Gail has been the practice manager since she and Dr. Anderson built the practice in 1985. They have been married for over 40 years and have four adult children and seven grandchildren. She attended IUSB and Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. Her love for animals really sparked when she met Dr. Anderson and has continued to grow since. She really enjoys helping clients with their questions and helping them make the best decisions for their pets’ health. Her favorite part of working at the practice is being able to work with her family and establishing relationships with clients. In her free time, she loves watching her grandkids. She also enjoys cooking, redecorating, and shopping with her daughters. She has two dogs, Rugby, whose favorite thing to do is collect rocks out of the lake, and Bella, whose favorite thing to do is snuggle on the couch at night with Dr. Anderson.

Gina has been working at MACC since 1994 and is a graduate of Mishawaka High School. She has been married for 25 years and has five children, four boys and one girl. She has always had a passion for helping animals since her family saved and cared for many stray cats when she was young. Her favorite part of her job is working as a team helping all of our furry friends live their best, healthiest lives and providing love and comfort to all of the patients. You can always find her sitting in a run with an animal after surgery, snuggling and petting them. In her free time, she really enjoys spending time with her family, reading, watching movies, and watching her favorite football team, The Chicago Bears. She has 2 dogs, Payton, whose favorite thing to do is play tug-of-war, and Muffin, who loves to snuggle and sleep all day. She also has many kitties that she’s rescued ranging from 1-11 years old.

Mia is currently attending Penn High School as a junior. Mia grew up with animals in her family and has always had a love for being around them. Her favorite part of her job is spending time with the dogs in our boarding kennel and learning about the importance of preventative care in animals. In her free time she enjoys painting, spending time with her friends and family, and playing with any pet she is able to interact with. At home, she has an 11-year-old Schnauzer named Bandit and a three-year-old Havanese named Luna.

Chowder was brought to us about 3 years ago as a lost kitten. Chowder has grown up to be a very loving and affectionate boy, who loves to play and nap with Stanley. Today he lives a very comfortable lifestyle in the clinic, where he has numerous places to nap, always a free hot meal at a moment’s notice, and plenty of toys to keep his small cat brain occupied. Unlike Stanley, Chowder does not have many responsibilities around the clinic. He is pretty much a free-loader and just does what he pleases. He goes crazy for cat nip, especially rolling around in it, loves watching shiny spots on the walls, and is always looking for trouble. When he is not occupied with his favorite hobbies, he is seeking attention from his co-workers where he will give an occasional love bite and then will retreat for the afternoon to take a nice warm cat nap in a cupboard of blankets.
