Davene Keating
Director & Dog Lover
Growing up in Geneva Ohio, Davene filled her parent's home with dogs and cats that needed a home. You could say she was born to do the job she is now doing with Happy Endings. Lucky for us, Davene moved to Waco in 1980. Her first rescue in Waco involved a stray kitten who had been hit by a car. Davene rushed the kitten to a local veterinary clinic where she volunteered her time to pay for the expenses. It was then she knew she had found her calling and passion in life, and the vet knew he had found the perfect technician. She continued working for the clinic for the next 20 years. But her real passion was in the "rescuing." So in 2006, Davene settled in at Happy Endings Dog Rescue to fulfill her life's calling. Her experience as a veterinary technician gives her the know-how and ability to answer just about any question you may have about your pet's health. Davene resides in West, Texas with her two children and spends some much needed time at the end of the day with her own critters.

Alisha didn't spend time pondering what she would do in life. She knew from the start. From the age of 14, she volunteered her time at a kennel. Her love of dogs and cats grew as she continued to work her way up to veterinary technician. Ambitious and dedicated to the profession, she received her A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology in 2004 and now is happy giving loving care to the rescued dogs at Happy Endings. Alisha's spare time is spent with her husband and children and her own canine and feline friends.
