About Mary-Elizabeth Ellard

Dr. Mary-Elizabeth Ellard hails from Atlanta. After fifteen years in private practice, she answered the call to serve its local shelters.

She currently works with Lifeline Animal Project, Spay-Neuter Vets, and Jazzy Paw, Inc. providing high quality high volume spay-neuter and affordable care for rescues, shelters, and low-income clients. Dr. Ellard’s other passion is history. She speaks regularly on veterinary medicine during the American Civil War and leads historic tours in Atlanta. She serves as a trustee and Secretary of the Georgia Battlefields Association and is a past president of the Atlanta Civil War Round Table. She teaches Bible and Biblical history at Peachtree Christian Church. She and her husband Bill live with a pampered shelter cat named Annabelle.
