Amanda

Veterinary Technician

Hi there! My name is Amanda Green. I’m a Veterinary Technician and have been a part of the Care Veterinary family since March of 2022. My boyfriend and I moved to the Millington area in 2021 and are big fans! We currently have a Siberian Husky named Daisy who is 3-years-old and our newest addition a Chocolate Labrador Retriever who’s about 7-months-old named Fish. I’m originally from Richmond, a small town of the East side of Michigan. I come from a very big family which I love very much. My Nana always tells a story of when a was a little girl competing for “Little Miss Richmond”. When asked what I wanted to do as a grown-up, the answer has always been “working with animals”. I’ve been in the veterinary field for about 4 years now and I can’t think of anything more rewarding. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend, my family and my friends, traveling and learning different cultures, drawing/painting, and furthering my education.

I have 2 lovely fur babies of my own! One is an Australian shepherd named Luna and the other is a Springer named Lakota, and they are my whole world!
