Alicia Dassow - Veterinary Assistant

Alicia joined the Hometown Animal Hospital team in the Spring of 2009. She was raised in Chattaroy and finished High School at Riverside.

She then completed the Veterinary Assistant program at Apollo College . After graduation she worked in Post Falls and North Spokane as a veterinary assistant. Having no idea about her life plan after High School, she applied to the Veterinary Assistant Program on a whim. It took her by surprise that she has fallen in love with her career and her patients and she is reminded daily of the rewarding, yet challenging, path she has taken. Loving their floppy ears, Alicia keeps herself company with her two coonhounds, Copper and Johnny. Her hobbies are camping, fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities, but especially spending time with family and friends.

Katie was raised in the Deer Park area and has always had a love for animals. Her family pets have included dogs, cats, rabbits, potbellied pigs, cattle, and birds. When younger, she participated in many 4-H events, started a small Mini Rex rabbitry, and showed her Dachshund, Chloe. Katie's more current hobbies include reading, drawing, going to movies, and spending time with friends.
