“I am very excited to join all of the wonderful staff at Dufferin Veterinary Hospital! It feels good to be practicing so close to where I grew up. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged companions at either the Orangeville or Shelburne offices.”

Dr. Hartnett was accepted into the Ontario Veterinary College, and graduated with distinction in 2018. She joined our team in March of 2019 and couldn’t be happier to serve the clients of our Orangeville and Shelburne locations, and their beloved pets!

In her spare time, Dr. Hartnett loves long-distance running, yoga, baking, and watching musicals. She shares her home with two cuddly cats, Ziggy Stardust and Rainbow.

Lorie grew up in the bustling town of Mulmur, population 52. She came to work for Dufferin Veterinary Hospital in 2009. She has been wowing the clients with her extreme enthusiasm for all things chihuahua ever since. In her spare time, Lorie enjoys snuggling in her chihuahua jammies by the fireplace and watching Johnny Depp movies. When Lorie is not at home you can find her taking long walks on the beach and drinking umbrella drinks. Lorie’s future professional goals include cat hair knitting, celebrity cyberstalking and veterinary hospital management. Her outgoing and friendly attitude make our day, we hope it makes yours too.

Trish joins our team as a Client Service Representative with 17 years experience. Originally a city girl, she now loves living the country life with her husband and their 13-year-old cat Abby. Abby is a bit on the wild side, therefore, Trish’s dream to have a home full of pets is not an option. She is always happy to greet our clients and their pets, and she will love your pets like they are her own.

When not working, she loves gardening, bicycling, hiking, and camping. She has a passion for gorillas and likes to visit Charles and his family at the Toronto Zoo. She also loves watching action movies, Supernatural, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs!

Barb joined our team in 2018 with 10 years experience as a Client Service Representative and an Animal Care Assistant. Her passion for animals goes way back to her childhood and she has passed the same love for animals on to her two children. Barb shares her home with her crazy Bengal cat Jax, her Persian cat Opie, and her 100lb lap dog Chance. When not at work she loves to travel (especially to NYC), skydive, snowboard, and go on random crazy adventures with her kids.
