Chicago – The rumors of a series stoppage were just rumors, as Dr. Michelle Oakley is in the midst of production on Season Seven of her popular “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet,” which airs on the Nat Geo Wild Channel. Soon the continuing story of an animal enthusiast turned Canadian Yukon veterinarian will have new adventures.
Michelle Oakley grew up in Munster, Indiana (of all places), and loved animals at an early age, which crystalized when she worked on her uncle’s dairy farm. She focused her interests during her undergrad years at the University of Michigan while studying zoology, and first visited the Yukon through a program at Um. After college, she married her husband Shane and pursued her doctorate in veterinary medicine.
