Morning – Pet Connection

Pet Connection: Meet Gemma

Gemma is an 18-month-old Pit Bull mix who just wants to break out and enjoy life

Gemma is a bundle of energy. She joined us for Pet Connection this week from Homeward Animal Shelter. She’s an 18-month-old Pit Bull mix who just wants to break out and enjoy life. She loves to play, and can be a bit of a playful nibbler. That’s one reason why she would do best in a home with older children….

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Gibbs

FARGO — Little Gibbs the Lab cross is a really, really good boy. And that’s especially impressive because up until he was taken from the pound after almost running out of time, he had very obviously never lived in a house before. Journey Home Animal Rescue Nicole Jorgenson brought Gibbs in to the Morning Show and says when she first…

Pet Connection: Meet Bello

Bello means "beautiful" in Spanish. That perfectly captures this week's Pet Connection cutie

  Bello means “beautiful” in Spanish. That perfectly captures this week’s Pet Connection cutie. Bello is a two-year-old orange tabby from our friends at Homeward Animal Shelter. He is a super sweet cat who loves all people. He really just wants to be a cuddly lap cat. He’s not the biggest fan of dogs. Bello is also positive for feline…

Pet Connection: Meet Gumby

Gumby could be a great bird for someone who might be afraid of the commitment it takes to keep birds as pets

  Gumby could be a great bird for someone who might be afraid of the commitment it takes to keep birds as pets. The 11-year-old White-Capped Pionus is pretty laid back. He won’t demand attention as much as other parrots usually do. Birds like him typically have lifespans of around 30 years. He has a beautiful white head with green…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet The St. Patrick’s Day Kittens

FARGO — They’re a lucky little bunch of babies, because this band of brothers with all-Irish-themed names is being raised in a safe, loving foster home after their mother was taken in by a brand-new pet rescue established in Fertile, MN. It’s called Smiley’s Rescue, and it’s a 5013c nonprofit established by a woman in her early 20s who’s got…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Licorice

We can predict she's going to be more popular than the candy.

FARGO — Licorice is a noteworthily divisive candy, but in spite of her shiny black coat, Licorice may be misnamed, because this dog has something to appeal to practically everybody. She’s a one-and-a-half-year-old pit bull mix, and as you can see, she’s got that great big pittie smile and that sweet, cuddly, pittie personality. She has the distinctive forehead wrinkles…

Pet Connection: Meet Confetti

Confetti is such a good dog she shows other pups the ropes of being a pooch

  Confetti is a very well-behaved girl. She knows a whole litany of tricks, including a couple you don’t see very often. The Labrador Retriever / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix has been with 4 Luv of Dog rescue for more than 500 days. And she’s not even three years old. That’s far too long to go without a forever…

Pet Connection: Meet Fajitas

She's a snack all right.

FARGO — Fajitas might start off a little cooler than her namesake dish, but once you give her a minute to warm up, she can serve all the cuddles you want. She came to Pet Connection by way of Homeward Animal Shelter, who got her from the pound, according to Homeward’s Heather Klefstad. They think she’s about a year old,…
