Hello from Ann. Dr. Vercil Senseman and I opened North Shore Animal Hospital on March 3, 1963. In addition to doing the bookkeeping for the hospital, I raised five children, graduated from Edison College School of Nursing, and worked at the "people" hospital for 15 years. North Shore is still an important part of my life, and the care of your pets is our main concern.

 

 

I have two of the sweetest dogs, Star a 6 year old poodle and Twinkles, a 2 1/2 year old Yorkie.

I have worked in animal hospitals for over 26 years, from New Jersey down to Florida.

I also have done many kitten rescues and fostering for over 35 years.

My name is Mackenzie and although I just recently started working at North Shore Animal Hospital, I have brought my pets here all my life. I have always been an animal lover and currently have 2 dogs of my own. I am enrolled at Edison State College working towards my associates. I love to help people, enjoy being around animals and I am eager to learn new things.

Lori: I have worked in the animal care field for 12 years. My love of animals started at the early age of 4 1/2 years when I purchased my first dog with my allowance ($4.25), a beagle puppy named Honey. I currently have 1 dog, a Min. Pin. named Peanut who's an avid sailor. I plan to continue caring for animals as long as possible.
