Our May Critter of the Month hails all the way from the Big Apple. Miss Ruby will charm your socks off and is a model patient when she comes to visit us here at the clinic. We thought she was a perfect choice this warm and sunny time of year. Her humans Erin and Scott were nice enough to oblige us with her story. “Three years ago, we lived in Manhattan and wanted to adopt a puppy. Unfortunately, our building only allowed dogs under 25 lbs, and small dogs are in high demand in New York City. We tried every shelter and rescue group, butRead More →

This month we are spotlighting one of the most handsome gents this clinic has ever seen. Alfie sports a sleek and shiny black coat while hypnotizing unsuspecting victims with his emerald eyes. His humans, Sarah and Matt, tell us about how they all met. “We adopted Alfie about 5 years ago from Animal Care and Control in San Francisco. We chose him because he was very noisy and quite the meower and because he was BIG and we’ve always had big boy cats in the past. His shelter name was Brad Pitt, which was fitting because he’s so handsome, but we decided to call himRead More →

Our March critter is beloved by all the Campus Veterinary Clinic staff. Tyson Meyer is always stoked to come see his favorite veterinarian Dr. Margo Reid. At 9 years young, this ebullient and happy-go-lucky goofball is always a pleasure to have on our schedule. Tyson’s  humans Mike and Heather share his story: “It was love at first sight. From the minute we first walked into Tyson’s room at the SFSPCA back in 2009, it took him less than 30 seconds to transform from a nervous, barking basket case to a submissive love sponge. He rolled right over onto his back so we could scratch hisRead More →

When life gave her lemons, our Critter of the Month made lemonade. Emma Gray lost one of her legs to cancer over a year ago. She has impressed us all with her pluck and can-do attitude in the wake of this loss. With the support of her loving owner Siobhan she has served as a shining example to all of us here in how to overcome life’s obstacles. Emma was an easy choice for our star patient this month. Here’s her story in Siobhan’s words: “I met Emma then Cleo at the Manhattan Beach SPCA storefront on July 14, 2002.  She was a high energyRead More →

We present to you a very distinguished fellow for this month’s Critter of The Month. Milo, a 17lb hunk of handsome, leaves an indelible impression upon all he chooses to grace with his presence. Owner Eleanore is his number one fan and personal manager. We are so happy she chose to share his story with us. Milo is a very large “Snowshoe Siamese,” (more on that later) an important member of our family for over eleven years. We originally met Milo at the Berkeley Pound. In a very unusual situation, someone had dropped off a whole cat family the night before, the mother and fatherRead More →

 Bassett Hounds may be known as hunting dogs, but our friend Lucy Flint prefers a more sedate lifestyle. She has endeared our staff with her soulful gaze and polite demeanor. Her human Amy kindly shares with us the story of how Lucy joined their household. “After 13 years with a very energetic yellow lab and 2 years pet-free, my husband and I decided we were ready for a low-energy four-legged friend. I started combing petfinder regularly for bassett hounds and one day came across a litter of the  cutest basset-beagle puppies you’ve ever seen!  I emailed right away and was told that all of theRead More →
