“How adorable is Wadoo in his new red harness?!

I am growing to love this guy more and more every day- he definitely needs leash manners and needs to learn to take treats gently- he tends to get a little overzealous but he is a diamond in the rough- with the right family and some patience and training, this boy will shine bright💎💍”

Wadoo has spent his entire life in a shelter , behind kenneled doors.
He was 6 months old when he came to us, he was adopted once for less than 48 hours when the adopter returned him saying he “was too much”

He has never learned how not “to be too much” because there is no time in a kennel setting to consistently train and teach puppy manners.

The longer he sits, the more he is over stimulated here.

He’s currently 2 1/2 years old and needs to get out or his chances lessen at ever finding a home .

If you are looking for a “project “ kind of dog, a dog that would greatly benefit from your time , energy and attention.

If you have a heart for a dog who was left behind and forgotten since he was a mere puppy, please consider giving this boy a chance.

He needs to be the only pet in the home, he’s not overly large and would be a great companion in the right home.

Please give him a REAL CHANCE at a life outside of these walls.

His adoption fee is fully sponsored.

WE’RE OFFICIALLY OPEN TOMORROW!!!!

After a very long road, Steamtown Veterinary Center will officially open our doors tomorrow!!!

Beginning tomorrow, 08/22/2026, we’ll be here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For anyone who is new to our page, Steamtown Veterinary Center is a privately owned veterinary hospital created to provide Northeastern Pennsylvania with emergency veterinary care when your pet is sick, injured, or needs immediate care.

We are not here to replace your regular veterinarian. We’re here to work alongside the amazing general practices in our community by providing emergency and urgent care, hospitalization, surgery, diagnostics, and continued care when your regular veterinarian may not be available.

Our hospital is equipped for:
• Emergency and urgent veterinary care
• 24 hour hospitalization and monitoring
• Emergency and urgent surgery
• Soft tissue surgery
• Dentistry, dental radiographs, and oral surgery
• Digital X-rays
• Ultrasound
• In house laboratory testing
• Oxygen support and critical care
• And more

For now, we will primarily be seeing dogs and cats. We may have veterinarians working who have a special interest or experience in exotic animal medicine. When those doctors are scheduled, we’ll let everyone know that exotic appointments or emergencies may be available during those specific shifts.

At this time, we do not have any exotic focused shifts scheduled, so for now, please consider us a dogs and cats only hospital unless we announce otherwise.

Starting tomorrow, if your pet needs us, we’re here, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along, shared our posts, called us, stopped by, encouraged us, and supported us throughout this entire process. The support from this community has meant so much to us.

We cannot wait to finally open our doors and start caring for the pets and families of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

We’re here if you need us!!!
