Practice Manager

Jennifer

Practice Manager

Jennifer joined our Skadron team in February 2022 as the Practice Manager! She loves working with our amazing and supportive group of doctors, technicians, receptionists, and kennel staff! While she has only been with us for a couple of months, the team at Skadron has already become another family to her.

Jennifer received her Animal Science degree from the University of Minnesota and has worked in animal care/management for 15 years! While she loves dogs, her favorite animal is a dolphin! During college, she got the opportunity to intern at SeaWorld Orlando and worked closely with dolphins, which was a dream come true! Jennifer lives here in MN with her husband, their two boys, their fur babies Hendrix (a playful Springer Spaniel) and Hotdog (guinea pig), and a few guppies they acquired from her son’s school project.

Assistants

Lexi

Assistants

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

Assistants

Emilee has been a part of the clinic her whole life! Her parents are the Skadron doctors and her grandfather, Stanley Skadron, was the founder of the clinic. 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.

Kennel Staff

Joe

Kennel Assistants

Joe was born and raised in Saint Paul, MN and is currently enrolled at Dakota County Technical College for his Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. Joe has a cat named Austin who was given to him by his mother at a young age and another cat named Stitch who he adopted from Skadron. Some of Joe’s favorite pastimes outside of work are collecting old school music vinyls and playing basketball with friends.

Cool Cats

Bob
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
Ellsworth
Ellsworth is one of our house cats who can be found on top of the cat tree or near the closest food bowl. He enjoys lots of attention from clients. and loves catnip. If he isn’t on the cat tree he is probably curled up in the basket taking a cat nap!
Penelope
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.

Raja
Raja
Raja is a frequent greeter to those entering the animal hospital. Her favorite pastime is bird watching.
Twix
Twix
Twix is our special house cat who requires the daily help of the team to express her bladder. Unfortunately, when she was brought to us as a kitten, she was attacked by a dog which left her with the inability to urinate by herself. Twix is very wary of people so she likes to hide in the back of the clinic, but when you take the time to get to know her and earn her trust, she can be extremely sweet and lovey-dovey!
