Dr. Shufflebarger, DVM

Medical Director

From an early age, Dr. Shufflebarger knew that her love of animals would lead her to a career in veterinary medicine.  She grew up with dogs, and fostered many cats and kittens throughout veterinary school.  Despite being allergic to most animals, she was determined to pursue her dream.

Dr. Shufflebarger received her bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Colorado in Boulder, graduating Phi Beta Kappa.  She received her doctorate of veterinary medicine in 2008 from Colorado State University, where she was a member of Phi Zeta Honor Society.  She practiced in Colorado Springs for six years, but was excited to return to Fort Collins, where she grew up. 

She enjoys all aspects of general practice, especially internal medicine, preventative wellness care, soft tissue surgery, and end-of-life issues.  She lives with her husband Jason, children Emery and Landon, cat Geek, and a German Shorthaired Pointer mix named Peyton (named after Manning of course).  She enjoys hiking, biking, tennis, and snowboarding

Dr. Albino, DVM

Dr. Albino is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and completed both her undergraduate and veterinary degrees at Ohio State University (go Buckeyes!). After graduating from veterinary school in 2019, she moved to Colorado for a year-long internship at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital in Denver. Dr. Albino then joined the Front Range Veterinary team in 2020 and has loved working with the pets and pet parents of northern Colorado ever since!

She currently lives in Fort Collins with her husband, Kyle, who works at the CSU veterinary teaching hospital. They have a tripod Husky named Junior, a black lab mix named Obie, and two cats – Perry and Stinky.

She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, but special interests include feline medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, and dentistry. Her hobbies outside of veterinary medicine include working out at Orangetheory, skiing, hiking, and playing the violin in a local nonprofessional orchestra.

Dr. Joya, DVM

Dr. Joya was born and raised in Colorado Springs. She attended CSU where she completed her undergraduate degree in Equine Science in 2008, and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2017. She started out practicing in southern Wyoming working in a mixed animal practice on cows, horses, dogs, and cats. She moved back to Colorado to be closer to her family and has been focusing on small animal medicine since then. Her main veterinary interests include pain management, palliative care, and diagnostic imaging.

Most of her free time is spent exploring the outdoors and spending time with her menagerie of animals including her dogs (Homer, Angler, Gordita, and Chalupa), cat (Winston) and horse (Nugget). She also sings with the Rocky Mountain Chamber Singers and in her downtime can be found reading or doing a puzzle.
