About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, near VCA Vets & Pets Animal Hospital, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. While unloading supplies from his truck, he stumbled upon an old, dusty crate emblazoned with the words ‘Emergency Pet Rescue.’ Curious, he brought it inside, only to discover… Inside was a small, sleepy puppy with big brown eyes and a wagging tail. The label on the crate read: 'Free to Good Home.' Turns out, the hospital had accidentally left it behind during their morning rush. A regular passing by recognized the dog and adopted him on the spot—now everyone calls him Mr. Delivery.
2. In the sleepy town of Willow Creek, next to VCA Vets & Pets Animal Hospital, a delivery truck pulled up one morning. The driver stepped out, stretched, and noticed something odd on the pavement—a small, dusty box. Curious, he picked it up only to discover that inside were not just any toys but an entire collection of vintage dog collars, each engraved with different names and dates. The delivery driver smiled, thinking someone must have accidentally left them there. He decided to leave the box in front of the hospital, hoping someone would claim their lost treasure. Later that day, a regular customer, a friendly golden retriever named Max, sniffed around the box and found his very own antique collar from 1987—engraved with his old owner’s name. Everyone at the hospital laughed as they imagined Max’s long-lost past adventures.
3. At dusk, in front of VCA Vets & Pets Animal Hospital, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look—doggie is waving!’ Her mom just shook her head, smiling, as she watched the statue outside the vet’s office wave its paw back and forth. A few days later, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the hospital, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why dogs always bark at me.’ The receptionist smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Probably because you remind them of that statue out front.’
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to VCA Vets & Pets Animal Hospital with an unusual package. The hospital staff exchanged puzzled glances as they unwrapped it—inside was a tiny umbrella stand, complete with miniature parasols. Curious, one of the vets picked up one of the little umbrellas and accidentally knocked over a nearby water bowl. As the vet frantically tried to clean up the mess, another staff member suggested that maybe the package wasn’t for them after all. They called their neighbor down the street—a retired florist who loved oddities—and she identified it as part of a vintage wedding decor set from the 1950s.
