Lydia was born and raised locally and is a 2020 Molalla High graduate. Growing up Lydia always thought the cocker spaniel on Hope Animal hospital’s sign was her first dog Sonja, so it was destined for her to join our team. Since joining our team, her love for animals has grown significantly as has her number of pets. She has found a love for kittens and took on a litter of bottle babies last year, and only kept one, Phoebe. She hopes to have many additional pets in the future. She is currently attending CCC and aspires to become a surgical assistant in the human field [citation].
