Laura's favorite part of working with animals is watching them "grow up", from their very first puppy or kitten visit all the way through adulthood. She especially cherishes building special bonds with both the pets and their owners.
Laura has what many might call a "small zoo" at home! Her beloved pets include:
- Two dogs: Abbey and Angus
- Three cats: Cricket, Hopper, and Masi
- Three tortoises: Gretchen and Greta (both Sulcata's) and George (a Russian tortoise)
When she's not at work, you can find Laura indulging her creative side with painting and cross-stitching, or simply relaxing with a good book. She also loves traveling and going on adventures with her husband and daughter.
Her go-to comfort food or favorite snack? Anything with peanut butter and Reese's!
A fun and surprising fact about Laura is that she's a "Norfolk Native"! She also has a deep appreciation for all things antique and frequently explores the many antique stores across Hampton Roads. What always makes her day better is hanging out on the hammock with her dogs.
Laura loves Fall, primarily for the vibrant color changes in the trees and the cooler temperatures. She also enjoys Spring, eagerly anticipating all the beautiful flower variations in her gardens.
