments concerning animal health. He and his wife Tracy have been married for over 30 years and have raised 2 sons and 18 pets (not counting the fish).
Dr. Maureen Singh was born and raised in Florida. She started working at her local veterinary hospital when she was 14 years old.

In 2008, her husband accepted a position at UGA and they moved to Georgia. They have one son, as well as three cats, two dogs and a bird.

Dr. Stout has special interests in surgery and anesthesia and helps two practices with some of the more complicated surgeries. He has been working regularly at South Athens Animal Clinic since 2004. Dr. Stout is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Atsushi Nakao is a veterinarian in Sendai, Japan who spent time assisting Dr. Mosher in the late eighties. Dr Nakao gained such a great appreciation of the Athens community that he named his veterinary practice the Sendai Athens Animal Clinic and asked to use our logo design.
We believe very strongly that a microchip is an important part of helping lost pets reunite with their owners. We have seen many happy pets and owners after they are reunited from use of a microchip! Let us help you and your pet live happily ever after and help AAHS at the same time!
South Athens Animal Clinic has a long-time relationship with Athens Area Humane Society. Dr. Mosher was a past president of AAHS while serving on the board of directors for many years (even helping to pick its current name back in 1989). South Athens discounts medical care to dogs and cats in AAHS’s care and gives monthly donations to AAHS.
Go to www.athenshumanesociety.org to learn more about them. South Athens helps many other worthy nonprofits by discounting medical services as each helps specific dog and cat rescue needs. Some of these organizations include: Campus Cats, SOS Labrador Retriever Rescue, Adopt a Golden, German Shepherd Dog Rescue of Georgia, Pets for Vets (Veterans), Athens PAWs, and Guide Dogs for the Blind.
We also support Butterfly Dreams Farm Therapeutic Riding Program (Butterfly Dreams), a nonprofit offering equine-assisted therapy which Tracy Mosher co-founded. Join us at the annual 5K fundraiser that is held every Labor Day weekend in Watkinsville, GA! Go to www.butterflydreamsfarm.org for more information.
