The comedy feature film, "Good Intentions" recently released on DVD, was filmed partly in Decatur and produced by Decatur-based film production company Shadowlig ht Pictures. Elaine Hendrix, lead actress in the film, and Shadowlight combine their efforts to support In Defense of Animals (www.idausa.org) an organization for the ethical treatment of animals. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the movie's DVD will go to IDA. Go to the website link below to purchase the DVD and enter promotion code IDAUSA at checkout .

The film also features Leann Rimes, Luke Perry and Jon Gries. There is also a VERY small cameo by our own Dr. Will Draper:).

The Village Vets website now has Client Forms available online for your convenience. Not only can filling them out at home save you time when you arrive for your appointment, but it also provides you privacy and the additional time you may need to answer questions more thoroughly.

Each form can be filled out and submitted electronically, or can be printed and brought in with you to your appointment - whatever works best for you.

Also available on our website is our Client Satisfaction Survey that we encourage clients to go to our website and fill out following their visit to The Village Vets.

The video is scheduled to be available on the WebMD web site after March 11. Check it out!
