With her admirable desire to serve her community, she first worked as a waitress for 3 years, but always knew her passion was to work with animals.

She's been with Loving Care since the beginning and even played a hand at designing the clinic layout. Corissa loves having the privilege to improve the health of pets every day.

Auston has had a passion for animals since a young age. In fourth grade, she started a dog walking business in her neighborhood. Fast-forward to the year 2000 and that is when she started volunteering at her local Humane Society. She has been actively involved in the lives of shelter pets ever since by fostering, dog walking, and speaking at kids' camps. In 2005, Auston opened The Paw Place, a dog day care, training, and grooming facility. During her 18 years of ownership she provided above and beyond support to her clients, put safety over profits, and left a legacy of caring and compassion with "humanity over vanity" being one of her grooming slogans. From 2006 to 2017, Auston was a volunteer with West Michigan Therapy dogs. She visited many facilities with her dogs Molly and Tugboat, such as Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, MaryFree Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, and schools. From 2018 to 2021 Auston cared for wolf-dog hybrids at an animal sanctuary.
