Off duty, Dr. Ford founded her own non-profit rescue in 2001, which provides medical, surgical and preventative care to ill and injured homeless dogs and cats who would otherwise be euthanized. She routinely works with animal shelters providing veterinary services and works with her church to provide monthly meals for the homeless. For fun, she likes a good romance novel or shopping a good sale. She also likes spending time with her four children, three of whom are triplets. Their family dog is a 110-pound lab/golden retriever mix named Rocky, and their five cats are Buckwheat, Black Jack, Butters, Pesto and Katie.
