Bayside Hospital for Animals

Jennifer Jones:

Jennifer is from Louisiana where she started her career volunteering at a animal shelter. In 2015 she had a chance to apply for a kennel technician that housed 73 runs at a veterinary/boarding facility. In 3 months she was promoted surgery technician and stayed at that position for 1 1/2 years before moving to Fort  Walton Beach in September of 2016. After moving to sunny Fort Walton Beach she accepted a position a Bayside Hospital for Animals as a veterinary technician. Jennifer loves her job and has a great understanding for aggressive dogs, having one herself.  She loves all dogs but has a super soft spot for "Pitties".   In her spare time, she spends as much time as possible with her fur babies, King Max and Star Jewel.  If she is not with them doing her daily 2 mile walk, she can be found walking someone else's dog.  She also spends a lot of her time selling donated items to benefit rescues.  

Erin Buckley:

Erin was born and raised in Illinois until moving to Fort Walton Beach in 2017.  She joined the Bayside family in March of 2019. She has two dogs of her own, Genevieve who is a 6 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd/Beagle mix who she rescued from PAWS and Charlie who is a 3 1/2 year old mixed breed that was a surrender to Bayside as a puppy whom she took home for a weekend and the rest is history. 

Erin has loved animals form a young age and always had pets growing up. She has a soft spot in her heart for the senior babies that come into the clinic. In Erin's free time she likes to be outdoors in the sun, curled up reading a good book, or spending time with her dogs.
