Five Things Laura Would Like You To Know About Her.

Laura is one of those rare creatures here in the Tidewater area – she has lived in this area for her entire life!
She has two kids who she adores.
Her personal at home zoo keeps her super busy. She used to be involved in local animal rescue but had to scale back her participation due to time constraints; however, she is always willing to help when she can.
For pure relaxation, she finds spending time at Bethany Beach, Delaware, is just the ticket.
Being with her family and animals is something she wishes she had more time to do!

The best gift she ever received she gave to herself – a house!

Sara

Five Things Sara Would Like You To Know About Her.

Graduate of Radford University with a degree in acting
Former employee of the VBSPCA – strong supporter of rescues/shelters
Her pup, Gertrude, is a very busy little lady. Has a tendency to get into mischief that requires an unscheduled visit to our clinic.
Knew she wanted to work in the vet field while working in the small animal department at PetSmart. Never had pets as a child and found herself totally smitten. Accepted a job at the VBSPCA in order to broaden her critter knowledge.
She is absolutely thrilled to be a Fear Free certified professional. She believes that it is so important to maintain an emotionally healthy atmosphere for our furry friends from the moment they leave their home to come see us. As pet owners, our number one concern is for our babies to be healthy and happy.
