Sometimes our graduates love veterinary medicine so much they choose to further their education in a different path within veterinary medicine. We are so proud of the newest DVM Jessica who will now always be an advocate for veterinary technicians! Seen here with the dog she adopted after he was her clicker training dog during her time with us

Last night our graduates gave each faculty member a small bag of goodies with hand written messages specifically for us. They even put stickers on the bag that were specifically for each faculty. I just wanted to thank them and let them know how much these small gestures mean to us and inspire us to keep doing our meaningful work!

Last November we hired a new Vet Tech named Carly. Carly just fit right in and didn’t skip a beat. She immediately became a member of the team and a member of the herd!

We are excited to announce that she has been so inspired by what we do here at Ladybug, that she has decided to move to Gainesville to go to school to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. She one day wants to have her own farm and follow in Ladybug’s footsteps. While we are sorry to see Carly go, we are honored to have played a roll in her aspirations to keep spreading the love and advocacy for farm animals.

Carly’s last day will be the beginning of June which means we need to fill some pretty big shoes for her replacement. If you are interested in a Vet Tech position here, please email [email protected]

We are looking for a long term and committed staff member. It takes months to train someone for the duties and care for our animals. If you are looking for a short term position, please do not apply. All inquires and communications will only be answered and responded to via email at the above address.
