Creswell Heroes. Dr. Lauren Furrer, Veterinarian and Owner of Barn & Home Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Lauren Furrer has spent over 15 years serving the animals of Creswell and surrounding areas. As a veterinarian specializing in both small and large animals, including livestock and mobile vet services, she filled a crucial need for the community. “There was a void that I was able to fill as a veterinarian,” she explains, highlighting the lack of specialized care available locally. In addition to her veterinary practice, Dr. Furrer is involved in local events like Career Fairs and educational talks. She works with rescues and sanctuaries, helping abandoned animals and ensuring farm animals remain healthy. Her work with the Welcome Home Animal Sanctuary even earned Creswell international attention when she helped get Romeo, the World’s Tallest Living Steer, recognized. For Dr. Furrer, her work goes beyond the animals: "If the animals are healthy and happy, so are the people." Motivated by her strong family ties in the area, Dr. Furrer is committed to ensuring that Creswell continues to have access to quality veterinary care and remains a vibrant community for both its people and animals.
