Meet Our Dedicated Team
MaKayla
Hello! My name is MaKayla. I’ll be the first excited hello you’ll get when you come to our clinic. Most of the time, I’m the one behind the camera. Taking pictures of our clinic babies has become one of my new favorite hobbies. When I’m not greeting you and your fur babies, I’m at home with my own wrestling team which includes my loving husband Mathew, and our four team members, Charlie B Barkin the mini dachshund mix, Oscar Meyer the mini dachshund, Hoss the Aussie, and our newest addition, Ada Shelby the beagle. For fun, we love attending our home church, spending time with our family, or playing games at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!
