About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streets of Los Angeles fall silent, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over the 380 West Animal Hospital’s intercom: ‘Your pet is waiting for you… in surgery.’ The staff ignored it at first, but soon enough, late-night deliveries started arriving with mysterious packages marked simply as ‘urgent care’. Finally, one night an exhausted delivery driver arrived with a package labeled ‘URGENT CARE #99’. Curious, the vet opened it to find only a note: ‘We’re out of urgent care numbers—your pet is next!’ Everyone laughed so hard they forgot about the creepy messages altogether.

2. At dawn, when most animal hospitals are quieting down after a busy night, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside 380 West Animal Hospital. The parking lot seemed unusually empty—except for one lone dog, barking insistently at an old tree. Curious, he approached and saw that the dog was trying to pull out an old sign reading ‘No Parking.’ With a puzzled smile, the driver thought, ‘This must be some kind of neighborhood prank!’ And indeed it was—a local resident had hidden the sign there as a joke on new visitors. The sun rose, the dog went home, and life at 380 West continued its usual routine.

3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at 380 West Animal Hospital. As he unloaded supplies, he noticed something odd—a small box wrapped in brown paper, sitting innocently among the crates. As he opened it carefully, out popped a tiny puppy with big brown eyes and a wagging tail. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their new pet behind. The delivery driver took the little guy inside, where everyone fell in love with him instantly. Now, every time you visit, there's a good chance you'll see him greeting you at the door—just another friendly face at 380 West Animal Hospital.

4. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘someplace that’s open on Sundays.’ But as he approached the door, he heard a faint meowing sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny kitten, mewling pitifully in a cage. 'Oh, you little stray,' he cooed, scooping it up. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat who had snuck in for some warmth. The next day, the grateful owner arrived with a bag of treats, much to everyone's amusement.
