When you get up as early as we do here on the Morning Show, you’ll take any chance you get to keep a smile on your face. That’s where Happy Jake and Zeke come in awfully handy. The 1-and-a-half-year-old yellow Lab and the 5-year-old blue heeler woke up pretty early themselves to come in all the way from James River…
Ragu is a fighter. The 8-to-10-week-old pup was found without a home. 4 Luv of Dog Rescue took her in and found out she had a fractured pelvis and a leg broken in three places. Ragu had to have her leg amputated, but her prognosis is good. She won’t be available for adoption until she heals, but she’s already…

Since they couldn’t join us for Pet Connection, we highlights a couple of animals available through the shelter, Abigail the black lab and Helena the domestic shorthair cat.

He couldn’t be a less grumpy old man if he tried, aside from his age. Barrett, a 12-year-old chihuahua-pomeranian cross, visited the KVRR Morning Show studios with Heather Klefstad of Homeward Animal Shelter to talk with Emily Welker, but he left his best buddy to sleep in. That’s 10-year-old Raylen, a beagle who goes everywhere Barrett goes. The bonded pair…
We’ve all heard the stories of dogs separated by thousands of miles from their owners who somehow make their way back home to them. So for Dillon, a blue heeler lab mix, and Mystique, a pittie lab mix, the hour and a half drive to the KVRR studios from James River Humane Society was no big thing. Both two-year-old rescue…

She recently had puppies and isn’t spayed yet. But once she is, she’ll be ready for a loving home soon. 4 Luv of Dog puts a…
Bosco is teaching us all a lesson in wearing your senior years with style. The 14-year-old dachsund is still strutting and sniffing out treats in his elder years, and he filled the studio with delight on the Morning Show. Bosco and his buddy, 4 Luv of Dog rescue Kish Hilmert, joined the Morning Show’s Emily Welker for a live in-studio…
Roxy the doxy, or dachsund, is a dog who immediately shows you why there are pretty much two kinds of people — people who love dachsunds and people who don’t know any yet. Roxy joined Emily Welker live in-studio on the KVRR Morning Show with Diamond In The Ruff volunteer Ryan Keel to talk about the long and the short of…
Who wouldn’t want to be friends with these glorious little balls of cuddle? Chandler and Ross, two three-month-old shepherd mix puppies, snuggled up on the Morning Show set with Emily Welker and rescue worker Heather Klefstad of Homeward Animal Shelter. The pair of brothers came into the shelter just this Wednesday as strays from the Spirit Lake Area, and irresistible…
Ever hear the old saying, “Everything’s Jake”? It means everything is fine or a-okay. When you meet Jake, everything is, because he’s one of the calmest, most laid-back fellows we’ve ever had in studio for the Morning Show.
