Alexis
Alexis has always had a passion for animals since she was a kid, but when she was 14 her dog, Maya, was attacked and it hit home. Maya lost her ear and some movement in her tongue. She was the reason Alexis is where she is today. Every day when she comes into work,she is reminded of her Maya. “I wouldn't trade this job for anything in the world.”
During her down time, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, their 2-year-old son and their 2 dogs, Dozer and Stella. They love to go outside and play or go to the park. When they are not out enjoying the sunshine, the family loves to relax and watch Disney movies or play with trucks.

Gabriella
Since I was a little girl I have always taken care of animals. My dream has always been to take care of animals in any way I can. When I started as a kennel tech a little over 2 1/2 years ago I knew I couldn't see myself doing anything else other than working with animals. "I am all about the animals!" Seeing them happy makes me happy and no matter how hard it gets I will always choose to work with them for the rest of my life. My dream since a little girl is to finish college as a Veterinarian. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and my fur babies. I love taking my dogs to the beaches and parks.
