Hunter Butland, Technician
Coming from the countryside, Hunter has always been surrounded by animals, whether that be cows, horses, poultry, or goats. So, it was not surprise that animals became a major part of his life and made him want to get into a career such as veterinary medicine. Hunter took the Veterinary Technician program at Oulton College and joined the team right after his practicum in October 2024. In his free time, he likes to go on trail rides with the family horse Pascal across the marsh, and spend time with his 3 goats (Nevaeh, River & Percy)

She loves spending time with her 4 cats and her bird, as well as crocheting and spending time outdoors with dogs.
Ava Leblanc, assistant
Growing up on the Bouctouche Reserve, Ava always knew that she wanted to do something in the medical field, whether it be nursing, dentistry, or vet med. When given the opportunity to take the veterinary assistant course at Eastern College, she took it. During Ava’s internship, she fell completely in love with the profession she chose and was very honoured to join the Adeline team after her internship was finished.

Arlene Wilkinson, receptionist
Arlene started as a medical receptionist in the ophthalmology field. Upon moving back from the west coast, she landed a position with a veterinary hospital and decided that this career was made for her! In 2022, she moved to Moncton to be closer to family and started working with us at Adeline. Due to her husband allergies, her pets consist of a demanding Blue Jay who screams when the bird feeder is empty and 2 chipmunks that crawl under the siding of the house. Thanks to Tom, Jerry and all our cute patients, she still gets lots of cuddles and kisses during the day!
Tom, Trouble Maker
Tom, also known as Tom Tom is our full time trouble maker. You might not see him much when coming in, and that’s because he’s banned from going up front as he loves to get into dog food and toys. In his free time, he enjoys spending time napping, stealing treats and of course causing trouble!
Jerry, Clinic Greeter
Jerry, also known as Jerrito or big butt, is our real cuddle bug. He spends most of his time up front laying in the sun and greeting every single client that comes in. When he’s not up front, he’s out back running after his brother or asking for attention. He tends to get a bit upset when people don’t give him attention, so make sure to say hi before leaving!
