Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Adele Hendrix grew up in Champaign, Illinois, and decided she wanted to be a veterinarian after going to the University of Illinois Veterinary Open Houses as a little girl, though she took a bit of an unusual path to reach that goal. After finishing her undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, Dr. Hendrix graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctorate and then practiced law in Madison, Wisconsin. She then returned to school and graduated with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin. After that, she spent 18 years practicing veterinary medicine in Georgia in the greater Atlanta area. Additionally during this time she wrote articles and gave presentations on legal issues facing veterinarians and also wrote a series of articles on common feline diseases for a veterinary health company in Germany.
