Amanda

My name is Amanda. I have always been a lover of all animals, and had dogs since I was a child. In 2014, I started working as a dog handler at a doggy daycare, and quickly realized that working with animals was where I belonged. It makes me so happy to meet and help care for the most beloved members of your family, and I absolutely love getting to see your new puppies and kittens grow!

Brandy

Hi! My name is Brandy and I started working at Great Lakes Animal Hospital in June of 2018. I live with my husband, our son, and our dog Gus. I've always had an immense love for animals. When I was a kid all I wanted was to play with animals and care for them. Through working here I've been given the opportunity to help care for your furry family members and I couldn't be more excited!

jenni

Hi! My name is Jenni. I am a receptionist here at GLAH and love getting to give your fur babies the best cuddles first thing as they arrive and right before they leave their appointment. My high school sweetheart, Kyler, and I live with our perfect Shepherd/Pittie mix, Dash, and his older brother, Leo, our sweet orange tabby. I have worked with animals in many different capacities from being a grooming assistant to retail, but I love how hands on and rewarding it is to be a part of a team that puts their heart and soul into helping your animals every day.

Heidi

Hi! My name is Heidi and I’m originally from Williamsburg, VA. I’m a military spouse of 21 years, a mother of three teens, and pet mom to 2 dogs, 3 cats, 16 Guinea pigs, 3 goats, 3 chickens, and 3 turkeys. I have an undergraduate degree in Government and Social Sciences, but recently decided to turn my lifelong love of animals, big and small, into my main focus! I’m so excited to share in the care and welfare of all of our animal patients as well as provide support to the families that love them.

Nathan

Hello, my name is Nathan. I have been working as an assistant at Great Lakes Animal Hospital since February of 2021. I live at home with my family and our little dog Piper. I decided to work at Great Lakes because of my love of animals and to help me learn as I go through veterinary technician school over the next couple of years. I enjoy learning about new things to help our pets every day. Some of my hobbies include playing the bass guitar and riding my bike.

Anyssa

Hi there! My name is Anyssa and I’m a receptionist here at GLAH. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I had a heart to work with animals. My favorite part of working here is being able to connect with all of our clients, and watch your puppies & kitties grow! I live at home with my family & our sweet dog Jake. My hobbies include reading, listening to music, and spending time with my family & friends!

Cleo

My name is Cleo and I reign supreme over my human servants. My Favorite foods are bananas, string cheese, and lunch meat (which I share with my people at lunchtime). I live here at the clinic and I have it all to myself over the weekend. I like to watch the birds and blowing leaves at the front doors, and sometimes I keep watch at reception when my staff is busy. I like to meet new dogs from safe distance, but I don't usually like to see other cats in my home, unless I get to tease them. 

I am shy about unfamiliar people in my back lair and I have difficulty recognizing even people I know when they are not in their scrubs. 

I am proud to say that I am a holy terror when it comes to my vaccines and blood draws, but I am an endless source of entertainment and even the occasional snuggle
