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.

Dr. George Puterbaugh
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 am-6 pm;
Saturday, 8 am-noon
Dr. George Puterbaugh recognized his
love for animals early. 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
