About us

Dr. Andrea Harl began her life with a love for animals, growing up on an acreage with ducks, chickens, dogs, cats, and horses. When she was five years old, she realized their horse vet was a woman and knew that’s the path she wanted for her career. She originally considered becoming an equine vet and still loves horses, but currently sees only small animals. She’s a 2007 graduate of Oklahoma State College of Veterinary Medicine and has worked in several highly respected practices in the Tulsa area. She joined PAWS early in 2020 as a relief doctor, and everyone loved her so much we asked her to join our team!

Her favorite part about being a vet is helping owners become closer to their pets. Like all of us at PAWS, she loves cuddling new puppies and kitties.

Dr. Harl has an avid interest in preventive medicine and a healthy lifestyle, both for humans and animals. She’s a certified yoga instructor who loves hiking, travel, and rock concerts. She’s a devoted mom to two tweens, Aiden and Isabella. Her furry family includes a sixteen-year-old Lab named Phoebe, a sixteen-year-old cat named Eve, and a recent adoption–an orange tabby kitten named Phoenix.

Dr. Andrea Harl is a wonderful addition to our PAWS family and we can’t wait for you to meet her!

Shannon started working in Veterinary medicine in 1991 as a kennel tech and worked her way up to surgical and dental assisting. She has been part of the PAWS team since 2008 and took the role of Office Manager in November of 2013. Shannon loves the veterinary field and how medicine is always evolving. She learns something new every day.

Shannon has been married to the man of her dreams since 2008 and they have three children and four very energetic grandchildren. Her home would not be complete without her fur babies, Addie, (who can do no wrong), and Penny.

‘To be able to be there for a client that has to make life-altering decisions, or to help a patient that is in pain, is the reason I do what I do. There isn’t a person I work with that does not feel the same way. I truly am blessed with the best job in the world.’

Jesse grew up in Sand Springs with her dad, mom and brother. She began college wanting to major in early education. Then she started working as a kennel tech and soon found her true passion in life is working with animals. Jesse graduated from the veterinary technology program at TCC in 2013. She has been working as a registered veterinary technician since. She currently loves snuggling on the couch with her 3 dogs and Calico cat. She also loves being outdoors and spending time with her family.

We’re fortunate to have Alecia rejoin our team after a brief hiatus. She’s a 2012 graduate of the CCC Veterinary Assistant Program where she focused on laboratory work and educating clients about pet health. Being there for our patients and clients is a true joy for her, and what drives her to do her best. Alecia has been married to her amazing husband since 2012. They have 3 dogs: David, Darla, and Dilly; who are all rescue pups.

Caity grew up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and was raised around farm animals at a young age. She has had her own horses, cows, pigs, cats, and dogs that she cared for everyday. She knew early on that she wanted to be a part of a team that had a passion to care for animals the way SouthPark does. We love having her on our team, and we know you will love her too!

Dr. Mathews is a lifelong animal lover who believes our pets help us tap into the best part of ourselves—the place in our heart that creates unconditional love.

Her favorite part of owning PAWS is seeing its employees grow and discover their incredible potential. She is literally surrounded by compassionate, dedicated rockstars, and feels unbelievably blessed to be among them.

Dr. Mathews has three children, almost grown, and is delighted to have recently married her husband and best friend, Billy Stacey. They share a love for traveling, kayaking, nature walks, movies, and antique malls. Since Dr. Mathews took over, PAWS has undertaken numerous improvements designed to help clients and their furbabies enjoy a more relaxed, gentle, and less stressful visit. From monthly payment plans (ease of budgeting) to digital X-ray (fast and accurate) to newly-remodeled lobby and exam rooms (non-skid floor, couches in rooms, fold up exam tables), Dr. Mathews planned each move with patient and client comfort in mind. She’s always up for new ideas and loves to hear from clients.
