Lenzie Blackmon
Part-Time Receptionist
My name is Lenzie and I’ve lived in Abingdon, VA for the majority of my life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had pets and a strong love for animals. I have two cats, Stella and Mango, and a dog named Roscoe. I love them dearly and I believe that God gave us animals to show that unconditional love can be shared without saying a word. I applied to this job in late May of 2024 and became a member of the team in June. I am beyond blessed and thankful for all of the people I work with, even the office cats Tri-Cos and Pumpernickel. Our clients are just the best. They have encouraged me in my journey here and helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible.
I truly cannot say it enough. My team, our office manager, doctor, and clients have been beyond what I could imagine, and each day I am grateful to have them in my life. I love this job and everything that we stand for, which is taking care of you and your pets one day at a time with lots of love and care.

Carys was born and raised here, in Abingdon, Virginia. Her love for animals started when she got her first cat at only five years old! Since then, she has never stopped having a heart for animals. Carys spends her time with her family, at church, or with her French Bulldog, Oakley! Carys is a Bulldog mama through and through! She is dedicated to providing the best care for all animals that she works with.
“I am so thankful for the staff and overall experience at AAMC. I have enjoyed meeting new furry friends and getting to care for them. I am devoted to serving the Lord through providing comfort and care for these wonderful animals”. Love, Carys
Hannah Lester
Part Time Receptionist/Part Time Kennel Assistant
Hannah was born and raised in Bristol. “Although my profession for the last 8 years has been bakery-related and being a cake artist, ever since I was old enough to be asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer has always been a Vet. As I’ve gotten older marine life has become a huge fascination of mine! Being around all animals small, large, wild and aquatic makes me happy!”
Working with the dogs and cats in the kennels is a great first step on the journey to making working with animals a lifelong career fro Hannah! Supporting her on that journey is her mom, her fiance, and their 4 fur babies! “We have 2 dogs, a hyper and attitude-filled Australian shepherd Lola and our little loving Pomchi “Princess” Willow as well as 2 cats. A very talkative siamese, Bentley and our feisty Orange girl Autti.”
