Aubrey Dixon

Animal Care Manager

Aubrey Dixon

Aubrey and Marcel started here in October 2022. Aubrey grew up in animal care and is a blessing to LCHS. Aubrey has a full-time veterinary job and still manages to take wonderful care of our animals here. She also takes the time to teach our staff the best ways to manage and care for our animals, in all the numerous situations they get into. Marcel works hard, earning his treats, anytime we have a new canine intake, helping test their social skills around other dogs. Along with Marcel, Aubrey has 9 dogs, 30 cats, and 3 potbelly pigs. As if she wasn’t busy enough with all of that, she also fosters on a regular basis. She is beyond dedicated to the health and well-being of ALL animals.

Jennifer Bixler

Shelter Manager

Jennifer Bixler

Jennifer joined LCHS in August of 2022, after serving 12 years in the SC Army National Guard. She spends her time off with her family, 4 LCHS alumni fur babies, and a few other fun pets including a ferret, hedgehog, and a few tarantulas. There’s an ongoing joke in her house, because she once made the comment that she didn’t want ANY pets. Now she spends every day with animals and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Jessica Long

Jessica is our newest member; she started in November 2025. Before Jessica started, she had previously helped with transporting animals for surgery and was already a previous adopter. Jessica has one kid in college, and one that just started driving, and was happy how the timing worked out for her to start working here. We aren’t so sure her husband is as thrilled since she adopted another pet within the first month!

Makya started in June 2022 and has been very reliable and consistent with the animals. She is also a great team player, willing to do anything asked of her.
