For over 35 years, Patricia has competed, mentored, and professionally coached in the tennis industry. About 15 years ago, she took a break to focus on raising her family. During that time, her love for animals and medicine led her to train and serve as a veterinary surgical technician. Today, she’s still a tennis coach, but uses her gifts and wide experience in veterinary medicine to support our Partner Homes as they raise their puppies. Patricia’s family has three furry members: a Tea Cup Poodle named ChiChi, a Labrador named Lilly, and a standard Labradoodle named Zoey that keeps her on her toes.
