Lanie joined the HVH team in 2025 and has been a valued technician from day one!
She has a unique way of connecting with and comforting our furry friends, ensuring they feel safe and loved during their visits. Lanie graduated from Crowder College obtaining her Veterinary Technology & Animal Science degree! During her time completing the Veterinary Technology Program, Lanie became CPR and Fear Free certified!
Here’s her ‘why’ for choosing Veterinary medicine as a career: “I chose Veterinary medicine to become an advocate for animals when needed as they present their symptoms differently than humans."

June is national adopt a shelter cat. Just a few of our wonderful local facilities to consider would be Watching Over Whiskers, Eden Animal Haven, and Humane Society of Southwest Missouri. We can't wait to meet your new furry family member! 😻🐾

As the temperatures rise, it’s important to know the signs of overheating in pets. Heat stroke can happen more quickly than you think, and action needs to be taken fast.🌡Learn what to watch out for and get more tips on keeping your pets safe this summer here: thrivepetcare.com/thrive-guide/protecting-you-pet-from-heat-risks

Emily has been a dedicated and reliable technician here at Hometown for 2 years!
Here’s her ‘why’ for choosing Veterinary medicine as a career: “Everyday is a new day, and you are given the choice to choose who you want to be and what you want to do. Everyday I choose Veterinary Medicine. Not because of my love for medicine, and not because of my love for animals, but because I have the opportunity to reunite pets to their loved ones in a better condition than when they arrived. I will forever cherish the moments of nursing them day after day, having the opportunity to help them heal, and watching their happiness and personality return. But by far, my favorite part of Veterinary Medicine is reuniting them with their owners. Nothing can replace the smile and tears of relief as owners embrace what they worried would be lost. Everyday I choose Veterinary Medicine for them. Is Vet Med rewarding? Not always. But is it worth it? Absolutely- and I would choose it again and again every lifetime."

We’re excited to see everyone at TAME Pet Mag - SW Missouri’s downtown dog days. We’ll be here from 10a-2p. Be sure to stop by and say hello! We have pupsicles! 🐕
