Kennel & Maintenance

Tony Russell

Tony is a mechanical genius and an amazing employee who joined the Lakeside staff in 1988. We honestly could not operate without him. He is Mr. Fix-it Extraordinaire. In Tony’s words “This is the greatest staff I’ve ever worked with – the doctors and techs are amazing people.” I assure you, the feeling is mutual. When you see Tony, the first thing you’ll notice is that great big smile!

When not at work Tony enjoys music and playing guitar. For years, he was part of an alternative rock band called Electric Warbabyz that played locally. His stage name was T-Bone Russell. Lakeside employees were delighted one year when Tony persuaded his band to play at the company picnic.

He loves Milwaukee because of the variety of weather – “it surprises you every time”. Tony shares his home with his cat, Spiker and dog, Shadow.
