| April Cockrum joined the staff at Spring Oaks Pet Lodging in September of 2010. She has spent her whole life around animals of various kinds. For over 10 years she has pet sat and volunteered at shelters, so she is very excited to start a career working with animals professionally. Currently being trained with ACT, Animal Care Training, she hopes to further her education with more classes and conferences. Besides working and playing with animals, April also works very hard in the arts, using her A.S. Degree in Film Production and Photography to work in the camera and art department for commercials and documentaries, and selling her artwork of many forms through her small business, A & J Arts. In all this, she loves anything involved in the outdoors, raising her daughter, Autumn, spending time with her fiancé, Jimmy and playing with her pets, 12 year old Great Dane/Black Lab mix, Mojo, 8 month old Boxer mix, Annie, 8 year old Tabby cat Pepper, and 2 year old orange short-haired, Einstein. |
