About Dr. Josy
Dr. Josy is a proud native of the picturesque island of Puerto Rico. Her journey began with a quest for knowledge, leading her to the corridors of UMASS in Amherst, MA, where she started pursuing a passion for veterinary medicine.
2001, she proudly attained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ross University.
Subsequently, Dr. Josy embarked on a new chapter in Colorado, where she nestled her roots in the quaint town of Bailey. A decade in suburban life passed, yet the call of the mountains remained strong.
Returning to Bailey, she realized her heart truly belonged amidst the rugged peaks.
Driven by a profound desire to contribute to Park County, Dr. Josy wants to dedicate herself to the well-being of its cherished pets, whether in the comfort of their homes or her own.
Her household is bustling with life, comprising her beloved daughter, three rescued St. Bernards, and a cherished indoor kitty.
When not immersed in the noble vocation of saving lives, Dr. Josy finds joy in DIY projects at home, nurturing dreams of thrilling outdoor adventures like camping, ATV rides, and hiking.
She eagerly looks forward to becoming an integral part of your family, extending her passion and expertise to ensure the happiness and health of your beloved pets.
