About Us
Sheri Mounteer, MPT, CCRT, APT - Owner
My name is Sheri Mounteer. I grew up in Wyoming. I received my Masters in Physical Therapy degree in 1996 from the University of North Dakota. After 20+ years of practicing in a variety of settings including orthopedics, geriatric rehab, home health and upper level management, I transferred my knowledge and skill set to pursue my passion for dogs. In June 2019, I received my certification as a Canine Rehabilitation Therapist from the Canine Rehab Institute.
I am Fear Free Certified.
My hobbies include the outdoors – mountain biking, trail running, hiking, skiing and camping. I love to enjoy many of these things with my dog, Hannah. I am also an active volunteer with the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley.
Kirstin Cooper, MSPT, CCRT, APT - Staff PT
I am excited to be a part of Denver Dog Rehab & Wellness. I moved to Colorado with my family in the mid-90’s and never left. I graduated from Regis University with my Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy in 2001 and focused my career on geriatric rehab and home health. After 20+ years in the field, I did some soul
searching on next steps and decided to combine my passion for physical therapy with my passion for animals and received my certification as a Canine Rehabilitation Therapist from The Canine Rehabilitation Institute in March 2023. I am Fear Free Certified.
My home is considered a zoo with 3 children, 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, a bearded dragon, and my fellow zoo keeper, my husband. When I am not chauffeuring my children to their various activities, I enjoy hiking, paddleboarding, and enjoying the beauty of Colorado with my family. I
look forward to working with your beloved pet to help them live their best life!
Leanne Wagener, DVM, CVA, CCRT - Staff DVM/Acupuncturist
Leanne Wagener loves animals and is passionate about the positive benefits of the human-animal bond.
She enjoys being able to help pets, and their people, as a veterinarian and acupuncturist.
A few of Leanne’s favorite things are dogs, her husband and two young children, traveling, basically all
things outdoors and learning. She is originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania; but her love of learning and
travel brought her to Maryland for her undergraduate studies, St. Kitts in the Caribbean for vet school,
Louisiana for clinical rotations and China for her acupuncture training.
Ultimately, the mountains called and Leanne settled in Denver in 2016. She works in the Denver metro
area as a small animal veterinarian in general practice doing surgery, dentistry, urgent care, preventative
medicine, acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy.
She is excited to extend her acupuncture services to Denver Dog Rehab and do more of what she truly
loves – making dogs feel better!
