Shelby loves seeing all the different critters that come into the hospital, especially when puppies and kittens arrive for some extra love and attention!
At home, Shelby's life is full of furry friends:
- Oddie T. is her charming yet goofy Golden Retriever, who lives up to his name as quite the "oddity" and is larger than your average golden.
- Angel is a Shepherd/Husky mix who takes her role as the "Fun Police" to the cats very seriously. She's a big cuddler who loves to sit on laps, regardless of her size, and enjoys singing with the local siren choir, especially in the early morning hours.
- Radar and Klinger are Shelby's two mischievous cats, adopted together. These "tiny criminals" share a love for mischief and food, and even have their own theme song for their constant naughtiness!
When she's not at work, Shelby enjoys making chainmail, reading, and playing games. Her go-to comfort snack? Cow Tales.
Here are some fun facts about Shelby you might not know: she reads about 80 books a year, her favorite monsters are Wendigos, and she was known as the "Goose Queen" in college for her ability to navigate Canadian Geese without incident! What always makes her day better is seeing the shenanigans her two tiny criminal cats are up to, even when they're being bad.
Shelby's favorite season is Fall! Growing up in New York State, she loved the vibrant leaf colors and the cool, crisp air. While the leaves aren't as impressive in Virginia, she cherishes the manageable dip in temperature. Plus, it's Halloween—spooky season!
