Shauna started her animal career in 2007 as a veterinary assistant. After receiving her certificate in veterinary assisting, she started working at a spay neuter clinic in 2009. After working there 6 ½ years, she wanted to try something new in a different environment. So, she found PAWS, and was excited to start working here. As a young girl, she had a strong desire for helping animals, and always brought home stray animals. Shauna had a variety of animals growing up including rats, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles and fish. Shauna loves working with animals, making sure they are taken care of, and focusing on their health [citation].
