Dr. Marybeth Chaconas, DVM

Veterinarian in Charge

Dr. Marybeth Chaconas became a part of the WAG family in November 2021. She has over 20 years’ experience in high quality, high-volume S/N. Dr. Chaconas made a cross-country move from the mountains of Virginia with her husband, Todd, and their three rescued dogs, German shepherd mix Maddie, Smooth Border collie Senga, and Doberman Tauriel. Dr. Chaconas is very involved in Boy Scout’s Venturing program, supporting high adventure opportunities for youth ages 14-21. She is looking forward to tolerating the rain.

Dr. Bernie Robe, DVM

Veterinarian

Dr. Robe recently retired after 13 years with WAG. He altered over 66,000 animals, preventing the birth of well over 330,000 unwanted pets who would otherwise have been homeless during his tenure with WAG. He has generously agreed to continue with WAG in wellness and surgery, when needed, but is mostly free to pursue his passions of singing opera and spaying cheetahs! And, of course, spending more time with his lovely wife, Diane.  He graduated from Kansas State University in 1995 and practiced small animal medicine in Kansas, South Carolina, and Eugene until 2008 when he joined WAG.

She shares her home with her husband Gavin, daughters Parker and Rian, Doberman Bodhi, Golden Retriever Bumi, and cats Yoshi and Koopa. Prior to her time at WAG, Tracy served for nearly 10 years as a veterinary assistant at Four Corners Veterinary Clinic, performing a multitude of tasks. She began at WAG in 2014 as scheduling coordinator and currently serves as Director of Operations, bringing a wealth of experience to WAG’s programs.

Debbie Brown

Practice Manager

Debbie has been an essential member of WAG since 2014 starting as a volunteer and now the Practice Manager. She enjoys interacting with people and their pets, watching kittens and pups grow up and witnessing the strong bond between humans and animals. From volunteering at shelters to fostering bottle babies, animals have been a part of Debbie’s life ever since she can remember. She is a mother of three beautiful daughters, all of whom share her passion for animals. At home her heart belongs to Lilly–a border collie mix–plus one demanding feline, Gracie.
