About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the clinic’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious but cautious, he left it alone and went inside. Later that day, another employee found the package while taking out the trash. Thinking it was just someone’s lost lunchbox, she opened it—only to discover a note reading: ‘Dear PETS Clinic, please take good care of my furry friend until I can visit.’ Inside was a small teddy bear dressed as a poodle!’

2. One night, a concerned neighbor called the clinic, frantically asking if anyone had seen their missing cat. ‘We haven’t,’ said the receptionist calmly. ‘But I did notice that same cat hanging around our waiting room for the past hour.’ The vet looked at each other and shrugged. ‘Maybe he’s just really into purring therapy today,’ she suggested with a smile. The worried neighbor left, shaking her head but smiling too. A few days later, someone anonymously delivered a basket of fresh fish to the clinic—apparently from the grateful feline himself.

3. One foggy morning, as the vet techs were preparing for their day, they heard a soft whimpering sound coming from the storage room. Curious but cautious, they opened the door slowly—only to discover a tiny puppy with mismatched eyes, who seemed to be guarding an old envelope filled with strange symbols. Curiously, the little pup wouldn't leave the envelope alone. The vet techs decided to follow its lead and found an ancient-looking map leading to a hidden garden behind the clinic. Turned out, it was just a shortcut that a delivery driver had marked for his dog to find him quicker during foggy mornings. Everyone laughed, and now PETS Clinic has a new shortcut—and a famous resident named Spotty Eyes.

4. One evening, while closing up shop, the receptionist swore she saw a shadowy figure darting between the parked cars outside the P.E.T.S. Clinic. Curious, she peered out cautiously and thought she saw a small furry creature scurry into an alleyway. The next day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing ‘something strange’ too—turns out it was just their new mascot, a mischievous little terrier named Turbo. Now, everyone jokes that Turbo helps keep the clinic’s paws clean after hours.
