Though he was actually born in Bakersfield (father was working there after a stint in the air force) Dr. Evans considers himself to be the 5th generation, Santa Cruzan, as his mother’s side of the family was heavily involved in the agriculture in the Santa Cruz area.  He spent a great deal of his childhood in cowboy horsemanship, especially team roping, and won team roping Championship saddle at the Santa Cruz County Fair in 1989.

Hi! I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand - such a beautiful country that I miss very much. Things I love to do is hiking with my pup, being outside, and reading murder-mystery books (I am 100% a crime junkie). Can't wait to see your pets when they come to AHOS!

Hello, I’m Ashley. I have been a vet assistant for 1.5 years. I have had a passion for animals my entire life, especially marine life. I enjoy painting, hiking, and scuba diving. I also enjoy assisting on local marine research projects within Monterey Bay. In my spare time I like to play with my corgi puppy Odysseus. 

Brittney grew up in Carmel Valley on 13 acres with lots of animals. After going to college in San Diego she moved up here, to Santa Cruz to be closer to home. She has always loved animals but realized she wanted to work in the veterinary field after she found her dog Brooks who was near death, abandoned in a ditch on the side of the road. Brooks is a now five years old and spends her days running around on the beach, giving lots of cuddles, showing off her tricks for treats, and taking up most of Brittney's bed at night. Most recently, Brittney rehabilitated an injured baby squirrel who she named Bandon, an Eastern Gray Squirrel. After some love and care Bandon was healthy enough to be released and now lives in the forest. Until she finds another animal in need she enjoys being part of the continued care of all the wonderful pets we see here at the hospital.
