🐾💛 THE HEART BEHIND THE HUSTLE, THE GLUE THAT HOLDS OUR ZOO TOGETHER! 💛🐾

As we wrap up our week of celebrating the wonderful people behind the paws, we’re saving a very special spotlight for someone who spends so much of her time making sure everyone else is taken care of.

👑 TAYLOR — Our Office Manager, Problem Solver, and the Heart of Our Team! 👑

Every clinic has that one person everyone turns to. The one who always seems to have an answer, a solution, a helping hand, or simply a listening ear.

For us, that’s Taylor. 💛

She’s the person who somehow manages to keep an entire clinic running while making sure the people inside it are taken care of, too. From juggling schedules and solving problems to stepping in wherever an extra set of hands is needed, she does so much more than most people ever realize.

And if managing a clinic wasn’t enough, she’s also a new mama with a whole farm full of animals to love! Between her little girl, horses, cows, cats, dogs, and all of us at the clinic, it’s a wonder she has any love left to give. But somehow, she always does. ❤️

Taylor has one of those hearts that makes room for everyone, even when her own plate is overflowing.

She’s a leader, a teacher, a friend, and someone so many of us have learned from. She doesn’t just help keep the clinic running. She helps the people around her grow, learn, and become better at what they do.

And while so much of what she does happens quietly behind the scenes, we hope she knows that none of it goes unnoticed.

Taylor, we see the long days, the extra effort, the little things you do without being asked, and the way you continually put others before yourself.

We see the heart you pour into this place.

And we hope you know that you are loved and appreciated, not just for everything you DO, but for the person you ARE.

A clinic can have all the equipment, medicine, and knowledge in the world, but it’s people like you who make it feel like a family.

Thank you for the lessons you’ve taught us, the patience you’ve shown us, the laughs we’ve shared, and the countless ways you’ve been there when we’ve needed you.

Our clinic is a better place because you’re part of it.

We hope you feel even a fraction of the love and appreciation today that you give to everyone else all year long. 💛

We love you, Taylor! 🐾❤️

🐾☎️ THE FIRST HELLO & THE LAST GOODBYE! ☎️🐾

It’s day FOUR of Vet Tech Week, and today we’re celebrating two wonderful ladies who help keep our front desk, and sometimes our sanity, together! 😂💛

🪄🐱 ABIGAIL — A Little Creativity, A Little Magic & a Whole Lot of Heart! 💕

Abigail brings her own special touch to our clinic family! Between helping clients, welcoming patients, and keeping up with the everyday hustle of the front desk, she’s an important part of what keeps our days running smoothly Outside of work, Abigail loves getting creative with crafts and enjoys all things Harry Potter! 🎨✨ Whether she’s bringing a new project to life or getting lost in the wizarding world, she’s always got a little creativity and magic in her corner!

And speaking of new adventures, Abigail recently welcomed a precious little boy into the world! 🍼💙 Between being a new mama, loving on her cats, and balancing life at the clinic, she’s got her hands and heart full! Working in veterinary reception takes patience, compassion, and the ability to juggle a hundred little things at once. It’s not always easy, and so much of what happens behind the desk goes unnoticed. Abigail, thank you for the kindness, hard work, and care you bring to our clinic. We appreciate everything you do for our clients, patients, and coworkers, and we’re so thankful you’re part of our team! You bring your own little bit of magic to our clinic family, and we’re lucky to have you! 💛🐾

🎀🏔️ SHEENA — 16 Years of Fabulous & Still Keeping Us in Line! 💕

SIXTEEN YEARS! That’s 16 years of ringing phones, scheduling appointments, helping clients, answering questions, and keeping up with the everyday craziness of veterinary medicine! After all these years, there’s not much Sheena hasn’t seen or heard at the front desk! She’s been part of so many chapters of our clinic’s story, and her years of dedication mean more than words can say.

And if you know Sheena, you know she always has the cutest accessories to go along with her outfits! 🎀✨ She’s got a love for all things health and wellness, and when she’s not keeping up with the clinic, she enjoys escaping to the mountains and spending quality time with her sisters. 🏔️💕 Sixteen years in veterinary medicine takes a whole lot of patience, dedication, and probably a pretty good sense of humor! 😂 Through busy days, changes, challenges, and countless furry faces, Sheena has remained a familiar part of our clinic family.
Sheena, thank you for the years you’ve given to our clinic, the countless clients and patients you’ve helped, and the many ways you’ve contributed to keeping everything running. Your dedication and experience are truly appreciated, and we’re so thankful for you!

🐾💛 Two wonderful ladies, countless ringing phones, and more multitasking than anyone should have to do before lunch! 😂

Our receptionists are so much more than the people behind the desk. They’re the first friendly faces our clients see, the reassuring voices on the other end of the phone, and an important part of what keeps our clinic moving every day.

Abigail and Sheena, thank you for all the hard work, patience, and heart you bring to our team. We couldn’t do it without you! 💛🐾

🐾🌟 NEW PAWS ON THE BLOCK! 🌟🐾

It’s day THREE of our staff appreciation celebration, and today we’re shining the spotlight on three of the newest additions to our clinic family!

They may be the newer faces around here, but they’re already bringing their own personalities, talents, and plenty of heart to our team! 💛

🐱🐴 JAIDA — From Whiskers to Hooves, She’s Got a Heart for Them All!

Jaida is one of the helping hands behind the scenes that keeps our clinic looking good and running smoothly! As one of our kennel technicians, she helps keep things clean, organized, and comfortable for our patients. It’s not always the most glamorous job, but it’s an important one, and we appreciate everything she does! Her love for animals doesn’t stop when she clocks out, either! Jaida recently opened her heart and home to a kitty who needed a place to call home. 🐱💕 And when she’s not loving on cats, you might find her spending time in the saddle riding horses! 🐴From tiny whiskers to big hooves, it’s safe to say Jaida has a heart for animals of all shapes and sizes!

Jaida, thank you for the hard work, kindness, and care you bring to our clinic! The behind-the-scenes work you do makes a bigger difference than you may realize. We’re so thankful to have you as part of our team! 💛

🎮🐾 MADDEN — Leveling Up in Vet Med, One Laugh at a Time!

Madden came to us with experience in animal care from working at a nonprofit humane society, along with a background in grooming! From making animals look their best to helping those in need, he’s already had quite the adventure in the animal world! One thing we’ve quickly learned about Madden is that he’s never afraid to jump right in! Whether there’s a patient needing an extra hand, a task that needs tackling, or a coworker who could use some help, he’s always eager to get involved. And if you’ve worked a shift with Madden, you know he comes with his own built-in entertainment! 😂 His clever jokes and quick wit have a way of keeping the staff laughing, even when the day gets a little crazy. When he’s not busy caring for animals or keeping us entertained, you might find him playing video games! 🎮 Apparently, he’s just as ready to take on a challenge with a controller as he is in the clinic!

Madden, thank you for bringing your willingness to learn, helping hands, and sense of humor to our team! Veterinary medicine can be stressful, and having someone who can work hard while making everyone smile is something special. We’re so glad you’re part of our crew! 💛

🐕🚑 KAYLA — From Shelter Paws to Clinic Claws!

Kayla may be one of the newest faces in our clinic, but she’s certainly no stranger to the world of animal care! Coming to us from shelter medicine, Kayla brings experience working with animals from all different backgrounds. Shelter medicine takes patience, compassion, adaptability, and a willingness to care for animals who may not have always had the easiest start in life. We’re excited for her to bring that experience into our clinic as she begins this new chapter in veterinary medicine! And when she’s not surrounded by animals at work, she’s got quite the crew waiting for her at home! With a Heeler and TWO German Shepherds, we’re pretty sure she’s already well-trained in handling energy, excitement, and a little bit of chaos! 😂🐾 While we’re still getting to know Kayla, we’re looking forward to learning more about her, sharing new experiences, and watching her become part of our clinic family.

Kayla, thank you for choosing to join our team! We’re excited to see the skills, knowledge, and personality you’ll bring to our clinic. Here’s to new beginnings, new friendships, and lots of paws along the way! 💛

🐾 Three different backgrounds, three unique personalities, and one growing clinic family!

Every role in veterinary medicine matters, from the hands providing patient care to the ones keeping everything clean, comfortable, and organized behind the scenes.

Jaida, Madden, and Kayla, we’re so happy to have you as part of our pack! Thank you for the work you do and the difference you make! 💛🐾

10/20/2026

🐾✨ TWO-SDAY: DOUBLE THE NAME, DOUBLE THE AMAZING! ✨🐾

It’s day TWO of Vet Tech Week, and today we’re celebrating TWO special ladies with almost the same name but their own unique personalities!

🌸🎹 Hailey — A Little Glam, a Lot of Heart & Always in the Middle of the Chaos! 💄🐾

Hailey may be one of the younger members of our crew, but don’t let her sweet personality fool you! She’s right there in the nitty-gritty with the rest of us, never afraid to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty! With her sweet personality and caring heart, Hailey has become like a little sister to our clinic family. She’s someone we’ve loved watching learn, grow, and find her place in this crazy world of veterinary medicine! 💕 And apparently, she just can’t get enough of our four-legged friends! When she’s not helping care for patients at the clinic, she’s also spending time caring for animals at a boarding facility. Talk about puppy love! 🐶❤️

Outside of work, Hailey has a love for all things makeup and beauty, enjoys playing the piano, and has a particularly big soft spot for cats! 🎹💄🐱 She’s a proud Maine C**n mama and recently opened her heart and home to a tiny bottle-fed kitten named Mowgli. 🍼💕 She may love a little glam, but she’s certainly not afraid of the less glamorous side of veterinary medicine! From makeup brushes to messy scrubs, she handles both worlds with a whole lot of heart!

📚🚑 Haley — Our Double-Duty Hero & Right-Hand Woman! 🐾💛

When it comes to experience, dedication, and knowing the ins and outs of our clinic, Haley has certainly earned her stripes! From the everyday hustle to the unexpected emergencies, she’s no stranger to rolling up her sleeves and jumping right in. And apparently, one veterinary job just isn’t enough for her! 😂 When she’s not caring for our patients, she’s also putting her skills to work in emergency veterinary medicine!

But Haley doesn’t just wear the technician hat. She’s also our manager’s trusty backup when she’s away, stepping up to help keep things running smoothly and making sure the clinic stays on track. When she’s not busy saving the day, you might find her with her nose in a good book! 📖 Between working in general practice, emergency medicine, and helping keep our clinic running, we’re not quite sure how she finds time to turn the pages! Haley, you’ve been part of so many chapters of our clinic’s story, and we couldn’t imagine the next one without you! 💛
You’re one of the main characters in our clinic family!📚🐾

Different personalities, unique talents, and twice the heart! These two bring their own special touch to our clinic, and we wouldn't be the same without either of them! 💕🐾

We’re TWICE as lucky to have you both! 💕🐾

10/19/2026

🐾 💛 BIG HEARTS & HEALING PAWS! 💛 🐾

We’re kicking off Vet Tech Week by celebrating two wonderful ladies who prove that caring for animals takes more than just knowledge and skill. It takes patience, compassion, and a whole lot of heart!

🐶 ❤ Marissa —Small Dogs, Big Heart & a Little Need for Speed! 🏍 🎮

Marissa may have a soft spot for Boston Terriers, but her big heart has plenty of room for all our four-legged friends! Coming from a Fear Free clinic, Marissa brings a special understanding of how important it is to make our patients feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She knows that sometimes a little extra patience, a gentle touch, and plenty of compassion can make all the difference. And her caring heart doesn’t stop with animals! Marissa has also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), helping children with special needs. Whether she’s working with little humans or furry patients, her compassion and patience shine through!

💕 When she’s not busy caring for our patients, you might find her leveling up in a video game 🎮, spending quality time with her husband and family, or learning to ride a motorcycle! 🏍 Apparently, the daily adventures of veterinary medicine weren’t quite enough excitement for her! 🤣 From mastering video games to learning life on two wheels, Marissa isn’t afraid of a new challenge. And we’re so glad she’s chosen to take on the wonderful chaos of vet med with us! Marissa, thank you for the big heart, gentle hands, and compassion you bring to our clinic. Your kindness makes a difference, not only to the animals in our care but to the people around you, too. We’re so thankful you’re part of our clinic family! 💛 🐾

🐈 💛 Jennifer — Our Crazy Cat Lady with a Heart of Gold!

If it has whiskers, four paws, and an attitude, chances are Jennifer already loves it! 🤣 🐱 Jennifer has been part of our clinic family since 2018, starting at our Mountain View location, and she’s been loving on patients ever since! From the sweetest little kittens to the spiciest cats who would rather be anywhere but the vet, Jennifer has a special place in her heart for them all. Hisses, growls, and flying paws don’t scare her away. Sometimes the ones with the biggest attitudes just need a little extra understanding and love!

🐾 While Jennifer now works part-time as she balances life as a mama, her dedication to veterinary medicine and the patients she loves has never been part-time. She has a way of making every patient feel like one of her own, because to her, they’re never just animals. They’re someone’s baby, best friend, and family member. Through the years, she’s shared in the excitement of new puppies and kittens, watched beloved patients grow older, celebrated their victories, and shed tears alongside families during their hardest goodbyes. Jennifer, thank you for the years of love, dedication, and compassion you’ve poured into our patients. Your love for animals shines through in everything you do, and our clinic is a better place because of it!

💛 🐾 Two amazing ladies, two incredibly big hearts, and countless paws that are better off because of them! Thank you both for everything you do to make our clinic such a special place! 🐾 💛

10/19/2026

🐾💛 HAPPY NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK! 💛🐾

Behind every happy tail, every comforting cuddle, every successful appointment, and every patient who needs a little extra love is a team of hardworking people who give so much of themselves to the animals in their care.

Veterinary medicine isn’t always puppy kisses and kitten cuddles. It’s long days, messy scrubs, difficult moments, teamwork, compassion, and a whole lot of heart.

This week, we’re celebrating not only our amazing veterinary technicians but also the wonderful team members who help keep our clinic running every single day!

Each day, we’ll be shining the spotlight on a few special members of our clinic family.

Because it takes a village to care for all those paws, claws, whiskers, and tails! 🐾

Follow along this week as we give our team some much-deserved love! 💛
