Dr. Dunckel
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine - Knee Surgeon (TTA)
While a full-time practicing veterinarian, Dr. Dunckel operated one of the area’s most successful general practice veterinary hospitals. With his special training and experience in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, knee surgeries (TTA) became one of his most satisfying procedures. Although now able to indulge his passion for golf and travel, Dr. Dunckel remains committed to veterinary medicine and continues to perform knee surgeries (TTA) for a select number of local veterinary hospitals. Fox Run is proud to say Dr. Dunckel scrubs in with our team whenever there is a need.
Dr. Feliciano
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine - Dentistry
Dr. Feliciano graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in 2019. She began her career at a high-volume general practice in her hometown of Long Island, New York where she developed her passion for preventative medicine, surgery and dentistry. In 2022, Dr. Feliciano moved to Michigan and soon after decided to pursue dentistry full-time. Currently, she is at Fox Run every-other Wednesday.
Our Doctors with a Special Interest
The Management
Wendy
Practice Manager
Wendy joined us in 2024 as our Practice Manager. In the last 20 years, she has managed a variety of specialty-medical clinics, and now brings her organizational and administrative skills along with her passion for animals to Fox Run. She believes, much like Henry Dodd, that “most people miss opportunity because it comes disguised as hard work,” and Wendy is always willing to help our doctors and staff provide exceptional client outcomes. In her free time, she is known as her neighborhood’s crazy dog lady, and regularly walks her three setters and beagle. In her spare time, she reads voraciously when she isn’t creating mosaic and knitted crafts.
Judy
Human Resources Manager
Judith Findora, MA, LPC, CRC, CLCP (a.k.a. “Judy” or “Mama” Findora) is our Human Resource
Manager. Prior to officially joining the Fox Run team, Judy brought in a homemade lunch for the
hospital staff every Monday during the pandemic lockdown, earning her “Mama Findora” moniker. As
business increased, Judy was brought onboard to fulfill the human resource functions. Professionally,
Judy has a long history in human resources and labor market information and continues to testify as an expert in state and federal hearings.
Megan
Receptionist
Megan started in veterinary medicine in 2019 and joined the Fox Run team in 2022 as a Technician Assistant. Megan’s tendency to jump in and assist throughout the hospital helped her find her “niche” at the front desk. At heart Megan is a crazy cat lady. She enjoys spending time with her 2 dogs, 4 cats, and her husband. Megan is a skilled quilter and loves cozy bonfires at home.
Barbara
Receptionist
Coming to us in 2023 with a strong customer service background as a store manager, Barbara is in the second year of her second profession. She says that if she did not begin working in veterinary medicine, she would be a volunteer at an animal rescue. This is a good fit for Barbara, who fosters cats waiting for adoption. Right now she has 8 cats, most of them already adopted -- by Barbara! When the cats let her out of the house, Barbara enjoys working in her yard. Otherwise, you can usually find her reading with a cat or two on her lap.
Customer Care Specialists
The Fox Run Team
Kyla
Lead Technician
Kyla came to us immediately after graduating from Baker's Veterinary Technology program and has since become the "go to" staff member for anything examination, laboratory, or client education/information related in the hospital. She is a fully Licensed Veterinary Technician and excels at training interns and inexperienced staff. In her spare time, Kyla enjoys reading and spending time with friends. Since she can't be with her 3 cats while at work, you will often find her at a computer with one of our clinic cats on her lap.
Chris
Veterinary Technician
Chris started in veterinary medicine in 2013 and graduated from Macomb Community College’s Veterinary Technician program in 2017 with an associate degree of applied science. Since that time Chris has worked in emergency, internal medicine and general practice. He joined our team in 2020. Chris always has a bright, sunny attitude and smile. His special interest is backyard chickens and ducks. Outside of work Chris enjoys fishing, kayaking and horseback riding with his wife. Chris has 3 dogs, 1 cat, tropical fish and a flock of chickens and ducks.
Brandy
Dental Technician
Brandy came to FRAH in 2016 with twenty-plus years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine. Her knowledge is vast with a special interest in dentistry. She lives with her husband and their Yorkshire terrier, Chuck. They enjoy traveling northern Michigan and spending time outdoors.
Tracy
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Tracy comes to us with over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Prior to earning her licensure, she “paid her dues” as a kennel assistant, veterinary assistant, and veterinary receptionist, working her way up because she has a passion for helping animals and connecting with their owners. In fact, Tracy never seriously considered doing anything else! Her private collection consists of 2 dogs and 3 cats that came from the same litter. Tracy puts her family first, filling her home with fun and laughter spending time with her husband and children playing games, watching movies, and taking advantage of our community parks for the occasional stroll.
Alic
Veterinary Assistant
Alic has extensive experience in veterinary medicine, including veterinary assistant, lead veterinary assistant, and head of maintenance where he maintained and performed basic repairs and adjustments to the array of medical equipment used in veterinary medicine. His well-rounded experience makes him a perfect candidate to become a technician in the near future. He particularly enjoys working with clients as part of the examination process. Alic would adopt a bear if he could tame it, but in the meantime, he has dogs and cats at home. Alic is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, mountain biking and camping.
Beth
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Beth mirrors Fox Run’s commitment to the best medicine and onboarded slowly to ensure her
skills were intact before resuming full technician responsibilities after a hiatus from the field to
raise her children. It did not take long, however, for her to become our lead assistant, offering
advice and assistance in the hiring and training process for new assistants, gradually taking on
technician responsibilities. Beth finds working with pets, and the people who love them, to be
personally fulfilling. She has 4 mature furry family members: 2 cats, a beagle and a boxer mix,
all very loved and well cared for, almost as much as her husband and 2 daughters. Beth is a real
motor-city gal who enjoys car shows, motorcycling and snowmobiling.
Jessica
Veterinary Assistant
Jessica comes to Fox Run with three years of experience as a Kennel Assistant and is looking forward to expanding her skills as a Veterinary Assistant. Although Jessica is already well-educated, she changed her career course and plans to return to school to become a Veterinary Technician. She loves working with animals and says that if she was not pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, she would likely become a dog trainer. At home, Jessica trains with her Australian cattle dog, Ranger. Like so many of the Fox Run staff, Jessica is an avid reader.
Mikayla
Kennel Assistant
Mikayla is Dr. Findora’s daughter and she has a history of helping in various ways throughout the hospital, so we put her to work. She loves our employees, clients and everyone’s pets!
Addison
Kennel Assistant
Addison is an active high school student who is academically inclined and very active in competitive cheer. Addison wants to become a veterinarian in the future, so she contacted us to do some mentoring. We were so impressed with her we decided to make her one of the team. She can only spare a few hours after school, but her help cleaning and closing the hospital in those last hours makes everyone's job easier.
Tyson
Executive Assistant
Tyson was found as a stray kitten and presented to us in 2020 with ruptured corneas in both eyes and a severe upper respiratory infection. Dr. Findora has a soft spot for grey cats and eye cases, so took up the challenge to get the <1lb kitten back to health. The right eye was too damaged and required immediate surgery to remove it. Happily, the left eye responded to medications and healed leaving only a small scar that is still visible. Tyson is now comfortable and has adequate vision. Tyson now enjoys assisting all members of our team in their duties, as well as regularly greeting clients on the front desk. Tyson’s special interests include giving hugs, playing with toys and lounging in the sun.
Thalia
Activities Director
Talia was surrendered as a kitten to Fox Run in the spring of 2024. Our receptionist,
Barb, took her in as one of her fosters, but Tyson, our Executive Assistant, had other
plans for Talia, and it soon became obvious that she fancied him too. When they aren’t
making friends with patients, or sitting on Kyla’s lap, they are often found curled up
together in the reception area. Talia is young and still in training, so please be patient
with her.
Jackson
Head of Security
Jackson is Dr. Findora’s Australian Shepherd. He can usually be found snoozing under her desk in the office. Jackson previously lived on a working beef farm as an outdoor dog and was surrendered to a local rescue when the family was preparing to move. Dr. Findora was talked into taking him for the weekend by his foster mom and he just never left! Jackson now lives a life of luxury and sleeps with his mom every night. For an Aussie he is a pretty laid back guy. He helps to screen interviewees and boost staff morale.
In Remembrance
Molly
Public Relations Manager
Molly, our beloved Public Relations Manager, lost her battle with cancer early in 2024.
Many clients knew Molly and spent time with her while they were waiting for their own
pets, and a few even stopped in every now and again just to pet her. She passed
quietly surrounded by the entire staff.
