Dr. Nina Owens grew up in a home with a mother who had one rule; "You can have as many animals as you like as long as you take care of them." After 20 years of working with people and their pets, she remains in awe of the incredible strength of the human-animal bond. Her interests include hiking, trying her hand at wildlife photography, and visiting her 2 grown children. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” - Jane Goodall.
