We first met Gidget and Sydney back in 2011. The rescued sisters’ various health challenges quickly earned them the moniker: “Lemon Sisters.” From typical rambunctious puppy mischief to inherited health issues, they’ve been frequent APCC visitors. Gidget and Sydney’s pet parents, grateful that finances never had to play a part in health decisions (they highly recommended pet insurance!) and moved by the recent loss of one of their Lemons, have graciously established the Lemon Sisters Grant in partnership with APCC. The grant’s purpose is to help pet families in challenging situations. The hope is that this is just the beginning. The Lemon Sisters and their pet parents hope you’ll be inspired to join us in spreading some kindness. With additional generous support from our client base, our dream is that this grant will grow and become a robust safety net for those in need. Please contact us if you’re interested in donating to the fund or learning more.

There is no coincidence in the shared last name. Tim is Dr. Wheaton’s younger brother and has been around APCC and the staff since its inception. Life has come full-circle in that way, as Tim and his brother used to spend nearly every day during summers in their youth at their Dad’s veterinary practice in Corona Del Mar. Dr. Wheaton was always the son destined to follow in their father’s footsteps, while Tim was always the more creative-minded one of the two.

Tim and his wife have two kids of their own and two furry children (Rusty & Audrey), sibling cats adopted from The Pet Rescue Center in 2011.

Tim will be keeping you up to date with APCC happenings via social media – Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram – with pictures, pet health tips, travel tips and ways to keep your babies happy and healthy.
