"I find it very rewarding to work with and be a part of a family as I watch their animal grow from a puppy into an adult while helping to make them well again. Helping owners and pets and watching their bond is why I get up and go to work every day. Working for VCA has given me the opportunity to nurture those bonds and work with some amazing individuals on a daily basis."
