Crooked Creek Animal Hospital began in 1999 when Dr. Charles Edwards and Dr. Staci Rhodes joined forces. After searching for the right location, they transformed a two-story white house at 200 Mimosa Dr. in Pelahatchie, MS into a functional hospital, complete with hardwood floors and an old red barn for large animals. Following months of DIY renovations, the hospital officially opened its doors in May 2000, offering care to both small and large animals.
