Richard was born and has lived in Georgia his entire life. His two passions have always been sports and animals. Richard attended two years (2008-10) at Valdosta State University to pursue a degree in biology and plans to continue working toward that degree in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a veterinarian. Michael says his love and compassion for animals began with his family’s first dog, Michael.
Why he does this: “I want to care for animals to the very best of my ability and I feel there is no better place to do that than The Village Vets. I vow that all animals and owners will be treated with respect and give first class service”.
