Michele Ansede - Hospital Manager

Michele's love for animals dates back to her early childhood where she grew up showing goats and  horses and eventually started exercising and training race horses and went on to become an English riding instructor.

She is a graduate of Centenary College of New Jersey where she majored in Equine Sciences.  While working with horses she joined a small animal practice where she began her career in veterinary business management.  Over a fourteen year period she has worked in several animal hospitals including specialty, emergency and equine practices. She and Dr. Frank were married in 1995 and began making plans to establish North Carolina as their home.  Dr. Frank had developed a love of the South and Michele had spent a good part of her childhood summers in the Beaufort area of North Carolina where she has family.

Her life's pursuit has always been the care of her family and the dogs, cats and horses which live in the sanctuary she has created.  The Ansede Animal Hospital represents a logical next step in the pursuit of her life's work.  It enables the education of clients so they can make educated choices about their pets healthcare, lengthening their pets' lives and further enhancing the human-animal bond.

  Carolyn has been a part of our hospital since 2006 and she has been instrumental in shaping our policies when it comes to patient care. Her dedication to compassionate pet care, exordinary client communication skills and overall hospital management makes her one of our proudest members of our hospital.

Chantel has been one of our newer members of our team. She has aspirations to become a veterinarian. Her contributions to our work for our patients has been invaluable.  An interesting background, Chantel worked for the Pentagon when 9/11 hit our country. Her sister was injured in that horrific event, but she has physically recovered.



Marvin is a shining example how someone who can enjoy his passion of caring for pets in a part time commitment. He is a full time security guard for Wake County, but during his down time he helps us when we need him. He was formerly the founder of Capital Rottweilers, Inc. a rescue organization dedicated to aiding Rottweilers and rehoming these dogs. He has been extremely helpful for us.


Hank is a student in North Caroline State and is studying to become a veterinarian. He enjoys a part time service where he can get hands on experiences of veterinary practice. He is applying to veterinary school in 2010.
