Theresa Aughtry, Manager
Born in the border city of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Theresa moved to Texas 22 years ago, where she and her husband raised 3 children. Theresa came to Animal Medical Center 3 years ago as our Office manager and is working hard implementing new ideas and keeping us going smoothly.
Theresa is a big believer in the Fear Free movement, having two dogs of her own, both very eccentric, she understands the need to show love and affection giving pets the confidence they need to be unafraid and calm. Theresa is always so excited when she finds a new idea or product to bring in that backs the Fear Free concept we have here at AMC.
