Puterbaugh considers himself a pretty average individual. Nonetheless, this “aver age” guy once risked his own safety to save someone from drowning. He also assisted in the release o f POWs in Japan while serv ing in the Navy during World War II. He even witnessed the signing of the peace treaty that ended the war. Not so average. After returning home, he went to the University of California at Davis, graduat ing with a degree in veterinary medicine. Peninsula Dog & Cat Clinic has stood watch over Interstate Avenue since 1959. This is one in a series featuring some o f the more than 100 businesses operating along Interstate Ave. Recognizing that these establishments reflect the cultural richness o f the communities they serve, Tri-Met and its partner agencies have made a serious commitment to support them during Interstate M AX construction.

By the time he was eight years old, he rode horses almost every day. Those early years were about more than riding, though. As a young horseman, he also learned to stand up for one’s rights, be honest and self-reliant, work hard and make wise choices. Many things have changed in Dr. Puter- baugh’s life, but the ready smile, the twin kling eyes and quick enthusiasm haven’t dimmed a single watt. “I was faster in my youth,” he says, breaking into a wide grin. The 800 and 1500 meters; now I manage to run a little over 8-minutc-milcs with the Over 70 Hood to Coast Team.” All that energy enabled him to build and sell five veterinary businesses. Currently, he owns Peninsula Dog &c Cat Clinic and Stark Street Animal Clinic in Gresham. Some Peninsula clinic staff boast over 15 years o f service with Dr. Puterbaugh. W ith over five decades as a veterinarian, he knows how much pets mean to their owners, bringing years o f happiness to a family. His team of doctors and staff pride themselves on compassionate and personal care, tailored to each individual pet. “We care for pets as if they were our own,” Dr. Puterbaugh says. l/l/e care for pets a s if they were 99 our own. Dr. Puterbaugh’s caring touch makes the visit easier for this four-legged patient. Plus, in his late 50s he ran a mind-bog gling one hour, 21 minutes in a half mara thon (13.1 miles). That means he chugged along at little over a six-minute pace! How we get there matters 1 t I >
