Alisha Trotter, Office Manger
We welcomed back Alisha Trotter, as our Office Manger, in the summer of 2009! She returned to Bend after 5 years of living in Southern California
and working at a large Veterinary Hospital there. She has 15 years of veterinary experience and
worked with Dr. Maas for 4 years prior to moving to California. She is very happy to be back
and a part of Dr. Maas' team.
Alisha lives with her boyfriend Kip, two teenage sons Jayse and Cade, a Malamute/Husky named
Montague, 2 cats- Lucy and Fearless Einstein and a ball python called Archimedes, that explains
enough right there! They all are lovers of music (live if possible), camping, boating, movies
of every genre and all living creatures.

Amy Anderson
Amy was born in Roseburg, Oregon and moved to Bend when she was 12 years
old. She has been at Bend Veterinary Clinic for 10 years and really
enjoys being with us.
Amy has five cats; Kyoo her 9 year old female who loves to fetch mice,
Mizar a 6 year old male who gets very excited over any bug that may come
into the house, Spica (Spika) a 2 year old male who loves to watch birds
outside and is very mischievous getting into everything in the house.
And last but not least, Jethro a 5 year old male that is completely
blind. She adopted him shortly after he had his eye removed due to
infection and neglect as a kitten.
She enjoys spending time and playing with her cats, camping and
gardening. She has a variety of tropical houseplants from ivy plants to
even a banana plant. Someday she hopes to have her own house where she
can have a large garden and lots of room for her kitties to play. |

Kalei Lucas
Kalei Lucas started at Bend Veterinary Clinic in June 2008. She previously lived in
Hawaii when she was child, but has called Bend, Oregon home for over 20 years.
She is married,
has three very active children, Anela, Llliana and Treyden (born 2001, 2003, 2005), five
American Bulldogs and a cat.
She and her husband love the outdoors; camping, fishing, taking the kids and dogs to the lake
to swim. When she is not at the clinic she spends most of her time taking to school functions
or some sort of sporting event and/or practice.
Kalei and her husband breed American Bulldogs. They both grew up with all types of different
dog breeds, but there was something different about this particular breed that they just fell
in love with. Their dogs are raised in the home around their children, not in cages. Their
goal is to breed to positive temperament, family protection, solid muscle and bone structure
and work potential. To see their dogs and breeding program, you can check out their website at High Desert Bulldogs.

states of Texas, where she was born, Oklahoma and Louisiana. She then
moved to California with her family for three years prior to moving to
