MILLY LESHAO

Customer Service Representative
I’ve been in the veterinary field for over 4 years and worked with small animals and exotics. My favorite animal in the exotic world would have to be the Capuchins! I love how friendly and loveable they can be!
I have a Labrador Retriever by the name of Brady (he’s named after the best football player in the world, Tom Brady). He’s the goofiest dog in the world and the sweetest. If I had to compare him to another animal, it would have to be the sweet dog from the movie, “UP”. (If you haven’t seen the movie, you should!) He looks just like him!!
I enjoy hiking and traveling in my spare time and hope to one day see the world!!

LAUREN READ

Hospital Administrator

I started my career in the veterinary field in 2012 working as a kennel tech. Over time I worked my way to become the lead technician and inventory manager at my previous hospital! I enjoy educating owners and providing the best care possible. I’m excited to be a part of the Loving Care team and to serve the community of Santa Fe. I enjoy supporting our Astros at every opportunity I can and enjoy traveling and getting to experience different people and cultures!

RALPH

Clinic Cat

My name is Ralph and I am the official door greeter for Loving Care Pet Hospital. I have been a team member since July 2014, when the Hospital Administrator found me causing trouble on the streets. She took me in, taught me manners, and gave me a job. Now that I am domesticated, I enjoy roaming the halls and visiting hospitalized patients, making sure the staff stays in line, and begging for a yummy treat. While I’ve mainly giving up the street life, I still enjoy the occasional cat-nip from time to time, but the manager says it’s unacceptable to do it during hospital hours.
