Teresa
I have been passionate about working with animals for as long as I can remember. After graduating high school in 2014, I pursued my dream by attending college for Veterinary Technology in 2015 and have been working in the field ever sense. Along with extensive experience, I’ve dedicated many hours to studying dog behaviorism, allowing me to better understand and care for our four-legged companions.
At home, I share my life with my dog Chessie, and three cats: Noraa, Cloie, and Peeta. I’m fortunate to bring Chessie – my best friend and soul dog to work with me every day. While I love animals, I have a special talent for working with cats and have often been called a “cat whisperer”. My passion is to promote spaying and neutering to help reduce the number of animals in shelters. I strive to make a positive difference for as many pets as possible, ensuring they live healthier and happier lives.
