At Hearts Alive Village, our affordable vet clinic provides high quality care for your pets at fees well below the commercial veterinary clinics. Our focus is on preventative care – spay and neuter, all dental services and blood work.

You won’t see any of us “sit” or “stay.” We’re too busy making sure you and your pet get the care and attention you deserve.

The awesome vets who care for your pets

Dr. Ken discovered his passion for animal welfare and lifesaving in high school when he volunteered for a small, limited admission animal shelter. He graduated from Texas A & M College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013 and completed a specialty internship in Shelter Medicine at The University of Florida. Before joining Hearts Alive in 2021, Dr. Ken spent his career working in two of the largest open admission animal shelters in the country. He applies this knowledge of large animal lifesaving operations to scale up Hearts Alive Village to meet the needs of animals in the Las Vegas community, starting with the most vulnerable.

Documenting the medical condition of victims of animal neglect and abuse for local law enforcement is one of the most rewarding aspects of Dr. Ken’s role at Hearts Alive Village. He also enjoys educating families about preventive care needed to keep their pets healthy. When Dr. Ken isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his “potatoes,” Sweet Potato and Tater Tot, and exploring downtown Las Vegas.

“Too many animals are suffering from preventable diseases. Our goal is to provide affordable vaccines to prevent the pain and suffering, and the financial burden, of falling ill to these diseases.” ~Dr. Ken

Dr. Burgoon hails from Hatboro, PA, so named because hats for soldiers were manufactured there during the Revolutionary War! She did her undergrad work at Penn State University and earned her degree in Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State. As a child she wanted to be either a fighter pilot or a veterinarian. Well, she became the vet and married a fighter pilot! The Air Force brought Dr. Burgoon and her family to Las Vegas three years ago. Her focus at HAV is in preventive medicine and dentistry.

“The Hearts Alive mission means preventing shelter life from ever having to be part of an animal’s journey,” she says. In her free time you may find her riding a horse or practicing yoga. She also enjoys family bike rides, baking and swimming.

“By providing affordable care to the vulnerable animals in our community we can keep them with the families that love them.” ~Dr. Lindsay Burgoon

A graduate of Ohio State University, Dr. Marilyn has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Las Vegas valley since 1998.  She has cared for animals in a variety of small clinics, emergency clinics and shelters over the years, providing relief veterinary service.  She enjoys working with dogs and cats and has a special interest in surgery and dentistry.  Originally from Cleveland, Ohio she now happily resides in Henderson with her husband and 11-year-old rescue Boxer, Rossi.

“Remember to adopt senior dogs, they make great companions and need homes.”  ~Dr. Marilyn Gaunter

CLINIC SERVICES AND FEES

At HAV, your pet gets the highest quality veterinary care possible… at a price you didn’t think possible.

We believe that every animal should receive the care they need, regardless of their family’s financial situation. That’s why we created The Village Fund. When you or your company contribute to the fund,  we can offer additional discounts for those who qualify, and offer payment plans that work within the family’s budget. Last year alone we saved the lives of countless animals through the Village Fund and kept families whole.

$50 pays for an entire preventative healthcare visit.
