Emily is from Montana but has lived in Boise since 2008. Her passion for helping animals started very early.

She left for a little over a year to improve her skills as a surgery technician at WestVet. She came back to Companions because she missed building relationships with pet owners and being able to follow up with her patients as they progressed through care and recovery.

She rafts, hikes, backpacks, and she started her own business making bandanas and toys for animals called Critters Harmony.

Fletcher was adopted in 2013 from the Wood River Valley Animal Shelter in Hailey, Idaho. He is one of those few dogs that can smile, and when he does, it wrinkles up his nose and makes him sneeze - it's very funny and endearing. He's always been a sweet and mellow guy. A genetic test revealed that Fletcher is a mix of Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Tibetan Terrier. He loves come to work and greet everyone, especially if they have a treat for him. Outside of work, he loves to go for walks with his dog friends and keep them in line with his mad herding skills
