Jennifer Kerley was raised in Sturgeon Bay. Her parents and younger brother returned to her mother's home town following her father's retirement from the US Navy. Growing up in a small town afforded Jen to have lots of time playing outside, growing to love nature and animals. Always an animal lover, the plan to become a veterinarian came later in life...
Jennifer graduated with honors from St. Norbert College in 1995 with a degree in Biology. During her senior year in college volunteering at the Bay Area Humane Society and the New Zoo reinforced her desire to help animals. After observing at a local veterinary clinic, the decision was solidified. In 2000, she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from UW-Madison. Following graduation, Jennifer moved to Portland, Oregon and practiced in a busy multi-doctor walk-in clinic for five years. As they say, there is no place like home, so Jen headed back to the Midwest.... Dr. Kerley has special interests in dermatology, pain management, internal medicine, feline medicine, and shelter medicine. She helps the Door County Humane Society on her days off by examining sick animals and helping institute protocols to keep the animals there healthy. Jennifer has worked at Peninsula Veterinary Service and Luxemburg Pet Clinic over the last eleven years. Jen is excited to continue helping the pets and families of Door and Kewaunee Counties at Door County Veterinary Hospital and Luxemburg Pet Clinic.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Jordan, and two sons, Kenton and Carver. The family hobbies include boating, fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, and anything else you can do outside. Gidget is the geriatric family cat she rescued during Veterinary School. Captain, a Border Collie-Springer mix adopted from the DCHS, is the newest addition to the Kobilca Family.
