About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Crossroads Animal Hospital, a delivery driver once asked with a puzzled look: ‘Why does every box of cat food here seem to contain a tiny note?’ Upon opening one more box, he found a handwritten note that read: ‘Dear Delivery Driver, your cat misses you when you’re not home.’ From then on, everyone at Crossroads started leaving little messages like ‘Your dog dreams of walks,’ or ‘Your hamster needs more wheel time!’ It became a fun way for the vet staff to make their clients smile.

2. At Crossroads Animal Hospital, a delivery driver once noticed something odd in one of the hospital’s wheelbarrows: a tiny pair of old-fashioned spectacles, seemingly left behind by someone who’d forgotten them. Curious, he picked up the glasses and wiped away some dust. Suddenly, an elderly voice croaked from above: ‘Is that you, William? I thought I told you not to forget your specs!’ Turning around, they found themselves staring into the bemused face of a large stuffed bear sitting on a nearby shelf.

3. At Crossroads Animal Hospital, a sign above the reception desk read: 'If your pet is not here within five minutes, we'll send out a search party.' A nervous neighbor called late one night, saying he heard barking and howling coming from the hospital's parking lot. Inside, everyone was frantically searching for the source of the noise. It turned out that a regular had accidentally brought his dog in on a leash attached to his own belt loop. The poor pooch was trying desperately to get free while the staff tried even harder not to laugh.

4. At Crossroads Animal Hospital, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Do you really weigh every dog twice?’ The vet calmly replied, ‘Yes, we do.’ The curious delivery driver nodded, thinking it made sense until he saw the scale was for cats. Later that day, a neighbor joked, “Next time they’ll weigh him three times—once for the dog, then twice for the cat!”
