Dr. Nasal

Dr. Elizabeth Nasal, D.V.M.

Owner, Veterinarian

As a child, Dr. Beth Nasal was forever bringing home stray animals and doing her best to nurse them back to health. While she wasn’t able to save them all, she gave it everything she had and in the process, ultimately discovered her true passion. This desire to help animals, coupled with a fascination with science, math and medicine, naturally led her to a career in the veterinary field.

Growing up in Lower Michigan, Dr. Nasal always dreamed of becoming a Michigan State Spartan. She practiced for a short time there before moving to a practice in Illinois. After several years at that practice, Dr. Nasal relocated to Green Bay, Wisconsin where she would eventually start her own practice – Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic, which has been going strong for more than 20 years. 

Professionally, Dr. Nasal enjoys educating clients about the various treatments that are available and the reasoning behind her recommendations. She also has a special interest in dentistry because she feels it is the one procedure that can make an enormous impact on a pet’s quality of life.

At home, Dr. Nasal is married to her husband, Kevin. The family is made complete with a male Pit Bull, Whiskey – so named for the color of the beverage. Whiskey is a total cuddle bug and loves to hang out with ‘Dad.’ He was adopted from the Baraboo Animal Shelter and spent four hours in a car driving through a blizzard to get back home.

Dr. Nasal’s hobbies include running and biking, both of which she does competitively. In 2008, she completed the Wisconsin Ironman with a smile on her face nearly the entire time.


Delaney

Office Manager / Veterinary Assistant

Growing up, Delaney’s family always had dogs. American Eskimos and Beagles were their two preferred breeds. It wasn’t until she reached adulthood and adopted her own dog, however, that Delaney decided to pursue a career working with animals. When her husky mix, Opiuo, experienced a medical scare, Delaney became obsessed with the veterinary world – a world that she is thrilled to finally be a part of!

Delaney’s journey began stocking shelves at a pet supply store. From there, she moved to Green Bay and landed a job at a doggie daycare, where she started out as a handler and eventually got promoted to receptionist. She joined the Happy Tails team in October of 2020, where she serves in the dual role of Office Manager and Veterinary Assistant. Her favorite thing to do clinically is laboratory work.

Outside of the clinic, Delaney shares her life with her husband and their loyal companions: Diamond and Lumi, both of whom are husky mixes. Despite their similar breeds, the two dogs couldn’t be more different. Lumi is certifiably insane, and Diamond prefers to play quietly with her toys – especially her fluffy stuffed animals.

In her spare time, Delaney attends classes as she is currently pursuing her degree as a veterinary technician. When she’s not at school or studying, she enjoys spending time with friends and having doggie play dates.


Meg

Meg

Veterinary Assistant

After spending years working in the customer service field, Meg decided that she wanted to find a job where she felt she made a difference. She had always had a passion for animals, so she decided to pursue a job where she got to spend her time helping furry critters. Today Meg is a veterinary assistant at Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic, and she’s happy for the chance to learn about and work with animals!

Raised in Wisconsin, Meg developed a love for animals, especially dogs (pitbulls are her favorite breed), at a young age. She attended University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where she studied Wildlife Ecology and Captive Wildlife. While in school, she interned at a zoo, which gave her a chance to become familiar with a variety of different species from all over the world.

Meg loves several aspects about her job. She likes doing research on patients for their appointments to get a better feel of what the problem is. She also enjoys restraining, and finds being able to successfully calm down a nervous animal to be highly rewarding!

Meg currently owns two Staffordshire mixes. In her free time, she runs her own pet sitting business called Megs Mutts LLC. She also enjoys being outdoors, whether she’s taking a nap in her lawn chair or going on a hike!


Ava

Ava

Veterinary Assistant

Growing up with intense agoraphobia and anxiety, Ava found comfort and safety with her cats. This sparked a desire to work in the animal field. When her beloved dog, Dexter, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, the family brought him to Happy Tails for cremation. The staff was so compassionate and patient, Ava knew she would one day serve and support other pet parents. Her dream came true in August of 2023!

Ava’s journey into the pet care industry began at a local doggy daycare, where she worked for over a year before the opportunity to work at Happy Tails arose. She applied, and the rest is history! As one of our veterinary assistants, Ava enjoys learning new things and meeting all kinds of pets. She also appreciates how every day is different.

At home, Ava has two black domestic shorthaired cats, Lint and JaJa. Lint is a feisty boy who will definitely let you know if he wants something. Originally told Lint was a girl, Ava bought lots of pink accessories, which she kept even after finding out he was a boy – because he just looks so good in pink! JaJa is a sweetheart and loves all people. 

In her spare time, Ava loves to read. Her favorite childhood book is told from the point of view of a stray dog. She once finished a whole novel in one day. One of her other hobbies is video games. She prefers simulation games or choose-your-own-story games.


Laura

Laura

Veterinary Assistant

If you ever see a stray dog running around the area, chances are you’ll also see Laura close behind trying to catch them so she can bring them to the humane society. Truth be told, her heart has always been for animals, so a career as a veterinary assistant seemed like a natural path to take. Anyone who encounters Laura knows how important keeping pets happy and healthy truly is to her!

Laura’s journey began at age 18, when she landed a job at a local vet hospital. After bouncing around to a couple of other clinics, she joined the Happy Tails team in September of 2023. Professionally, Laura loves the fact that every day is unique and there is always something new to learn. Being a busy vet assistant definitely keeps you on your toes!

At home, Laura is a fur-mom to a dog named Roxie, and two cats named Micah and Bandit James. Roxie and Bandit are both energetic, but three-legged Micah would much rather snooze than be bothered playing. Laura’s hobbies include drawing, coloring, and working on her truck. She also enjoys traveling and seeing new places. So far, she’s been on two Disney cruises and has visited the Bahamas and Mexico.
