Kim Barrett

Hospital Administrator

I began my career with Best Friends as a receptionist in November of 97'. After 5 years I became the hospital manager. I am so fortunate that I have been given this opportunity to work with such a wonderful group of people, and for such a wonderful company.

I am passionate about helping others which keeps me involved in programs like Meals on Wheels with the Friendship Center in the Woodlands, The Humane Society of Montgomery County and Fostering for the Golden Retriever Rescue of Houston.

Karla Thompson

Assistant Manager

Moved to Texas from North Florida in August 2000. Have been employed with Best Friends since then. I have worked with animals all my life! My family raised & trained Greyhounds for over 20 years. I have cared for and worked with Running Quarter Horses & Thoroughbreds since I was 16yrs old. Horses are one of my passions. I worked for a Humane Society in North Florida for 6 years as Manager. While employed with Humane Society, I attended two classes at the University of Florida for Equine body conditioning & animal cruelty investigator, also attending all Animal Expos every year. In 1998, I got into the veterinary field and cannot think of anything else I would love to do more!

Best Friends is a wonderful company & I love all our staff to pieces!
