Dr. Offner Named Chief Veterinarian At County Pet Resource Center
Hillsborough County recently welcomed Dr. Mallory Offner as chief veterinarian at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center.
Dr. Offner had served as a PRC staff veterinarian from 2016-2018 and led the department’s efforts to treat parvo-infected dogs and puppies. More than 40 dogs have been treated for parvo at PRC since the program began in March 2018 with a success rate of 90 percent. Previously, parvo was predominantly a fatal diagnosis.
Dr. Offner earned her veterinary degree at the University of Florida and previously has served as staff veterinarian with the San Diego (California) Humane Society and the SPCA Florida shelter in Lakeland.
She will oversee a department that performed nearly 8,000 dog and cat sterilizations last year in the department’s ongoing effort to reduce pet overpopulation. PRC veterinarians performed an additional 277 life-saving surgeries and specialized treatments last year on pets that otherwise would not have been adopted or rescued. In all, the PRC staff cared for more than 17,000 dogs and cats last year.
The Pet Resource Center is the county’s only open admissions shelter, meaning it accepts all dogs and cats regardless of age, weight, breed or health.

Probate And Estate Planning Attorney Surprises Veteran Families
Ashley Ivanov is a probate and estate planning attorney in Hillsborough County who has a heart for serving and giving back to the community, including veterans.
In recognition of Memorial Day and the brave men and women who have sacrificially served our country, Ivanov recently surprised two veteran families with complimentary estate plans.
“I actually saw one of these families from a distance at an event in honor of their son,” she said. “I didn’t know much at that time about Gold Star families. I was moved by the story of Army Corporal Frank Gross who had sacrificially put service to his country above himself. Frank was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011, and throughout this all, his parents, Craig and Toni Gross, have relentlessly continued to serve the community and bring about Gold Star awareness.”
The other family involved a veteran from Brandon who returned from his military service with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Being married with children, adjusting back to a civilian life has not been easy. His venture into writing military fiction novels has been a way for him to use his talent for healing and to also help others overcome this debilitating illness.
Apart from serving with the Hillsborough County Bar Association’s Community Services Committee, volunteering with Feed the Bay in Brandon and serving with her church and fellow Rotarians of the FishHawk Riverview Rotary, she is a frequent guest speaker at public events hosted by a regional public library and retirement community center in Hillsborough County.
