Determination Leads the Way
Junior college student Janay Suttles works at Dogologie for a specific reason: she loves working with animals. She said horses or large animals are her favorites, and she looks forward to using her experience as a volunteer and collecting hours in veterinarian Robert Lastovica's practice to gain an edge to get into veterinary school. Janay said she does not mind the 'little' things like prepping the packs, cleaning stalls, or handling the sanitation duties necessary to help the animals. She does not accumulate hours to get into school; this love of animals dates back to her third-grade memory of a race she watched with her mother and witnessed an accident. Her mother relayed the news the horse was put down because of injuries.
Now 21, she kept the memory of that incident alive, thinking she wanted to change the outcome of what happens to animals in this situation.
"There has to be a better way than to put down the animal, and I was determined to discover that way."
Like most kids devoted to animals, Janay showed swine in FFA and became a fair duchess and a peach duchess. This experience helped her become a young ambassador for different events but helped her by being around animals.
Raised by her mother, Janay declares she is debt-free, earning scholarships to pay for school at Lubbock Christian University.
"I have worked very hard to be able to realize this dream."
Her top schools are Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma University and Louisiana State. If the dream is not a reality, she is preparing for that.
"I must have applications turned in by next March, and then the interviews begin."
She said plans to try again until she gets in or becomes a vet tech, anything she can to be close to the animals.
"I will go where God puts me."
