Minnie has been working at Alamogordo Animal Hospital since 2017. She previously was a part of a search and rescue team with Weimaraners and even operated her own rescue group. While she has a soft spot for Weimaraners, she truly has a love for all four-legged friends.

In the clinic, she enjoys doing dental cleanings and has a goal to always learn more so she can be doing the best for her animals. Minnie also volunteers her time to the local shelters and rescues.
