Kristy Strickler began her animal career in 2004 as a veterinarian technician at the Arizona Humane Society's Second Chance Animal Hospital. While working for Humane Society, she fostered animals that were sick, injured, and too young to be put up for adoption. After two years in the hospital, she transferred to the Humane Society's Public Clinics in order to work more personally with clients and their pets on the prevention and educational side of veterinary medicine.
Kristy has had a variety of animals including horses, cattle, pigs, dogs, cats, ferrets, and guinea pigs. When the opportunity came to work at PAWS and expand on client and pet preventative medicine and education, she could not wait to start [citation].
