Dr. Amy Besola

Animals have always meant a lot to me. I grew up riding horses and showing everything from ducks and geese to cattle and sheep at county fairs. I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Tinker, as a present from my grandfather for my fourth birthday. Some of my first memories are of holding her as a wiggly, cuddly puppy. I knew instantly that I wanted a lifetime of helping animals.” Dr. Amy received her DVM from WSU, along with a degree in animal agriculture. She has worked with horses, cattle, sheep, and goats; but has found her love of dogs and cats to be her calling in medicine.
