Meet Our Namesake
In 1997, Dr. Glassman and her family rescued a big boy dog from the Dutchess County SPCA Shelter in Hyde Park and named him “Roosevelt.” Hyde Park is home to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Historic Site, hence the name choice. When adopted, “Roosevelt” was already a full-grown pup and was said to be a mix of Golden Retriever and German Shepherd. As time went on, Dr. Glassman suspected that he may have actually been a purebred Leonberger. He accompanied Dr. Glassman to Ohio, where she completed her internship, then returned to the Hudson Valley as the pet of a licensed veterinarian.
He stayed an active member of the family until 2005, the same year that Dr. Glassman opened her first practice in Brewster, NY. When deciding what to name her vet practice, her beloved dog came to mind. In thinking it through, she realized she was born at Roosevelt Hospital in NYC. It seemed extremely appropriate that the birth of her first practice would also be called “Roosevelt.”
