Dr. Hehn – our fearless Medical Director – leads with strength, wisdom, accountability, and heart.
Dr. Henry – always willing to mentor, help, and jump in wherever needed – is the true definition of a team player and a gift to staff and clients alike.
Dr. Katzer – our brilliant new graduate – brings fresh passion, new ideas, and a bright future to our team.
Dr. Robarge – our complicated medical case magnet – tackles even the trickiest patients with incredible skill, determination, and compassion.

Tallula and Oppie, reporting for their daily selfie in Catmosphere! Oppie always enjoys his stays at our feline-exclusive hotel, and our team always makes sure he feels right at home with plenty of TLC.

Theo has been in to see us quite a bit lately for technician appointments, and we have to admit… we’re not mad about it.

This sweet boy has completely stolen our hearts and he hands out kisses like candy. When he’s here, it’s not unusual for him to get swept to the back for some bonus snuggles and love from the team—because honestly, who could resist?

This weekend, our technicians Mel and Percy volunteered their time and talents with the incredible team at Street Dog Coalition at the Springs Rescue Mission!

With hearts full of compassion and pockets full of treats, they helped provide veterinary care to the beloved pets of our unhoused community members.

We’re so proud of our team for stepping up and giving back—thank you, Mel and Percy, for bringing your skills and your spirit to the streets of Colorado Springs!

Happy 1-Year Work-iversary, Percy!

Today we’re celebrating one whole year of having Percy on the Fox Run Vet Hospital team — and what a year it’s been!

From day one, Percy has shown up with heart, hustle, and a true team-first mindset. Whether it’s picking up the phone (no matter what his role!), supporting doctors, or stepping in without hesitation to help patients, clients, or coworkers — Percy is always on it.

He’s grown so much in the veterinary industry in just a year and continues to impress us with his attention to detail, patience in training new team members, and ability to see the big picture of what needs to be done. He never hesitates to teach — even the basics — and does it with kindness, respect, and a genuine desire to see his team succeed.

Percy, your calm presence, dedication, and steady support are a gift to this team, and we’re so grateful for everything you bring to Fox Run. We can’t wait to see what the next year holds for you!

🎉 Happy 2-Year Work-aversary, Kris! 🎉

Kris is truly our “can do it all” person at Fox Run Vet! As our Catmosphere Cat Hotel Manager, he ensures our feline guests are comfortable and well cared for. As Lead CSR, he keeps the front desk running smoothly, helping train the team and providing top-notch client support. And as Facilities Manager, he’s the guy we all count on to fix things around the hospital—literally and figuratively!

Kris brings a humble, patient, and calming presence to our team, clients, and patients. He’s our resident cat whisperer, always the first to step in with anxious, stressed, or fractious cats. His dedication and steady leadership make a huge impact every day, and we are so grateful to have him on our team.

Join us in celebrating two amazing years with Kris at Fox Run! 🐾✨

We believe in keeping our patients cozy and comfortable—even if that means they end up zipped inside our team’s jackets while waiting for their turn at the ultrasound! Snuggles are just part of the job.

As we wrap up Dental Month, we wanted to highlight one of our favorite tools for post-extraction healing—therapeutic laser therapy! Burke had four extractions due to feline resorptive disease, and his laser treatment is helping him heal faster by reducing inflammation, pain, and promoting tissue repair.

Of course, safety first! When working near the face, we always protect our patients’ eyes with stylish goggles—Burke is totally pulling off the look, don’t you think? 🖤✨

Happy 3 Year Fox Run Vet Hospital Anniversary, Lauryn!

Lauryn, your dedication to Fox Run and your constant drive to improve are truly inspiring. You always go above and beyond for your patients and team, ensuring our days run smoothly. Whether it’s giving Kris time off in on the weekends or assisting in areas outside your daily role, you never hesitate to lend a hand. Your eagerness to help and grow is invaluable.

Your resilience, kindness, sense of humor, and passion for patient care set you apart. You’re admired by new employees for your skills in training and by the whole team for your ability to listen well. We are incredibly fortunate to have you on our team. You are an asset to Fox Run, and we look forward to many more moments of excellence with you and to watching you grow as you go through veterinary technician school!

WELCOME JOEY!


Joey joined the Fox Run Veterinary Hospital team in March 2025, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep passion for veterinary medicine. His journey in the field began in 2021 when he started as a kennel technician. This role sparked his interest in veterinary care, leading him to pursue a veterinary technology degree at Fox College in Illinois while also taking veterinary school prerequisites at the College of DuPage. Following his move to Colorado, Joey transferred his studies to Penn Foster, where he continues to pursue his degree online.

With a diverse background working in both general practice and emergency veterinary hospitals in Illinois and Florida, Joey is eager to contribute his knowledge and expertise to the Fox Run team. He is certified in Fear Free practices and holds additional certifications in animal behavior, both of which enable him to provide compassionate and effective care to every patient. Joey’s long-term goal is to attend veterinary school and specialize in exotic animal medicine. He is particularly drawn to solving complex medical cases and enjoys the challenge of problem-solving in the veterinary field.

Outside of work, Joey enjoys hiking, listening to music, visiting nature centers, skateboarding, and spending time with his pets. He has a Border Collie-Papillon mix named Cookie, who he enjoys taking on adventures. A quote that resonates with Joey and guides his personal and professional life is, “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value,” by Albert Einstein.

Joey is thrilled to be a part of the Fox Run Veterinary Hospital team and looks forward to continuing to grow in his career while providing high-quality, compassionate care to animals in our community.

Five years ago today, a brave 12-year-old shadowed me for the first time. Who knew that one question—asking if she could watch her dog’s toe amputation—would lead to five years of dedication, growth, and an unshakable bond?

Since that day, she has been there for every step of the journey. She volunteered for hundreds of hours as we opened Fox Run Vet Hospital in the middle of a global pandemic. At 14, she officially became part of the team, earning her first paycheck and W2. She set her sights on becoming a veterinary technician and has tackled every challenge along the way: her first blood draw, caring for sick patients overnight (including her own dog), running the front desk, assisting in surgery, and even handling after-hours emergencies—including helping to unblock my cat.

She’s always the first to step up—whether it’s staff outings, retreats, yoga, hikes, pancake parties (where she’s always ready to cook), or learning new skills to support our hospital. She graduated high school, turned 18, and finally got her own dosimeter badge to help in radiology. Now, she is the heart of Fox Run Veterinary Hospital.

I can’t imagine it without her. Here’s to everything she’s accomplished—and all that’s still to come!

Their strength, knowledge, and kindness make a difference in the lives of animals and their families every day. We are so grateful for their passion and commitment!

Join us in honoring the amazing women in veterinary medicine today and always. 💜🐾
