Dr. Blaha is originally from Odessa, NY. Her connection with animals started early on, as her parents owned and operated a successful Dairy Farm for over 30 years. Dr. Blaha graduated from Cornell University in 2009. She worked at a general practice in Syracuse NY for a year prior to moving to Seattle, WA where she worked at a 24 hour emergency practice. In 2012 she moved home and shortly thereafter purchased Agape Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Blaha enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, but has special interests in preventative health care, nutrition, alternative medicine and surgery.

Dr. Holder is originally from Elmira. She started working as a kennel volunteer at the age of 12. She graduated from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007 and has been working as a small animal veterinarian in the area since graduation.

Dr. Rose Alaimo is a 2003 graduate of the philosophy and biology programs at King's College, PA, and of the Veterinary College at Cornell University, class of 2009. In 2014 she also completed an advanced certification in Veterinary Acupuncture from the Chi Institute in FL. Her professional interests include surgery and feline medicine, and in her spare time she enjoys writing/recording music, yoga, hiking, soccer, travel, gardening, reading and spending time with her kitty, Maid Marion.

I have had the pleasure of working at Agape since 2003. While most of my time is spent doing the bookkeeping, I occasionally help out front, which is the most enjoyable part of my job because I get to meet the clients and their pets. When I'm not at work I spend my time with my son Ryan. I also have a cat and a dog, Ruby and Annie. Interesting Fact: I lived in France for 2 months and don't speak any French, it was quite an experience!

I have worked at Agape since 2003. I worked as a vet assistant for 10 years and now I focus on all of the ordering and inventory throughout the clinic. I have two very spoiled rotten dogs Lola and Luci. My spare time is spent with my husband and children, usually traveling for softball.

I became part of the Agape team in 2016 as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, all the way from Canada! I graduated with a BSc from Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS, but discovered I had a passion for the veterinary field and loved the diverse hands on skills required to be a Vet Tech. I completed my Associates Degree in Applied Animal Sciences at Cedar Valley College in 2016 while learning in a clinic setting.
