Donna

Donna moved to Ohio from Flagstaff, AZ in 2018. She has been in the veterinary field for over 18 years, on & off. She fosters for a local rescue group.

A very important initiative & passion to her is to educate others about the importance of spaying/neutering. Not only does the procedure benefit the pets and others, it also assists the communities. Animals that are homeless or not adopted are either euthanized, neglected or die from disease.

In 2023, 6-8 million dogs and cats were brought to shelters in the United States and 3-4 million of those were euthanized.

Donna's first love is her two daughters Cheyenne and Denver along with their many pets. The family pets include Tobin, Sedona, Ducati, Olive, Wally and their two cats, Lana & Martini. They bring unconditional love & laughter to Donna. Donna loves traveling abroad and kayaking which allows her to enjoy the water and wildlife. She also loves learning something new every day!

While not at work Angie likes to go on hikes, read a good book, watch movies along with enjoying all the many wonderful things this area has to offer.
