About Us
Mission Statement
Our mission is to honor the life and memory of Abby Gibson by helping to enrich the lives of East Tennessee's children, teens, and young adults, while fostering a life-long love of animals.
We work to accomplish our mission through the support of programs that provide children and teens with positive, educational and/or therapeutic interactions with animals, and through the support of the Abby Gibson Veterinary Medicine Scholarship, which provides financial assistance to those special young adults who have chosen to dedicate their lives to helping animals and follow their dreams of becoming veterinarians.
