About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the hospital gates. As he unloaded supplies, he noticed an eerie howling coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just the usual bustle of vets and nurses. Yet the howl persisted, growing louder with each passing minute. Finally, one of the nurses opened the door and yelled, ‘For crying out loud, it’s just our new patient—a talking wolfhound!’ The delivery driver looked around sheepishly and admitted, ‘I thought I was delivering groceries to a haunted vet clinic.’ Everyone laughed, and soon after, the neighborhood started calling him ‘the guy who delivered snacks to the talking dog’.
2. Late one night, as the moonlight reflected off the hospital’s windows, an unusual visitor approached the entrance. A neighborhood cat, famously known for its mischievous ways, had somehow managed to lock itself inside. The staff was puzzled but quickly found a way to calm and unlock the feline intruder. As the cat bounded out into the night, everyone laughed, realizing it was just another late-night adventure in Ambassador Long Beach Veterinary Hospital. The next morning, a neighbor brought over some fresh fish—apparently, that was the cat's favorite treat.
3. At closing time, the vet tech locked up and headed home. ‘See you tomorrow,’ she called out, not realizing that someone had overheard her from inside the empty building. Suddenly, a quiet voice echoed from the shadows: 'Excuse me, do you work here?' The vet tech jumped, nearly dropping her keys. Turned out it was just an anxious-looking neighbor who’d heard strange noises coming from the hospital after hours.
4. One day, after hours, the receptionist heard a soft whimpering sound coming from the hallway. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw a tiny kitten peeking out from behind the nurse's station. The kitten was so small it could fit in the palm of her hand. She picked it up gently, and as she did, another soft voice whispered, 'Is that my lunch?' Turns out, an overeager beagle had been napping on top of a bag of dog treats.
