Dr. Sally Parks

Originally from the Barrie area, Dr. Sally graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1981. She grew up on a mixed farm and could always be found playing with cats, kittens, dogs and puppies.  After graduation, she worked at a small animal clinic in Rexdale, for four years before marriage brought her to Walkerton. In 1993, together with Dr. Linda and both with young families, they purchased Mullen’s from Dr. Wayne Murray. He in turn had bought the practice from the original owner, Dr. Jerry Mullen, who retired in1980. Dr. Parks veterinary interests include working with cats and small breed dogs, internal medicine and dentistry. She has been a past member of the One Health/Rabies Committee of the GBVA for many years.  Outside of work she enjoys golf, nature photography, bird watching, hiking, travelling and gardening. Her and Dr. Bolton tend a flower bed at the Walkerton Heritage Water Garden, dedicated to the victims of the 2001 E. Coli tragedy, of which she lived through. Past pets have included a miniature poodle, a whippet, three yorkies, a DSH cat, and three Siamese. She currently is a cat mom to Binx, a friendly and mischievous fellow, who was adopted from the clinic in 2023. Binx was relinquished to us after developing urinary issues in his previous multi-cat household.
