Our Doctor
Lori - Receptionist / Boarding Manager
Support Staff
If the dogs could talk, they’d all ask for Lori by name. With over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, Lori brings unmatched passion, organization, and expertise to WagMore’s boarding and day play program. Her sixth-sense “dog whisperer” skills and keen understanding of animal body language help every pet feel safe, loved, and understood.
When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find her hiking a trail, chasing waterfalls, stargazing, or getting lost in a good book—with one of her five furry companions always close by.
Amber - Practice Manager
With two decades of vet tech superpowers, Amber is the go-to for everything from surgical assists to soothing anxious pets (and their humans). Her mix of compassion, know-how, and calm-in-the-chaos energy makes her a favorite among furry patients and their families alike.
Amber’s passion for animals extends beyond the clinic—she enjoys hiking, camping, and spending time in nature with her own beloved pets. Her goal is simple: to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.
Laura - Veterinary Technician
​
Laura has been a dedicated veterinary technician for over two decades, turning her lifelong love for animals into a rewarding career. After completing veterinary assistant school in 2005, she went on to earn her associate’s degree in veterinary science in 2007—and she’s been making tails wag ever since.
Her gentle nature, technical skills, and years of hands-on experience make her an invaluable part of any veterinary team.
When she's not caring for animals at work, Laura is all about family time. She loves spending her days with her kids and their furry companions—Huck the dog and Lion the cat.
