LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Eevie

She's not actually a puppy, although you might think this pint-sized sweetie-pie is at first.

Eevie might be small in stature, but she’s probably the biggest flirt in the entire F-M metro area. Even though she’s never met you before, she’ll likely greet you with enthusiastic tail wags, an offer for a hug, even a kiss or a friendly little nibble on your chin. She’s a mix of blue heeler/Australian cattle dog, and she’s got…

Huskies are a high-energy breed, and she’s definitely got those genes working in her. She’s also very cuddly and affectionate, and quite food-motivated so she should be easy to train. At…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Dougal

They call him "the beefcake."

This beefy boy may be made out of pure muscle, but in fact, the biggest muscle on Dougan the pit bull is his big, loving heart. And just because he looks like he spends most of the day in the gym doesn’t mean he wouldn’t rather be hanging out on your couch snuggling with you instead. Karen Schneider with 4…

Scotch is one of them. This beautiful 3-year-old tabby came to Homeward Animal Shelter from our local pound,…
