Debbie
Gettys knew at a very young age that she wanted to work with animals.
She can never remember a time when there wasn't a cat, dog, horse, or bunny in
the house. She knew that she did not want to be a veterinarian but that she
wanted to be one that nursed them back to health. Debbie went to high school
in Grants Pass, Or. and then to Tacoma, Wa. to attend Pierce Community College
where she got her Associates degree in Animal Health Technology.After school she spent several years in practices in Oregon and Nevada working as a registered technician. She then took time away to pursue her interest in animal nutrition and worked for Hill's Pet Nutrition. She later realized she really missed working with animals directly and so returned to veterinary practice. She found us here at Memorial Beach Veterinary Hospital and professes a desire to make this her last stop. Along the way she also earned certifications in Nutrition and Veterinary Dentistry. Debbie loves her volunteer work at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. She has been working there for over 6 years, helping to rescue and release sea lions, elephant, and harbor seals. She was also able to help with a white-sided dolphin which was an amazing experience. PJ and Argo are her two kitty kids that are the most amazing pets on the planet. In 2009 she adopted a 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier with a pacemaker who keeps Debbie laughing. She could not imagine her life any other way! |
