Handsboro Animal Hospital
About Handsboro Animal Hospital
Handsboro Animal Hospital is a locally owned veterinary clinic located at 1445 East Pass Road in Gulfport, Mississippi, with a history of serving the Gulf Coast community that stretches back to the mid-1950s when it was established as Cole Animal Hospital by Dr. E.W. Cole. The clinic was later renamed Handsboro Animal Hospital by Dr. R.C. Williams in 1972, and in February 2023, Dr. Neely Gaddy Beaugez purchased the practice, bringing fresh leadership while preserving the trust and continuity that generations of Gulf Coast families have come to rely on.
Dr. Gaddy and her staff are dedicated to providing each patient with convenient, personal, and reliable veterinary care across every stage of a pet's life. The clinic welcomes new kitten and puppy patients for first check-ups as well as senior pets requiring ongoing monitoring. They serve families throughout Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach, Ocean Springs, Gautier, Saucier, and Wiggins. For pet owners facing end-of-life decisions, the experienced clinical team can offer guidance on next steps and help coordinate with aftercare providers in the region.
