Ashley LarsonA native of Denver, CO, Ashley grew up with a love of animals, sharing a house with mostly dogs and also a few hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs. In 2006, she got a job at the front desk of an animal hospital in Santa Barbara, CA, and realized she had found her "people." She never left the veterinary field and spent the past 7 years as the Practice Manager of an 8-doctor small animal and exotic hospital in Aurora, CO.

In December 2017, Ashley had to say good-bye to her best dog friend of 10 years, Tiger. She was truly touched by the Pet Loss Support Group and knew she had found something special in the Human Animal Bond Trust. Ashley became involved on the board in June 2018 and looks forward to supporting the group that means so much to her.

Some of her favorite things are coloring, reading, planning, and organizing. She also loves animals (dogs, wolves, foxes, lemurs, otters, and orca whales... to name a few!), snowboarding, and spending time in beautiful Colorado with her husband and daughter. Ashley's critter family currently includes a beagle/lab mix named Diver, 2 cats, Olive Oyl and Mowgley, and a box turtle named Leafy.
