Candace started at the New Georgia Animal Hospital in June, 2006 as a Kennel Technician while still in high school. She has worked her way up to Receptionist and Veterinary Technician and is a valuable member of our staff. Always with a smile on her face, Candace is known to all as the “staff jokester”. Her daughter, Aubrie, is the love of her life along with her husband, Matt, 2 cats, Shimi and Meko. Though Candace has a wonderful way with clients, her favorite part of her job is being able to interact with all of the wonderful pets our clients bring in. And much to her cats’ delight, her favorite hobby is fishing!

Adrienne joined us in January of 2010 working in the kennel and later as a Veterinary Assistant. She is married to Conor Higginbotham and has two children, Brandon and Bryce.

And when she finally heads home she is greeted by her own pets, Jade, a lab/chow mix and two cats, Taz and Tigress. Adrienne loves playing board games and spending time with her family.

Kimberly has served as one of our Receptionists since 2012 and specializes in learning as much as she can about our clients’ pets and their endless pet stories. This is her way of personalizing customer service and providing a comfortable experience for owners and their pets. Kimberly loves spending her leisure time with her husband and family, reading, cooking and watching movies. Her four cats, Tum-Tum, Zen, Sookie and Cheezy fill up the rest of her free time. Kimberly also has a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing.
