Blanca – Veterinary Assistant
Hi! My name is Blanca Taylor. A year ago I moved back to California after graduating in Veterinary Assisting from Carrington College in Portland, Or. Throughout my life I’ve had pet’s of all kind’s ranging snake’s, rat’s, cat’s, turtle’s and at present a charming and lovable Rottweiler named Kilo. In my free time I attend local art and music shows and have also enjoyed Roller Derby. I recently joined the Big Tujunga Veterinary Hospital, March of 2013. I’m so happy to have the pleasure of working with a staff that enjoys caring for our fur friends as much as I do!
Linda Adams – Customer Care Representative
I have been in the veterinary medical field as a receptionist and office manager for over 25 years. It has been my privilege to have known and assisted in the care of so many wonderful kittens, cats, puppies and dogs through their entire lives and formed bonds with their loving owners that treat them like the family members they are. My menagerie of three dogs, one cat, a cockatiel, two California desert tortoises and an aquarium full of fish share my home with me in La Crescenta. One day I hope to have a senior feline-canine day care where senior pets can enjoy special attention and receive the extra care they may require while their family members are away at work.
