Cristie Shively has also been a vital member of our team since attending Ferris State University 4 years ago. She worked for a veterinarian previously so we were anxious to add her expertise to our staff.

She comments on her work here, "It's really a good feeling to watch a sick animal get better and to know that we were able to help it. The hard part is we are not able to send all of them home well."

Her living arrangements keep her from having pets here, but she loves her horse, Cuti, back home.
