Sara S
Veterinary Receptionist

I grew up in Muscatine but moved to Davenport at the age of 21.  Cats have always been my favorite animals growing up as that was the only pet my parents would allow us to have, besides fish and the occasional hamster.  I would have a tendency to bring home every stray cat I found in the streets and hide them from my mom, but it never worked.  She would find out and had to tell me to quit bringing home stray cats because we couldn't afford to keep them all.

Hi, I'm Sara!  I grew up in Muscatine but moved to Davenport at the age of 21.  Cats have always been my favorite animals growing up as that was the only pet my parents would allow us to have, besides fish and the occasional hamster.  I would have a tendency to bring home every stray cat I found in the streets and hide them from my mom, but it never worked.  She would find out and had to tell me to quit bringing home stray cats because we couldn't afford to keep them all.

Up until about four years ago, my husband and I were never dog owners.  When we decided to take that step in our lives, of course we had to pick the most difficult and stubborn breed ever: a Siberian Husky.  We got Magnus (pictured with me) four years ago.  He has been a challenge, but we wouldn't change any of it for the world!

I've always told myself that if I ever won the lottery, I'd open up a shelter for all animals in need of a home.  I'm hoping someday it will happen.

I am currently going to college to become a veterinary technician.  I think what really got me into this career was when my cat had to be put down.  She was very special to me.  Her name was Zora, and I had received her from one of my customers that I saw on a regular basis at Subway.  Zora was a barn cat and was the runt of the litter.  She was very skittish but attached to me on day one.  She was my best friend, was always there when I cried, when I was sick, while watching TV., etc.

When she was around 11 years old, she ended up getting very sick.  She stopped eating, got super skinny, and couldn't walk anymore.  It was this very clinic that we brought her to, and she got the best care that I could ever ask for.  Since she was in too much pain, we decided it was best to put her down.  The amount of care the doctor had for us and Zora was remarkable.  She gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes and made sure Zora was as comfortable as possible.  After that day, I kept wondering that if I knew what was wrong with her, maybe I could have extended her life a little more.  That was when I decided to become a veterinary technician.

I'm so excited to be apart of this amazing team!
