Dr. Shelby Ziegler grew up in Gainesville, Florida where she knew at an early age she wanted to care for all sorts of animals. She spent summers and any extra time at a wildlife sanctuary and small animal clinic learning all that she could. Her love for companion animal medicine grew, so she attended the University of Florida for both her undergraduate degree and to receive her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Ziegler followed her husband, Andrew, to Pennsylvania and is super excited to join East York Veterinary Center. Her special interests include exotic animal medicine, including small mammals, avian, and reptile patients, as well as radiology and the human animal bond.

During her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, whether it be kayaking, hiking, or bird-watching, as well as snuggling up with her dog, Jack and leopard tortoise, Tortellini.
