Prior to being accepted to veterinary school, Dr. Stresemann volunteered at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. With this experience she developed a sincere love for helping the homeless and adoptable pets of our community. After graduation she returned to Animal Control as a veterinarian where to this day she still spends some of her free time providing surgical, medical, and veterinary forensics expertise.

In 2021 Dr. Stresemann had the opportunity to transition to general practice where she has greatly enjoyed connecting with families and their pets. The experience of working with families and sharing the common goal of maintaining healthy pets has been very rewarding.

Starting Peaceful Passing is a calling that Dr. Stresemann has long been wanting to fulfill. It is with great joy that she has finally been able to make this vision a reality. The idea to bring her compassionate care into families’ homes to help their pets have a peaceful passing has been with her throughout all phases of her career. Dr. Stresemann has helped many families euthanize their beloved pets. During each encounter she has always strived for the pet’s passing to be truly peaceful. She strongly feels that the ultimate way to achieve a peaceful passing is in the pet and family’s home or other beloved setting.

Peaceful Passing has become a reality in large part due to the support of Dr. Stresemann’s husband, Adam. They met and started dating in high school and got married while Dr. Stresemann was in veterinary school. Adam has supported her throughout her entire veterinary career and he now supports her in his role as business partner of Peaceful Passing.

In her free time Dr. Stresemann enjoys spending time with Adam and their two children. She also finds great joy in being with her pets which include horses, dogs, and cats. She loves to exercise, spend time outdoors, read, and is an active member in her church.

Dr. Stresemann looks forward to providing this much needed service to this great community.
