Pet Connection

Pet Connection: Meet Daxton

He's got us on a sugar high.

For a dog as sweet as his breed look no further than Daxton the chocolate lab. He’s high energy, affectionate, always up for a game, and just as goofy as his breed’s reputation would have it. He’s also very well behaved, gets along well with other dogs, kennel trained, and getting over Parvovirus like a champ. Labs are bred to…

Pet Connection: Meet Gru

His minions at Kritter Krazy say it's time you found out how sweet he is.

This week’s pet comes to us out of one of the most successful animated movie franchises of all time. But unlike his namesake… this guy is not grumpy. He’s actually a pretty smiley guy, just like the rest of his species. Say hello to Gru the leopard gecko, who’s introduced to us on this week’s Pet Connection by his human…

Pet Connection: Meet Nyx

Get your fix of cute with Nyx.

This time of year there’s something about the weather that just energizes you. And getting outside to enjoy it is much better with an animal friend. So this week, we’re bringing you a critter who’s got just as much spunk, sparkle and sweetness as the wonderful spring weather. Not to mention, she’s just as pretty. Nyx is a five-year-old terrier…

Pet Connection: Meet Bogart

Talk about tall, dark, and handsome.

A big star is making his debut this morning on Pet Connection. With rugged appeal and good looks, big guy Bogart is a mastiff cross who made his way to Homeward Animal Shelter via a brief stop first at the local animal pound. As you can see from the video of him with Homeward’s Heather Klefstad, Bogart is a lot…

Pet Connection: Meet Saint

He's the longest rescue animal at Kritter Krazy, in more ways than one.

Last weekend, a lot of you were probably spending your St. Patrick’s Day celebrating in downtown Fargo. In spite of St. Patrick’s famous snake-ridding skills, there’s one in our region no one’s managed to move along yet. And this Saint — a Ball python — has the patience of a Saint. He’s Kritter Krazy’s longest rescue, having been there without…

Pet Connection: Meet Popsicle

It's a real treat to introduce you to this cat.

The weather is warming up this weekend, and it’s the perfect time to break out the cool, sweet treats for your family. So why not break this sweet and delightful Popsicle out of the shelter? This cool character is neutered orange male adult with a wonderful, affectionate personality. Popsicle  is better suited for cuddling up to a family of adults,…

Pet Connection: Meet Chance

Give a guinea pig a chance to make your life pretty great.

They’re the only animal rescue in the Fargo metro area that specifically serves reptiles and exotic pets. And this morning, they’re up to their eyeballs in small animals, including seven guinea pigs. Since seven is supposed to be a lucky number, let’s introduce you to one of them. His name is Chance. He’s got a beautiful long coat, loves to…

Pet Connection: Meet Sadie

A saucy Siamese with personality to match her pretty face.

Siamese cats are widely known for their beauty, including their often-blue eyes and their lovely, distinctive markings, which come in a variety of shades. This week’s cat is more than just a pretty face, though. Sadie the Siamese comes to us from Homeward Animal Shelter, and Homeward’s Heather Klefstad says you’d never know she’s a senior kitty. She’s got the…

Pet Connection: Meet Collin

Those eyes are callin' you to be his new best friend.

(NOTE: The above video has an incorrect graphic within it. This story is about a fundraiser for 4 Luv of Dog, not for Homeward Animal Shelter.) Collin is celebrating an extra-special Thanksgiving this year, because he almost didn’t make it there. The big, black Labrador retriever cross was languishing in a Tulsa, Oklahoma shelter, next on the list to be…

Pet Connection: Meet Guess

We're taking the guesswork out of finding the right pet for you.

It’s anyone’s guess why this guy hasn’t been adopted yet. Guess, a darling 17-week-old orange tabby, comes to us for this week’s Pet Connection by way of Homeward Animal Shelter. And if you’re needing some extra cuddles from a cute kitten this week what with all the election upheaval going on, Guess is your guy. Just take a look at…
