Mary McDaniel, receptionist, the first person you will see when you come in, loves working with the furry population.  Mary has been at Brookside since 2005.

Thelma, has been our receptionist since we opened in 1999. The past few years she has been semi-retired, choosing to spend her days holding down the cat bed in the treatment area.

Cedar, doing what he does best. He has yet to meet a food bowl he doesn't like. He came to us as one of our rescue kittens, but he is so annoying no one would want him so I guess he's ours.
