Dr. Rebecca Froelich, Practice Owner
I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania where animals were a large part of my life. However it wasn't until high school that I decided I wanted to be a veterinarian. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree from Penn State University in 1989 and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Illinois in 1993. Very early in my veterinary school days I realized that, although horses are what brought me into this profession, dogs and cats are my passion to treat as a veterinarian.
After graduation I married, moved to Arlington and in May of 1994, I found my home here at Jason-Little Road Animal Clinic. Being able to help you and your pets brings me fulfillment every day. I value most the relationships we have built over the years and look forward to the new ones to come.
I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Veterinary Medical Association and Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Association. I also am very proud to have Jason-Little Road Animal Clinic be certified as an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) hospital. Maintaining this distinction and level of practice is very important to me.
My personal life includes a wonderful husband, Wayne and five children, Nicole, Thomas, Gavin, Dakota, and Serenity; two dogs, Cagney and Logan; two cats, Zack and Theo; and Jasmine my horse. In my free time I love reading, riding, and taking care of my family. The clinic is my pride and joy and I am blessed to have such wonderful staff members and clients. Thank you for being
a part of my family here in Texas. |

Dr. Nancy Bader
When I was growing up in Alabama, I was inspired to become a veterinarian, and pursued my dream at Auburn University, earning a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1978. I moved to Texas soon after graduation, and have been associated with our clinic since its inception in 1980. I really enjoy doing surgery at our clinic and working part time. I am grateful that every day we get to celebrate the wonderful relationship between companion pets and their owners.
I have a teenage son and four pets. My dog Abby is a young Sheltie that just graduated from obedience school, and our cats are named Bob and Bittie. Our newest addition is a Boston Terrier pup named Mike. My hobbies are reading, swimming, cycling, and walking my dogs.
I enjoy being active in my profession, having served as a past officer in the Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Association and past board member of the Airport Freeway Animal Emergency Clinic. I maintain active memberships in our state and national professional associations and enjoy pursuing continuing education through these groups. I feel lucky to be a part of a wonderful profession that allows me to help pets and their owners. |

Dr. Margaret Thompson
I was seven years old when I first announced to my parents that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I have enjoyed being a part of this profession since completing my DVM degree in 1982. For sixteen years I owned a small animal practice in the mid-cities area.
I have two adult children, one grandson & a mixed breed dog, Ruth, who is my beloved companion. My part time work gives me more time for family, recreation, and volunteer work. Some of my favorite activities, outside of spending time with family, are veterinary medical mission work and paddling my solo canoe on white water rivers.
I have been a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Texas Veterinary Medical Association and Dallas & Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Associations since 1982; a member of the Texas Academy of Veterinary Practice (which requires 50 hours of continuing education each year) since 1993; and am a past member of the Cornell Feline Research Center. I am listed in Who's Who in Veterinary Medicine & Science. I have been with the team here since October of 2005.
I am delighted to have the privilege of caring for the animals God has given us to enrich our lives. It is truly a joy to work with our clients to maximize their pets' health, thus giving both pet and client a better quality of life. |

After a 31-year career as a public school teacher, I started working at Jason-Little Road Animal Clinic when I enrolled in the veterinary technology distance-learning program at Cedar Valley College in 2002. I was born in California but consider myself a Texan having lived in the Lone Star State for more than half my life. I live in Arlington with my dogs, cats, and horses. I consider myself lucky to be able to go to work each day and see my "furry friends." |
