"Animal Health Care Center this is Lyndsey How may I help you!" That’s probably the first words you all have heard me speak. I am the newest receptionist to the Vet clinic and am proud to be a part of the team. I have been around animals and loved them all my life. Growing up on my dad’s farm we had horses, cows, dogs, cats, and even emus. I have helped to deliver baby horses and baby calves, it was a great experience.  I hold a very special place in my heart for animals. When I was young I always wanted to be a veterinarian. I may not be doing surgeries but I am working with animals and I love it. I am also a mother of two boys Devon and Wyatt they are my world and share my love of animals as well we have a cat named Harley Davidson and a cat named Linus.Theyare very loved and a great part of our family!

My Great Grandfather Doc Johnson was the only vet this town had for many years so I guess I was destined to be here, and I am thankful for the opportunity I’ve had to meet all of you and look forward to helping you and your pets with all they need.
