This is Ariel, “like the little mermaid”. I was born and raised right here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am an Aries with a hard exterior and a soft interior. I am currently working on my associate's degree in medical science and hoping to expand my education further.

I’ve grown up around many different animals, everything from dogs and cats to spiders and hermit crabs to fish and rabbits to even alpacas. I love being a pet and plant parent, and when I am not slammed with homework, I enjoy spending my spare time with my family, long walks with my dogs, and running a small business on the side. 

My 4-year-old Shepsky is Sage, whom I rescued as a puppy from the El Paso County Canine Rescue. Growing up, I’ve always had purebred dogs like my two Pomeranians, but I have to vouch that Sage is the best fur baby I have ever had the pleasure to raise. And, oh yeah, my Thing #1 on the left is Honey (aka- Honey Bunny), and my Thing #2 on the right is Pumpkin (aka- Pumpkin Spice). 

Working in the Veterinary Industry so far, I do my best to make sure everyone else’s job goes smoothly. I recognize how hard everyone’s job is, how devoted and hardworking everyone is, and the last thing I want to do is step on toes or cause any bumps in the road for anyone. I am doing my best to conform to this industry so that I can become part of it for the long run. 

The most important part of my job, currently working as a receptionist, is to see the smiles on both the Client’s face and their pet’s face. Client or employee, we all walk into the same building for the same purpose- we care and love our animals endlessly, as does the person on our right and left.
