Motel for Pets was a veterinary boarding facility for small animals located at 4640 US Highway 280. The motel was founded in 1956 by veterinarian Jack C. Baker. The Motel consisted of two wings and a reception area that was capable of handling 100 animals at any one time.
After Dr. Baker's sudden death in 1957, the facility was managed by David Charlton, who operated with the motto "Drink for the Thirsty, Food for the Hungry, Lodging for the Weary, Good Keeping for Canines and Felines.”.
The motel closed in 1984 and sold to Riverview Animal Clinic, which remains on the site today.
