Robert L. Goring, DVM, DACVS Angel Memorial Fund

Dr. Goring attended Michigan State University where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1977. Dr. Goring completed his residency at the University of Florida in 1983, becoming a board-certified veterinary surgeon. He served on the faculty of the University of Florida Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences from 1983 to 1991, where he became widely respected as an exceptional teacher and mentor. During those formative years, he helped train generations of surgical residents and interns, instilling in them not only technical excellence but also humility, integrity, and compassion.

Those who knew Dr. Goring will remember his quiet strength, his generosity, his deep respect for the human-animal bond and his unwavering commitment to do what was right. His compassion, wisdom, and example will continue to inspire generations of veterinarians and all those who knew him. He will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever honored by the people he taught, mentored, and encouraged to become the very best version of themselves

To honor his memory, we have established the “Robert L. Goring, DVM Angel Memorial Fund. The funds will continue his legacy by helping families access affordable specialty veterinary care for their beloved pets, a cause that was always close to his heart.
