A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates and said with a straight face, ‘I’ve got an emergency—my truck just tried to bark!’ The vet looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'Sir,' she said, 'your truck is not a dog.' She checked its throat and declared, 'It's just thirsty!' The delivery driver nodded sheepishly and left, promising never to bring his truck back again. Ever since, though, everyone in town jokes that RVRA has the best water fountains for trucks.
2. Late one foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates. The truck’s engine sputtered like an old dog wheezing, sending everyone inside into fits of giggles. Just as he was about to unload, his headlights caught something moving in the shadows—a stray cat with big, curious eyes. ‘Hey little guy,’ said the driver, reaching out gently. The cat leaped onto the truck bed and started helping him carry boxes inside, much to everyone's amusement. That night became legendary around town for its unexpected teamwork between man and feline.’
3. Late one stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates. Over the intercom came an unusual request: ‘We’re out of catnip—could you please bring some?’ The delivery driver scratched his head and replied, 'Catnip? I’ll be back in five!' He returned with a bag full of fresh herbs from his garden. It turned out that the vet’s next-door neighbor was an avid gardener who often shared her bounty.
4. Late one rainy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Oregon Veterinary Referral Associates with an unusual package. As he approached the door, a voice from inside asked, 'Is that you, Dr. Jenkins?' Inside, everyone was indeed surprised—it turned out to be a crate filled with wet and confused pugs, who had mistakenly been delivered to the vet instead of a neighbor’s house down the street. A relieved laugh followed as someone joked, ‘Guess they thought it was their own personal rainbow bridge!’
