I had someone dump a five week-old puppy on me out of the blue at 7am one morning. I'd lost one of my dogs just a few months prior, and I guess it was this person's ignorant attempt at... I guess being nice? Side note, do not surprise a person with a puppy you found being given away at degenerate dive-bar the night before. This is the closest vet to me, which was the only criterion I used to go there.
Everyone here is incredibly cool, understanding of dealing with a too-young puppy, and they even have free K-Cup coffee... Which was amazing considering I was woken up to being given this puppy and I was there right as they opened.
The only thing that seemed weird to me is when the vet ticked off a bare-minimum list of vaccines they were going to give her and looked at me a little surprised when I requested everything on the menu. He seemed genuinely shocked and happy when I explained that I'm not the kind of person who skimps on my animals' medical care and I want to make sure this little girl was taken care of. Even the support staff were kind, helpful, and wonderful.
The only hiccup for me was when my older dog (thirteen years old) was not very happy about having an annoying baby around, and became super jealous and grumpy. I tried to make it work for a few days before I realised it was stressing the old man out and it wasn't fair to put him through this so late in his life. A few people I had told about the situation suggest incredibly stupid things, like giving her away on Craig's List. When I called the vet about it, they were incredibly understanding and helpful - which is deeply appreciated because it was tearing me up to have to let her go, not the least of it was that I'd named her. They gave me a couple of contacts, including a very amazing one (which I won't disclose here) that ended up getting little Daisy (what I named the puppy) an better forever home than I could have imagined. Her new owners had two dogs exactly like her, one had passed a little while back, and they had been looking for an identical dog.
I only dealt with this clinic for a week, but it was one of the most chaotic weeks I'd had in a very long time, and they were over and beyond amazing. Read Less
