Donna has been serving the Raglan community for over 34 years as a veterinary nurse and advocate, caring for thousands of animals and their devoted owners.
At the former Raglan Vet Clinic, Donna was the sole nurse working alongside Ross Loveridge (pictured). Shane Massey joined later when Anexa took over, and together, the dynamic duo made history over the next 25 years. They are well-known, respected, and loved by all, going above and beyond with great compassion and hearts of gold.
Donna pioneered The Stray Animal Fund, a project in collaboration with Anexa, giving thousands of unwanted animals a second chance at life. The initiative has helped rehome many animals within the community, bringing joy and companionship to their new owners.
Donna is extremely hard-working, passionate, and caring. Having experienced her share of heartbreak, she is incredibly empathetic and understanding towards others. Her sense of humour and no-nonsense attitude has inspired many nurses who have had the privilege of working alongside her. She brings a sense of ‘family’ to the team, a natural ‘mother’ who has also raised five children of her own while nursing (not including the many animals she’s taken home!).
Her dedication and commitment to the lives of animals and the people of this town are unprecedented, and we are fortunate to still have her in our clinic today.
On behalf of the team at Anexa and the Raglan community, we thank you, Donna!
