About – Our Team

Dr. Kreutzer was born and raised in Colorado. As a young girl, she always loved animals and generally had a menagerie of animals at home. She grew up riding horses and was a dedicated member of the Westernaires precision drill horse riding organization throughout her childhood. Kristy was the first member of her extended family to go to college, and she was drawn to the medical field. Early in college, she owned a puppy that ended up having a developmental malformation and unfortunately had to be euthanized. It was this challenging event in her life that caused her to realize her calling was in veterinary medicine.

Colleen have always had a love for animals and a strong desire to work with them.  Her first job out of high school was for a nature center in which she cared for permanently injured wildlife. Then had an amazing 15-year career as an Animal Control Officer. After taking time off to raise her children she wanted to get back to work in the animal field. So she sent herself back to college! Colleen received her Veterinary Assistant certification from Community College of Denver in December 2015. Colleen has been working on a part-time basis and love the challenges and variety of caring for companion animals.  She is grateful to be a part of an incredible team at Sunshine Animal Hospital where we treat and care for pets as if they were our own!  Colleen shares a home with three children, two dogs, one cat, and her son’s leopard geckos.  She is an avid falconer and enjoy hiking, skiing and bird watching.

Chrissy has been working as a technician in the veterinary field for 12 years.  Chrissy likes managing surgical patients and she is also great at managing inventory. In her free time she likes working on cars and loves music and going to concerts.  She is a big fan of Jeeps and likes to take them off roading. Chrissy is a big fan of the Parson’s Russel Terriers (formerly known as Jack Russel Terrier) and has a rambunctious Parson’s Russel Terrier puppy named Petey who keeps her very busy. She also has two birds and two cats at home.
