She even designs home blueprints, just for fun. We love chatting with Kailey because of her curious mind. She’s big into traveling— although she’s been busy with school and following the pandemic restrictions as of late, she loved her last visit to London in 2019. Kailey’s other
hobbies include playing board games, hiking (or spending any time outdoors), and spending time with friends and family. Valerie Henry, Kennel Assistant Many of our staffmembers are superheroes in their own way! But Valerie has superpowers— that is, she has a superhuman ability to remember where things are. Whenever her family loses something, they ask Valerie where it is. You can always count onValerie to find wherever the lost things are!

One of her favorite recipes is veggie wraps with peppers, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, andmushrooms. It’d definitely be a recipe worth stealing fromher sometime!
