Michelle
in Aspen, Colorado |
Michelle acquired her love for animals as a child living in Delta, Colorado. For as long as she remembers she has always enjoyed being near and caring for any creature with fur, fins, scales or feathers! Ironically Michelle was not allowed to have pets growing up, but luckily her grandparents had a farm with a complete animal menagerie. Her first "real" pet was Rosie, whom she received as a gift when she was 19 years old. Rosie was a beautiful gray tabby and dear friend who passed away August 2003. She will be missed forever. |
Michelle
has a deep respect and appreciation for all living, non-human creatures.
Serving animals is what makes her feel best! Michelle takes immense
pride and dignity in her daily work and strives for excellence every
day in the quality of care she delivers. Her commitment to creativity,
professionalism and integrity shine bright in all of her interactions
with clients, veterinarians and local business owners.
Michelle earned a Bachelor of
Science from Portland State University in 1996. She completed her
major study in the field of Psychology and took a variety of other
interesting coursework including Sociology, Writing and Philosophy.
She originally opened The Pet Stop in August of the same year in
Beaverton, OR and successfully operated it there until she moved to
Salem in January of 1999.
