 brandie

Adopted  - December 2002
Favorite animal - No favorites, I love them all!!!
Number of pets - 5 (4 cats and 2 dogs) All of my pets have been strays brought into the
 hospital or adopted from the SPCA.
Why did you choose this profession? I have always loved animals. I choose this career because
   I love to help animals and everyday is something new. This career is never boring and you are
   always learning! I started as a kennel attendant in 1985 when I was 15 years old. I was trained
   by a certified technician who taught me everything I know. Now 20 years later, I work as a nurse.
   I have completed some courses on line, but most of my experience is on the job training. In my
   free time I enjoy spending time with my 3 girls and
   supporting my husband at the local race tracks.   
  Hobbies - Pets, family and racing.

Rebecca



Adopted  - August 2007
Number of pets - 7 cats 2 dogs and 2 horses
Why did you choose this profession? I originally got my degree in Equine Science but realized that
  there weren't a lot of opportunities with horses. I started working with small animals here a while
  ago and left for a brief time to work with horses again. I couldn't stay away from the dogs and
  cats and that brought me back here to PVH.
