Cindy worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years prior to finding her home at Midvalley Animal Clinic in June of 2001. She was our lead technician for 3 years before being promoted to Office Manager. Without Cindy we could not continue to function and offer the medical services you have come to expect. Cindy is a true lover of all animals and uses her expertise to make sure Midvalley Animal Clinic runs smoothly and everyone from staff, to clients, to pets, are taken care of.

Prior to finding her home at Midvalley Animal Clinic, Shirley studied veterinary technology at Salt Lake Community College and Utah Career College. While attending school, she interned at the Utah Hogle Zoo, Tracy Aviary, and our own Midvalley Animal Clinic. Shirley has been at Midvalley Animal Clinic since 2003. Not only is Shirley one of our most experienced and expert technicians she also has the thankless job of doing all our orders. If there is something missing from the shelves or too much it is always her fault!!!! If you need a special order or product, Shirley will find it for you and get it taken care of. She is often the first one to volunteer to take home our weak rescues and nurse them back to health. That is how she ended up with a one-eyed pitbull that took 16 pills a day. Shirley is a member of the Great Salt Lake Training Club and the Salt Lake terrier association and works closely with the Bulldog Club of Utah/Rescue. She enjoys attending the Mountain Man Rendezvous and doing crafts. She is the one responsible for the crocheted hats that often make their rounds around the clinic cats. 

Rochelle’s career began in Las Vegas, NV as a full-time kennel technician and a part-time large exotic animal caregiver. Some of those animals included a coatimundi, lemur, bobcat, wallaby, several parrots, snakes, a serval, and yes... even a tarantula. She quickly realized how much she loved all aspects of the veterinary field began applying herself to master in other areas of the field. She was advanced to a veterinary technician position in the same hospital. She likes to say, “This was the beginning of the rest of her life.” Since 2005, Rochelle has worked all positions in a veterinary hospital from a veterinary technician, receptionist, kennel attendant, and even worked her way up to hospital manager. She spent a large portion of her career managing two part-time, small animal practices and created their first rescue program helping to remove adoptable animals from the kill list at the local shelter. She worked tirelessly to find perfect forever homes for over 50 animals. In the summer of 2008, Rochelle realized her love and passion for helping rescued animals was so great that she furthered her career by managing the shelter clinic at a no-kill animal shelter for 4 years. She was and is still a part of the nonstop mission to end overpopulation and the unnecessary euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals. Rochelle Joined Midvalley in February 2017. When her family decided to relocate to Utah. She is still trying to figure out this snow thing and why people like it. When she's not working, you can find Rochelle snuggled with all of her chihuahuas (Pablo, Diego, Jensen, Joshy, and Tip Tip) and one pitbull who might as well be a chihuahua (Zoso).
