Carissa - Receptionist

Juanita - Receptionist

Juanita has always felt a special connection to animals. She has 2 dogs and 2 cats of her own who she loves immensely. Keiko (Juanita’s niece in the picture) is the newest addition to the family. Juanita’s favorite pastime when she’s not loving all over your fur babies that come in, is to cuddle and watch TV with all 4 of her fur babies. Cat naps for the win!

Tricia - Veterinary Assistant

Tricia is a lifelong Jacksonville native who’s in the process of moving to 9.3 acres in Bradford county and plans to sneak as many animals in as possible before her husband realizes.
