About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Oakes Animal Hospital and said to himself, ‘I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that dog before.’ As he approached the door, he recognized the canine face from his own neighborhood. Turns out, the friendly pooch was just visiting its human friend inside. The delivery guy scratched his head and thought, 'Small world, indeed!'
2. One day, a worried neighbor approached the reception desk at Oakes Animal Hospital and asked, ‘Do you guys ever see animals that look like they’re trying to tell us something?’ The vet looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and replied, ‘Well, actually, yesterday a delivery driver brought in a parrot who kept saying “Open the door!” We thought it was just a talkative bird until he unlocked his cage himself!’ The neighbor laughed, shaking their head with a smile, as everyone else in the waiting room burst into laughter.
3. One night, after hours, an emergency vet received a frantic call from someone claiming their pet had swallowed something strange. Upon arriving at Oakes Animal Hospital, they found a note taped to the door: ‘Please bring your pets with you tonight—we’ve got a full house!’ Inside, chaos reigned: dogs barking, cats hissing, birds flapping everywhere. The vet calmly checked each animal and soon realized it was all due to one culprit—a mischievous neighbor’s parrot who loved stealing treats from other pets’ bowls.
4. One afternoon, a customer exclaimed to the receptionist: ‘I just saw a dog wearing human clothes walking out of your clinic!’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, that was probably just our mascot, a beagle named Buster, who loves to dress up.' The customer laughed and shook his head, thinking it must have been an optical illusion.
