A New Orleans native, Ruth started working with us a week after Hurricane Katrina displaced her and her family. With her previous experience working at other veterinary clinics and shelters for the last few years, she’s become a valuable part of our team. Being such a good fit here, she and her husband, Mike, decided to make Shreveport home.

Now their family includes son Jimmy, and four mixed breed, rescued dogs named Samson, Tito, Pounce and Roxxie. They are allowed to live with a calico cat named Lily.

Ruth, Mike and Jimmy love to go camping in the mountains and take long walks with the dogs. Above all, her favorite activities include her son and husband. Any day with them is a good day indeed.
