About Dr. Lionell Smith

I grew up in the beautiful countryside of Central Kentucky, where I was exposed to a variety of animals. I was always bringing home some critter, or trying to nurse one back to health. We opened our home to a motley crew of stray cats who became family. The special connection I developed with these pets made becoming a veterinarian a natural choice. 

I attended the University of Kentucky, and then graduated from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout my years of practice in small animal medicine, I witnessed the beauty of the human-animal bond every day. I’ve been honored to help families from their first puppy or kitten visit through the difficulty of saying goodbye. When it was time for my own dog, Dharma, to transition, I was able to help her pass peacefully at home, surrounded by love and with a belly full of her favorite treats. That experience made me decide to devote the rest of my career to end-of-life care, to give every pet the peace, love, and dignity they deserve. 

Outside of work, I enjoy painting, making jewelry, reading crime novels, watching detective shows and nature documentaries, and spending time with my pets Fiona, Guinness, Fernando, and Westley. 

About Dr. Sheena Odenweller

I am a veterinarian devoted to providing peaceful, compassionate end-of-life care for beloved pets in the comfort of their homes, surrounded by the people who love them. My passion for hospice and euthanasia care grew from a desire to support both animals and the people who love them. I believe that saying goodbye is one of the most sacred moments a family can experience with their animal companion, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside them during that time. 

I understand that pets are family, and I prioritize dignity, comfort, and individualized care for each patient. I value clear communication, emotional presence, and thoughtful guidance, helping families make decisions rooted in compassion rather than fear. By using a calm presence and gentle approach, I strive to create space for families to grieve, reflect, and love fully in their pet’s final moments.

I believe deeply in resilience, healing, and the power of love—lessons my patients and their families continue to teach me every day.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy running, theater, and spending time with my children.
