Sharon Molton D.V.M.

Practice Owner

I love being able to provide compassionate, individualized care to my patients. I feel that I am making a difference in the lives of my pet patients and their human families as well.

I always knew that I wanted to become a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. I am a Tri-Cities native and spent my childhood growing up with cats, dogs, ducks, a variety of pocket pets, and horses. I was heavily involved in 4-H and Pony Club and started working at a local mixed animal veterinary clinic as soon as I was able to drive.

Upon graduation from veterinary school, I decided to spread my wings and spent the first 11 years of my career practicing small animal medicine in Western Washington. I grew weary of the traffic and gray skies, and in 2011 moved back home. After all, my family has deep roots in this community and they have lived here for over 40 years!

I love all animals and have quite a menagerie of my own! Blaze, a miniature Australian Shepherd, Fury, a long-haired cat, Smokey, a Paint horse, a cockatiel named Magoo, an Appaloosa llama named Lola, three alpacas Colada, Lee, and Olive; a Nigerian Dwarf goat named Aami, two ducks Hoover and Dyson, and last but not least five chickens Daisy, Gaga, Buttercup, Stripe, and Dot.

I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members and promise to give them the most compassionate, individualized, and quality care!

Kaela

Office Manager

My name is Kaela and I am still fairly new to working in the veterinary field. I do however have over 5 years of Human Resources experience while Active Duty in the United States Army and 1 year while in the Army Reserves, along with over 9 years of Customer Service experience. I joined the staff of Sunrise Veterinary Clinic about a year ago and have been so grateful to be a part of this wonderful team!

I have always had so much love for animals, and I appreciate getting to learn more about them every day. I have two dogs named WiggleButt and Loki.

I currently hold two Associate’s degrees from Columbia Basin College, one in General Studies and one in Business, and am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, hiking, reading, painting, and playing video games.

I am so excited to meet you and your fur babies!

Tobey

Customer Service Representative

My name is Tobey, and I am your customer service representative. I have worked in customer service for over 25 years, and I have a strong passion to interact and connect with people and their pets.

After growing up in the Tri-City area, I decided to stay and raise my own family here. When I was younger, I was involved in 4-H and showed pigs, lambs, and a cat (yes, a cat, and he won grand champion!).

When I am not working, I enjoy time outside with my pups, either gardening or just hanging out. My family and I love our time on the water, either fishing, tubing, or just coasting slowly down the river.

In my time at Sunrise, I have met some amazing people along with their fur babies. It’s been such a rewarding experience and I look forward to meeting many more!

Brooklon

Licensed Veterinary Technician

Hi, my name is Brooklon, and I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I went to the Veterinary Technology program at Yakima Valley College and graduated in 2022. I have lived on a dairy my whole life with lots of different animals, and I always enjoyed working with them. I had many pets growing up and showed dairy heifers and beef steers through 4-H and FFA for years. I knew I wanted a job working with animals that would be fun and interesting each day. Right now, I have a yellow labrador retriever named Sadie, and my fiance has a golden retriever named Koda. I look forward to meeting you all and helping with all of your pets here at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic!
