Lead Kennel Tech 

I have always had a love for animals, growing up my brothers and I ran a pet boarding business out of our house so we got to experience being around all types of pets. I attended the Virginia School of Dog Grooming in 2006 and have been grooming since then. I enjoy grooming all types of breeds but especially like doing Shih Tzu, Golden Retrievers and Doodles.
When not working I spend time with my 3 rescue dogs and my wife and newborn son

Dr. Amanda Wolff is a 2014 graduate from University of Illinois College of Veterinary medicine. Originally from Illinois, she previously practiced in South Carolina and New Jersey. Dr. Wolff became part of the SAVH team in September 2019. She enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine and has a special interest in preventative care, dentistry, and developing long term relationships with families. Dr. Wolff is grateful for the opportunity to have worked in different areas of the country, but is excited to settle down in Texas.

Dr. Ammons grew up in the countryside of southern England, but moved back to the US to attend Texas A&M University, graduating with honors. A 1999 graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, she initially started out as a mixed animal veterinarian in East Texas. Dr. Ammons then spent the next 16 years in the field of emergency medicine before returning to general practice. She has an interest in soft tissue surgery and internal medicine. In her free time Dr. Ammons enjoys reading, gardening, horses and spending time at the beach. She also enjoys spending time with her Miniature Australian Sheperd, Dixie, and her two cats Patches and Cowboy. 

I have been a hairstylist for people for 30 years and about 8 years ago decided to combine my passion for dogs with my love of hair styling and attended grooming school and then joined the team at Stuebner Airline Pet Resort & Spa. I work one day a week as a groomer and four days as a hairstylist. I am often asked which I like better. I answer, “Both have their benefits. People sit still but dogs don’t complain.” The dogs bring me such joy and I smile and laugh all day.

We always had poodles, my mother showed poodles, Labrador retrievers as well as other breeds. I partially grew up at dog shows and was lucky enough to be influenced and mentored by some of the best groomers and handlers in the business.

I have always had a love for animals. When I was young, I was that little girl who brought home the stray, even when my father said no more! I started my career once my two boys began all-day school and now, twenty years later, I am still happily employed with Stuebner Airline Pet Resort & Spa as Groomer/Manager of the facility. I am very passionate about my work and I make sure to take special care with each pet I groom.
