Why did you choose this profession? My love for animals and my
background
in business lead me to my current role. I was born in York, PA and
raised around many different types of animals. While obtaining my
Health Service Administration/Business Degree from Slippery Rock
University, I worked at an Arabian Horse Farm owned and operated by a
veterinarian. Once I received my degree, I worked as a business manager
for several years in the long term health care industry. Six years ago
I followed my passion and love for animals and became the business
manager for Patton Veterinary Hospital.
Hobbies - Hiking, biking, reading, gardening, and anything outdoors
with my pets.

Why did you choose this profession? Fostering kittens / cats for over
15
years lead me to working in an animal shelter where I fostered canines
/ felines. This included working with several rescue groups that
included a boxer rescue and an all breeds rescue. I've always wanted to
work for a veterinarian, and after relocating, I found myself at The
Patton Veterinary Hospital as their Behavior Coordinator. This was the
best move I ever made!
Hobbies - Photography, collecting enamelware and spending time with my
critters

Shawn Downs
Adopted -
February 2007
Number of pets - 2 cats, Bosley and Quentin
Why did you choose this profession? I became an instant animal lover
when I
rescued 'Bosley' on a cold autumn night. He was only 4 months old,
cold, hungry, scared to death, and needed vet care right away. As I
took care of him and helped him grow into the healthy 13lb boy that he
is today, he taught me about the special friendship that only exists
between an animal and their adopted human. Bosley puts a smile on my
face everyday and he's my inspiration for wanting to help all the
animals I can.

animals from cattle and rabbits to cats and dogs. Now into my adult
life, my focus is mainly on cats and dogs. I also had the opportunity
to work with horses once and found it very rewarding. Over the years I
have found being a Veterinary Technician / Nurse to be a very
fulfilling experience.

Venus
Adopted - June 2002
SHhhh! Don't tell her that she only has three legs, she doesn't notice!
She can pounce and play like any other kitty.And since every hospital
should have a three legged cat, (and because she's so adorable), we
welcomed her with open arms and open hearts. Venus loves any toy she
can get her paws on and is destined to be a lap warmer.
Midnight
Adopted - July 2000
He is our senior member here at PVH. Midnight was a rescue case.
Although he is a bit more 'lazy' than our other frisky felines. Middy's
likes include sitting on the window, watching birds and treats, while
his dislikes include getting brushed and getting his ears cleaned.
Middy is always available for a therapeutic cuddle.
Tinkerbell
Adopted - December
2000
Tinkerbell came to us as a stray. And with one look into her
mischievous face, we knew she had found a new home with us. And she
knew it too! It took no time at all for Tink to step up to the role of
trouble-maker here at the hospital. If something is missing, just look
her way. Tink likes to relax in any little nook or cranny, including
cabinets, sinks and especially her basket!
