I am an East Coast native who moved to Colorado in 2022 with my husband, who is on active duty in the Space Force. In my free time, you can find me in the mountains hiking and fishing with my husband and dogs or cuddled up inside working on quilts with a warm cup of coffee.
Gracie
I was brought to a rescue in Denver before being adopted and finding my “furever” home. I love being a part of the pack at work and bringing smiles to patients. You can find me on the trails on the weekends getting in miles or at the front of the kayak soaking up sunshine.
