My name is Jonni. I am a wife and mother to four children, three girls and one boy. I moved to Bladen County when I was 10 years old, so I have lived here most of my life. I have worked at Bladen Animal Hospital since 2012. I started working under Dr. Midyette in 2012 and stayed on when the business changed ownership in 2014. I have always loved animals and wanted every animal that I saw. I enjoy working with everyone’s animals. I am working on a small farm myself! I currently have four dogs, three cats, and one pig. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. I look forward to caring for all your furbabies.
