About Mary-Elizabeth Ellard

Dr. Mary-Elizabeth Ellard hails from Atlanta. She has conducted research in both prosimian primate and equine behavior. After fifteen years in private practice, she answered the call to serve its local shelters. Since then, she has worked with shelters and rescues in Georgia and South Carolina providing both surgical and medical services. She currently works with Jazzy Paw, Inc. and Spay-Neuter Vets providing high-quality-high-volume-spay-neuter 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 of the Georgia Battlefields Association and is a Past President of the Atlanta Civil War Round Table. She teaches Bible at Peachtree Christian Church. She and her husband Bill live with a pampered shelter cat named Annabelle.
