Dr. Laura Morefield
Dr. Morefield decided long ago (when she was five years old, to be exact) that she wanted to be a veterinarian, and she never gave up on that dream. At Caring Hearts, we consider ourselves lucky that she was determined to make that happen, as now we can offer her expertise to our clients!
After growing up in Northern Virginia as one of four kids, Dr. Morefield pursued both her undergrad and veterinary degree at Virginia Tech (go Hokies!) making Blacksburg her official home away from home. She’s no stranger to hard work, and has held various positions while growing up, including being a kennel cleaner at vet hospitals, selling beer at a baseball park, and even working for the FBI in Quantico, Virginia!
Today, Dr. Morefield resides with her husband of 29 years, their three dogs, and two cats. While they are very well-traveled, in more recent years they’ve nested into the joy of being homebodies and taking care of their property and beloved pets.
Dr. Morefield’s hobbies include hot yoga, woodworking, “upcycling” antiques, and dog training. She has competed in multiple agility and trick competitions with her own pets (specifically her two younger Blue Heelers, Carly and Jyn), including the “So You Think You Can Bark” competition and the AKC Virtual Trick Competition, in which she won second and first place. The newest addition to the family is her dog, McGee. All have differing personalities, but are loved equally!
Dr. Morefield is a woman of many skills, but as far as veterinary preferences, her favorite things to do are surgeries, acupuncture, and physical therapy on dogs and cats.
