About Us

Dr Donna graduated at the end of 2009 has been a dedicated member of the clinic since January 2010 and, together with Dr Lisa, bought the clinic in 2022. She wanted to be a vet since childhood. She is passionate about small animal medicine and surgery and enjoys educating owners on prevention control and pain management.

Dr Donna has four dogs. Kenny was adopted through the clinic. She also has Ginny, a crossbreed, who was adopted from the Animal Anti Cruelty League. Bodi is a little terrier Maltese cross and Rupa an American Bully who was a bottle baby. She also has four cats: Siggy, Harvey, Orbison and Balvenie.

In her free time away from the clinic she spends her time with her horse Bourbon, reading, taking her dogs on hikes, and spending time with friends.

Dr Lisa graduated from Onderstepoort Veterinary School in 2009 and has been a dedicated member of the Hennie Alberts Vet team since 2012. In 2022, she and her colleague, Dr. Donna, purchased the practice, continuing its long-standing tradition of compassionate, high-quality veterinary care.

At home, Dr Lisa is kept on her toes by her four rescue dogs—Vader, Rosie, Corbin, and Georgia—who have taken it upon themselves to creatively redesign parts of her house. She also shares her life with a rather dignified cat named Montgomery and three spirited horses—Kaden, Woody, and Pascal—who keep her grounded (and in the saddle) when she’s not in the clinic. Each of her animals has a distinct personality, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dr Lisa enjoys all aspects of veterinary care, with particular interests in soft tissue surgery and client education. She is deeply passionate about animal welfare and values building strong, trusting relationships with her clients. For her, being a vet is not just a profession, but a privilege.

Leigh has adopted two dogs, one cat, and a couple of sheep into her family.

Luna is a very spoilt foxie cross with a big personality. Sheba is a sensitive mix breed who loves attention. Skittles is a beautiful, lovable kitty. She has a small herd of ten pet sheep, each with their own name.

Armand started working at HAVC in April 2022. You may have seen him on TV.

He absolutely loves being in the frontline and assisting people with their fur babies as he has a huge passion for animals, ranging from snakes and spiders to dogs and cats and everything in between.

His love for animals started from a young age with him catching and keeping all sorts of creepy creatures.

He became a game ranger, professional snake handler and worked with captive wild life clinics in Limpopo.

That journey brought him to HAVC where he can continue to share his love and passion for animals.

Shani joined the HAVC family in February 2025 and has been a blessing for the team. Her friendly and kind hearted nature shows through her interaction with clients and animals alike.

Shani gained experience working at the SPCA where she learnt animal behaviour and expressed her love for working with animals. She is currently nursing a beautiful rescue cat back to health called Jack. He is already a part of the family Shani admitted and he has jumped into her heart.

Shani is very excited to journey with the Hennie Alberts team and seeing all of your fur babies.
