Lois
Lois is our part-time Client Care Specialist, who you will find at the front desk ready to calm you or put a smile on your face when you're worried about your furry companion.
"Home life is my happy spot! It contains the tail-waggin, fur-flying, hoof-tapping fun that is my life! Some would call it chaos - I call it family.
Working in veterinary medicine was the greatest accident that has ever happened to me! I went in to volunteer at a local shelter and took a job in their clinic."
When Lois gets free time that does not include cuddling with the Bigs, pig, The Beau or the Nakeds (Sphinx cats), she loves to cook and bake. Which is fine with us at MiVet!
