We’ve got the cutest little turkey you could ever hope to meet for our Thanksgiving Pet Connection. Obie, a pit bull-type cross with cuddles to spare, was surrendered by his owner when that person couldn’t care for him following Obie’s seizure diagnosis. But he hasn’t let his heartbreak stand in the way of his ability to give affection to folks….
Ladies’ man Perkins has it all: the charm, the warmth, the playfulness, the ability to attract women from all corners of the studio. The four-month old kitten came in to visit live on the air with Heather Klefstad of Homeward Animal Shelter and the Morning Show’s Emily Welker, and was quickly covered in lipstick marks from all the ladies. Perkins…
Call him an incognito superhero. This little dog, a miniature pinscher named Mighty Mouse, makes a big noise against intruders but could more or less snuggle up in your pocket with the right introductions. The four-year-old min-pin came to Diamond in the Ruff rescue after his owner died recently. They, in turn, brought the little guy in to join the…
It’s not a coincidence that lovely Lo, our Pet Connection dog of the week, has a name that starts with the first two letters of the word love. Because a love she is. Lo is a mixed breed Maltese Shih Tzu mix about four years old who joined the Morning Show’s Emily Welker live in studio along with rescuer Karen…
When you meet Benji, chances are, he’ll give you a grin that lights up the whole room.

Benji’s smile hides a…
A visit from Sunshine couldn’t be any better-timed. This snowy Thursday, Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad brought Sunshine the orange tabby in to visit live in-studio with the Morning Show’s Emily Welker. Sunshine was surrendered to a pound after her family found they couldn’t care for her any longer, and she’s impressed her handlers at the shelter with her sweet,…
Eve’s got a beautiful, silky, pitty-type face people love to stroke, but you might want to hold off on that for awhile — she’s still a little sore. Because from first glance, you’d never believe this beautiful girl who joined the Morning Show’s Emily Welker live in-studio was the same dog who came in to the 4 Luv of Dog…
As charming as the cartoon character was named for, Boots — or Puss in Boots, as most of us know the Spanish-accented character from the “Shrek” movies — visited the KVRR Morning Show studios for a live chat with the Morning Show’s Emily Welker and Diamond in the Ruff volunteer Ryan Keel. Boots is a roughly five-month-old kitten found wandering…
Yogi is one smart little cookie, smart enough so that you’d probably better keep an eye on the laundry basket while he’s around. The 1-year-old Shi Tzu mix came to Diamond in the Ruff rescue after his owner died, and among his many charming and goofy attributes is a certain nonchalance about hosiery ownership. That is, he steals your socks…
Robin is a cat who comes to Homeward Animal Shelter after being rescued from the local pound, and she’s the perfect example of why it’s so great to have the help of rescue workers when you’re choosing a new pet to bring home.
