  We think our hospital has a homey feeling that is both a comfortable place to work and a pleasant place to visit. Murphy Road Animal Hospital has been located in Sylvan Park since 1977, and has undergone four renovations and additions. Sylvan Park is a wonderful area and we have a great community here.

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=13580

  Let's leave Murphy Road Animal Hospital and walk just across Murphy Road. You will see the red awning of Love at First Sight!, our Puppy and Kitten Adoption Center and Nursery. Here you will find adorable puppies and kittens, all waiting to be adopted by new families.

  

• Inside Our Adoption Center

  /Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=12918

  When you enter Love at First Sight! you will immediately notice two things, first how clean it is, and second, how noisy! You will find puppies and kittens of all types and sizes. We obtain our puppies and kittens only from families that have had unplanned litters. Only healthy pets are accepted into the program. They are given thorough physical examinations by our veterinarians, vaccinated against serious disease, dewormed, bathed, and fed only the best diets. There is no adoption fee for these pets, we ask only that you pay for the medical care that they have received, and promise to return to us to complete their vaccination series and be spayed or neutered. The fees for these services are then returned to the adoption center to cover its considerable expenses. That's how Love at First Sight! is funded, and how we have been able to find loving families for over 3000 puppies and kittens since 1995.
