Dr. Meghan McIntosh grew up in southern California and is currently an Associate Veterinarian at Rancho Santa Fe Veterinary Hospital in Solana Beach. She received a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Johns Hopkins University and earned a Veterinary Medicinae Doctorate degree (VMD) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.
In addition, she completed a highly competitive rotating internship in small animal internal medicine, surgery, emergency and critical care at the New England Animal Medical Center in Boston.
Dr. McIntosh is honored to be a part of the Dog Dreams Foundation team, not only because she strongly believes in community outreach, but she is also aware of the financial limitations and stresses that non-profits face.
She has volunteered for various animal health and welfare organizations over the years such as the Native American Veterinary Services, Greyhound Pets of America, and Community Led Animal Welfare (CLAW) as part of the Vets-in-the-Wild Program through EcoLife Expeditions in South Africa. She would like to share her knowledge and expertise to help alleviate the cost of medical care, no matter how routine or advanced, that rescues are often faced with.
As part of the Dog Dreams Foundation team, rescues will more easily get placed in forever homes, doors to additional fostering opportunities will open, and more resources can become available for educational and community services.
She looks forward to playing a vital role in this beautiful cycle of healing and recovery. In her free time, Dr. McIntosh enjoys running marathons, hiking, reading, and devouring any type of dessert. She particularly enjoys greyhounds and has a goofy rescue named LeRoy.
