Every Thursday Connecticut Humane Society joins the show to tell us about another pet that needs a home. 

Meet Apollo! He’s an 11-month-old Labrador mix who’s got the good boy thing down pat. Apollo gets along great with other pets... yes, cats and dogs, and is always up for an adventure. He’s still got some growing and learning to do, but with his smart mind and eager-to-please attitude, he’s going to be an amazing companion. Apollo’s size and energy mean he'd do best in a home with kids over 10 and a family ready to keep him active. He’s available at the Connecticut Humane Society’s Westport location, and you can apply online HERE to meet him today!

 Say hello to Fent, the very first mouse for Pet of the Week, and she’s bringing the cuteness in a big way! Fent is a 6-month-old white and pink sweetheart who’s as social as she is adorable. Her previous family could no longer care for her, so she’s now waiting for a fresh start at our Westport location. Mice like Fent are naturally curious and love spending time with humans, and sometimes even other mice (once they sniff out a new friend, of course!). She’ll thrive in a large tank filled with safe tunnels, toys, and cozy corners to nibble and explore. With the right care, she could be your pocket-sized bestie for up to 3 years. Think Fent could be the perfect fit for your family? You can fill out an adoption questionnaire online today!

Every Thursday Connecticut Humane Society joins the show to tell us about another pet that needs a home. 

This week meet Reiki! She's a super cute 1-year-old domestic shorthair mix who came to CHS from local animal control. She's a shy girl, but once she warms up to you she's super playful and cuddly. It'll be important for her new family to be nice and patient with her. 

Here are some more specifics about the type of home she should go to: 

~ I have not had much experience with children but am willing to consider sharing my home with kids who can be gentle and respectful of pets.
~ I have not had much experience with cats or dogs but am willing to consider sharing my home with a furry friend.
~ I am a quiet and reserved kitty. I would prefer a peaceful home.
