Lauren graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2018 and while she was excited to start a career in her chosen field, her heart was always in the animal welfare field. Lauren worked for an animal shelter for 8 years in multiple departments where she then met Dr. Player while working in high volume/high quality spay/neuter clinic. Lauren has fostered over 200 dogs throughout the years, including pregnant dogs, neonatal puppies and dogs with special needs medical conditions. Her passion for rescues shows as she currently has 4 rescues making up her family. Her management skills and immense compassion will make for the best leader we could ever ask for!
