Her dreams are big, her kids are small, and when it comes to animals she loves them all! Meet Ashley, a certified veterinary technician who began working for Whiting Veterinary Clinic as a veterinary assistant and hopes to someday attend veterinary school.
At a very young age, Dani developed the utmost love and compassion for all kinds of animals! In the past 20 years, she has had experience being a kennel technician, veterinary technician, and veterinary receptionist. She enjoys being able to work in multiple departments. She also has worked at an animal shelter and done dog walking and pet sitting.
While she doesn't have any pets at the moment (in time that will change), she did have a pitbull who stole her heart! Since then she has been a big supporter of them!
When she is not at work you can find her at pitbull events, the beach, out taking pictures, and of course, meeting new fur friends!

What do all these places have in common, Whiting, Africa, Galapagos Islands, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Canada, Belize, Virgin Islands, and Wisconsin? Answer - They are all places Dr. Schorr has worked with animals!

Dr. Schorr graduated from University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School in 1993. Prior to attending Veterinary School she received a Bachelor's degree in in biology and a Masters degree in Wildlife Disease and Parasitology.

Another summer was spent in the Galapagos Islands helping with research on giant tortoises, and then trapping wild cats in Belize. She worked for the Canadian Wildlife Service trapping and banding ducks, helped collect wild pigs on Ossabow Island, and studied sea birds on an uninhabited island in the Caribbean. Dr. Schorr has always had a love and strong interest in animals of all kinds. She has now devoted herself to caring for your pets.
Dr. Schorr lives with her husband Don who can frequently be found at the clinic helping out, Bambi, her rescued shelti, who is often behind the front desk begging for treats, and a crazy little cat named kisses, rescued from the Crestwood Community Gardens.
