Dr. Leighanne

Dr. Leighanne Wright joined Palmetto Animal League in January 2021 as the Director of Veterinary Services.

She chose veterinary medicine as a second profession after spending her early career teaching Spanish to middle and high school students. Dr. Leighanne’s passion for the health of her own dogs, cats, and horses drove her to pursue a life-long dream of becoming a veterinarian.

Her career path as a vet has been wide and varied. Dr. Leighanne has worked in equine and farm animal care, university-level teaching of equestrian studies, welfare of film and TV animal actors, and at a small animal wellness practice. She brings to PAL a breadth of experience and an eagerness to contribute to the well-being of the beloved pets of our clients, as well as PAL’s adoptable pets. 

In her personal time, Dr. Leighanne enjoys walking her dogs on country roads and taking her horse out for quiet trail rides.
