Vicki Mullis
As a youngster, Vicki tried to save a nest of field mice that her uncle plowed up on his dairy farm.  From that point, animals have been an integral part of her life (even though her aunt put a quick halt to the field mice as pets idea).  She’s spent a lifetime picking up animals from the side of the road, saving overheated pets from hot cars, and re-homing wayward creatures that have found themselves on her doorstep. 

Vicki recently joined Oconee Regional Humane Society as they shared her love and compassion for God’s creatures, and through them, met the Park Place Animal Hospital family.  An advocate for black cats and big (and often misunderstood) dogs, Vicki finds the time to make every patient feel special.  We are so lucky to have her as part of our team!   

 
  Veronica Griffin
Veronica is a home-grown Georgia girl.  Raised in Madison, she has lived in the lake area since 2009.  As a veterinary assistant, she enjoys not only working with animals, but the ability to help improve their lives.  Her household is a busy one!  She quips, “With a husband, young daughter, two dogs and three cats, working at Park Place Animal Hospital is a vacation away from home!” 

Veterinary medicine is in her blood.  She worked for several other veterinarians before joining our team, and she hopes to continue her education and become a certified veterinary technician someday soon. Hired in July of 2012, Veronica is an excellent addition to the Park Place family. Be sure to make her welcome during your next visit!
