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…

Pet Connection: Meet Gomez

You'll love him as much as Gomez Addams loves Morticia.

Fans of the “mysterious and spooky, ” as the song goes, we may have a match for you in little Mr. Gomez. This beautiful boy comes to us for this week’s Pet Connection courtesy of Kritter Krazy Reptile and Exotic pet rescue. He’s a ball python, which are some of the easiest to care for and handle species of snakes….

Pet Connection: Meet Boone

He could be your "Boone" companion.

Boone is a handsome sweetheart with a shy personality that means he’ll need an extra helping hand to come out of his shell. The good-looking guy really needs it, too. He’s been stuck in the shelter now for more than a year and a half. Specifically, Thursday the 16th is his 629th day with Homeward Animal Shelter. No cat wants…

Pet Connection: Meet Napoleon

This guy can definitely conquer your heart.

The shelters are strapped for space this morning. They’re dealing with a lot more animals coming in homeless than usual. It’s the opposite of where we were last year, with all kinds of people looking to adopt for the first time. On the plus side — if you’re looking for a new furry family member, you’ve got a lot to choose…

Pet Connection: Meet Milano

She's one smart cookie.

Talk about a sweet deal. There’s not much on this earth that’s better than a brand-new puppy. In fact, one of the only things better is a well-behaved brand new puppy — something that’s not so easy to come by. This week, we found one for you. Her name’s Milano, and she’s an eight-month-old German Shepherd mix from 4 Luv…
