Nice to meet you
We put the patients first!
Ed
Practice Administrator
Ed’s childhood dog, Murphy, made a permanent impression on him. He often felt that Murphy was the only one he could talk to, and he never took that for granted. Ed has always known that a career spent giving back to animals would suit him well! Now, he’s proud to serve as the Practice Administrator here at Animal Care Center.
April
Licensed Veterinary Technician
When April was growing up, her family had several pets. Looking back, however, she doesn’t really recall ever bringing them to the vet. Back then, animals were treated just like that: animals. Now, as an adult and someone who works in the veterinary field, she finally understands the beauty of the human animal bond, and how these precious souls aren’t just pets – they’re family. Being able to care for them on a daily basis brings April tremendous joy.
Cecelia
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Although she had enjoyed the company of animals since she was a little girl, Cecelia never considered working in veterinary medicine until she needed a job to support her young daughter. She thought that working in a vet’s office would be fun, so she signed up. Little did she know that it would ignite a life-long adoration for animal care and turn into a passionate and rewarding career!
Shelby
Veterinary Technician in Training
As a young girl growing up in a very small town, Shelby’s animals were always most important to her. At the age of seven, she started her own goat herd alongside her mother. When a baby goat she helped birth was born with a cleft palate, Shelby dedicated herself to researching and discovering ways to make life easier for the little one. It was this sweet goat, aptly named “Funny Face,” that ultimately inspired Shelby to spend her life caring for animals and finding innovative ways to solve their problems.
Alyssa
Veterinary Assistant
The first time Alyssa pulled a lamb and helped it suckle, she knew she wanted to work in the veterinary field. Her interest in medicine, coupled with her deep-rooted desire to help animals made a career as a veterinary assistant the most logical path for her to follow. The rest, as they say, is history!
Cayleigh
Veterinary Assistant
Cayleigh has owned pets ever since she can remember. Animal care has always been a part of life—why not help as many pets as possible, she thought, by working in the veterinary profession? Now Cayleigh is proud to do just that as a part of the Veterinary Assistant team here at Animal Care Center!
Haley
Veterinary Assistant
Haley used to have a Pit Bull named Bubba. He quickly became her best friend, and it was those experiences with her beloved dog that left her with no doubt: Haley wanted to do everything in her power to help all of the animals that she possibly could. That’s why she decided to join the world of veterinary medicine!
Valene
Assistant Technician
While Valene has always loved animals, it wasn’t until she was working in home health care for humans that she was inspired to make a career out of it. One of her patients, whom Valene became incredibly close with, recognized the desire to work with pets and encouraged Valene to pursue her dreams. After that patient passed, Valene decided to honor her by applying for a job at a nearby vet clinic. After two weeks of persistence, she was hired as a kennel assistant, and the rest is history!
James
Kennel Care Technician
Growing up on a farm in Western Pennsylvania, James found himself constantly surrounded by animals, from cattle and horses to pigs and other creatures of the wild. This experience, along with being active in 4H and FFA, fostered his deep respect for animals. It wasn’t until much later in life, however, that James would find himself working with them on a professional basis.
Chelsea
Client Care Specialist
As a Client Care Specialist, Chelsea loves to be the smiling face in the front office that greets all clients and patients. She cares deeply for the health and well-being of all and feels very compassionately when it comes to animals… she’s often a real “softy” as she refers to animals as family members that speak a different language. She enjoys being able to meet new people and furry friends.
Veronica
Client Care Specialist
When Veronica lost her childhood German Shepherd, Ramona, it made a permanent impression. She knew right away that she wanted to enter the world of animal care and help as many pets as she possibly could. Her dream never wavered. Veronica is proud to help pets and animal parents as a part of Animal Care Center’s Client Care Specialist team!
Meowser
Clinic Ambassador Cat
Meowser has always been a browser. His favorite pastime is eating. He is a big fan of chips, but if it’s a healthy snack, it’s a no-go.
