About
North Jackson Animal Clinic

Dr. Randall “Randy” A. Smith grew up in Bridgeport, Alabama, where his family has lived for generations. He graduated from Bridgeport High School in 1970 and went directly to Auburn University to pursue a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Smith graduated from Auburn with the class of 1977. Aware from a young age that the people of this area needed the services of a veterinarian, he came back to help the people with whom he grew up, in the part of the country he loved. Dr. Smith is the father of 3 daughters, Klancie, Hilarie, and Mollie, and now the grandfather to 9 grandchildren, 6 boys, and 3 girls.

Dr. Smith loves the outdoors, is an avid gardener, and is involved in the American Chestnut Foundation. He is a member of the Bridgeport Church of Christ and does some mission work overseas. Dr. Smith has made his life’s work to care for the people and animals of this area.

Kathy Smith’s official title is Office Manager, but she is really just the boss’s wife. Kathy met and married Randy while they were at Auburn, and over the years she has carried many titles, and worn many hats, as they say.

Kathy grew up in Clinton, Mississippi, the daughter of a fire chief and a registered nurse. Kathy graduated from Clinton High School in 1971 and graduated from Auburn University in March 1974 with a degree in Education. Kathy taught school from March 1974 until retiring in October 2004. Kathy retired planning to write a book or take “it” easy, but plans changed.

In February 2005, Kathy came to work at North Jackson Animal Clinic to spend her retirement helping Randy, and the staff, find ways to improve the services offered at North Jackson Animal Clinic. After leaving her job as an educator, she misses working with children, and she has had to learn how to handle all her new responsibilities, but Kathy finds great rewards helping others.

Mollie began working in the clinic after school during her teenage years and has been with us for over ten years. She is a graduate from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga with a degree in Biology and is currently attending Northeast Alabama Community College. In her spare time, Mollie enjoys spending time with her husband Brent, son Henry, and pets Sadie, Stuey, Belle, and Itchy. Mollie has a passion for all animals and loves working to keep them healthy!

Lynette has lived most of her life in Bridgeport. Over the past thirty years she has worked in many facets from industry to the local school system. She has been with the clinic since August 2015. She enjoys spending time with her husband Darren and their four children and three grandchildren. She has what she considers a mini –farm. It includes a Golden Retriever, Mini Schnauzer, Mini Husky, Standard Poodle, Zebu cow, Mini Donkeys, Pygmy Goat, and Chickens.
