• Shirley Lopez , Lead Receptionist / Front Office Manager

  
  Shirley came to work at the Animal Clinic of Oak View after "retiring" from her manicuring job of 23 years, starting a brand new career where she could further nurture her love of animals. She enjoys working with the public, and is always quick with a warm smile and her welcoming personality. 
  
  A California native, Shirley was born and raised in Santa Paula, where she lived for 31 years.  She has also lived in Ventura and Fillmore. She came to live in Ojai 13 years ago, and can't imagine a better place to work and call home.  She has been married to her husband Sal for 26 years.  They have 2 sons, Chris, 24 years old and Kevan, 20 years old.  They have 2 cats, Angelo and Asia.
  
  Shirley loves spending time with her family; reading; watching movies; web surfing; making jewelry; vacations in Sedona; her '69 Mustang and anything that will make her laugh.
