Meet the Team Monday: Sarah, VT

Sarah joined our team in 2004 after moving from Wisconsin. She is a lover of large dogs, living with Splash, a flat coated retriever and Finale, an Irish Wolfhound. On the weekends she can surely be found at a doggy event such as Coursing or Agility. Sarah’s favorite part about her job is seeing the bonds between people and their pets grow.

This is Leela! She is looking for her forever home! Leela is a sweet, outgoing and active kitten. Her right eye was affected by a respiratory virus. She has limited vision and needs eye medication twice a day for another week. After that, her eye shouldn’t be a problem. She is vaccinated and will be spayed here when she is old enough. We are asking for a $100 adoption fee to cover the costs of her care. Please call the Manheim Pike office if you are interested in adding her to your family!
