Pet Connection: Meet Bunny

CASSELTON, N.D. — Bunny’s hopping her way into the studio with hopes of a furever home for Easter as high as her very impressive vertical leap. She’s been sitting in foster now for more than 200 days, ever since she and a puppy were rescued from where someone abandoned them in a locked in a trailer in rural Barnes County….

Pet Connection: Meet Marie and Pete

WEST FARGO — Marie and Pete are babies in green-cheeked conure years, and they’re just as bright, energetic and full of personality as you’d find in any other little one in the animal kingdom — perfect for an eager parrot parent-to-be. They came in as a bonded pair to the shelter and it’s surprising no one’s adopted them yet, since…

“Best in Show” at the Fargo Theatre

FARGO — Here at KVRR, we try to put on a good show for you. And now, in downtown, you can catch the very best — with a collaboration between two of the region’s favorite nonprofits. The Fargo Theatre is screening the film classic “Best in Show” starring the late Catherine O’Hara in one of her most iconic roles. And…

Pet Connection: Meet Guthrie

FARGO — He’s listed as a shepherd/husky cross, but there are some varying opinions about what Guthrie’s genetic background might be — Akita being top amongst the speculated backgrounds of this charming and handsome boy. Whatever his breed background, if you adopt him, you’d be getting a darn near perfect companion whose kisses are as delightful as his taste for…

Pet Connection: Meet McDonald

FARGO — McDonald may not have a farm of his own, but he’s just as much fun as a farm full of animals all by himself. He’s only about a year old, and has lots of playful kitten energy to spare, but for some reason, he’s as gentle and well-mannered as a cat much older than that. He came to…

Pet Connection: Meet Babka and Snowflake

FARGO — If you’ve ever had a newborn in your life, you probably remember just how much work they can be. The long, sleepless nights, the frequent crying, the feedings every couple of hours. And for the volunteers of Cat’s Cradle, that’s what they do every time someone brings in someone like little Snowflake. He was born prematurely two weeks…

Pet Connection: Meet Jupiter

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — He’s named after a planet that’s pretty far distant from ours. But little Jupiter the Malamute/shepherd cross wants nothing more than to be as near to you as possible, at all times. The volunteers at Journey Home Animal Rescue say the year-old puppy has only been with them a few short weeks, but he’s already settling…

Pet Connection: Meet Iris

FARGO — Iris’s is a story of survival and flourishing in spite of harsh conditions, a little like the tough and lovely flowers she’s named after. She comes to Pet Connection from Journey Home rescue in Grand Forks, and they took her in from a puppy mill situation. While the people who had her claimed her health was good, it…

Spay It Forward Expands

FARGO — The temperatures here during winter can make surviving the streets a matter of chance for homeless pets. Now, you’ve got a chance to apply for a low-cost program to spay or neuter yours. Minn-Kota Paaws is a local pet welfare group that works to spay and neuter strays, feral cats, and other animals in the region to keep…

Pet Connection: Meet Eve

BOTTINEAU, N.D. — Eve came in to the Kritter Krazy shelter Christmas Eve and she’s still only four months old. Rescue founder Tasha Gorentz says she was out that day doing some outreach in the community and someone handed the little dog over to her, saying they couldn’t care for the puppy anymore and asking her to find her a…
