Jeanine brings a lifelong love of dogs and deep respect for the working dog community to her role as Sporting & Working Dog Client Liaison at Red Sage Integrative Veterinary Practice. With a background in science communication and years of hands-on canine experience, she blends clarity, compassion, and practical insight to bridge the gap between veterinary expertise and real-world performance; supporting dogs not just through injury, but across a strong, sustainable working life.

Outside the clinic, Jeanine trains her own search-and-rescue dog, Ripp, and volunteers with Larimer County Search and Rescue, Diamond Peaks Ski Patrol, and the FEMA Colorado Task Force 1 as a canine search specialist. She finds deep meaning in the partnership, trust, and discipline that working dogs demand, and equal joy in the quiet trail days that simply celebrate being outdoors together. When she's not working or volunteering, she's in the mountains with her dogs. She brings that same grounded perspective to every client relationship she builds at Red Sage.
 

Jeanine especially connects with handlers and owners who see their dogs not just as athletes or workers, but as true partners, and she considers it a privilege to support both ends of the leash.
