Congratulations to Veterinary Assistant Michael! Today is his 4 year work anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier to have him on our team. He’s amazing with nervous pets, and his sense of humor keeps us on our toes. He’s pictured here with his dog Nikki. Nikki was abandoned and was very aggressive. Michael took her in and worked with her. She’s still not a fan of other dogs and many people, but she loves Michael and has a safe home. Way to go, Michael!
