Every Thursday Connecticut Humane Society joins the show to tell us about another pet that needs a home. This week we are meeting Sadie! If you’re looking for a lively and lovable new companion, let us introduce you to Spectacular Sadie! This three-month-old tan and black beauty is a mixed breed with a big personality. Expected to weigh up to 44 pounds when fully grown, Sadie is full of energy and eager to find a home that can keep up with her playful spirit. Sadie would thrive in a household with children over the age of ten who understand how to be gentle and respectful with pets. She’s still learning the ropes of being a well-mannered pup, so continued obedience training will be essential for her growth. While she hasn’t had much experience with other dogs, she may be open to making a new canine friend—pending a proper meet and greet, of course!

Every Thursday Connecticut Humane Society joins the show to tell us about another pet that needs a home.  This week we are meeting Ruth and May! They're two bonded bunnies looking for a loving home together.  Here's a little bit about them:  Names: Ruth & May Age: 1 year, 1 month Location: Westport Branch Area: Rabbit Kennel Rabbits make wonderfully social family pets! However, be sure to familiarize yourself with their care and enrichment needs before adopting. Although relatively easy to care for once you know how, rabbits do require more attention than most people typically think. Rabbits may be able to live in pairs. When bonded, they will groom each other and snuggle together for companionship. Solo rabbits will need more human social time than pairs. Curious and social, rabbits do benefit from a lot of time out of their cage and can be litter box trained so they can roam freely in a safe environment. While rabbits vary greatly in size, the average rabbit may weigh approximately 5 pounds and
