Christine:  Office manager

A native of North Olmsted and resident of North Ridgeville, Christine has been a life-long pet lover.  She has been in the veterinary field since 1997 and is familiar with every perspective within a veterinary practice, both in front of and behind the desk.  She adores her kitties "Koko" and, ahem, "Kitty", as well as her chocolate lab "Campbell."  Her husband Dennis and their two young children complete Christine's family and keep her busy!  As she likes to say, "What free time???"  




Stacy: Veterinary Assistant

Stacy grew up in Amherst and just recently bought a home in Avon Lake where she lives with her husband Rich.  They are the proud pet parents of two cats, "Lucky" and "Phoebe" and two Shelties, "Piper" and "Enzo".  Stacy and Rich have just started agility training with "Piper" and we are excited to see this little star on the rise!  Stacy has worked in the veterinary field since 1999 as a receptionist and assistant and is currently taking classes at LCCC to obtain a degree in business management. She has a strong interest in pet behavior and has a growing knowledge in effective positive-training techniques. She feels very strongly that the client and patient should leave happy, with no questions unanswered!  In her free time she enjoys visiting with friends, reading, and decorating her new home.

Mandy: Veterinary Assistant

Mandy grew up in North Ridgeville. In fact, she lived most of her life right down the very same street Happy Pet is located on! When it came time for college, she decided to take up pharmacy at The University of Toledo. However, after receiving a job at one of the local veterinary hospitals, she experienced a quick change of heart. Mandy is now back in North Ridgeville, taking steps toward a new career as she aspires to become a Veterinarian. When she’s not in school or doing "just about anything" at Happy Pet, you’ll most likely find her at one of the surrounding metro parks with her dog "Stella" in tow.

Kelly:  Registered Veterinary Technician

Kelly is also a native of North Ridgeville.  She recently graduated from the Ohio State University with a degree in Animal Sciences and, simultaneously, from Columbus State Community College with a degree in Veterinary Technology.  How's that for dedication and hard work?  While she has experience with everything from research to large animals, her true passion is nutrition for cats and dogs.  She is always eager to help each family find the right diet for their pet and is currently working on expanding her knowledge of nutritional supplements.  She has two pugs at home named "Alice" and "Honey", as well as "one of the most handsome cats in the world" (her words!) named "Frito".

Andi:  Veterinary Assistant

A native of Grafton, Andi has always felt a deep love for animals and a connection to their people.   She has found her niche in the veterinary field and after ten years in the profession, Andi is an experienced and skilled assistant.... and she loves it!  She and her husband John have their own house-full with "Marley", her senior Border Collie cross, "Missy", a Sheltie, and "Hairy", the Pembroke Corgi.  They recently added two cats, "Callie" and "Keeper", to the mix and have found that pet bliss sometimes purrs rather than wags.  She has two grown daughters and a new grandson and enjoys spending the rare moments of quiet in her pool!
