Hi, I’m Dr. Rue (Kendra) Rushing!
I grew up in Alaska, but have lived in Washington since starting high school. After getting a BA in English Literature at Western Washington University, I found my way across the mountains to attend veterinary school at Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
Upon receiving my DVM, I completed a rotating internship in Denver, CO and a surgical internship in Kirkland, WA.
I love exploring and travel. Grace, who you met on the front page, joined me on many a local adventure. She ultimately developed cruciate tears in both her knees, which required rehabilitation to get her back to tip-top shape. That’s when my love for rehab started, which then led me to discover acupuncture.
Through additional training with the Canine Rehabilitation Institute, I have become both a Certified Veterinary Acupuncture Therapist (CVAT) and Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT).
With these tools I decided to establish Grace Veterinary Services so I could provide medicine I am passionate about for clients like you!
I am so excited to be able to practice the type of medicine I love in such a beautiful place.
Keep reading to learn more about my interests.
Outside of veterinary medicine I enjoy reading, aerial and pole fitness, escape rooms, collecting tattoos, and going all-out on seasonal crafts.
I live in West Seattle with my husband, three stepsons, one stepdog, and five cats.
