Kellie

Kellie Strickland

Receptionist

Like most in the veterinary profession, Kellie has an innate love for animals and finds great satisfaction in seeing pets stay healthy. She’s also a people person through and through! What better way for her to use her people skills to help pets enjoy better lives than by working in an animal clinic? Kellie first started here at Smyrna Animal Hospital 22 years ago, and she’s thrilled to return home and continue caring for the area’s pets and animal owners!

A Marietta native, Kellie joined the Smyrna Animal Hospital family in the summer of 1996 and spent ten years tending to pets and owners before moving to southern Georgia in 2006 to care for her mother. She worked at another animal hospital there for five years before moving back to Smyrna and serving in a number of clinics for the next few years. When Kellie received a call from Smyrna Animal Hospital about an open position, she jumped at the opportunity to rejoin the compassionate and talented care team she had launched her veterinary journey with years before—Kellie has been here ever since.

At home, Kellie and her sister share their lives with three dogs: a Dachshund named Sylvia; a terrier mix puppy named Kenny, and Charlie, a dorkie. Kellie also enjoys visiting her brothers and their many canine companions—her older brother has six dogs, and her younger brother has 14!

Adam

Adam Rhodes

Veterinary Assistant

Adam stumbled into the veterinary field by accident when he was 23 years old. His sister-in-law had just started working at Smyrna Animal Hospital, and told him about an open position. He had never considered working with animals, but it wasn’t long before he fell in love with the profession!

Adam was born in Marietta, Georgia. He filled out an application in March of 2003 and had his interview the next day. He has served as a Veterinary Assistant ever since. Adam particularly likes assisting with surgeries, and also enjoys bathing animals because of the one-on-one time he can get with pets.

At home, Adam lives with his wife and two children. The family has four pets: Hope, a Chihuahua; Little Bit, a Jack Russell; Echo, a Yorkie; and Russell, a cat.

Cathy

Cathy Ennis

Head Veterinary Technician

29 years ago, Cathy walked into the clinic looking for a job. She came out with a career! Dr. Wolf called Cathy into his office, interviewed her, and hired her right on the spot. Now she serves as the Head Veterinary Technician at Smyrna Animal Hospital

Cathy grew up right here in Marietta. When she started at the clinic, she bathed pets, pulled blood, and took x-rays. In 2004, she was given the opportunity to take the Georgia licensing test, which she passed to become a certified Veterinary Technician. Her favorite parts of the job are preparing for surgeries, monitoring surgeries, and seeing a pet the whole way through until they’re healthy enough to go home.

Cathy is married and has two daughters. She has one pet at home, a dog named Piper. She’s also taken in turtles, rabbits, a chinchilla, several squirrels, and a lot of cats!

Outside of work, Cathy is active in her church and even traveled to Alaska on a missionary trip last year! She also likes boating and going to the lake with family and friends.

Charlotte

Charlotte Rhodes

Office Manager

Having been downsized from the banking industry and having to drive to Buckhead every day, Charlotte was looking for something less stressful and closer to home. She applied at Smyrna Animal Hospital and was hired in March of 2003 as a receptionist. When the previous office manager moved on, Charlotte was ready to fill the position!

Charlotte has always enjoyed math and accounting, so she’s a great fit for the Office Manager role. She says that when the numbers start running together, she can take a break by going to the treatment or boarding area of the clinic and love on a pet—it’s a great stress reliever!

Charlotte is married and has four children as well as four grandchildren. At home, she has one Chihuahuas, a bunny, and a cat. When she isn’t working or spending time with her family, Charlotte enjoys watching college football, reading, and attending church.

Misty

Misty Rhodes

Veterinary Technician

Misty knows that being a Veterinary Technician isn’t just about helping pets—it’s about helping their owners as well! She always wanted to help both people and animals, and serving as a Technician allows her to do just that.

Born and raised in Georgia, Misty came to the clinic in 1998 to apply right out of high school. Once hired, she started school at Kennesaw State University. Later, she took the state board test and became a registered Veterinary Technician. Wound care is a specific interest of Misty’s; she loves seeing how treatment makes a difference each day.

Misty is married and has two children. She also shares her home with four pets: Little Bit, a Jack Russell; Echo, a Yorkie; Russell, a cat; and Hope, a Chihuahua. Little Bit and Hope are actually rescues from Smyrna Animal Hospital!
