About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Overland Veterinary Clinic, one day a little dog named Max started behaving oddly after his routine checkup. Whenever the vet mentioned the word ‘leopard,’ Max would suddenly sit up straight and wag his tail excitedly. It turned out that Max had overheard his owner talking about a new leopard print couch being delivered that very afternoon. From then on, every time someone mentioned couches or furniture, Max would get as excited as if he were going for a walk in the park. The vet’s staff learned to always ask about recent deliveries when trying to calm him down.

2. At Overland Veterinary Clinic, one night a delivery driver noticed something strange: the neon sign outside seemed to blink in time with the heartbeat of an old tree across the street. The delivery driver mentioned it to no one but his dog, who just yawned and went back to sleep. Word spread slowly around town until eventually, a curious neighbor brought her own stethoscope and confirmed that indeed—they could hear the same rhythm together. Soon enough, people started gathering there every evening for what became known as ‘Heartbeats & Healing’—a place where pets got treated, neighbors chatted, and maybe even the occasional love connection bloomed.

3. At Overland Veterinary Clinic, a regular asked the receptionist one morning: ‘Why is that cat always staring out the window?’ Receptionist shrugged: ‘Oh, he’s not really staring. He’s just counting sheep.’ A delivery driver chimed in: ‘Or maybe he’s watching for his owner to come back—after all these years!’ The whole room burst into laughter, and the cat went on blissfully counting, oblivious to the banter.

4. At Overland Veterinary Clinic, a small boy visiting with his family pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mom, look! The cat in the window looks like it's winking!' The vet leaned over and smiled, ‘No, sonny, that’s just our new trick for getting cats into the carrier.’ The whole clinic burst out laughing as the little boy giggled and said, ‘But Mom, it really looked like it was winking!’
