Subject: Planning Commission Hearing -Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this email in regards to the hearing for the conditional use permit for Canine Rehabilitation of Orange
County on 2920 Kilson Drive. As a veterinarian and resident of Santa Ana I feel this business would be of great
benefit to our city. At least 50% of our population are dog owners and the number one injury is related to knees. An
injury that is easily rehabilitated with underwater treadmill therapy and many other modalities this facility can offer.
I have had many patients recover and benefit from Lauryn and the staffs hard work and dedication. While this
company has been closed I feel that many patients have been suffering and not given the standard of care they
deserve. It would be a disservice to the veterinary world to not have Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County as an
option for our patients. Not only have I sent many patients to visit for rehab, I have personally witnessed the work
done here. The facility was always quiet, no barking as all the animals are relaxed and happy, the cleanliness was
unmatched, not once did I see any feces left for longer than 1 minute and any accident was promptly addressed by
the support staff. These appointments also last about 2 hrs each. In this time the clients would go visit nearby
restaurants and shopping districts. I feel that the influx of patrons would be a positive addition to the businesses
surrounding the facility. We need Lauryn and this business in our veterinary world. I strongly urge you to support
this quest to enrich the lives of these animals and bring a business that will add so much diversity to our growing
and changing city.
Thank you for your consideration.
Meredith Adams, DVM

Hello
My email is concerning the implementation of a permit for the Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County.
They are wonderful! My 12 year old dog now has his life back. He walks runs and plays ball like he was a pup
again. I am so appreciative of this organization for helping our dogs. We will gladly make this drive for these
helpful compassionate people.
Please grant them the permit.
Thank you

To whom it may concern,
I’m writing on behalf on Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County. When my dog had surgery for a torn knee, they
helped us bring back his strength, energy and happiness to live his best life, They do this for so many older dogs
who have no other option. Giving them a few more good months or years. We’re hoping you allow them to operate
in your city and give us back the only rehab center for our dogs. There aren’t a lot who can do this for us. Lauryn
and her staff are good caring people, the type of people you would want to operate a business in your city.
Thank you!

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Romi Hirayama and I am the owner of a 7 year old Border Collie named Clutch. Clutch sustained a torn
ACL while competing in a Dog Agility Competition and had ACL surgery back in September. Two weeks after
surgery, we were advised to start rehab with a certified professional. My Board Certified Ortho Vet recommended
Lauryn at CROC, so that’s where we went! He was doing so well and his recovery was looking great! We’ve
unfortunately had a few set backs since CROC had to move and find a new location. We tried other rehab facilities
and we just weren’t having the same progress and actually took steps backwards. Worried for my dog and if these
places really had the experience, I stopped going and have been waiting for CROC to re-open. CROC has done so
much for Clutch and his recovery, we cannot wait until they are able to work their magic and support us in his
recovery again. I have been waiting and waiting to be able to take my dog back so he can get back on the road to
recovery. Their knowledge, empathy, support and experience is the best around and I believe allowing them to work
with dogs in need of their services will help so many dogs and families live a better, healthier and happier life.
Thanks for your time,
Romi Hirayama

Subject: Attn: Planning Commission, re: CROC business application
To whom it may concern at the Santa Ana Planning Commission:
By now you’ve no doubt received many positive messages regarding the business permit application for
Canine Rehab of Orange County, the majority of which include stories about how beneficial - even life-
saving - their therapy services are for dogs. Ours is no different. Our 14-year-old English Lab suffers from
severe arthritis, and we credit CROC’s therapy for keeping her as mobile as she is. Their recent loss of
lease for their previous location and subsequent closure have been a hardship on us and may others who rely
on them for a very specialized service. We’re anxious for them to resume operations as soon as possible.
Our story is important to us, but hardly unique. CROC provides a unique and vital service for dogs that’s
not available anywhere else in the county, and there are many people who rely on them for their dog’s
continued health and survival. Allowing CROC to open in your city places them as close to the center of
Orange County as possible, making it even more convenient for dog owners throughout the county to bring
their business to Santa Ana. CROC’s owner/operators are honest people who run a business that benefits
not only their multitude of clients, but also any city where they’re located. Allowing them to operate in
yours can only be a win/win situation for all parties involved. We hope you will approve their application
as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your consideration,
John and Diane Hollenbeck

To whom it may concern:
Canine Rehab of OC is a unique and necessary entity in our county. It is a place where “man’s best friend” receives
skilled hands on attention and individualized care. My golden retriever, Cisco, is receiving excellent treatment there
for canine hip dysplasia. It is a place of healing and love.
I urge the Planning Commission to grant the conditional use permit to allow operation of Canine Rehab of OC.
Please do not delay, many canines with injuries and diseases are awaiting treatment.
Sincerely,
Donna Smith

Re: Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County
@2920 Kilson Dr Santa Ana
My dogs have been seeing Lauryn and CROC for almost 5 years. I have 2 senior dogs and
one almost senior dog. Lauryn and her team have lovingly addressed each of my “kid’s”
physical issues. They are very professional, organized and efficient. They run a fabulous tight
ship. As long as I have been coming to see them I have never heard dogs barking or
witnessed any unruly behavior from a dog or a dog parent.
Because it’s a drop-off/pick-up situation, parking is never an issue.
We all are looking very forward to the approval of their Conditional Use Permit and CROC’s
subsequent re-opening so we can get back to seeing them regularly. Lauryn and her team will
be a wonderful addition to the City of Santa Ana.
Thank you for your consideration.

I strongly urge you to authorize the use application for Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County. Our dog received
excellent treatment at the previous location. It was always immaculate and quiet. Our dog loved going and greatly
benefitted from the excellent, individual care provided by the wonderful staff.
