Anousha Pelrine
Receptionist
Anousha's Bio
Anousha was born and has spent her whole life living in downtown Toronto. Coming from a family of animal lovers and constantly being surrounded by cats and dogs growing up she eventually realized that there was nothing she’d rather do in life than work with animals. Eventually Anousha found a position in the veterinary industry, and after having worked in multiple roles over the past three and a half years at her previous clinic she made her way to ours, and couldn’t be happier. The only thing she loves more than cycling to the island with a good book in the summer, is curling up with her two cats and a cup of tea at home.
