Lexi

I am a Biology student at the University of St. Thomas and am working towards applying to Vet School! I have been around animals my whole life, but have a soft spot for giant breeds like Great Danes, Berners, and Wolfhounds. In my free time I like being outside, going to concerts, and working out. I have a Great Dane named Koda and a tuxedo cat named Kenai. I love coming to work everyday and learning something new.

Emilee graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology in May of 2020, and she is currently working towards veterinary school.
Emilee grew up with two German Shepherds so she holds a deep affection for the breed, but she loves ALL animals! She enjoys working with animals and witnessing the love their families have for them as well as how each pet fits perfectly into their families. It brightens her day to see how a nervous animal slowly starts to come out of their shell and show their hidden personality.

Cool Cats
In loving memory of Bob
Bob is another one of our overindulged practice cats. His favorite spots include his “consultant’s stool” (above) and the perch in the crook of the window overlooking the lawn. Bob, like Penelope, does not have to punch a clock. He’s always on duty.
Ellsworth
IN Loving MEMORY of Penelope
Penelope loves it here at Skadron Animal Hospital. And why not? Where else can you have the run of an office along with a pipeline to an unlimited assortment of treats? Look up “spoiled cat” in the dictionary and you will see this picture of Penelope.
