Merle Radney – Customer Relations

Merle is a 13 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix that was born in Carrington, ND. Dr. Radney docked her tail at 3 days of age and thus began a long-term relationship with veterinary medicine. Merle easily mastered basic skills like housebreaking and obedience, moving on to the more complicated “sit in the truck for hours at the dairy farm while her owner is treating cows and not bark at anything” and “stay in the office with the door open and not come out even when bribed” skills that have made her a valuable asset to her owner.

She is an AKC Canine Good Citizen; has worked as an Angel Dog at Madonna Rehab in Lincoln; and has been to countless school and 4-H demonstrations. Currently she is a full time employee at VetCare – let her take you on the clinic tour!!

Lori is responsible for numerous patient care duties including surgical anesthesia, radiology and laboratory analysis and has a special interest in behavioral and training issues.
