Our Team

Our caring and compassionate veterinary care team!

Lori Perrow, DVM, Medical Director

As of February 2021, Dr. Lori Perrow is our new medical director. She graduated from North Carolina Veterinary School in 1999 and practiced in North Carolina until moving to Colorado in 2013. Her husband is a physician assistant at a family practice, and they have a daughter who shares her mother’s passion for animals. Their family also has 5 dogs (yes five!) and 2 cats. Dr. Perrow enjoys biking, running, and knitting in her spare time.

Dr. Cam Mellin, DVM, Associate Veterinarian

A son of the Blue Ridge with a western kick, “Dr. Cam” is ecstatic to join the wonderful team at Columbine Animal Hospital.  Hailing from the commonwealth where he attended veterinary school at Virginia Tech, Dr. Cam maintains a passion for internal medicine, animal behavior, and the empowerment of senior pets through “proactive” care, nutrition, and the use of rehabilitative therapies designed to keep our animals sharp & agile well into their golden years.

Beyond the walls of Columbine, Dr. Cam can be found in the backcountry researching mountain lions in New Mexico, Jaguars in Arizona, or rehabilitating local wildlife here in Colorado. His wife Grace keeps their home warm and full of laughter, with the couple proud pet parents to a spunky hound Harper, a charismatic cat Poppi, and an oh-so-mischievous (and talkative!) African Grey Parrot; Zola.

When kicking back; Cam enjoys travels with his wife and their “zoo”, perfecting his short rib ragu recipe, cheering on Arsenal Football Club, and taking in the beauty of a Colorado sunrise with a hot cup of coffee and a good book on Western history.

Hayley Kendrick - Practice Manager

Hayley joined the Columbine team in February 2021. She has worked in the veterinary field since 2008 and has worked in many different areas of a vet hospital. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in communications and management from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2015. She grew up in Colorado and enjoys spending her time with her husband and daughter and their two dogs and being outdoors whether it’s fishing, camping, hiking, golfing, paddle boarding or riding her horse.

Taylor - Veterinary Technician

Taylor has been a veterinary technician since 2014 and she graduated from CSU with an animal science degree. She has 5 animals of her own, 3 dogs and 2 cats. She enjoys spending her time doing anything outdoorsy with her husband and son. 

Allie - Veterinary / Technician Assistant

Allie has been in the veterinary field for several years and enjoys every bit of it. She is a true animal lover with a huge personality. She’s very outdoorsy and enjoys spending time with her dog Rocky and riding her horse Mocha.

Kristina - CSR

One of the last few Colorado natives, Kristina has long been a part of the veterinary scene. After a brief detour at an eye doctor’s office, she returned to her love of four-legged, furry creatures by joining the team here at Columbine. An art graduate of Metro State University in Denver, Kristina has a passion for colors, pottery, and creating with her hands. She currently lives in Littleton where she enjoys time spent with her handsome husband and their four cats.
