B
Hi
well
once
again,
like
I,
said
I'm
Mike,
Hart
and
I'm
here
today
to
help
out
with
adoption.
So
what
we
have
here
is
Spike
spike
is
a
little
over
two
years
old.
You
can
see.
He
is
a
very
energetic
guy
I
put
my
hands
in
his
mouth
look.
He
is
good
with
everybody.
He
loves
to
play
and
look
at
this,
and
the
sad
thing
is
Spike
was
given
up
twice
now,
who
would
take
this
guy
and
give
him
up?
Look
at
that.
B
I've
seen
him
here
just
a
little
bit
of
time
and
there's
plenty
of
animals
like
Spike.
That
would
be
perfect
for
people
at
home,
but
the
main
thing
is
the
right
home.
We
don't
want
somebody
to
just
take
Spike
and
you
know
he
gets
home
and
then
you
don't
want
him
anymore.
You
know
these
are
family
members.
These
are
very
personal,
personal
things
to
us
and
you
can
see
here
with
how
he
plays
and
everything
that
he's
great
for
the
family,
but
he's
a
big
dog
right,
so
he
needs
he
needs
to
run.
B
A
C
C
B
He's
high
energy
I
mean
you
can
see
he
likes
to
play.
So
you
know,
if
you
have
young
family
members,
he
likes
to
play
and
I
want
to
tell
you
a
great
thing
about
the
shelter
you
know
when
we
put
the
shelter
in
place,
it
was
so
needed
because
we
didn't
have
anything
like
this
dogs
were
being
put
down,
cats
were
being
put
down
and
the
atmosphere
that
that
and
everybody
involved,
the
shelter
has
created,
is
a
very
loving
caring
atmosphere.
So
when
you
get
your
next
family
member,
there
was
no
harsh
area.
B
All
that
is
vetted
through
there.
They're
healthy
they're,
ready,
they're
ready
for
homes,
and
we
just
couldn't
bear
seeing
these
animals
put
down
on
the
level
that
they
were
they're
not
kept
outside
in
the
Heat
or
in
the
cold.
It
is
a
very,
very
friendly,
Humane
atmosphere,
and
but
what
we
don't
want
is
to
get
so
any
animals
that
we
that
we
have
problems
and
I
know
it's
it's
very
easy
to
want
to
go
out
and
buy
a
certain
animal
whatever.
What
I
would
say
is
give
these
guys
a
chance.
B
C
D
We
are
going
to
talk
about
welcoming
a
new
puppy
into
your
home
and
the
vaccines
they
need
when
puppies
are
born.
They
should
nurse
from
mom
until
they
are
at
least
four
weeks
of
age.
At
that
point,
mom
will
begin
the
weaning
process
and
the
puppies
will
occasionally
nurse
while
also
starting
to
eat
food.
D
Many
breeders
and
rescues
will
start
to
place
puppies
into
their
new
homes
around
eight
to
nine
weeks
of
age.
At
this
age,
the
puppies
should
be
on
solid
food
and
able
to
be
separated
from
their
mothers
puppies.
Just
like
small
children
require
multiple
immunizations
to
prevent
serious,
sometimes
deadly
diseases.
D
When
you
bring
home
an
eight-week-old
puppy
most
likely,
they
will
have
already
had
one
round
of
vaccination.
This
vaccine
is
casually
called
the
distemper
shot,
but
it
does
much
more
than
that.
This
vaccine,
more
accurately
called
a
dapp
or
dhpp
vaccine,
helps
your
puppy
build
immunity
against
multiple
viruses.
D
D
D
Veterinarians,
recommend
vaccinating
a
puppy
under
four
months
of
age,
with
the
distemper
vaccine,
every
three
to
four
weeks
to
ensure
that
the
puppy
is
able
to
build
up
their
own
immunity
by
the
time.
What's
passed
down
for
mom
wears
off
at
three
months,
old
puppies
can
get
their
first
rabies
vaccine.
B
How
about
that
Dr
Hathaway?
Isn't
she
something
and
right
here
I
have
Turtle
Kitty?
How
about
that
name?
Turtle
Kitty
wasn't
taking
care
of
the
way
that
he
should
be
taken
care
of
you,
you
shouldn't
you
shouldn't
ever
treat
any
animal
that
the
way
you
wouldn't
treat
yourself
and
at
our
animal
shelter.
We
have
cat
condos
now
think
about
this.
You
see
all
these
cats
everywhere.
Not
only
was
it
enough
to
have
a
safe
place,
but
we
have
cat
condos.
B
They
have
their
own
little
condo
to
hang
out
they're
all
taken
care
of,
just
as
they
were
our
own.
This
is
how
we
treat
them
all
it's
just
as
this
was
our
own
family
member
and
his
hair
is
starting
to
grow
back.
Like
I
say
he
wasn't
treated
the
way
he
should
have
been,
but
he's
in
a
safe
place,
now
he's
in
a
good
track
and
he
would
love
to
have
a
permanent
home.
You
can
see
how
I
just
met
him
today
and
look
at
this.
You
know
you're
home
by
yourself
alone.
B
What
a
better
companion
than
right
there
I
mean.
Look
at
that
you
know,
and
all
he
wants
is
somebody
to
love
him.
The
way
he'll
love
you
and
that's
all
he
wants.
So
once
again,
it's
not
just
dogs,
but
we
have
cats
and
sometimes
a
lot
of
different
things.
But
today
you
know
like
say
we're
focusing
on
Spike
and
turtle
Kitty
how
you
got
that
name,
I,
don't
know,
but
apparently
it
doesn't
bother
you
and
so
how
many
cats
do?
How
many
cats
do
you
think
we
have
right
now.
B
Are
you
exploring
my
buddy
yeah
yeah,
see
he's
a
little
thin,
but
he
will
eat
if
he
gets
in
a
safe
home.
You
know
when,
when
you're,
when
you're
in
environments,
that
you're
not
sure
of
you,
get
scared
and
you
can
see,
he's
thin
but
he's
healthy,
he
just
needs.
He
needs
a
good
home.
Somebody
love
him.
He
will
he'll
fatten
back
up
and
you
know,
but
he
just
he
just
needs
some
attention.
He.
B
Guys,
if
somebody
at
home
watching
this-
and
they
want
to
see
some
of
the
pets
that
we
have
available
and
find
out
times
and
stuff
to
to
maybe
see
them,
see
them
on.
You
know
on
video
to
look
at
or
pictures
and
how
would
it?
How
would
they
go
about
that
if
they
said
you
know,
I
want
to
adopt
one
of
these
animals?
What
would
they
do
so.
C
C
B
B
B
B
C
Walk
me
through
that,
a
little
bit
depending
on
the
animal
so
you'll
have
to
fill
out
adoption
questionnaire
just
little
basic
information.
Then
we
can
do
a
meet
and
greet,
and
so
it
just
depends
on.
If
you
own
your
home,
you
might
need
landlord
approval,
something
like
that
and
then
sometimes
their
majority
of
the
time
they
are
available
to
leave
that
day.
Sometimes
they
still
need
to
be
spayed
or
neutered,
so
they're
on
a
schedule
for
that,
and
then
you
can
just
pick
them
up
the
day
after
they're,
spayed
or
neutered.
If.
A
C
A
B
True,
it's
just
not
always
so
we
I
have
three
adopted
pets
and
the
oldest
one
that
I
have
he
gets
cranky.
So
we
had
to
make
sure
when
we
got
the
newest
one
that
that
they
were
compatible
and
he's
just
a
lot
of
bark
but
no
bite.
You
know
but
like
so
we
have
three
rescues
and
it's
important
because
they
don't
always
get
along
and.
A
A
D
C
B
That's
why
I
put
my
hand
in
Spike's
mouth
yeah.
We
saw
it,
you
know
and
oh
yeah
yeah
I
mean
yeah,
so
you
know
hey
I'd
rather
rather
invite
me
yeah.
Then
you
know
than
you
know
and
then
go
home
with
somebody.
That's
right,
you
know,
and
you
could
see
he
was,
and
you
see
flop
right
on
his
back
and
he
was
all
so.
