FARGO — If you’re looking for a dog whose personality is “as smooth as a sax solo,” in the words of Homeward Animal Shelter’s Natalie Perhus, then the description of what Kenny G’s like to be around will be music to your ears. Kenny came to the shelter from the Spirit Lake reservation area, where all the shelters and the…
FARGO — They’re the dogs that have a lot of people asking themselves, “What the fluff?” Chow chows are a breed not many people know a whole lot about, and that’s a shame, because with their thick coats built to withstand harsh winters in China, they’re a great fit for our extreme cold climate here in the upper Midwest. These…
FARGO — The metro is going to the dogs…. and they want you to join them. It’s the annual Fargo Moorhead Kennel Club All Breed show this weekend, and they’re expecting about one hundred twenty dogs to compete.

MOORHEAD — In spite of her name, we don’t know much about little Fable’s origin story.

He fetched up by way of the West Fargo pound about a month ago, but little else besides his approximate age of about 8…
FARGO — It’s the question that hangs every week over each pet who comes through the KVRR studios for Pet Connection Thursday. Sooner or later, during the shoot, someone will ask, “Who on earth would ever be willing to give up such a wonderful animal companion?” And most of the time, the question goes unanswered. In Waldo’s case, we know……
FARGO — If you’re ever wondering just how much hard work and heartbreak goes into animal rescue, you’ve got the answer in these five tiny, fragile, one-week-old kittens. They were discovered abandoned, no mother or caretaker in sight, in a cardboard box at a gas station, having been born premature and undeveloped. Their odds of survival are far from assured…
WEST FARGO, N.D. — You could say that Fred is the perfect companion for any lady looking for love. He’s sweet. He loves to cuddle. He loves music and likes to dance. And at at least 44 years old, with a life expectancy of about 80 years, he’s the perfect combination of maturity and life experience — but with lots…
FARGO — Walking a mile in someone’s shoes is usually not as easy as you’d think, it’s even harder if you’re trying to walk in the footsteps of Bebop the shepherd cross.
