Dr. Porras

I graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 and quickly returned to my hometown. I started my career at Paws N’ Hooves and I hope to be here for the duration of it. My passion is internal medicine and dentistry in dogs and cats, although I do also enjoy surgery. I have a Mastiff named Sammie, a German Shepherd named Lola, a Mastiff mix named Coco and a Yorkie named Lupe. One of my goals for our clinic was to achieve accreditation through The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), which we were finally able to accomplish in July of 2021. This accreditation is something I am very proud of because it signifies that we meet an extensive list of standards required to provide high quality medicine, surgery and patient care. I also strongly believe in the importance of fear free tactics, a strong preventative medicine program and the human-animal bond. I hope that you come join our family here at Paws N’ Hooves. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies!

Management


Brianda, Paws N’ Hooves Mobile Veterinary Services

Director of Mobile Services

My love for animals started to show at a very young age. I started playing to be a veterinarian and help feed our neighborhood stray cats and dogs. My household consists of 7 dogs, 5 sugar gliders, and the love of my life my beautiful “Güero” the cat. All my pets have an interesting story behind their adoption, I really can’t see my life without them. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family, all my fur babies, and going to rodeos. Every day is a good day no matter the circumstances because every day you learn something new. I love client education, from preventative care medicine for puppies/kittens to hospice or special needs care for adults and senior pets. It’s my pleasure to provide guidance for the well-being of your fur babies. I really don’t see myself working in any other place, I love and enjoy what I do. I look forward to continue helping the El Paso community and their pets with Mesa Veterinary Clinic and Paws N’ Hooves Mobile Veterinary Services.


Olga, Paws N’ Hooves Veterinary Hospital

Hi! My name is Olga and even though I’m a new face I’ve been in the vet industry for over 10 years.

I enjoy being able to help the little ones without a voice and I’ve been blessed to have been able to work in this field for so long learning how to keep our little ones healthy. I’ve got six dogs which I love dearly and a cat that’s always getting into trouble. I’m excited to be part of the team and looking forward to meeting all of your little critters.

Technicians


Johana

Hello, my name is Johana. I was born in Cd. Juarez but was raised in El Paso, Tx. Once I graduated high school, I decided to pursue a degree in Education. I received an Associate of Arts in Elementary Education in 2006 and continued to get my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Southwestern Adventist University. After three years of being out of town, I decided to come back to my hometown to be with my family. Throughout the years I’ve worked in many different areas but never found my true calling until now. I’m thankful I was given the opportunity to take a Certified Veterinary Assistant course because if there’s one thing I love most aside from my family and being able to work with kids, is animals. Currently, I have four cats (my calico cat Baby, Nini aka Pishu Papa, Donnie, and Michaelangelo) and my big boy, a German Shepard/Lab mix, Bucky. I love working at the clinic because I get a sense of satisfaction to know that we’re helping one pet at a time to stay healthy. Our Doctors, technicians, and staff members genuinely care for every pet well-being that walks in through the door; and being able to snuggle with so many pets on a daily is always a plus!

Juarez I would always say once I was older I would find a home for all the stray dogs and cats in the world! Quite ambitious but it was the spark that motivated me to pursue a career in the Veterinary field. I attended CCTE during high school to attained my CVA and am currently enrolled in NMSU to get a bachelor’s in animal science.

I am from Florida where I’ve worked in the veterinary field for 9 years, 2 1/2 years in ER/ICU, 4 years in specialty surgery, 2 years in an Animal Resort/Customs K9 boarding and now the last few months in General Practice. I have a furr child named Owen Grady, an almost 2 year old pitbull. I love to draw and go hiking. I am currently in school obtaining my veterinary technician license to expand my knowledge in order to help more animals that cross my path. Animals are my passion, of all shapes and sizes. I hope to one day own my own sanctuary for all species that need a home. As well as own a business where I’d have a doggy school bus to help people who work long shifts know their pets are getting home safe. I treat every patient I come in contact with as my own, striving to ensure the most positive experience for the animal when visiting our clinic. I know I can speak for every person on our team when I say, we are the voices for all animals that we treat. I believe animals are our equals, and deserve so much love!
