Our friendly Client Relation Specialits 

                     welcome you to Ruidoso Animal Clinic.


My name is Molly Orr, I am the Office Manager for Ruidoso Animal Clinic. I came to work for Dr. Willard in April 1986. My position was veterinary assistant and receptionist.

Later I became the office manager and client relations specialist.  My love of animals and the special feeling I have for my clients, and working with a great doctor and very special fellow employees, makes it a joy to be a part of the Ruidoso Animal Clinic. 

My parents were in the Air Force, which made it possible for me to live in several different states from California to Maine.  Roswell is my hometown and spending summers in Ruidoso with my grandparents, the Amonetts, introduced me to a place that I love, so I've been here since 1967. I have three grown children and four grandchildren. I am fortunate to have all of them live here in Ruidoso. My interests are my children and grandchildren. I have three Italian greyhounds and two cats, all of which rule my house. I love to country western dance and I have been restoring a 1966 Austin Healey Mark III 3000, which I hope someday to be able to drive again.


My name is Diane Travis, I have been with Ruidoso Animal Clinic in the position of part time receptionist since March 1999. Before that I worked at Royal Highlands Animal Clinic in Dallas, Texas for four years.

I attended and graduated from the State University of N.Y. at Buffalo with a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I enjoy all outdoor activities and I love to read. I have five cats and two dogs and a bird. My husband Ron and I have been married for 35 years. We have two children and six grandchildren.

I am Laura Cruz, the newest member of the Client Relations team. I grew up in the Hondo Valley and graduated from Ruidoso High School in 2002.  After high school, I briefly attended Eastern New Mexico University Ruidoso and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces where I studied graphic design.  Later, I lived for a year in Taos, New Mexico.  I am the 3rd of four children and my hobbies include reading, painting, photography, soccer and dancing.  I also enjoy being an active member of my church.

Our skilled veterinary assistants

                     are ready provide support to doctors, patients and clients.


My name is Cynthia Thompson. I am Outpatient Services Coordinator.  Originally from Dallas, Texas, I attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, and then moved to Lincoln County, NM in 1980.

 I came to work for Dr. Willard in June 2004.  I am from a ranching family and have had horses, dogs, cats, and farm animals all my life. Now I have a Standard Poodle, Angus and a spotted mule named Henry.  Dr. Willard has been our veterinarian since I moved to New Mexico and I have always admired and respected him. I really enjoy my work at Ruidoso Animal Clinic. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to help promote preventative healthcare as well as help owners gain a better understanding of treatments for their sick or injured animals. I look forward to each day at Ruidoso Animal Clinic, working with people and their special pets.

Hi, my name is Deb Kearney and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician.  I have been at Ruidoso Animal Clinic since May 2005, when I moved to Ruidoso from Grand Rapids, MI. 
Originally from the Detroit area, I graduated from Macomb County Community College with honors in 1978, earning an Associate Degree in Applied Science/Veterinary Technician.  I went on to work at various veterinary practices, including a year at Michigan State University Veterinary Clinical Center.  I married a veterinarian in 1980 and together we started a practice in Grand Rapids.  In 1997 we divorced and I spent seven years as a Surgical Scrub Technician for nine ophthalmologists at an outpatient surgical center.  Missing my true calling of working with animals and the long time desire to move west, brought me to Ruidoso Animal Clinic and New Mexico.  When not working, I enjoy the great outdoors, reading, shopping and spending time with my rescued greyhound, Claire, Springer Spaniel, Bailey and cat, Simon.

Abel Guzman is an animal caretaker here at Ruidoso Animal Clinic.

Abel came to us in August of 2003 after four years of experience grooming and caring for registered Collies, Shelties, Pomeranians and Kerry Blue Terriers. Abel is a proud graduate of Ruidoso High School.  He is in charge of all nursing care, hospital maintenance and handling difficult patients. Abel is a fine addition to our staff and we are lucky to have someone of his abilities.

and last but not least...Rusty our official greeter!!
