 One and welcome to pause. We're hoping that you're getting ready for the holidays like we are and hoping that maybe you're looking for a new pet for Christmas. Yes, yes, everyone needs a new pet for Christmas. We're going to start the show with a very special girl we have here that's sitting on Rosie's lap. This is Lily and Lily is only five years old. She came to the shelter due to the health of her of her person, her caretaker. So evidently someone could no longer take care of her and she was surrendered here to the Sheboygan County Humane Society. As you can see she's enjoying being on Rosie's lap. They said she's a little nervous at first but I think she was just maybe a little shy, but she warmed up right away to Rosie here. She's got a nice thick coat, which it's cold. You need a thick coat. I can't believe how the weather switched, but anyways she does like to be brushed so that's a real positive and I always feel that she needs a little brushing here. Yeah and you know I love to brush my cats. It just gives me that alone relaxed time with them. Oh and the kitties just stretch out. I find it like I said very relaxing for myself. So I guess in addition to brushing her and making her feel good you'll feel good too. Other than that I guess I can't really tell you much about her. She's got a pretty name I think, so just a very nice name. She's probably a little bit overweight and that would go away once she got into a home. Maybe you know she wasn't, if her caretaker wasn't doing very well maybe she just wasn't getting the correct diet you know just the right attention to her dietary needs. A little attention and she'd be just fine. Oh she'd be a great snuggler now with the cold winter coming up. She's loving this snuggling now. She is. She really likes your lap Rosie. So Lily is at the Sheboygan County Humane Society. She's up for adoption. She's looking for a good home and more than anything she'd love to be home for Christmas. So think about that stop in and meet her and I bet you'll fall in love. Well we have another sweet little girl here by the name of Tabitha and it looks like Tabitha came to us in the early part of October so she's been here almost two months. She's a sweet little girl. She's only two years old. She was surrendered to us. Not sure why. She's a snuggler, sorry. She is a sweetie, yes. It says she loves to love. Can you understand? What a sweet. She would make a wonderful family hat. But you need to show them how pretty you are. Yes. It said she will not leave your lap. No she is a good girl. She had babies in a barn. So she's a baby herself. She's very tiny. She is just a tiny girl. She definitely could use a good home. She can be a great family hat. She's a snuggler and she's just as... You know I'm guessing she probably she just has such a laid-back disposition. She probably would get along well with anyone and anything. And she's at the Sheboygan County Humane Society. We're located 3107 North 20th Street in Sheboygan and our phone number is 458-2012. Call us with any questions or better yet stop in and come and see Tabitha. Yes Tabitha. Pretty name too. Yes. And then you can see Lily too. Lily and Tabitha. They might get along. You might want both. They might. Yeah. Both are sweethearts. Well we have asparagus here. I don't know where that name came from. But asparagus is only two years old. Another sweet girl. She had three girls in a row now Rosie. I know. Asparagus came to us as a stray and she wasn't foster care. Excuse me. And now she is looking she's been brought back to the shelter and she's looking for that forever home. She's kind of shy. A little bit. She's kind of skittish but I think I think she'd be already home. But I think she just needs to show them how pretty you are. She just needs to get into a home. A good girl. There look it. Yeah it's a good girl. Yeah she's beautiful she's got. She's got pretty gray fur. Blue don't they call them blue. Yeah they do. She's a very very sweet girl. She is. She seems like a little patient. She seems like a lap cat. Yeah just I mean she doesn't seem like she'd have a mean bone in her body. She just looks like she came into the shelter around the first of October. So she too is looking for a good home if you would like to come in and meet asparagus. We are open Monday through Friday from noon until 6 p.m. We are open on Saturdays from noon until I'm sorry. Yes noon until 4 p.m. Sundays we are closed along with the last Wednesday of each month. You know what else we need to mention is pictures with Santa. Oh but that's coming right up. Yeah. Yeah okay. Unfortunately. So asparagus. She's a sweet girl on Rosie's lap looking for a good home at the Schwagen County Humane Society. Please pay her a visit. We'd love to see you. There's a pretty girl. Yeah. All right. We are switching gears here a little bit. We have a boy kitty by the name of Simba. Simba is five years old and he is an orange and white tabby. They tell us he's a very solid cat which means. He is a very solid cat. Let me tell you. He's friendly but he also enjoys his independence. So he probably would like to do a lot of exploring on his own in your home and probably want to sit by you when he's ready to. So just a nice independent boy. He's all right. Again Simba's five years old. It looks like he came in around the beginning of November. So he's been here about a month. I'm assuming he probably was a stray so I can't really give you any other information on him. But he's a nice nice big boy nice solid boy. He is a big solid boy. And you know those orange those orange kitties are just such great guys. So stop at the Schwagen County Humane Society and meet Simba. Looking for that home for Christmas. Home for the holidays right Simba? Yeah Rosie's falling in love again. Yes I got a good boy. Good boy. She's got a nice boy here by the name of Bruce. All right. Bruce is six years old and he was a stray. He's adorable. And sweet and loving and kind. Look at how curled up he is here already. He too would make a wonderful pet family pet. He's very sweet. He loves to be around people. He's just gentle. And he's been here since September which I don't understand. The only thing I can figure out is if he maybe had an upper respiratory cold and he maybe ended up in our ice award because who could pass him up. Boy I don't know. He's a sweetie. He is. There's a good boy. So again his name is Bruce. And I love I love his color. Look at that. I know. And that's soft. That fur is so soft when they're that buff color like that. I would like to share something with you. We are doing our annual appeal and it's happy holidays. Holidays. So remember when you're working on your Christmas presents to remember the Sheboygan County Humane Society pets here that are looking for good homes. Remember Bruce. Yes we do not receive any funding on other than what we receive in donations. And we have a lot of dogs cats little critters that come through our door every year. Lots of medicine we have to buy. Take care of them. Lots of food and litter. We have to pay all of our dedicated employees. Right. Right. So we have a lot of overhead. We do have volunteers but we still need employees here that are every day that are here every day including holidays and Sundays. So again add to your Christmas list distribution the Sheboygan County Humane Society because on your list we do need your support. Right Bruce. Yes. Yes. You have beautiful eyes. He does. Show them how pretty your eyes are. Look this way. Look at him. Look at the camera. No I guess not. He just wants to snuggle. Meet Bruce. He's a great great kitty. Wonderful home for the holidays. Yes such a good boy. I can't believe the wonderful cats we have. I know. I don't know. I don't know why they're even here yet. Got a little cough. Uh-oh. What you got a little hairball on there? This is Hobbs. Hobbs is three years old. Oh my goodness. What's that? What's that going on there? He was surrendered. He needs one of your cough drops. I know the feeling buddy. Oh dear. You're going to be okay. You'll be okay. Just get it over with. Sorry about that. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Okay. Okay now. Okay. Almost. Almost there. Okay. I think we're done now. Anyway this is a handsome boy. He's got these little white tips on his ears. Yes. He's just adorable. And he has a mask on his face. Let's show him your cute little mask. Yeah. So cute. Supposedly he has a cute real cute meow too. So when he meows it's you'll have to come in and listen to a meow. Yes. We haven't heard it yet. No. I just got a little bit of a cough. Evidently he was surrendered due to not getting along with cats in the house. Oh so he'd probably like to be an only boy. Maybe or maybe the other cats were picking on him. I don't know. Maybe worry was being bullied. Yeah. Yeah. Bullying. Don't they know that that's against the law? Exactly. He is a lap cat. He definitely likes to be held in. He's only three years old. So he's a nice boy. He's a very nice boy. Very nice boy. You gotta look at the camera. Looks like he's been here since about the middle of October. Oh that's too long. It is. It is. That's too long. So please stop in and meet Hobbs. We're located at 3107 North 20th Street in Sheboygan and our phone numbers 4582012. You got a guinea pig. I do. Look at my guinea pig. Now I'm in love. Let's see. I love those little piggies. I just adopted two little guinea pigs. Well they aren't little. They were adults. They were adults. Yeah. Hugo and Hubert from the Sheboygan County Humane Society. Oh listen to you. Are you making squeaky noises? Oh you can't eat the microphone though. Oh you are cute. Her name is Delilah. She's only six months old. I was going to say she's pretty little. She's just a little. Evidently she was given to someone by friends so I think they weren't ready for it. Yeah. They really are fun pets. If you've never owned one. Oh he just, my son has two and he just, as old as he is, he sits and holds his guinea pigs. You're okay. They love to be right where you are. I mean you don't want to stick them off in the corner in a room by themselves. He's okay. They're very social. They want to be where the action is. A lot of conversation going on over here. I guess so. Very easy to take care of. You know you just need a good size cage for them and fruits and veggies. Oh yes we do fruits and veggies and pellets and Timothy hay and of course we have to have a treat every day too by us so we do, ours are spoiled but they are fun. They are really fun especially if you know you don't want the responsibility of a dog or a cat. It's just a good starting out. Yes just a nice little pet to start out with. Right Delilah? Oh you are so cute. Yes you are. You're a little cutie pie. You're a little cutie pie. So six months old Delilah. She needs a good home too. She would love to be part of your Christmas holiday. I wonder if our viewers can hear this. I'm sure they can. Love those little squeaking noises. Yeah you are cute. Very very cute. So stop at the Humane Society and meet Delilah. I'm sure if you are looking for other small critters we've got others here. I think we do yes but Delilah is right out here in the front lobby. In the front yeah. Yeah. Our hour is Monday through Friday. We're open from noon until 6 p.m. Saturdays. We're open from noon until 4 p.m. Sundays. We are closed along with the last Wednesday of each month. As I said before we have many other little critters at the shelter looking for good homes and this is Bradford. Bradford is a parakeet. Pretty bird. Only one year old. Bradford was brought to the Humane Society because the people that adopted him from PetSmart had no time. And birdies do not take that much time. No they don't and I would encourage people to really think about before they adopt a pet from a pet store, the shelter, wherever. If you don't have time please don't put adopt. No. If you don't have time for an animal of any kind. Right. Think about it. Give it a lot of thought. Don't do it. Because it is a commitment. And then they end up back here with us and that's sad. It is and we have our shelter is full. It is very full. Yes. So Bradford, yes what a cutie. A nice nice he's blue. Very pretty. Almost like a turquoise. Yeah. Yeah. And no pretty bird. Maybe basically just need a good diet of a good bird seed and fresh water and a clean cage. And they like like carrots and stuff too don't they? I don't know. I don't know. Well I didn't get those cuddle bones for them. Yes yes. They like they got a little treat. Got a little treat. Got a little toy toy thing in here. So very easy. Gives you. It's like spring every day because you hear the birds sing. There you go. I like that. Yes. So in the dead of winter when you're thinking oh. Will this never end. Yes. You will have a birdie. You would have a bird that would that would sing and talk to you. Yes. Yes. That would be fun wouldn't it. Oh. Hi baby. Are you talking? Are you talking? Yeah. Hi. This is. I know. This is Chongo. He is American Pitbull mix. He's eight years old. Eight. Yeah. I know you wouldn't believe it. He is good with kids over seven. He's good with other dogs. He's perfect. Yeah. He does not want to live with cats. Well. Can't live by me then. Right. He was surrendered to us. He's a big sweetheart. Know some commands. I would try and do it now but I think he's a little too hyper for them. Oh yeah. And he's talkative. Right. Are you talkative? What a sweetie. Yeah he is. Yeah. Yeah. So come eat Chongo. Chongo. I would never guess him to be not that eights old but I thought he was going to be like a year or two. You know he's eight but that's you know the older dogs they're trained and you know they're house trained and I love older dogs. I know. And you know what you're getting. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. You're so friendly. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Chongo. I like the name. That's really unique. Looking for a good home at the Cheboygan County Humane Society. We always got wonderful dogs and gal. Yep. We never know what we're going to get in the door. Nope. And Chongo totally proves it. This is a dog. We just keep getting bigger. Should have seen the expression on my face when they brought Blaze in. But what a handsome guy. Isn't he? This is Blaze. Blaze is a Saint Bernard, a Saint Bernard Doverman mix. He is actually a year old. He came in two months ago at 10 months old. Blaze, can you sit? Don't tell me he was a stray. No. He was surrendered. He was not doing good with the kids in the home but he was young puppy. Okay. So we're looking for older kids with him because of the training. I'm going to get dragged again. Yeah. Blaze, come over here because he is still young. He's still a puppy and with his size, I don't know if the kids were crawling on him or what the deal was. We really don't know. So we're looking for older kids with him. He's good with some other dogs. He likes to pick his doggy friends but so do I. He loves to go for walks. He loves to run around in the yard. He's awesome. Does not want to live with cats. I don't know. I'm just madly in love with him. I wish I could take him home. He's a nice big boy and I always say if you're going to take a dog for a walk, the bigger the better. Right. I'm with you on that one. If you want something small, get a cat. That's right. Or a guinea pig. Or a guinea pig. Which we have. Oh, he is a very nice boy. He's handsome. Yep. He's just awesome. I just love him. Like I said, he is a year but he's still a puppy so he definitely needs training. Definitely leash training with him. But have fun to take him to doggy school. Yeah. I think it would be a lot of fun. Please. And he's got a neat name. Yeah, he does. I like that name. Yes. Oh, wonderful, wonderful boy. Yes. And while I'm thinking of it, I would like to remind everyone we are doing our annual appeal for the animals here at the Sheboygan County Humane Society. Happy holidays. So we would like for you to add to your Christmas distribution list, the Sheboygan County Humane Society. We need money to keep our doors open. We are not funded in any way other than donations. So we would appreciate it if everybody gives a little bit. It all adds up. So please stop at the shelter, mail us money, pick up a card. And we would really appreciate it. We have many bills, medicine, food for the dogs and cats, litter for the cats. And all of our animals come spayed and neutered. Right, right. Microchipped. Yeah. Everyone's been vetted. So it really, we spend a lot of money on our pets that we adopt out. And we hope that you appreciate that and support us. She's crying for her forever home. Oh, we're gonna pull out the heart strings a little bit with her. Cry a little louder. Right, right. Good girl. This is Sally Sue. Sally Sue is a border collie. She is 10 years old. And she came to us as a stray, if you can believe that. So yeah, she really wants to go home. She's good with cats. She's good with dogs. So she would be an awesome family member. Hi, I'm sorry, my in is full. But I'm working there to find you one. So yes, she's very sweet. Loves her food. She's very food motivated. Yeah, you know the word food. And she loves to chase toys. So she's got that border collie in her. You know, yeah. Yeah. So like I said, she came to us as a stray. Hi sweetie. We have no more. We took good babies. So, yes. Oh, is she friendly? She's adorable. Nice girl. Yeah, you are so sweet. So she would make an awesome family pet. And don't let the age fool you. Because she's very, you know, young at heart. Exactly. Exactly. So yeah, definitely come check out Sally Sue. And if you don't see anybody that could just slip. If you don't see anybody that you're looking for, definitely stop in because we never know what's going to walk through that door. I know this time I showed a lot of big dogs, but we do have little or dogs. All shapes, all sizes and all colors. Right? Yes. Yes. Oh, she's a friendly girl. Very, very wonderful. Nice girl. One thing I want to mention before we end the show and before we have our last guest on here. Please, especially with the holidays, parties, everything. You've got lots of aluminum cans coming in that you're using. Don't throw them out in your trash. Please bring them to the Sheboygan County Humane Society and recycle them here. We always have a nice big area in front of the shelter here off to the side. And we just throw them in there. Just do a drive-by, throw them in there. And we really appreciate it. And it all adds up for us here because we do get a lot of donations. And on that note, I'm going to turn it over to Jessie and she's going to show you this or tell you about this nice handsome young man here. We don't need paper. This is Jacks. Jacks is an American Pippo mix. He's as excited as you can tell. It's paper. He is good with other dogs. As you can tell, he is a year old. So he's got that puppy behavior. I'm losing your leash there, buddy. I just need a little bit of dog training. Yeah, you know, I need to go to school. No cats for him. He is good with kids over seven. Friendly, very playful. He came to us as a stray. And as you can see, he's kind of hyper. So he's looking for a family that will wear him out. Maybe take him to the dog park or go for walks. But like I said, he is a puppy still and definitely needs training. And it's a good time to train him, you know. And just an awesome guy, friendly, heavy, go lucky guy looking for that forever home. So definitely come see what we got. He's a beautiful color too. Yeah, he's awesome. Very nice, very nice handsome boy. And one other thing I was going to mention that when you're walking through, especially in the shelter setting, don't judge them by how they act in their cage. Ask to see them out of their cage because a lot of them are very high or they're hiding because they're scared and they are different, different animals once you get them out of the cage. So definitely ask to see them out of the cage and don't, you know, don't just walk by because they're barking at you or they're hiding under their bed or something like that. And the same with cats. Yeah, all animals, you know. This is a stressful environment. Yeah, definitely come visit us. Yes, and we'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. And we thank everyone for your support throughout 2017 and we will look forward to seeing you in the new year. Merry Christmas everyone.
