On Working with Strays and the Community

"Unfortunately, not every pet has someone to care for it.  I share my veterinary skills with the community so that I can make a difference in improving the health care of stray animals so that it gives them a better chance of finding homes."

Volunteer, Oregon Humane Society
Volunteer, Feral Cat Coalition

Supporting the Human Animal Bond Through Client Education

"Client education is paramount to any pet's longevity.  By thoroughly explaining preventive procedures as well as specific disease processes, I provide a better understanding of the importance of follow-up appointments and medication schedules."

The Loves of My Life

"I share my home with Scarlet (a dog adopted in the Caribbean), Louis (found orphaned after Hurricane George) and Zebe (my geriatric cat)."
