Veterinary Assistants

Marty Lee
Marty Lee
Veterinary Assistants
Since June 2011

“My life has been totally about working with animals which have allowed me to have great pet industry jobs. I started training dogs at the age of 8. This helped me manage a major dog kennel that proved interest in sales of pet supplies. These jobs allowed me to travel the country. As life throws curveballs, I got married and had 2 amazing children. I have enjoyed coming off the sales road and now enjoy working at RRAH. I also returned to dog training.

Boomer is a Golden Retriever. He is trained in tricks, tracking, triball, obedience, and confirmation. He is my demo dog for training classes. He knows how to make you laugh. He also helps my mother with jobs around the house. He and I love to try new things in dog sports. We also have 3 other goldens that share the farm.”

Marty Lee
Veronica
Veterinary Assistants
Since September 2013

“When she is not being a Veterinary Assistant, Vern loves taking naps and putting her studio art degree to use by drawing cats. Her favorite vegetable is pizza, her favorite book is Return of the King, and her favorite Dio song is Rainbow in the Dark. She is constantly defending her heavyweight high-five champion belt and her right to have dessert before dinner.

Pocket is an 80-pound shepherd mix who is afraid of her own shadow, and Belmont is the mean cat we don’t talk about. Fortunately, they all DO get along.”

Mark Stephenson

Maintenance Technician
Since April 1999

“I am a hard, dependable worker, and I am easygoing. I like working with others. I have been married for over nine years to the most beautiful woman in the world, Kelly. I enjoy working with wood, cutting grass, playing Wii games, and going to church in my spare time.

We have a black cat named Thor. He is a little over a year old and likes keeping us on our toes.”

Meredith
Meredith

Feline Staff
1999-2019

In 2019, Meredith crossed the rainbow bridge. Our staff and clients deeply miss her. Princess Meredith will always hold a special place in our hearts.

“The first owner of RRAH, Dr. Tom Young, was going to give me to his niece. However, when Dr. Young brought me to the hospital, he realized I got such style and grace to the practice. I just had to stay. I can be seen grooming myself when I’m not greeting clients. My job here is to keep everyone in line and to add beauty and class to the environment. My hobbies include napping, posing, being petted, being adored, and looking at Joey with disdain. One day I hope to take over the practice.

I have several human pets that I have trained to meet my every need.”

Joey
Joey (Derp)

Feline Staff
Since 2012

“Dr. Roger adopted me as a kitten from a client, and I came to live at RRAH. I am a lovely and affectionate boy. I have successfully kicked the habit of peeing outside my litter box. My job is to bring joy to all my coworkers (except Meredith). I remind the humans to play, cuddle, and laugh. My hobbies include supervising dental and ultrasound procedures, stealing tape, and inventing toys from everyday objects. One day I hope to catch my tail.

I have a pet bird that chirps when I play with him. Meredith says he’s not a real bird, but I don’t believe her.”

In Loving Memory

Our RRAH family has torn apart with bad news in early 2017. We lost one of our valued employees, Kellie.

Everyone knew Kellie with a massive smile on her face and a big hug waiting for whoever needed it. She cared for patients as if they were her own and genuinely held our work family together. We are all deeply heartbroken and will cherish her forever.
