About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the hospital’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up and found a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Open only if you love animals.’ He carefully untied the string and opened the box. Inside was a tiny sleeping kitten, cuddled next to a handwritten sign that read: 'For the kindest vet clinic.' The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and whispered, 'Well, Newport Harbor, looks like you're getting another furry patient today!'
2. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked the receptionist, ‘Why do you always seem so busy around sunset?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Oh, that's when our secret midnight doggie disco starts!' The neighbor looked puzzled but shrugged it off, thinking maybe they were just a little too enthusiastic about their evening routines.
3. A concerned pet owner called one day: ‘I keep hearing strange noises coming from your clinic after hours—is everything okay?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, those are just our resident ghosts playing their nightly tunes!' The caller laughed and said she’d never heard anything quite like it before. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned odd sounds late at night, everyone in town would simply shrug and say, 'Probably just Newport’s famous haunted vet hospital again.'
4. Late one night, a tech inside the hospital heard an eerie howl coming from the back room. Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner—and found nothing more than a mischievous terrier patiently waiting for his bedtime treat. Just then, another tech walked in and asked if everything was okay. The little dog wagged its tail and innocently licked the first tech’s hand. Turns out, it was just a regular who’d forgotten their keys and had sneaked into the hospital to nap on the comfy beds—again.
