Animal Cancer Specialists in 2000. She enjoys sports, traveling and spending time with her family, which includes Paul, Justin and Evan, their cat, Panther, and their dogs, Stella and Yuri.
Raynel and "Sparky"
Raynel has enjoyed the companionship of animals since an early age. After a 14-year career in printing, she decided to enter a field that she is truly passionate about, where she could empathize with people and help them care for their pets. She passed boards and became a Registered Veterinary Technician in 2009. In her spare time, she enjoys fishing and camping with her husband, Tim and their dogs "Sparky" and "Daisy". She has also enjoyed the company of a diverse menagerie of rescues including multiple cats, fish and birds. Her current brood consists of 3 cats: Poppy, from Boulder, MT, Oliver, and Phantom, and "Torti", the Russian tortoise.

She and her family enjoy fishing and sailing on their 22' Reinell.
Sara Bee (2 year MCT survivor) and Stephanie

Although she changed majors, she decided not to leave the veterinary field altogether and has spent the majority of her life working in various capacities, including equine surgery and emergency medicine. She began working with Dr. Meleo almost fifteen years ago and has a particular interest in radiation oncology. She enjoys gardening, crabbing, and during "fair weather", a bad round of golf.
