Dr. Blair Willman-Hauk was born and raised in the small farming community of Lonoke, Arkansas. Her fondest childhood memories are those of rescuing abandoned animals on her father’s farm. Helping these animals sparked a strong desire to become a veterinarian. To fulfill her goal, Dr. Hauk studied biology at Southern Methodist University and attended Louisiana State University, where she graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine.
After veterinary school, Dr. Hauk was selected for an internship in veterinary medicine and surgery at Alameda East Veterinary Hospital in Denver, Colorado, which is the home of Animal Planet’s Emergency Vets. During the internship, she was featured in two seasons of Animal Planet’s E-Vet Interns. Dr. Hauk is currently a regular guest on local TV station, KARK, where she encourages pet adoptions from shelters and educates the public about better caring for their pets.
Dr. Hauk is very grateful to be able to fulfill her life-long dream of being a veterinarian. She especially loves diagnosing difficult problems and treating sick pets. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities such as biking, boating, and snow skiing with her wonderful husband, Hunter, and amazing son, Sterling. She also loves just relaxing at home with her cats, “Bobby and Skitty” [citation].
