Marsi Arellano

Dr. Marsi Arellano is a staff veterinarian at DoveLewis, where she found the perfect blend of heart and opportunity. Drawn to Portland for a fresh start in a city that values connection and community, Marsi was immediately inspired by our nonprofit mission and its deep roots in serving both pets and people. She knew it was the kind of place where she could grow as a doctor while also being part of something bigger than herself.

Outside the hospital, Marsi is always chasing her next adventure—whether that’s traveling to new countries, collecting magnets and Funko Pops, or braving Halloween Horror Nights (she’s proudly spooky year-round). A musical theater enthusiast at heart, she loves belting show tunes at home with her dog, Dolly. When she’s not baking, golfing, or watching baseball, you might find her sketching, recording songs, or exploring astrology and tarot.
