Deanna

Deanna was born and raised in Kenora, ON and always had animals while growing up. She was always “rescuing” critters from the backyard! Dee started working professionally with animals when she got a job through co-op placement with the Humane Society which later became the SPCA Kenora Branch. She worked there for six years, usually during the summer when she’d return home from college.

Dee attended Northern College starting out in the Veterinary Assistant program, then went on to do the Technician program and finished off with the Veterinary Technology Wildlife Rehabilitation program. She graduated with honours in 2006 and moved to Ottawa to work at Beechwood Animal Hospital. She loves anesthesia & is an advocate for Fear Free vet visits. Her current companions included one cat, Boomer and two dogs, Willow and Wendel.
