Thatcher still has that puppy energy, despite being two years old. The German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab joins us for this week’s Pet Connection from the Humane Society of the Lakes in Detroit Lakes. They’re working to harness that energy. He’s learning commands like sit and lie down. Thatcher loves other dogs, but focuses too much on cats and small critters…
Dory is back again! The beautiful Doberman Pincher joined us with her brother back in January from 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. She’s still looking for that elusive forever home. Dory is a shy girl. She doesn’t much like other dogs or cats, but she could get used to living with older kids. Once she does get used to her…
FARGO — There’s really nothing practical about falling in love, but this dog has definitely mastered the mechanics of gaining your affections. Mechanic the mastiff-boxer mix comes to our studio and to 4 Luv of Dog rescue by way of the pound. He’s six years old and neutered, and has truly impeccable manners. As a matter of fact, in his…
Bring a spark of joy to your home with Spark the pup. He’s a 4 1/2-month-old mixed breed at the Uffda Animal Rescue in Cando, North Dakota. Spark is laid back, but very smart. He’s already potty-trained and kennel-trained, and they were working on leash training. He loves people, and already spends time in large groups of people with…
FARGO — There’s a saying amongst folks who work on camera for a living that you have to “know your angles.” Mickey might not officially be working as on-camera talent (darn that SAG-AFTRA strike) but he sure loves the camera, and it loves him right back. And so does most of the staff on the KVRR Morning Show, because the…
FARGO — They say good things come in small packages, and dogs don’t come a whole lot smaller than Uncle the Chihuahua. He’s still at puppy at only seven months old, but he’s already picked up some great manners. He’s got a very laid back disposition for a breed that’s widely understood to be prone to anxiety, and in spite…
Gizmo’s volunteer handler from CAARE Avian Rescue claimed he had woken up on the wrong side of the cage the morning of Pet Connection. If this is Gizmo grumpy, we can’t imagine how friendly he is when he’s well-rested. Because the first thing the 35-year-old cockatoo did was hop on board Emily just as she was about to read the…
This week’s pet comes to us from the Humane Society of the Lakes in Detroit Lakes, and he’s had some significant suffering in his life. The coonhound mix came in from animal control with a couple of other dogs, and Jethro had a noticeable limp. Rescue workers took him to the vet, where they discovered the 11-year-old coonhound mix had…
FARGO — We have a really sweet guest for Pet Connection this week. Halo the tuxedo cat was here on the Morning Show, thanks to Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad. He’s practically an angel, he’s so well-behaved — hence the name. And the eight-and-a-half-year-old domestic medium hair isn’t just sweet in disposition. His blood sugar’s sweet, too, because Halo has…
We call him Smiley Wylie around here. Wylie has an infectious energy and loves to be around people. He joins us for this week’s Pet Connection from 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. Wylie is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever Mix. He’s a big boy at nearly 90 pounds. He wants to hang out with people, go out and play with…
