Janis McCormack

Receptionist

Janis moved to West Plains, Missouri in February, 2008 from Southern California, where she was successfully self-employed at her pet store.  Prior to that position, she was the Director of Riverside County Department of Animal Services for over 4 years.  She earned her B.S. at the University of Illinois School of Agriculture, where her major was Animal Science. She graduated from the U of I in 1996 at the ripe old age of 44 years old, which goes to show it's never too late to get an education!

After graduation, she went to work for Kankakee Animal Control as their Coordinator/Director for 3.5 years.  She was able to get her experience in the animal clinic field while she was in college working at a thriving practice in Bourbonnais, Illinois and after college at an established animal hospital in Marshfield, Wisconsin.  She is originally from Chicago, Illinois. 

She and her husband, Dennis, have 3 dogs named Molly, Maggie, and Gretchen, a paint horse named Dixie, and numerous barn cats.  So far, she says she has found her life in West Plains to be a very pleasant experience and her employment at the Animal Clinic of West Plains to be extremely rewarding.
