This is our second employee, Kathryn S., who just started work at the sanctuary today. She joins our first hire, Beth, who came on board last September. Beth’s reaction to having a new colleague to help with the workload: "Awesome!"
Before coming to the sanctuary, Kathryn was working as a biological researcher in a joint U.S. Forest Service/University of Montana project. She was also working part-time as a veterinary technician. Kathryn holds a B.A. from Michigan State University and recently just earned a B.S. in Biology from the University of Montana.
In the photo with Kathryn are her dogs Walker (in the foreground) and Weezi. In the background is the newest addition to Kathryn’s family, a 6-month old Lab named Tex.
You may be able to see that Tex has a shoulder injury. Well, one night a few weeks ago a woman brought Tex to the emergency vet clinic where Kathryn was working. The dog had been hit by a car and was badly injured. Tex needed major surgery. His owner wasn’t able to afford it and was going to euthanize him instead. Kathryn couldn’t let that happen. She decided to pay for the surgery herself, nurse him back to health, and adopt him. Tex is on the mend and tonight Kathryn and I removed the staples from his incision site.
Now all three dogs can "go to the office" with Kathryn every day!
