About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Idaho Humane Society Veterinary, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that today’s special is purrfectly good behavior for all dogs visiting our clinic.’ A regular heard it once and thought aloud, ‘I wonder if they give discounts for patients who come in already neutered?’ One day, a delivery driver asked jokingly, ‘Do you charge extra for animals with attitude?’ The vet replied, ‘No sir, but we do offer a free massage for well-behaved pets!’ Everyone laughed, and the regular quipped, ‘Maybe I should bring my neighbors here—maybe they’ll get better service than their dogs!’

2. At Idaho Humane Society Veterinary, every afternoon around 3 PM, the reception desk starts humming like a beehive. No one knows why—it’s not on any schedule and no staff member can explain it. One day, an excited delivery driver rushed in, asking frantically if anyone heard the buzzing. Turns out, he had left his phone playing 'bee sounds' app while waiting for his package. Since then, whenever someone mentions the mysterious hum, everyone just smiles and jokes that maybe it’s Idaho’s own version of ‘bee therapy’.

3. At Idaho Humane Society Veterinary, every night after closing, someone whispers the names of animals into the empty kennels. One night, a delivery driver hears the whispers and asks, ‘Who’s there?’ A tiny voice replies, ‘Just saying goodnight to all our furry friends.’ Turns out it was only the janitor, humming an old lullaby.

4. At Idaho Humane Society Veterinary, every day at exactly noon, the receptionist’s computer screen suddenly lights up with a random photo from the internet—always something completely unrelated to animals or medicine. One day, a delivery driver walked in confused, asking if anyone had seen his package. The receptionist calmly pointed to her screen showing a picture of an astronaut floating in space. ‘That must be it,’ he sighed, leaving everyone laughing. Another time, a neighbor came in complaining about their noisy dog. She clicked on another image—a man playing piano underwater—and said, ‘Try this for calming your pooch!’
