Last week, Princess Petunia came in to see Dr. Runnels for her initial holistic exam and consultation. We think this Princess puts the “P” in phabulous, even at 12 years old! ✨

🐍✨ Veterinary Technician Week — Day 5! ✨🐍

As we wrap up Veterinary Technician Week, we have a few more amazing team members to recognize and thank: Allister, Bekah, and Elliot! 💚

🐾 Allister joined us in February and has been an incredible addition to the team. Always eager to help wherever he’s needed, he brings great energy and a special love for reptiles — especially snakes! 🐍

🐾 Bekah and Elliot both joined the Mariposa family in August — practically on the same day!
Bekah works with us on Mondays while also holding a full-time position at the zoo. Her calm, steady presence and flexibility make her such an important part of the team.
Elliot also has that calm, even-keeled demeanor, and he brings a wonderful sense of curiosity and dedication to every shift. His goal is to go to veterinary school, and we’re so glad to be part of his journey.

Please join us in celebrating these three fantastic, hard-working individuals — and in thanking all of our incredible patient care team for everything they do to keep our patients healthy and our practice thriving! 💚

🌿 Veterinary Technician Week — Day 5! 🌿

Yesterday we celebrated two of our Clinic Custodians, and today we’re excited to recognize two more — Emery and Laura! 💚

🐾 Emery will be celebrating his one-year anniversary with Mariposa next month! He’s an incredibly hard worker and a true multitasker — tackling everything from laundry and cleaning to stocking supplies and even the occasional drywall repair. His dedication and skill keep our clinic running smoothly every single day.

🐾 Laura is also celebrating one year with us! She helps out part time on weekends while also working as a professional massage therapist. We love her calm, steady presence and the care she puts into everything she does.

We’re so thankful for all the hard work, attention to detail, and heart that Emery and Laura bring to our team. Please join us in thanking them for their dedication and everything they do behind the scenes to keep Mariposa shining! 💚

🌿 Veterinary Technician Week — Day 4! 🌿

Today we’re giving a big shoutout to two of our amazing Clinic Custodians, Dawn and Jillian! 💚

🐾 Dawn has been part of the Mariposa family for years. Long before joining our team, she was a client who used to walk her dogs across the land that would one day become Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center! After retiring from nursing, she joined us part time to help keep our clinic running smoothly. From wrapping surgery packs to keeping up with laundry and tidying every corner, Dawn’s care and attention make a world of difference.

🐾 Jillian is one of our newest team members — and one of our youngest! She began shadowing us this past August while finishing high school, and by September she officially joined the team as a Clinic Custodian. She helps out on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and brings curiosity, enthusiasm, and a strong work ethic to everything she does.

We’re so grateful for all the hard work Dawn and Jillian do behind the scenes to help our patients, team, and clinic shine. ✨
