Tauni Morisett is a Registered Veterinary Technician who has been a member of the Hearthstone Animal Clinic staff since August of 2005, but began her career in companion animal care in 1996. In addition to her years of experience, she received an Associate's degree in Science from Tomball College in 2005 and is registered to practice in the state of Texas.
Tauni offers quite a bit of comic relief during our work day and says, “I like working here because we treat our clients like royalty when we first meet them and like family every day afterward. I also like being able to help sick babies get better and back into their loving owner’s arms.”
At home, Tauni has a Border Collie named Amiya, Papillion mix named Smudge, two cats named Tigger and Squirrel, and a gerbil named Joe-Joe. Her interests include keeping her 1977 Chevy Malibu Classic running.

When asked what she enjoys most about her time with Hearthstone, she says, “I love working here because of our wonderful veterinarian, Dr. Pelton, and my wonderful coworkers. Everyone here is very caring and are animal lovers.”
Roxanne’s pets include a Miniature Poodle named Oliver and an orange tabby cat named Darla. Her interests include being outside, playing tennis, swimming, cooking and baking, going to the movies, and visiting new places around Houston.
