Camille Little, Veterinary Service Liaison

Camille Little joined the Dana Niguel team in 2002 as a receptionist. Prior to that, she worked for an equine veterinary practice in San Juan Capistrano for 13 years. As a life-long pet lover and owner, it seemed a natural choice to have a career involving companion animals.

Camille presently shares her home with her Collie, Matty, and four cats: Kelly, Bobbie, Melanie, and JJ. Camille recently adopted JJ, who had been a stray, “teenage” cat in her neighborhood. The girls aren’t sure what to make of him, but Matty likes him. But, then, Matty likes everybody! Rounding out the four-legged family is Camille’s beautiful Arabian mare, Kadie, who is boarded in San Juan Capistrano.

Camille loves all the animals and feels her best therapy is the time she spends caring for her horse. When not working, Camille loves to read and have family dinners with her grown sons, Lance and Eric.

Megan Riebe, Veterinary Service Liaison

Megan Riebe moved to California from New Mexico in February of 2005 and started working at Dana Niguel Veterinary Hospital in May of 2005. Sadly, she had to leave her 2-year-old Boston Terrier, Maynard, behind with a loved one. Maynard was like a child to her and she was heartbroken when she had to leave him. This is what led her to working in a field with animals. Megan knows first-hand how great a relationship between an owner and pet can be; and she will always hold a special place in her heart for animals.
