The newest member of D. Barrese’s herd. Golden retriever who SHOCKINGLY loves attention! He will do anything for a snuggle and a snack. Good at being bold. Even better at eating all the things. He’s lucky he’s adorable and he’s a fantastic greeter!

Rescue cat with with cerebellar hypoplasia. Don’t be fooled though, she may be extra wobbly, but she can climb a cat tree better than most cats!

Rescue stray cat found on Dr. Barrese’s back porch with the dogs. Her main service is just demanding pets and being told she’s beautiful. If you see her on the desk, make sure to give her a head scratch and tell her how lovely she is! Or else she will stare at you until you do!
