Our People:

We are proud to be a strictly volunteer organization.

Karen McCormick Perry, DVM, Director


Karen has been a small animal veterinarian for 25 years. She currently owns Alpine Hospital for Animals in Boulder, CO, practicing traditional and alternative medicine. Karen, her husband and three wonderful teenage girls live in Longmont, CO with their two golden retrievers. Last fall Karen traveled with 6 other veterinarians as part of a VIDAS mission to Mexico, performing 470 spays and neuters in 6 days. She plans on doing this again because it was such a great experience.

Candy Sayles Brad, DVM, Founder


Candy lives in Boulder, CO with her husband, two cats and cockapoo, Zabu. After co-owning Alpine Hospital for Animals for 10 years, she recently sold her portion of the practice and currently practices traditional and alternative small animal medicine on a relief basis.
