FARGO — They’re a lucky little bunch of babies, because this band of brothers with all-Irish-themed names is being raised in a safe, loving foster home after their mother was taken in by a brand-new pet rescue established in Fertile, MN. It’s called Smiley’s Rescue, and it’s a 5013c nonprofit established by a woman in her early 20s who’s got…
FARGO — Licorice is a noteworthily divisive candy, but in spite of her shiny black coat, Licorice may be misnamed, because this dog has something to appeal to practically everybody. She’s a one-and-a-half-year-old pit bull mix, and as you can see, she’s got that great big pittie smile and that sweet, cuddly, pittie personality. She has the distinctive forehead wrinkles…
FARGO — Fajitas might start off a little cooler than her namesake dish, but once you give her a minute to warm up, she can serve all the cuddles you want. She came to Pet Connection by way of Homeward Animal Shelter, who got her from the pound, according to Homeward’s Heather Klefstad. They think she’s about a year old,…
MOORHEAD — If you missed out on getting enough hugs and kisses this Valentine’s day, don’t worry, because Sparkler has you covered. She’s a young Labrador mix who’s lived most of her life at 4 Luv of Dog shelter in Fargo-Moorhead, and she loves to greet people with big hugs and kisses right away. She came to them as a…
FARGO — It’s a real puzzle to us why this cute little Rubix — as in Rubik’s cube — hasn’t been adopted yet. He came in to 4 Luv of Dog rescue from the pound, and while they’re not sure exactly what breeds make up his genetic heritage, judging from his blocky face, there might be some Rottweiler going on…
FARGO — There’s a saying amongst folks who work on camera for a living that you have to “know your angles.” Mickey might not officially be working as on-camera talent (darn that SAG-AFTRA strike) but he sure loves the camera, and it loves him right back. And so does most of the staff on the KVRR Morning Show, because the…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
