He may come in a pint-sized package, but Pascal packs a lot of personality into it. The 2-year-old Chihuahua was rescued by Homeward Animal Shelter from a local pound, and he visited live in-studio on the KVRR Morning Show Emily Welker, along with Homeward rescue worker Heather Clyde. The pair arrived on the set just ahead of the shelter’s annual…

Center for Avian Adoption, Rescue and Education rescue worker…
Just as the fall colors start to show themselves and we all start thinking about Halloween on the horizon, a black cat turns up who’s as sweet as a piece of Halloween candy.
