About us

I have been working at the office for the past seven years and have really enjoyed my time here. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in advertising from SJSU, and I love how I get to use that along with my experience with animals on a daily basis. I am constantly learning new things everyday, and I really appreciate how much I feel I can help people through difficult times.

If I am not here, I am riding my horse, Murphy. He is an 11 year old Irish sport horse who I compete in show jumping, medals and equitation. I also enjoy taking my herd of dogs (whom you may already know), Chilli, a four-year-old JRT, Leila, a three-year-old Cairn Terrier, and Butters, a two-year-old Chihuahua mix, out for a hike. Chilli loves to give kisses and you may find him on the counter trying to go home with you. Leile loves to sleep on the back of our chairs, and Butters is the little nugget who was a rescue from work and very much the baby of the family! We also love to go to the beach (Chrissy field is my favorite), walk around the neighborhoods and downtown area and hanging out with our friend Chopper.

Hello! My name is Jenny and I have worked at Alta Vista for six years and plan to be here for many years to come. We are a family here, and it is why I love working at Alta Vista. We treat each other and our clients like family and want nothing but healthy and happy patients and clients.

All of my companion animals have been rescues from different clinics that I have worked at. Bella was my first rescue and she was nothing short of perfect. Being a Rottweiler and Labrador mix, she was tall, slender, black and tan and got the name Bella Noir (Black Beauty). She was hit by a car as a puppy and picked up by animal control and brought to a clinic. From day one she was smart, loving, obedient, loyal and dedicated. We took care of each other for twelve years, and I will never forget her.

Mister is my blind, long haired, sometimes sporting a Mohawk, cat who has a lot of spunk. He was run over by a car, and left blind with a broken hip and a severed tail. He too has been nothing but sweet and loving, and is hard to ignore.

Third and certainly not last, Chopper is a Miniature Pinscher, who is small, but full of energy, personality and attitude. He was born with "mega esophagus," which means that he vomits a lot due to his abnormal esophagus. He has been at Alta Vista since he was six weeks old and thinks he is the clinic bouncer. Don't be afraid or intimidated by this loud little spitfire! Ask him if he wants a cookie, and you will be at the front of the line!

Hi!

Hello, as many of you may know I am one of the Jennys here at alta visa. I am otherwise known as "little jenny." I graduated from the veterinary technology program at carrington college July of 2013 and received my state license February 2014. I would be lying if I said I didn't love animals, I mean I do have five dogs, five cats, one boa constrictor, and a bearded dragon. I love my job and love working here at Alta Vista. Dr. Budde and the staff are very knowledgeable and very caring. I'm also looking forward to meeting you and your furry pals!!
