Hi, I’ve worked for Affordable Care Vet Clinic since 1996. I enjoy working with all the dogs and cats and their people who came to visit us. I am married with three grown children. We have 5 dogs, 3 rough collies: Savannah, who I compete in agility with, Firefly, and new baby London, 2 Maltese: Squeak and Hercules who sometimes do agility but prefer to sit in laps and watch TV. We also have three cats Chelsea, Nemo, and Willow (who rule the house). I also teach foundation and beginners agility at Keystone Canine Club. How lucky are we to be able to work with wonderful pets and clients and great doctors!
Started at Median School that turned into Vet Tech Institute and graduated in 2004. Rescued my cattle dog mix Ruthy from school. Have a very cute cat named Buddy.
I’ve been working at Affordable Care since 2012. Started caring for critters at a young age and never stopped, I have more cats than the average bear and an old lady pitbull named Brandi. I work with several rescue groups doing TNR and I foster kittens and medical cases. I hope to open a cat sanctuary/hospice in the future and always be a crazy cat lady.
I moved to Finleyville in 2014 to work at Affordable Care Veterinary Clinic. Previously, I lived in Louisville, KY and worked in the veterinary field for over 12 years. I am the proud owner of multiple Long-Haired Chihuahuas, an English Toy Spaniel, and a variety of other furry friends. Even though it can be difficult, senior rescue is a passion of mine. No matter how little time I may have with my seniors, I wouldn’t change it for the world. In my free time I participate in AKC canine agility competitions.
Hi, I currently live in the south hills with my husband, dog and two kitties. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, camping and crafting. I have always had a passion for animals and feel lucky to work alongside those who do as well. Next time you are in, adopt one of our wonderful kittens who are looking for their forever homes.
I have two beagles at home and recently added a yellow lab. I have been a vet tech since I graduated from Penn State in 2016 with a degree in veterinary and biomedical sciences. Originally from Valley Forge, I moved to Monongahela in 2017 and started working at ACVC soon after. In my spare time, I love to spend time outside hiking, camping, and fishing.
I have been a vet tech since 2010 when I graduated from the Vet Tech Institute. Early in 2015, I became certified in Veterinary Technology and a few months later, started working at ACVC. When I’m not working, I love to go off-roading with my boyfriend Mike in our Chevy Truggy. We live happily with our 9 very spoiled cat-kids, Zoe Bean, Chester Femur, Boo Bear, Mya Sako, Mama Matani, Penelope (said Peen-a-lope), Hendrix, and Cass.
Hi! I am a 2017 Vet Tech Institute graduate. I’ve been passionate about animals since I was very young and started rescuing cats ate age 11. I am a huge advocate for TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, release) and spaying and neutering. When I’m not at Affordable Care, I like to go to concerts, travel the world, and hike with my boyfriend, Andrew and my two dogs, Rhett and Fenrir. In addition to my pup, I have 3 cats- Legacy, Cori, and Persephone.
I began working at the clinic in January of 2018. I am currently attending California University of Pennsylvania for pre-veterinary medicine. I maintain working at the clinic even while I am attending school. I have known for as long as I can remember that I wanted to go to school for veterinary medicine, as I have always had an interest in helping others and a passion for animals. Working for ACVC has given me the opportunity for an innumerable amount of hands-on learning experiences that I am able to take with me on my path to my future in veterinary medicine.
I began working at the clinic in the summer of 2016. I graduated from Otterbein University with degrees in Biology and Zoo & Conservation Science in the spring of 2022. In the fall of 2022, I will be attending Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue my DVM! When I can, I hope to return and work on breaks! At home in the south hills, I have a beagle/aussie mix Daisy that loves to play and go for walks! ACVC has given me incredible experiences over the years and I have had the pleasure to work with great coworkers and pets alike! In my free time, I enjoy going for a run or playing the viola, bassoon or saxophone.
I’ve loved animals since I was little and always wanted to work with or around them. I have a cat named Oliver and a keeshound named Meeko.
I’ve been an animal person since birth. I’ve never met a critter I didn’t like and tend to understand them better than people. The saying ‘God gives you what you need, not what you want’ is true and I take it to heart. I’ve never turned an animal away. I always figured if God brings them to me, who am I to turn them away. It’s a gift and my purpose.
My hubby and I love being outside. We have our dog, Kya, a heeler mix, our indoor kitty Finley and our two young draft horses Cooper and Rylee. Outside of work and taking care of our animals, we enjoy fishing, hiking and camping.
Growing up, I have always been an animal lover. As a child, my dream was to be a veterinarian. At 14, I got my first animal-related job at a boarding kennel. I now have had the pleasure of gaining 12 years of animal experience. I also enjoy the outdoors, anything artistic, and most importantly, my family and friends.
Hi. I’m Amber. I’m from Bethel Park, PA. I went to Pitt Johnstown for a bit but always dreamed of a career working with and helping animals. I then went to the Vet Tech Institute and got my license soon after. I have always felt the need to work with animals for as long as I can remember. I have a cat named Riley and a niece/goddaughter named Rue, a yorkie. I am absolutely obsessed with them. I also enjoy spending time with my sister, family, and friends. Overall, I love to have fun and enjoy life.
I’ve loved animals for as long as I could remember. After graduating high school in 2016 I did TNR and rescue for people in need on social media. Within a year or two I joined Pet Friends Rescue as a volunteer and County Animal Response Team. I grew a love for animals the more I was involved and that lead me to ACVC in October 2021. Currently living in Westmoreland County with my boyfriend, our 2 dogs Waylon and Winston, and cat Dusty.
Fur mom to a black and tan coonhound, Amber loves permanent body art, baking, and being outdoors. She is also an avid horse owner since the age of 5. She is looking forward to meeting our client’s precious babies!
I began working at the clinic in the fall of 2020, while in my senior year of undergraduate college. I attended Pennsylvania State University and majored in veterinary and biomedical sciences and I am now attending Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine to work towards becoming a veterinarian. I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was very young, and I work at the clinic over my school breaks to gain important experience in the field of veterinary medicine. At home in Finleyville, I have a vizsla named Toby who I love very much. In my free time, I love to read, play video games, and go for hikes.
I have been working with animals since my first job in high school as a kennel assistant. At home I am a wife and mom of two crazy boys. We also have an english mastiff Rawling, a french bulldog Nova and a lizard Jeff. As a family we enjoy riding our side by side. I am very excited to join this excellent team and learn something new every day. I can’t wait to snuggle your fur babies!
Hi there! I’m Jess L. I guess I’m known as the Greyhound Gurl at ACVC! In addition to greyhounds I have an absolute weakness for special needs and those white faced seniors. Taking care of people and animals is what I’m meant to do. I enjoy doing transports to help dogs find their way to their forever homes. Though I have been know to “transport fail” a couple of times! I am also a licensed massage therapist helping people with their chronic conditions and volunteer to deliver meals on wheels to those in need as well. I am over the moon excited and feel so incredibly lucky to be a part of this team. Prior to coming aboard, my husband and I were clients for 10+ years. I appreciate all ACVC has done for our ever growing family of fur over the years. To be a part of such talented, compassionate and knowledgeable team is an honor and I couldnt’ be happier to be here. I am sure you’ll see me some time you’re in. I’m told I’m a walking rainbow so I am hard to miss!
I am from Washington, PA. I have loved animals of all varieties for my entire life. My parents always supported my love of animals, encouraging me to learn all I could about them from a young age. They allowed me to adopt all kinds of critters when I was growing up. I learned to care for our furry, feathered and scaly family members and also to respect and protect wildlife.
What’s up everyone, I’m Tyler. I am a new technician to ACVC. I am from Collier Township. Initially I went to community college after high school. Decided it was not for me. I went to Pittsburgh Career Institute and studied to be a vet tech. I plan on being certified once I gain enough experience. My love for animals started when I was very young. Most children watched cartoons. Not me. I watched Animal Planet. My mom says I talked with an Australian accent like Steve Irwin. I have a 10 year old Shiba Inu named Roxy. In my free time, I read, go fishing, watch hockey (tried to play, not very good, hangout and go to metal concerts. I listen to music any chance I get. Shout out to ACVC for being the best there is. I look forward to meeting everyone.
Hi, I’m Anj! I started working at the clinic in May 2022. Currently, I am attending Allegheny College and majoring in Biology and Psychology. During my semesters I work as a tour guide and a research assistant. At home, I have 2 rescue dogs named Mac and Jovie, 5 cats named Mason, Lucy, Ally, Lover and Finn, and a bearded dragon Pascal. I have wanted to pursue a career in veterinary medicine since I was very young and ACVC has given me an amazing opportunity to continue my path to my passion.
