Overview

Glendale Small Animal Hospital opened in 1925 when Glendale was a small, sleepy town of approximately 40,000. The original owner was Dr. George W. Blanche (1874-1960) who had fought in the Spanish-American war. He started with a small practice and even added 'a pet ambulance.' Glendale Small Animal Hospital is still located at the same site making it one of the very few hospitals in the nation still in operation in its original location. In 1931, Dr. Blanche took on Dr. Daniel Adler, DVM (1908-1979) as an associate. In 1937 Dr. Adler became a co-owner. In 1963 Dr. Adler sold the practice to Drs. Burton C. Roe and Orin C. Mullins. In 1966 Dr. Roe became the sole owner. Dr. Kenneth Barnes joined in 1965 and partnered with Roe for about 10 years. In 1973 Dr. Tanveer Hussain earned his degree, came to the US in 1974, began working with Dr. Roe, passed his licensing exam in 1978, became associate, and sole owner in 1982. Dr. Joycelyn Quan joined in 1988 and became co-owner in 1998. The hospital received a major redesign in 1993
