Love of animals makes her career choice easy

Anna Kay Stackpole

Anna Kay Stackpole, kennel technician at the Pet Medical Center of Katy, loves her job and wants to spend her life helping animals. Her passion for animals is evident in her reason for pursuing this career path: “Since animals cannot verbally explain what is wrong with them (it is) a person’s job to execute the problem associated with that animal.”
