My name is Shayah LaCour, but most may know me as Shay. I attended the University of California Los Angeles, UCLA, and studied Sociology. Animals have always been an important part of my life, some may even hear me talk about my own dog, Lulu, when they stop by the clinic. So, working as a receptionist at the clinic is very rewarding to me. I am able to bring relief and comfort to the animals and their families as well.
