Morning – Pet Connection

Pet Connection: Meet Alvin

Alvin is one of four young Shepherd mixes looking for a fresh start where they can blossom into themselves

  Alvin didn’t have the best start to his life. He’s one of four 4 to 5-month-old Shepherd mix puppies surrendered to the Humane Society of the Lakes. They were underfed when they arrived, and they’re a little skittish around people still. But all four are ready for homes! They just need a caring, nurturing home with people ready to…

Pet Connection: Meet Boone

He could be your "Boone" companion.

Boone is a handsome sweetheart with a shy personality that means he’ll need an extra helping hand to come out of his shell. The good-looking guy really needs it, too. He’s been stuck in the shelter now for more than a year and a half. Specifically, Thursday the 16th is his 629th day with Homeward Animal Shelter. No cat wants…

Pet Connection: Meet Billy

Floof and fun all in a pocket-sized package.

We might not need to bundle up quite so much this morning as we did earlier this week. But this little guy didn’t get the memo. Billy the chinchilla is one of several available at Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic Rescue. Chinchillas, with their dense, soft, beautiful fur, are ready for the cold, and for your cuddles. That’s in the…

Pet Connection: Meet Thimble & Button

Thimble & Button join Pet Connection as a bonded pair from Cat's Cradle Shelter

  We’re featuring a shelter for the very first time for this week’s Pet Connection. Meet Thimble and Button from Cat’s Cradle Shelter. During our interview, Button got restless and jumped out of the arms of Natural Pet Center owner Michelle Smith. They’re four-month-old bonded kittens. They’re staying at Natural Pet Center while they’re waiting for a new home. Because…

Pet Connection: Meet Napoleon

This guy can definitely conquer your heart.

The shelters are strapped for space this morning. They’re dealing with a lot more animals coming in homeless than usual. It’s the opposite of where we were last year, with all kinds of people looking to adopt for the first time. On the plus side — if you’re looking for a new furry family member, you’ve got a lot to choose…

Pet Connection: Meet Tobey & Sunny

The Maltese mixes are learning a bunch after starting off life in an unfortunate situation

  We have a couple adorable pups who had a rough start to life this week for Pet Connection. But man, they’re cute, and hopefully they find a good home soon. Meet Sunny and Tobey from the Uffda Animal Rescue in Cando, North Dakota. They’re Maltese mixes. Sunny is a female. Tobey is a male. They came from a hoarding…

Pet Connection: Meet Hansel

A handsome fellow who's good at conversation.

If you’re looking for some good conversation, chances are, you don’t think bringing home a new house pet is going to fit the bill. Siamese cats, however, may be just what you need. They’re often considered to be among the “chattiest” of cat breeds. And this guy, Hansel, a ten-year-old Siamese at Homeward Animal Shelter, is no exception. Homeward’s Heather…

Pet Connection: Meet Magnolia

Magnolia is a favorite at the Humane Society of Otter Tail County

  No Pet Connection video this week, but our friends at the Humane Society of Otter Tail County in Fergus Falls want you to know about one of their favorite kitties. Magnolia! She’s year and a half old spayed female who is incredibly sweet and social. She originally came in as a stray at the end of summer and was…

Pet Connection: Meet Kombucha

A 10-month-old pup is looking for a home full of energy where she can play, have fun, and find a family to love

  A 10-month-old pup is looking for a home full of energy where she can play, have fun, and find a family to love. Let’s introduce you to Kombucha from 4 Luv of Dog Rescue. We understand that not everyone can help a dog by bringing it into your home. That’s a big commitment. But you can help all the…

Pet Connection: Meet Zumi

Zumi Joins Pet Connection From Homeward Animal Shelter

  This week’s Pet Connection is an energetic young pup looking to be the baby of the house. Zumi’s adoption fee is $100 off during October thanks to Muscatell Subaru and the Subaru Loves Pets Adopt-A-Thon. Zumi is also part of a contest on the Homeward Animal Shelter Facebook page. Just head to this post and comment on what you…
