Dr. Vasilakis donates her time to our facility to make sure our animals receive the very best veterinary care.

James is a new Volunteer at Newhouse.
He is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and a veterinary technician. He brings so much medical knowledge to our team. If he doesn’t know something, he is eager to learn. Whether he gets his answers from us, veterinarians he knows or books he reads - he won’t stop until his thirst for knowledge has been quenched. His intelligence and wit are only outmatched by his empathy. His love for any animal or human that is suffering is palpable.
James is a ray of sunshine for both the animals and the people here at Newhouse Wildlife Rescue and we are so grateful to have him on our team.
