Teresa Jennings
RVT, Hospital Administrator
Teresa was born and raised in rural NE Iowa. Her family had a farm with plenty of cats, dogs, goats, and horses that we enjoyed trail riding on weekends. Her childhood on the farm nurtured her love for animals. She joined the US Army at 17 years old and spent the next 8.5 years serving our country. The Army eventually landed her in Kansas City, where she met her husband. Upon completing her Army contract, she decided to pursue her dream of a career in animal medicine. She received her Registered Veterinary Technician credentials in 2013. Teresa founded a cat rescue in 2020 that remains her full-time passion, but in her free time, she loves training for half marathons and spending time with her husband and two boys. They enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, gardening, and riding 4-wheelers.

Kortney Withrow
Groomer
Bio Coming Soon
Tara Richardson
Tara Richardson is our Groomer here at Allee Veterinary Services. She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the area. Tara grew up immersed in the world of dogs. Her education began as a toddler, her mother was one of the leading pet groomers in the St. Louis area and she brought Tara to work with her. Learning all she could, Tara eventually began to work at her mom’s after school where she gained firsthand knowledge in the importance of structurally sound dogs. It became evident to her that the quality of life for soundly bred dogs was much better than the life of dogs from less sound lines. This knowledge sparked a desire in Tara to focus her future efforts, whether in the ring or the whelping pen, on healthy, beautiful dogs with sound temperaments.
When just fourteen she began to work for respected all-breed handler, Sharon Svoboda, who trained Tara in the sport of showing dogs. This training helped Tara become one of the first ever AKC registered apprentices. While she worked for Sharon she also competed in Jr. Showmanship, winning multiple scholarships and other high honors. For several years she was a top ranked Junior Handler with accomplishments that included qualifying and exhibiting at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
After ten years of working alongside Sharon, it was time to begin her own career as a professional handler. Her career as a handler includes campaigning multiple top dogs, best in shows, and Westminster kennel club breed winners. Now, she will be going back to her roots and pet grooming full time.
Kylynn Mallen
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Student
Kylynn grew up on a third generation, diversified row crop farm, and cow-calf operation in Cameron, MO. She graduated in 2022 from Kansas State University with her Bachelor’s in Animal Sciences and Industry. Kylynn stayed at KSU, where she is a current third-year veterinary student at the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Kylynn has a special interest in large animal medicine, especially equine. When she is not studying, Kylynn enjoys horseback riding, helping on the family farm, and spending time with her Corgi, Spur.
