Welcome!
~A little bit about myself and Barks & Brays~
Having lived in the small town of Alexandria Indiana for over 30 years, my husband Christopher and I raised our family on a small backyard mini-farm full of animals, laughter, and love. Spending time outdoors taking care of our dogs, cats, horses, llamas, goats, chickens, emus, and miniature donkeys is something I enjoy immensely!
​
I have been in the veterinary profession for over 25 years. I have the experience and desire to help animals and to set you-their owner- mind at ease. My day job as a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) at a local small animal hospital has allowed me to help so many pets and owners in a hospital setting--while thru Barks & Brays I am able to offer pet services in the comfort of your home. Not only can this be more convenient for you, but also less stressful for pets!
I am Fear Free Elite certified-which means I have over 35 additional hours of training to recognize and reduce pet fear, anxiety, and stress during the services I provide.
​
For over 10 years, I have been blessed to be able to offer mini-donkey and mini-horse event services to our community. The mini-donkeys and mini-horse have impeccable manners and are always a big hit--causing smiles, laughter & stories to share for years to come. We are excited to be able to offer Beverage Burro & Party Horse services so others can enjoy these magnificent creatures.
​
Please feel free to contact me with any questions--and I look forward to meeting you!

Alexis L. Bassett, RVT
