Jessica is originally from Buffalo NY, where she worked extensively with animals in shelter medicine as well as zoological facilities. She is currently enrolled in the Vet Tech certification program from Purdue University, and working towards honing her skills while here at the clinic. . Outside of SLAH, her interests include lacrosse and photography. She shares her home with two adventurous terriers who are equally enamored of hiking and exploring or snuggling on the couch.
Clark is from the Chicago area, and lives on the north side currently. Before coming to work with us at the clinic, he worked in shelters, primarily in animal husbandry and as intake and adoption specialist. He is the human companion to Ash the Labrador retriever mix, and Zuko the overly friendly domestic short hair cat. When he isn’t at work, he enjoys playing video games on his Nintendo Switch and hiking and mountain biking in the beautiful state parks around Chicago, or on the finding adventures on the lake front.
Janet is from the West Side of Chicago and still calls that area home. Before coming to work with us, she completed a program for her vet assistant certification. She was a volunteer at PAWS where she worked with the animals before they were adopted. She loves her furry family of cats- Yuki, Rocky, and Zero. When she isn’t at the clinic, you can find her practicing her Karate (she’s a blue belt!), playing video games, or learning the most exciting new K Pop dances.
Carissa originally from Michigan and grew up on a farm before moving to the booming metropolis of Chicago a few years ago. Carissa is our resident entomologist, and loves to explore new places and locales to find our insect friends in their natural habitat, on leaves and in nature. Carissa loves to be outdoors and enjoys hiking when she isn’t at work. Besides hiking, Carissa enjoys crafts, especially painting and embroidery. Carissa shares her home space with Bella the wonder dog and her parnter, Jacob.
Rhonda was born on the East Coast but grew up in the Chicagoland area. She has an extensive history working with pets in before coming to work with us, performing many different roles in shelter and small animal practice. When she isn’t at work, she enjoys playing Pokemon and adding new records to her burgeoning vinyl collection. Rhonda shares her South Side home with her amazing cat Binky.
Dani was born and raised on the South West side of Chicago and has a bachelor’s degree from UIC, in Human Development and Learning. Her love of animals is what brought her to South Loop Animal Hospital, and she hopes to one day combine her two passions and run her own practice in clinical psychology that incorporates pet therapy for adolescents and young adults. When she isn’t at SLAH, she can be found ogling over her 10 year old shih tzu and maltese mix, Chloe Bug, in the gym, or reading a book.
