About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most of East El Paso was still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the animal hospital with an unusual package. The receptionist's eyes widened as she unwrapped it—inside was a tiny kitten wrapped in a newspaper, but not just any newspaper. The paper had an old obituary section, and as the receptionist flipped through it, she giggled—it was an ad for ‘El Chupacabra’s Petting Zoo’ from ten years ago. Turns out, someone had accidentally delivered yesterday’s funny papers instead of today’s medicine. Everyone got a good laugh, and the little kitten turned out to be a neighborhood stray who found a new home that day.

2. At dawn one morning, when most of East El Paso was still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the animal hospital's loading dock. To his surprise, among the usual boxes and bags, he found an old, dusty kennel tag with a handwritten note that read: ‘Please return to Mrs. Rodriguez, address unknown.’ Curious, the delivery guy took the tag inside. In the empty hallway, he heard a soft whimper coming from behind a closed door. Opening it slowly, he saw a tiny puppy peering back at him, its eyes wide with fear. 'Oh no,' he thought, 'looks like someone forgot their little friend here.' Turns out, Mrs. Rodriguez had indeed left her new pup overnight, but luckily, everyone got reunited before anyone even noticed.

3. At midnight, when even the nocturnal animals were nestled in their beds, a delivery driver pulled up to the East El Paso Animal Hospital with an urgent package. The moonlight reflected eerily off the hospital’s sign as he stepped out, clipboard in hand, wondering what unusual creature could possibly require such late-night attention. As he approached the door, he heard a faint meowing sound coming from inside. Curious, he opened it just a crack—and found himself face-to-face with a tiny kitten wearing a little red bowtie. ‘Whoops,’ said the vet, rubbing sleepy eyes. ‘Looks like someone forgot to bring Fido home tonight.’

4. At dusk, when the streets of East El Paso quietened down, a delivery driver pulled up outside the animal hospital with an unusual package. The box was heavy and wrapped in mysterious tape. As he approached the door, a friendly neighbor asked if everything was alright. With a nervous laugh, the driver replied, 'Just some special order for the vet—nothing to worry about!' Little did they know that inside was a crate full of giggling penguins on their way to a surprise party.
