Allicia Sand is no stranger to the world of veterinary medicine. Originally from Williamson, NY, Sand received her licensed veterinary technician (LVT) degree from SUNY Delhi in 2011. Sand comes to Maddie’s® Shelter Medicine Program (MSMP) with 15 years of LVT experience, both in small and large animal medicine, as well as expertise in working with emergency and critical care patients.
When asked why the transition to shelter medicine, Sand said she has always grown up fostering kittens and loves keeping busy. While she still plans to pick up additional LVT shifts at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA), to help all animals, both big and small, Sand is looking forward to working regular business hours with shelter medicine vs. overnight shifts, at the College of Veterinary Medicine and at the SPCA of Tompkins County.
She is most looking forward to attending community outreach wellness events/clinics, where she can interact with clients and facilitate access to care initiatives. Sand says she likes “doing the most with the least.” Helping pets and owners receive the care they need.
FUN FACTS:
- Allicia will be speaking at the 2026 NYS Veterinary Conference at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dates TBD.
- She has five cats, two dogs and four children.
Welcome to the ever-growing MSMP team, Allicia! 🙂
