Lily Foster, our most recently hired veterinary assistant, joined our clinic family in the late spring of 2025. A graduate of South Jefferson Central School, Lily has always enjoyed working with animals and is no stranger to veterinary medicine. She has been in the role as both veterinary assistant and client service representative since 2020 - what a challenging year to jump headfirst into this profession! When asked why she chose The Animal Doctors, Lily said that she loved our clinic’s morals and was excited to learn and grow in an environment with a small, tight-knit group of people.

Lily has become an integral part of our team in just a short period of time! She excels at keeping appointments flowing and keeping the doctors on schedule as much as possible! She is a cheerleader for all of her teammates and reads people really well. Anticipating when someone might need something, Lily steps in to help before the other person realizes that help is even needed! She is a huge advocate for our patients and is extremely kind to our clients, whether they are at the clinic or on the telephone. She is excited to learn new things about veterinary medicine and comes up with some really good questions to ask about cases.

A fun fact about Lily is that, even though she is allergic to bees, she has a honey bee colony on her property! In her spare time, she enjoys reading, kayaking, and exploring the outdoors! She shares her home with her husband, their young son, a handsome Golden Doodle named Finn, and “1 1/2 cats” (an indoor calico cat and an outdoor cat that she feeds)!

If you could leave one piece of information for every pet parent, what would it be?

Love on them while you can!

Use preventatives all year round!
