Morgan Russ

DVM

Dr. Morgan Russ grew up not far from here in Deland, FL. While earning her bachelor's degree in Biology from Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College, Dr. Russ interned and worked at the Volusia County Marine Science Center in the sea turtle hospital and education department where she fell in love with sea turtle rehab and conservation. This was the driving force behind her decision to go to veterinary school at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts. While attending classes she also worked closely with the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network doing field research with juvenile foraging sea turtles. Dr. Russ made sure to bring her two dogs, Stella and Roxie, to St. Kitts with her. While there Dr. Russ adopted her first and second cat Wanda and Kesh. After pre-clinical on St. Kitts, she left the island, and completed her clinical year at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine where she adopted her third cat Evie. Not only does Dr. Russ have her dogs and cats, but she rounds her family out with three adorable cows! Dr. Russ loves anything water related including snorkeling, diving, and kayaking. She has a passion for traveling and is always already planning her next adventure.
