Receptionists

Susie Tomlinson, Business Manager

Paula McCoy, Receptionist

Paula, one of our front desk customer service representatives, became part of our team in March 2013. Organized and efficient are the top two characteristics that come to mind when thinking of her. When she isn’t at work, you can find her exploring the beauty of West Virginia whether by hiking, bicycling, or riding their motorcycle with her husband. Paula feels that the bond between pets and their owners is something to be treasured and often says the best part of her job is to see a pet reunite with their
family (even if it's only been a few hours). She feels that our clients are the very best around and that it is a privilege to be part of the team that takes care of their pets.

Emilee Vance, Receptionist

Emilee Vance is our small town girl, born and raised right here in Fairlea West Virginia. She joined our team in 2020, working full time while attending and finishing college, graduating Concord university with a degree in multi-categorical special education. Emilee has since followed her passion with a teaching career, but stayed on board as part of our weekend crew. Everyone enjoys working around Emilee with her loud, infectious laugh, calming nature, and her compassion, not only to animals, but to people as well. Emilee doesn't hesitate to jump in and lend a helping hand when necessary, which makes her a wonderful asset to Fairlea Animal Hospital. We are glad she decided to remain a part of Fairlea Animal Hospital while working full time with WV youth.

Melanie Tucker, Receptionist

Melanie Tucker rejoined our team in April of 2021. We previously had the pleasure of working with her bright and sunny demeanor, and were delighted to welcome her back. Truly a people person, she enjoys catching up with our clients and loves to meet your pets as well. She lives in Lewisburg with her husband, Nathaniel, and son Bryce.

Sarah Morrow, Receptionist

Sarah came to us from Alabama, joining our team in June of 2021. Sarah started with us part-time, filling in on the weekends as both a receptionist and with inventory, but has now joined the reception desk full time. We have come to know her for her dependability, positive attitude, and love of animals.

Shannon Elmore, Receptionist

Shannon joined our team in September of 2022. Her love of creatures great and small led to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. She lives in White Sulphur Springs with her husband, a senior wirehaired dachshund rescue named Bones and a senior Australian Cattle Dog named MawMaw.
