Jerri O'Donohoe-Robinett
Practice Manager
Born in Galveston, Texas and attended grade school at Our Lady of Guadalupe, junior high school at O’Connell High School and graduated from Ball High School in 1980. Growing up, my family always had a dog and a cat, and as an adult I can’t remember NOT having an animal companion.
We now have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I knew from an early age how much I loved animals. I started playing softball when I was 7 because my Grandmother coached a girl’s softball team. I ended up playing softball well into my early thirty’s. I started working construction on the ship channel in 1989. I attended San Jacinto College and received my certification in Occupational Safety & Health Technology in 1999. For 20 years, I worked as a Safety Manager in the oil and gas industry. Then in 2002, I met Dr Robinett and she spoke about opening an animal rehabilitation facility. In 2008, Veterinary Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic opened. In 2009 I was happy to become a part of the office staff helping to take care of all the wonderful animals that need our services.

Drew Robinett - O'Donohoe
Clinic Mascot
Drew was rescued from a shelter by Golden Beginnings Golden Retriever rescue as a puppy. He had been infected by neospora caninum, before he was even born and due to the infection affecting his spinal cord he was unable to walk. Golden Beginnings started bringing Drew to VCRC for rehabilitation therapies and he was fostered by Dr. Robinett and Jerri O'Donohoe who had the privilege of adopting him after investing so much time and energy into helping Drew learn how to walk.
Now Drew inspires other patients who can not walk to not give up hope. It is very rare for a puppy affected with neospora to be able to walk, and Drew can not only walk he can run, play and even go up and down stairs!
