Through high school she was employed with Gist Answering Service where she answered emergency calls for the Humane Society of Carroll County, along with many veterinarians, doctors and businesses in the area. The business shut down in November of 1999. Adrienne came to work for Shady Spring in April of 2000, working her way up to pet care manager and diets and medications technician. She began taking veterinary assistant certification courses with Thompson University online while working full time, completing her courses in 2002. She also has three years of hands-on training with an experienced vet tech mentor at Shady Spring. Her menagerie of pets has included chinchillas, ferrets, snakes, turtles, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, bunnies, iguanas, frogs and a horse.

Born and raised in New York City, Derek moved to Maryland in 1986. He attended college at Howard Community in Columbia, MD in pursuit of a degree in Music Education. He began working in catering at Produce Galore in Columbia for 5 years. In 1994, he came to Shady Spring Kennels and started as a driver and working the evening shift. During this time, he also started showing Dalmatians in confirmation after he adopted his first dog, “Sterling”, from the breeder/owner of Shady Spring Kennels. Sterling finished his championship in late 1995. Derek worked his way up and has worked in every department learning how everything operates. In 2001, he became active in pet and animal relocation. He began attending the IPATA (www.ipata.com) conferences every year to learn about the trade. He assists clients with relocating their pets when they travel either for work or to move permanently. As a result of these two positions he has met some amazing people and pets and looks forward to expanding the pet relocation department for Shady Spring Kennels.
