Donelle

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Certified in Behavior and Exercise Therapy
I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and Certified Canine Fitness Trainer with a growing focus in canine physical rehabilitation, currently working toward my official certification in that specialty. With a strong foundation in animal health and wellness, I’m passionate about helping dogs live active, pain-free lives through a combination of preventative care, fitness, and rehabilitation practices.

Originally from California, I’ve also lived in Arizona and now call Michigan home. I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially paddleboarding with my family. My love for dogs extends beyond the clinic—I have a deep passion for dog training and have had the rewarding experience of training my Belgian Malinois in French Ring Sport, a discipline that challenges both handler and dog in obedience, agility, and protection work.

Whether in the clinic, on the field, or out on the water, my work and hobbies are rooted in the belief that a well-balanced, active life is key to the wellbeing of both dogs and their humans.

Alisha

Licensed Veterinary Technician

I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2011 with a special interest in anesthesia and analgesia, dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care to every patient. With a strong foundation in veterinary medicine and a keen focus on patient comfort and safety, I find fulfillment in supporting animals through their most vulnerable moments.

Outside of work, I spend my free time with my kids and our energetic Belgian Malinois puppy, embracing the chaos and joy they bring. I love being outdoors—whether it’s hiking, kayaking, exploring nature, or just enjoying the fresh air. When I’m not moving, you’ll often find me reading, always eager to learn something new or unwind with a good story.
