Anna Thomas was a remarkable woman, beloved by all who knew her. She embodied the qualities of a cherished mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law, making everyone feel fortunate to have her in their lives.

Anna's lifelong passion for animals was evident in every stage of her life. She always had pets and ensured that her son, Michael, grew up with them as well. We are immensely grateful for this legacy. Besides her family, two of Anna's great loves were miniature poodles and shoes—she owned over 100 pairs of shoes (though not as many poodles!).

Throughout her life, Anna had several poodles, each one dearly loved. When it came time to create a logo for Anna's Pet Care Fund, the choice was clear. Her son, Dr. R. Michael Thomas, now serves as the President and Owner of Noah's Animal Hospitals, the largest locally-owned, family-operated group of veterinary clinics in central Indiana.

Anna was incredibly proud of her son and loved contributing to the animal hospitals in any way she could. She crafted scarves for the dogs being boarded or groomed and delighted in visiting the clinics to see the cats and dogs under her son's care.

Anna passed away at the age of 87 in 2005. In her honor, Dr. Thomas established Anna's Pet Care Fund to ensure that all pets receive the love, care, and devotion Anna gave to her own animals and to everyone she loved.

"Men are what their mothers made them."
