Thank you so much, guys, the apollo 50 festival is in full swing. Coming up, tommy mcfly has a preview, ere now less than a month away from clear the shelters pet adoion event. Puppies and kittens are great, but an older dog or c might actually be a better fit for your home. Maureen sosa from the Humane Rescue Alliance is here to explain why. And she brought some great examples. Who did you bring with you today . Little chichi here and beef patty down here. Beef patty is an english bulldog . Yes. How old is he . Hes about 7 years old. But super friendly, and i guess some of the a antages of the older dogs, theyre a little low key, and can be a little less work. Yeah, i was surprised, he has quite a bit of energy and quite a bit of sponge, so does chi chi here. A lot of times the older dogs can be house broken and a little more laid back, which is definitely more my style of dog. How old is chi chi here . Ot 8 years old. Shes still a l of fun, great little dog. And still has energy to do walks, but then will come home n and sleep the couch with you. Thats the advantage of a little dog for sure. I guess it depends on the tteed. Especially the li dogs like chihuahuas can make 13, 14, 5 years old. This is really the o middle life. She still runs around and will play, loves other dogs. Dogs, to play with other can still do a lot of the fun stuff of a younger dog, but again at the end of the day, you know, can be a little more laid back. And as is always the case with the pets you adopt out there, theyre all going to be spade or neutered as well, thats good news. Clear the shelters is coming up, less than a month away, tell us about clear the shelters. If you want to wait to get a pet. That may be a Good Opportunity . Yeah, absolutely, clear the shelters is a big adoption event where we try to get as manys animalnto homes as possible. There will be a lot of great animals like these guys. Puppies, you name it. People think, you can only get a puppy or a kitten. You get adult dogs. I discovered doing it over the last year, theres rabbits, turtles, t birds,he whole menagerie of the Animal Kingdom is available. Gui,a pigs you probably got it. If youre thinking of something specific, check the shelter first, we just might have it i wesh to clear the shelters, very goodluck. I hope that beef patty and chi chi have success getting adopted hopefully before clear the shelters. For more information you might need, it takes place august 17th.
