Morning – Pet Connection

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Jensen

A lowrider of a dog who will lift your spirits high.

If you like the way pitties look, you will love Jensen, from the tip of his broad black nose to the end of his tail a long, long way behind. He’s got the classic wide pit bull face, short legs and a broad chest and shoulders that look like he could bench 440. The long, low-slung dog is almost broader…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Stella

Stellllllllaaaaaa!!!

Just like the iconic scene with Marlon Brando in “Streetcar Named Desire,” Stella could make you holler her name to the heavens — and that’s because people tend to shriek with delight every time they see her. She is a sweet and incredibly calm little mixed-breed puppy who came in to the Diamond in the Ruff animal rescue from a…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Harrington

Want a kiss from a handsome young fellow? Harrington's your guy.

He may be only 12 weeks old, but handsome little Harrington already has his charm game down pat. The black domestic shorthair kitten came in to Homeward Animal Shelter from the local pound, and he’s hardly stopped purring since then. Harrington gets along with everybody, old friend or stranger. Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad accompanied him on his visit to…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Buzz

He's light years ahead of the competition for cutest doggo.

We’re all abuzz about our newest Pet Connection guest this morning. Buzz is an electrifying little dog with tons of energy and charm, but who knows how to settle in and focus when there’s a need. The two-year-old Miniature Pinscher/Dachsund cross loves to play and likes to be on the go, enjoying car rides and games with both people and…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Happy

C'mon, c'mon, get happy.

We’re happy to tell you that you have a chance to bring home what may be the nicest cat we’ve ever met here at the Morning Show. Not just Happy, but handsome, the 11-year-old black domestic longhair was adopted from Homeward Animal Shelter back in 2009. However, his owner’s circumstances changed recently, so Happy’s come back to Homeward to try…

PET CONNECTION: Meet Mango

Mango Isn't Your Typical Parrot

  Meet Mango in this week’s Pet Connection. Mango is a 10-year-old Eclectus Parrot from our friends at C.A.A.R.E. Eclectus Parrots are not your typical birds. They are one of the few bird species that have different looks for males and females. Female Eclectus Parrots have red and purple feathers. They have very specific dietary needs. For that reason, most…

She’d love someone to just love and nuzzle up to. Juliet would go great in a family with kids. She gets along well with other cats that aren’t too rambunctious. She has…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Bones

Give a dog a bone, and a brand-new home he's more than earned.

If you’re looking for a friend to wake up with every morning who reminds you how lucky we all are to be here together, you can’t do better than to bring Bones into your life. He’s considered the “go-to” dog for all public events for 4 Luv of Dog rescue, said founder Kish Mackin, because his happy-go-lucky, calm, sociable personality…
