Catherine Sparks (shown here checking in a client) can say at least once a day, that she is truly blessed to be able to do exactly what she loves doing. Since childhood, her world has been continually enriched by the experiences she has shared with animals. Having been involved with animal medicine for nearly six years, she finds her passion for animals is ever expanding.

Her dog Meatball, (a very becoming basset hound), along with his four feline siblings, (equally as becoming), fills her life with unimaginable joy. It is because she recognizes this same joy in others when she meets them and their pets, that she knows she has found a home in her career and a family in all those who are a part of our hospital.

Donna Lawson (shown here preparing a blood sample for in-house testing) started with Keystone Animal Hospital in January of 2005. She had been working in the veterinary medicine field for 5 years prior to joining the team. She has 2 sons, a daughter, and 2 cats.

Donna spends some of her spare time working with horses and is an announcer at local horse shows. During her time at Keystone Animal Hospital she feels that everyday is a great learning experience for her, both with the animals and the staff.

Compassion and love for animals brought Amy Blackwell (shown here in our on-site lab) to our doors over 3 ½ years ago. She started out volunteering and has since made a career within the field of animal medicine.

Amy has lived in the Oxford area for 24 years, currently residing in West Grove with her fiancé Curtis Mason Jr. and wonderful 7 year old son, Kyle. Additions to her family are her beloved felines Blanket and Moo. Amy feels greatly rewarded and truly honored to be working with her 2 nd family here at Keystone Animal Hospital.

Rachel and her large, home-schooling family live on a small hobby farm where she can nurture her love of all things furry and feathery. She says she is so happy to be working in a place that cares so deeply for both animals and their owners.

Howdy! My name is Stephanie Pizzulli and I am presently enrolled within the Veterinary Nurse program offered through Pennfoster. Working with both animals and their “parents” has continually made my heart smile – so when I was offered the chance to become a part of the Keystone Animal Hospital team, I knew that it was one of those pivotal life moments. By submerging myself both at school and then in the actual field of animal medicine, my experience is blossoming quickly into what will be a wonderful career.

Everyone within Keystone has been so nurturing – both my co-workers and all of our clients I’m meeting every day – I know I’m lucky! On the homestead – I am also supported by my wonderful new husband, Mike who loves animals as much as I do. We have started our family with two dogs –as opposite as can be – Diesel, a big, longhaired, silly, German Shepard and Dakota, a small, shorthaired hurricane of a Puggle, (Pug and Beagle Mix). Sharing is this animated mix, is our cat, Jack Jack – who wished for me to tell you that he is much more “mature and smart” than his canine brothers. I hope that I will have the chance to meet you and your loved ones soon.

Hi!  My name is Chamellia.  I joined the great staff at Keystone in June 2007.  Tobias is my 4 year old Chihuahua which, for now, is an only child.  Carriage driving became a hobby and a job of mine 5 years ago and I been horseback riding since I could walk.  I am also a nationally certified firefighter and EMT with the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company in Unionville, PA where I reside.  Protecting the lives of those whose mean so much to us is the force that drives me each day.

My name is Ashley Benson.  I recently joined the team a Keystone Animal Hospital in September 2007 after graduating from Harcum College with a degree in Veterinary Technology.  When I am not a work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family including my 5 wonderful children – 4 furry felines and 1 energetic Golden Retriever.  Everyday is a learning experience and I love having a career in veterinary medicine.

Hi! I’m Kelly.  I am a life-long animal enthusiast who became a member of the Keystone team in May 2007.  I am using this valuable experience to prepare for a career in veterinary medicine as I hope to attend veterinary school in the fall. Following my education in Oxford Area School system, I earned my undergraduate degree at Washington College located in beautiful Chestertown, MD.  I then spent several years in Europe and Lafayette, IN. before returning home to PA to focus on my career goals.  Currently I am owned by one very spoiled cat named Bailey.

A group of grown cats is called a "clowder."
