🌟 Future Vet Loading... 🐾

We want to wish Natalie the best of luck as she embarks on her journey at Purdue University this fall! 🎓💫

Natalie has been a vital part of our team since she started interning at Four Paws in February 2023. She worked her way up to become a veterinary assistant in June 2024, and her dedication has been inspiring. During her time at the Spotsylvania Career and Technical Center, Natalie honed her skills in performing physical exams, grooming, and bathing dogs.

After graduating from Courtland High School in May, Natalie is now ready to take the next big step toward her dream of becoming an Emergency/Critical Care Veterinarian. We're so proud of her and know she's going to do amazing things at Purdue, studying Biology on the pre-vet path!

Best of luck, Natalie! Your future is bright, and we can't wait to see where this journey takes you. 🚀
