Pet Connection

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Jasper

A sweet survivor with a story to tell and a lot of love to give.

Jasper’s story is one he almost didn’t live to tell on Pet Connection. Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad says he came in as a stray, and severely underweight — only about six pounds on his full-grown, 13-year-old frame. Homeward workers also realized his back legs weren’t coordinating when he walked, and worked with the veterinarian to find out what the…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Carly

She's a lady AND a tiger.

  They call her tiger, but in spite of her coat, this week’s Pet Connection is all dog. A lot of dog, in fact. Her name is Carly, and she comes to us from 4 Luv of Dog in the metro. She was given up by her owner, and the shelter volunteers believe she’s an American bulldog mix, possibly with…

Pet Connection: Meet Jude

Remember to let him into your heart.

Since we only have an hour on the Morning Show instead of our usual two hours, this week’s Pet Connection is a short one. But that’s okay, because this week’s pet is a very short horse. His name is Jude and he’s dang near irresistible. He’s saddle-trained, and very bright. However, he was left pretty much to his own devices…

Pet Connection: Meet Scotch

He's handsome. He's sweet. He loves to snuggle and talk. Basically, he's the perfect guy.

There have been a lot of great pets who’ve come through the Morning Show studio for Pet Connection, but there have only been one or two it’s been hard for the anchor to let go of to go home to the shelter. Scotch is one of them. This beautiful 3-year-old tabby came to Homeward Animal Shelter from our local pound,…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Mr. Timms

A little Mister with a lot of mischief in him.

If you’re looking for lively you won’t find anyone more fun than Mr. Timms. This little guy came to visit us at the KVRR Morning Show with Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad. The little black domestic shorthair kitten is only six months old, and he already has all the kitten personality you could ever ask for. He’s only been at…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Arlene

A champion cuddler and conversationalist.

Arlene is a cat with a lot to say, and a lot of love to give. She’s been in the Homeward Animal Shelter for 104 days now, and so it’s understandable she’s seen a lot and wants to comment on it. The pretty, personable almost-8-year old tortoiseshell domestic shorthair isn’t just full of sweet words of endearment for a potential…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Marley

Looks, brains and personality make Marley quite a catch.

This dog’s pictures, and video, just don’t do her justice. The girl with the sleek, shining gray coat and soulful light brown eyes is about as elegant a pittie as we’ve ever seen. Marney is a 2-year-old pit bull terrier who came into the 4 Luv of Dog shelter from the Wahpeton pound. Rescue workers aren’t sure about much of…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Hammy

Moon Over My Hammy, if you want to be formal about it.

Handsome Hammy the pit bull is looking for a forever home on this week’s live in-studio Pet Connection, and he is a real hunk of love. The 2-year-old young gentleman was found in the Wahpeton pound and brought back to the metro by rescuers at 4 Luv of Dog shelter. Cindy Holtan brought the sturdy, cuddly fellow in with her…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Leonard

Lovely Leonard is live in studio!

They don’t come much more lovable than Leonard — or more lovely, for that matter. He made the rounds asking all of us in the studio for pets and scratches when he came in with Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad. At about three and a half, Leonard is about the easiest age you can adopt a dog at. He’s done…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Toad

We're toad-ally excited about meeting this little puppy.

She’s named for one-half of one of the most famous friend duos in children’s literature, and when you meet little Toad the puppy, you’ll see why. It’s clear from her cuddly and affectionate personality all Toad wants is a new friend to take her home forever. Toad and her brother, Frog, came in together to the Homeward Animal Shelter. She’s…
