Tara
Office Manager
Hi, my name is Tara! I was born and raised in New York, where I attended Culinary school and started my journey in the restaurant and bakery field. Shortly after graduation, I moved to Vermont and adopted my very first dog. This was a major turning point for me, leading me to leave the restaurant field and move into animal care. I started my career with animals in boarding and daycare and eventually decided to go back to school for grooming. I worked for many years in various salons doing all-breed grooming. While I loved grooming, I decided it was time to try something new, but I did not want to leave the animal field. This then lead me to my start in veterinary medicine! I started as a veterinary receptionist and have worked in this position for many years. It is the perfect job where I get to bond with pets and pet parents alike. I am happy to be expanding my knowledge in veterinary assistant work, and I love that I learn something new every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé Jordan and our three crazy pups! I love to hike, paddleboard, and enjoy the Colorado Scenery. I am happy to be a part of the Full Circle family and look forward to helping you and your pets.
Matt
Nurse
Hi, I am Matt. I have been working at Full Circle Veterinary Care since October 2022. My passion is the care for patients that see us here. I have an Animal Science B.S. degree from the University of California, Davis. I have worked with animals from as small as a mouse to as big as sheep. I began my career in 2019 as an animal technician in the animal biomedical research field. I transitioned to companion animals in February of 2022. I found it to be a much more rewarding experience when working closely with veterinarians, clients, and their pets. My goal is to help clients and their pets have a good experience when visiting the clinic. My future goal is to become a certified veterinarian technician.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son. I have been living in Colorado with my family since 2021. I enjoy visiting state parks and the Rocky Mountains. I am happy to be working with such an awesome team here at Full Circle Veterinary Care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.
Emily
Nurse
Emily Fosdick Early is a Veterinary Nurse/Dr. Early’s (favorite) daughter. She is a student at CSU who plans to major in Biochemistry before heading off to Law School. Outside of work, she enjoys snowboarding, wakeboarding, and playing with her golden retrievers, Ares and Percy.
Mayela
Nurse
Hello there! My name is Mayela. I am originally from Texas but moved here around 12 years ago. I grew up on a little farm with horses, llamas, cows, chickens, goats, and a miniature donkey! I have three fur babies at home named Luna, Winnie, and Daisy. I just graduated with a Bachelor’s in Zoology at CSU. I will be pursuing a Master’s in Biomedical Science in the fall, and I hope to one day pursue a career as a veterinarian. I’m so excited to meet you and your pets!
Kelsy
Nurse
Some of you may actually remember me from a few years ago. I started at Full Circle in 2015 and took some time off when I welcomed my son in 2021. After almost 2 years off, Dr. Early and the rest of the Full Circle staff have welcomed me back! I am so excited to see so many familiar faces, but to also meet all the new people and pets that have come along!
Torri
Nurse
Hi, my name is Torri. I started off as an assistant in 2016 and worked my way into the Veterinary Technician role. In 2023 I became a Registered Veterinary Technician. I have always been passionate about animals and they have always been a huge part of my life. I have several of my own animals including 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 horses, a bird, a turtle, chickens, and ducks.
In my spare time I enjoy horseback riding, crafting, camping and being with my husband and son.
Vanessa
Reception/ Nurse
Hello, my name is Vanessa. I am a Colorado Native, born in Fort Collins and raised in both Windsor and Greeley. I moved to Satsuma, FL, when I was 16 and again when I was 18. I moved back to Colorado in 2017. My first entry into the veterinary world was working with both Dr. Early and Dr. Dosch in the past. I absolutely fell in love with the environment. As a kid, I would constantly read or watch anything to gain knowledge of animals.
I have four dogs. First is Truffles and Harley. They have crazy personalities and adorable attitudes. Both are Chihuahuas. I also have two hyper, sweet Huskies named Ivy and Milo. I spoil them completely in any way I possibly can. In my free time, I watch anime, enjoy anything Marvel or DC, and play video games. My favorite superhero is Spider-Man, my favorite video game is Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Ball Z is my favorite anime.
Teressa
Reception/ Nurse
I was born into a military family and moved around a lot growing up. I knew I wanted to work with animals from a very young age. While in Alabama, I studied wildlife biology and worked at the state veterinary lab and the vet school as a necropsy technician. After graduation, I settled in Colorado and plan to eventually attend vet school. Until then, I am enjoying working in the familial atmosphere at Full Circle. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my two dogs, hanging out with friends, and exploring everything Colorado has to offer.

Dr. Merideth Early
DVM/Owner
I can proudly say that I am a Colorado and Weld County native. I was born in Greeley but grew up in Nunn, where I lived for my entire childhood. Growing up, my family enjoyed camping, rafting, and exploring all parts of Colorado. There is very little of the state I haven’t been to at least once. In 2013 my family and I moved to Johnstown, and it has been a wonderful decision.
As far as my journey to becoming a veterinarian, I was pretty certain I would be a doctor when I grew up, but I took some time off between high school and college. During that time, I started working in a vet clinic in Evans and discovered that I have a passion for veterinary medicine. I love that I can be doing surgery one day and the next seeing a myriad of pets, allowing me to learn something new almost every day. I’m a puzzle lover, and this career is a perfect fit for that passion as well.
Once I decided to be a vet, I returned to school and obtained my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. This re-awakened a passion I had as a child as well. I love using a microscope, and yep, I’ll say it, I love poop! It can tell us so much about what is going on with a pet. I also worked in an immunology lab which means I have a good understanding of vaccinations and immune responses.
I finished my schooling at CSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Science, obtaining my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2011. Since then, I have been practicing in Weld County, where I enjoy seeing people and pets I’ve known for a long time as well as many, many new faces. I achieved my long-time dream of owning my own clinic in October of 2023- celebrating my opening day on my birthday. Most important of all is that I love connecting with people and their pets. I believe in collaborative care and helping you find the care that works best for you and your furry family member’s needs.
Dr. Malinda Dosch
DVM
I have lived in Colorado since 1978 and was, before this, a resident of New Jersey. I graduated from veterinary school in 2003 from Colorado Status University. Prior to going back to school for an advanced degree, I was a medical transcriptionist for nearly ten years.
I have been practicing veterinary medicine in Weld County since I graduated. I was at All Pet Animal Clinic in Evans, CO, right out of school for about nine years. Then I moved to Pawz Veterinary Hospital in Firestone, CO, for about five years. Most recently, I was at Sheep Draw Veterinary Hospital for about four years. I have now moved to Full Circle Veterinary Care for a new adventure in small-town veterinary practice.
I see dogs and cats only, but I love all my patients—especially those smaller patients who need extra love. I am really enjoying my experience so far in Johnstown and love our clientele.
I have two grown children that live locally but don’t visit their mom often enough. I love living in Colorado, driving in snow and mud, and I am an avid reader. I have a huge library of already-read books in my house, as well as multiple stacks of books that I need to read. I have a collection of TY beanie babies. I am glad to be working in a small family clinic and would be happy to help you with any veterinary needs.
