Meet the Staff
Meleah Exploring the animal kingdom has always been one of Meleah’s primary goals. That goal has been achieved thus far through seeking variety in her pets, in her work and education, and in her experiences in the great outdoors. Volunteering at animal shelters, horse rescues, and wildlife rehabilitation centers have given Meleah the opportunity to experience the care, temperament, and medical needs of many different animals. From earning the trust of abused horses, to bottle feeding baby raccoons, her passion and knowledge has continued to grow. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Zoology has given her valuable knowledge with a scientific approach to how animals bodies and minds work. Life is about exploring your passions, which Meleah does by exploring new facets of the animal care industry, currently she is learning more about a holistic lifestyle through her job here at Ancient Arts. She also loves to explore nature via horseback riding, kayaking, hiking, and hopefully one day scuba diving. Meleah is currently the proud co-owner/fur-mom of Levi (an older rescued Arabian horse), Captain (a young Dalmatian), and Loki (an older German Short-haired pointer). Captain has been trained to help with reception and greeting since he was a puppy. You can often see him peeking over the front desk, or trying to crawl under it! Loki only comes in on very quiet days when he can help with supplement refills and inventory. |

Sophi (Rest in Peace)
