NURSING SERVICES TEAM LEADERS
Ryan Best - Nursing ServicesRyan Best
Ryan Best graduated from LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in 1998. Prior to working at Animal Kind, he worked at the Humane Society in Manhattan. He draws his inspiration from his dog, Zeus, who is a ten year old red-nosed pitbull who is obedience trained, protection trained and is also a show dog. Zeus is great with Ryan’s kids and is his best friend.

Ryan loves listening to music, drawing, spending time with his family and in his spare time he installs car alarms and car audio equipment.







Dixie Soto - Dental Lab TechnicianDixie Soto
Dixie Soto worked as a dental lab technician until she realized her life long love for animals and for the past twenty-three years she has been working with them. She has one cat that she shares with her daughter named Oomi. Oomi is a little psychotic, but they love him.

Her interest is reading, we, here at Animal Kind, hardly ever see her without a book.

GROOMING
Ann Raftery - Groomer
Ann Raftery has been working for Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital since about 1995. She came into this field because she enjoys working with animals. Her favorite part about working in this area of animal health care is seeing how great the animals look when she is done grooming them.

Ann works with most breeds of dogs and cats with the help of her assistant groomer, Priscilla.
