When Andrew’s childhood pet had an encounter with a passing vehicle, an after-hours veterinary clinic administered lifesaving medical care. He knew that he wanted to do the same for others’ pets!

Andrew is a Georgia native and first started in the veterinary world when he was a freshman in college. He began as a Kennel Technician and worked his way up from there. Now, he’s proud to serve the area’s pets as a Veterinary Technician! Andrew especially enjoys orthopedic work and studying laboratory samples.

Andrew’s interests outside of work include sports like baseball and football, hiking, fishing, hunting, and enjoying the company of his own pets. He has two dogs: Waylon, a Labrador mix, and a Spaniel named Amelia.

Tessa grew up on a Las Vegas ranch and started helping large-animal veterinarians during her teenage years. Those early experiences caring for animals made one thing clear: Tessa wanted to devote herself to bettering the lives of the earth’s creatures in whatever way she could! That’s why she became a veterinary professional.

Tessa began working at a Las Vegas animal hospital while earning her Veterinary Assistant’s degree. After moving to Dawsonville, she signed on here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital in 2013 before returning to Las Vegas for a time to earn her Associate’s degree in veterinary technology—Tessa worked in general practice during the day and in an emergency care facility at night during her studies.

After moving back to Georgia in 2017, Tessa was happy to join the All Animals Veterinary Hospital family once again the following year. Now, she’s the clinic’s Head Registered Veterinary Technician! She’s particularly fond of dental work and loves to see the night-and-day difference a good teeth cleaning can make. Tessa also likes orthopedic surgery and diagnostic work, but her favorite part of her job is getting to meet new pet owners and their adorable companions.

Tessa’s interests away from the office include hunting and fishing, riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers—she raced for 10 years and even competed in the Women’s Pro Class mini grand-prix in Las Vegas!—and spending time with her family at home. She’s the proud mother to two wonderful daughters, and the family shares their lives with two dogs named Roper and Gunner as well as a flock of eight chickens.

Tiffany is a pet owner herself, and her family always kept animal companions around the house while she was growing up. For her, caring for animals is simply in her nature. Why not turn that into a fulfilling and exciting career, Tiffany thought, by becoming a veterinary professional?

Tiffany is originally from Stone Mountain, Georgia and launched her career at a local animal hospital there. She would continue to help pets and their owners at that clinic for 14 wonderful years! She moved to Cumming in August of 2011, and started as a member of the All Animals Veterinary Hospital team in March of the following year. Tiffany serves as a Veterinary Technician, and she has a special interest in communicating directly with clients and getting to know the area’s pet-owning families. She also has a soft spot for our feline companions, and is particularly adept at helping nervous or angry kitties to feel more comfortable.

Outside of work, Tiffany likes reading and spending quality time with family. She and her husband, Brian, have two sons and several pets: a loveable cat named Samantha and a pair of dogs named Paco and Grace.

Kailee found herself obsessed with animals while growing up—she constantly took in wild critters, and she loved visiting the local aquarium and zoo. Seeing how the staff members at these facilities bonded with the creatures under their care made one thing clear to Kailee: she wanted to help animals herself, in whatever way she could! That’s why she decided to become a veterinary professional.

Kailee grew up in many locations domestic and abroad thanks to her father’s 18-year career in the military. Kailee’s veterinary career began during her junior year of college, when she applied for a position at one of the best vet practices in Knoxville, Tennessee—she was thrilled to accept a job offer a short time later. Kailee worked there until graduating with her Bachelor’s degree in business a few years later, then moved with her husband to Dawsonville in October of 2019. In March of the following year, she joined the team here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital and couldn’t be happier to serve the pets and animal parents of the area.

Around the clinic, Kailee’s favorite part of every shift is interacting one-on-one with clinic visitors, whether they have four legs or just two. She especially likes being able to give pet owners peace of mind as she and her fellow team members work to give each and every patient a happier, healthier life.

Away from work, Kailee likes staying active in her church, relaxing on the beach, and practicing her photography skills. She even runs a small photography business alongside her husband! Kailee is also fond of doting on her own pets at home. She and her husband share their lives with three cats: Scout, a sweet tabby; a young and spunky Calico named Penelope; and a tortoiseshell kitten who goes by Lucy.

Long before she was an employee here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital, Dee was a client. When the opportunity arose for her to join the team at the hospital she’d brought her own pets to for so many years, she jumped at the chance! Dee is now a proud member of the clinic’s front-desk team.

Originally from southern Louisiana, Dee moved to Dawsonville in 1996 and has lived in the area ever since. She worked in the human medical field for 18 fulfilling years before deciding it was time for a change of pace—that’s when Dee decided to do something she’d always been passionate about and explore the world of veterinary medicine. She joined the All Animals Veterinary Hospital family in October of 2020 and couldn’t be happier with her choice! Dee’s favorite part of every shift is getting to foster relationships with the area’s pet owners and their four-legged companions.

Away from work, Dee’s interests include staying active in her church, reading, visiting the beach, crafting, and spending quality time with her family. She and her husband of nearly 30 years have two wonderful children, Ariel and Ren, as well as several granddogs.

Anna Grace grew up around horses, and found herself following the local veterinarian around and asking questions at every opportunity. She’s been interested in the veterinary field ever since she was a little girl! Years later, when she brought her own dog here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital, Anna Grace knew it was the perfect place to help the area’s pets herself. Now, she’s a member of the clinic’s Veterinary Technician team.

Anna Grace is from Sunnyside, a small town south of Atlanta. She joined the All Animals Veterinary Hospital family in October of 2020 and hasn’t looked back since. She loves learning new things on an almost daily basis, and nothing beats helping pets to feel their best through the power of teamwork. For Anna Grace, the best reward is being able to make a difference in the life of a patient who can’t speak up for themselves.

Outside of work, Anna Grace enjoys traveling, specifically to national parks, and she’s also passionate about advocating for animal conservation. Recently, she was able to visit Yellowstone National Park to attend a conference about the reintroduction of wolves into the environment! At home, Anna Grace and her family share their lives with six dogs, seven cats, and a horse.

Haley has been around the world of veterinary medicine since she was about 14 years old. Her stepmother worked as a Veterinary Technician for more than 15 years, and Haley always knew she wanted to follow in her footsteps! Now, she’s a Technician herself. Haley is a proud member of the All Animals Veterinary Hospital family.

Haley is a Savannah native and first started helping animals when volunteering at a horse ranch in Gillsville. She joined the All Animals Veterinary Hospital team in late 2020 after relocating back to this area from eastern Atlanta. Haley loves to form relationships with the area’s pet owners, and she’s always learning something new. She especially likes the way her job constantly keeps her on her toes!

Away from work, Haley loves spending quality time with her friends and family. She has two dogs at home—Jace, a Labrador, as well as Molly the Pit Bull—as well as three loveable cats named Batman, Ethel Louise, and Ziggy.

Ever since dealing with her own dog’s health issues, Vanessa was hooked on veterinary medicine. She knew that she wanted to understand more about the ailments that plague our pets, and to help other pets live happier, healthier lives as a result. That’s why Vanessa decided to become a veterinary professional! She gets to help pets hands-on as a part of the Veterinary Technician team here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital.

Vanessa grew up in Newnan, Georgia and first launched her journey in veterinary medicine through an internship program at her high school. In late 2020, as a pre-veterinary student at the University of North Georgia, she was approached about working at a clinic in the area. That’s how Vanessa signed on here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital, and the rest is history.

Around the hospital, Vanessa likes keeping things clean and organized, and she’s also fond of soaking up all the knowledge she can from the clinic’s doctors and support staff. Getting to dote on adorable pets every day is just an added bonus!

Vanessa’s interests away from work include traveling—she even spent several months abroad in Europe!—and doting on her own pets at home. She has a rescued dog named Kaia, as well as a kitten, Stormi, that Vanessa rescued at only two weeks of age.

For Matt, veterinary medicine runs in the family—his father is Dr. Edward Holton, and his twin brother James works alongside him here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital. Matt knew early on that he wanted to do the same thing as his father and help animals to live happier, healthier lives! He couldn’t be happier to gain hands-on experience in the veterinary field here at the hospital while applying to veterinary school.

Matt is a Dawsonville native and a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in animal and dairy science. He plans on continuing his education at veterinary school in the future! For now, Matt serves in all areas of the hospital and enjoys the great variety that every day brings—on any given day, he might help to birth a litter of puppies or treat an infection in a dairy cow, and that fast-paced environment keeps him on his toes.

In his free time, Matt likes spoiling his own dogs at home. He shares his life with two Australian Shepherds named Taylor and Chloe.

James has quite literally grown up right here at All Animals Veterinary Hospital—he was six months old when his father, Dr. Edward Holton, opened the clinic doors for business. It wasn’t difficult for James to gain an innate passion for the world of animal medicine, and he’s decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine himself!

James grew up in Dawsonville, where he frequently went on house calls with his dad and raised and showed cattle. Those experiences only deepened his desire to help as many animals as he possibly could. He attended the University of Georgia and graduated with a degree in animal science, and is now a veterinary student at the University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. James looks forward to graduating with his Doctorate in the next few years and launching his own career as a licensed veterinarian!

When time permits between his busy school schedule and his time here at the hospital, James enjoys cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs and spending time with his own dogs, Chloe and Taylor, at home.
