A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
episode
of
animals
and
Ames.
My
name
is
Ron
Edwards
I'm,
the
animal
control
supervisor
here
for
the
Ames,
Animal,
Shelter
and
animal
control
program.
Our
first
guest
with
us
today
is
the
very
lively
Dexy
OOP
bless
you
Dixie
is
an
English
hound.
She
is
actually
a
transfer
from
to
our
shelter
from
the
Humboldt
County,
who
likes
wet,
rubs,
she's,
a
transfer
from
the
Humboldt
County
Animal
Control
program.
A
She
just
wasn't
getting
enough
look
people
looking
at
her
at
their
facility
and
they
have
such
a
basically
used
a
foster
home
situation.
So
she
wasn't
getting
enough
attention
there
at
their
facility
and
they
asked
us
for
help.
So,
of
course,
if
we
have
the
space
here,
we're
always
going
to
offer
our
help
to
other
shelters
that
are
in
need,
because
clearly,
this
is
a
very
deserving
dog
and
wants
to
tell
her
own
story.
A
A
A
And
our
next
guest
today
is
Rey.
Rey
is
a
very
special
Chihuahua
she's.
Actually,
a
chihuahua
pug
and
french
bulldog
mix
Rey
came
from
a
house
with
23
other
dogs
here
in
names,
and
we
actually
took
an
11
of
these
dogs.
Rey
is
the
last
one
to
find
her
forever
home.
We
are
putting
them
into
foster
homes
before
they
get
spayed
just
to
try
to
get
them
out
of
the
shelter
as
soon
as
possible.
A
These
guys
are
just
really
fearful,
as
you
can
see,
she's
this
shaking
here,
but
a
very
sweet
dog
they're.
Just
really
scared
here
in
this
environment
and
just
really
not
sure,
what's
happening
to
them.
Their
world
has
just
completely
turned
upside
down,
so
we'd
like
to
get
Rey
into
a
forever
home
and
a
foster
home
as
soon
as
possible.
She
is
about
a
little
bit
over
a
year
old.
She
has
not
been
spayed,
but
she,
of
course,
will
be
spayed
before
we
do
the
final
adoption
and
unfortunately,
with
these
guys
they
were
never
potty-trained.
A
She
is
using
the
doggie
pee
pad
on
and
the
shelter
here,
pretty
good.
So
hopefully,
that
will
be
able
to
continue
until
we
can
maybe
teach
her
that
you
want
to
do
potty
all
that
business
outside.
So
again,
this
is
Rey
she's
just
a
year
old,
so
she's
got
a
long,
long
life
ahead
of
her
and
hopefully
a
life
where
she
can
just
kind
of
be
with
her
family
and
get
all
the
loving
that
she
needs
again.
She's
very
scared.
So
you
want
to
go
really
slow
with
her
and
just
give
her
lots
of
patience.
A
Lots
of
love.
So
if
you
think
that
Rey
might
be
good
for
you
and
your
family
I
would
not
recommend
these
dogs
with
children
so
come
on
down
to
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter
we'd
love
to
talk
to
you
more
about
them
and
we
truly
want
only
serious
adopters
coming
and
we're
not
going
to
take
Rey
out
for
everybody.
But
if
you're
really
serious
about
adopting
Rey
every
time
we
go
to
get
them,
they're
not
used
to
a
leash,
it's
very
scary
for
them.
A
A
Even
when
these
cats
that
haven't
been
socialized
or
adopted
into
regular
homes
after
they
have
been
socialized
and
worked
with
here
at
the
shelter,
they
always
tend
to
be
kind
of
those
scaredy
cats
that
when
someone
comes
over
and
it
kind
of
loud
noise,
they
tend
to
hide
and
such
and
the
good
thing
is
at
least
these
guys
are
safe
and
they're
going
to
be
safe
with
us
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
So
the
way
our
working
cat
works
is
that
we
get
these
guys,
spayed
or
neutered
depending
on
what
sex
they
are.
A
We
have
them
tested
for
feline,
leukemia
and
feline
AIDS,
also
known
as
FIV,
and
make
sure
that
they're
negative
for
both
of
those
diseases
get
them
vaccinated,
dewormed
and
a
flea
treatment
on
board
with
them
before
they
can
be
adopted
out
to
a
working
situation
or
a
barn
home.
So
what
we're
looking
for,
typically
with
those
are
cats
that
are
going
to
live
outside
of
the
Ames
community,
like
on
a
farm
as
we
know,
there's
a
lot
of
farms
around
us
here
that
need
help
with
rodent
control.
A
Now
the
goal
is
with
these
cats
that
they're
always
provided
adequate
food,
water,
making
sure
the
water
is
not
freezing
during
the
winter
I'm
making
sure
they
have
lots
of
water
during
our
hot
summer
months
here
in
Iowa,
so
there's
no
charge
the
adoption
fee
for
these
guys
is
waived,
so
we
actually
put
quite
a
bit
of
money
into
these
guys
to
get
them
spayed
and
neutered
vaccinated
and
everything
that's
done
before
they
go
home,
but
the
alternative
is
euthanizing.
These
cats
that
haven't
been
socialized
for
with
people
and
that's
just
not
acceptable.
A
So
if
you
have
a
farm
situation,
some
kind
of
a
out
building
thing
like
that,
where
these
cats
can
be
provided
with
shelter
during
the
harsh
elements
here
in
Ames
and
in
Iowa,
come
on
down,
we
would
love
to
show
you
our
working
cats.
We
have
several
of
them
right
now,
at
least
eight
of
them
currently
at
the
shelter
we're
going
to
start
to
do
a
big
push
to
try
to
get
these
working
cats
adopted
out
of
the
shelter.
A
A
So
it's
been
a
challenging
summer,
so
to
speak,
for
us
here
at
the
shelter
trying
to
deal
with
and
take
care
of
and
provide
the
high
standards
of
care
that
we
expect
for
all
of
these
cats
and
kittens
here
at
the
shelter.
We
also
have
27
kittens
that
are
still
in
foster
care,
so
it's
58
here
at
the
shelter
27
still
in
foster
care.
So
it's
been.
It's
been
a
challenging
summer
if
you're
interested
in
adopting
a
cat,
we'd
love
to
have
people
come
down
and
adopt
from
us.
A
Please
share
this
with
your
friends
on
Facebook
any
way
possible.
You
can
help
get
people
down
here
to
the
shelter.
Do
that
we're
going
to
be
having
a
special
adoption
promotion,
I
would
say
within
the
very
short
in
a
short
period
of
time,
but
want
to
let
people
know
that
any
time
we
waive
adoption
fees
or
we
have
reduced
adoption
fees,
we're
still
going
to
have
our
strict
criteria
for
adoptions
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
A
So
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
cats
that
are
here
at
the
shelter
go
to
indoor
homes
that
they're
not
declawed.
Those
are
all
things
that
are
very
important
to
us
and
our
adopters
here.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
all
that
will
happen
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
Even
when
we
have
adoption
promotions
for
the
cats
and
the
kittens
here
at
the
shelter,
we
also
have
a
very
special
kitty
named
whisper
and
we're
going
to
be
putting
together
a
fundraiser
to
try
and
get
whispered
to
a
sanctuary.
A
Whisper
is
a
declawed
cat
that
came
to
us.
The
owner
had
some
challenges
of
her
own
medical
issues
that
she
had
to
deal
with.
Whisper
is
one
of
those
cats
that
will
not
hesitate
to
bite.
He
does
not
have
the
defense
mechanism
of
the
claws
anymore
because
those
were
declawed,
so
he
tends
to
bite
so
in
reality,
whisper
is
not
an
adoptable
cat
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter,
but
unfortunately,
due
to
the
surgery
that
was
performed
on
him
at
least
possibly
that
was
performed
on
him
again.
He
tends
to
bite.
A
It
is
a
$1500
transfer
fee,
so
we're
gonna
try
to
put
together
a
fundraiser,
so
we
can
save
whispers
life
and
send
him
off
to
a
sanctuary
where
he
can
live
the
rest
of
his
life
with
people
that
understand
cat
behavior,
understand
cats
that
have
been
declawed
and
we'll
make
sure
that
he
can
live
out
as
long
as
he
wants
to
live
in
that
environment,
so
at
a
great
sanctuary
that
we're
working
with.
But
we
need
to
be
able
to
get
him
there
to
that.
A
$1500
is
a
lot
of
money,
but
if
a
lot
of
individuals
pitch
in
small
amounts
we'll
get
to
that
1,500
and
whisper,
we'll
be
out
of
the
shelter
which
will
open
up
another
cage
here
at
the
shelter,
because
we
are
so
full,
but
Whisperer
deserves
every
chance
at
life
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
he
has
that
so
keep
an
eye
on
our
videos.
For
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
whisper
more
often
and
again,
just
all
the
cats
that
we
have
here
at
the
shelters
so
come
on
down
and
adopt
a
kitty.
Today,.
