Employee Pet Spotlight 🌟

Meet Affogato, also known as “Gato”, belonging to Dr. Melissa Kight! This is how she describes him.

“He is our year and a half old Ragdoll mix. His favorite things are hanging with his brother Pinto, flopping on the rug, and chasing toys throughout the house. He’s notorious for demanding pets as soon as we wake up in the mornings. He’s a boy with allergies that has adjusted well to prescription food and visits to the dermatologist. Although very shy, even with his people, he is very sweet, affectionate, and talkative.”

Employee Pet Spotlight ✨

Moxxie, a 2yr old shihtzu belongs to our amazing VTIT, Ene! This is what Ene says about her.

“Meet Moxxie, a true ray of sunshine who spreads joy and love wherever she goes! Her favorite activities include playing with squeaky toys, indulging in treats, and romping around with her fellow canine friends. One of her quirkiest habits is her obsession with squeaky toys — she'll happily squeak away all day if you give her the chance! Moxxie has a huge circle of friends and gets along with everyone she meets.

As a Shih Tzu, Moxxie requires regular grooming, and I've taken it upon myself to style her fur, resulting in some fabulous hairstyles! You can often find her sporting a lovely pink hairdo around Valentine's Day.

But don't let her sweetness fool you—Moxxie can be quite the little troublemaker! She has mastered the art of opening the air fryer to scavenge for crumbs, showcasing her cleverness (and love for food), but we love her anyways. Moxxie is not only my furry companion, but my best friend, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be her owner!!”
