When she was only 6 years old, she decided she wanted to be a veterinarian someday. Every job she had along the way through high school and college was animal-related, from working in a local mixed animal practice, to pet sitting, cleaning horse stalls, being a zookeeper caring for orangutans and tigers, working with a horse vet in Arizona, and even learning to plow fields with horses. All of these experiences fueled her drive and helped her realize her dream of becoming a veterinarian. After high school, she attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, where she graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in animal science before obtaining her doctorate of veterinary medicine in 2007 from the Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nWhile in vet school, she met her husband, Jeff. After graduation, they settled in the Chicagoland area of northwest Indiana with their daughter, Kaitlyn, where they have lived until their recent move to Kansas City. Dr. Erin enjoys being with her family and spending time outdoors. Whether it\u2019s riding horses, camping, fishing, swimming, gardening, or playing with their dogs, Dr. Sako and her family love being outside!<\/p>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"category--content veterinary-staff fullwidth flex--column\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                <div class=\"vetcontainer fullwidth flex--row vert__padding--sm\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/392\/2021\/11\/amy-bond.png\" \/>\r\n                    <div>\r\n                        <h2 class=\"margin--none\">Amy<\/h2>\r\n                        <h3 class=\"margin--none\">Assistant Manager & Clinic Fan Girl<\/h3>\r\n                        <p>Amy is a native of the Kansas City area, attending high school in Weston, Mo.
