Top 3 reasons our LVT's like working at ACC:

1. Our mission of helping homeless animals who otherwise would not have the care they need and deserve. We get to care for animals that have no one, and with our services we help get them someone.

2. Coworkers are more like family. It's a great environment to work in despite how busy it can get.

3. Interesting and multiplex cases that are rare to see anywhere else, and the array of different types of animals that walk through the door. We see cases and animals that you never wake up and think you're going to experience.
