A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
episode
of
animals
and
aims.
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
Abner.
Abner
is
a
beautiful,
French
lop
here
the
lop
comes
from
the
ears
like
this.
You
see
him
fed
well
that
shows
up
on
the
camera,
but
he's
got
the
years
that
go
down
there
and
that's
where
they
get
the
lot
from.
He
is
a
French
lop,
black
and
white.
A
He
came
in
to
us
in
pretty
bad
shape.
Abner
was
extremely
thin.
He's
had
some
he
has
hair
loss.
All
of
that
is
starting
to
improve
we're
getting
some
weight
on
him.
The
day
that
he
came
in,
we
actually
made
an
emergency
appointment
at
our
partner
vet
Somerset
vet
hospital.
To
take
him
in
for
immediate
care.
We
were
not
real
sure
that
he
was
going
to
make
it
when
he
came
in
again,
very
emaciated.
Very
thin
just
had
not
had
good
nutrition.
A
Who
knows
how
long
he
had
been
out
there?
It
was
after
one
of
the
snow
storms
that
we
had
so
he
had
been
out
there,
probably
let
loose
at
some
point
and
the
owners
never
tried
to
get
him
or
they
purposely
let
him
loose,
which
is
very
unfortunate
for
these
guys,
as
I've
said
before,
these
domesticated
rabbits,
when
you
set
them
free
that
doesn't
make
them
free.
That
makes
them
food
for
other
wild
animals,
and
things
like
that,
so
domestic
rabbits
always
need
to
be
kept
indoors.
Hutch
is
not
an
appropriate
environment
for
them.
A
We
have
set
up
here
at
the
shelter
that
we
love
to
show
people
for
them,
they're
very
sensitive
to
the
extreme
weathers,
whether
it's
extremely
warm
or
cold,
and,
of
course,
here
in
Iowa,
we
have
both
of
those.
So
it's
just
not
a
safe
place
for
these
little
guys
out
there.
He
is
definitely
on
the
road
to
recovery
he
has
put
on
some
weight.
A
Rabbits
do
not
live
alone
on
carrots,
so,
as
I
also
do
with
rabbits
I
want
to
recommend
that
if
anyone
is
interested
in
adopting
rabbits
or
just
learning
more
about
them
website,
rabbit
org,
very
simple,
easy
to
remember
is
a
great
place
to
get
information
as
the
house
rabbit
society.
It's
a
nationwide
organization
that
helps
with
placement
of
rabbits
and
they
have
great
information,
they're
easy
to
read
and
understand
information
on
the
responsibilities
of
having
a
pet
rabbit,
how
to
introduce
them
to
other
pets,
how
to
introduce
them
to
children,
how
to
hold
them
properly.
A
So,
just
a
great
deal
of
information
about
these
very
special
little
creatures,
Abner
is
a
very
sweet
bunny.
We
do
have
one
current
application
for
Abner,
so
it
looks
like
he
may
be
going
to
his
forever
home
soon,
but
we
do
need
to
wait
until
he
puts
on
a
little
bit
more
weight
and
then
we
can
get
him
neutered.
So
Abner
will
be
hopefully
going
home
very
soon
and
again,
just
thank
you
to
Michelle
or
rabbit
lady
for
all
of
the
the
vegetables
and
everything
that
you're
bringing
for
all
the
bunnies.
A
And
our
next
guest
today
is
a
dog
that
I'm
just
calling
Wilma
and
I
just
made
it
up
right
now.
She
came
in
today
with
a
tag
on
her,
so
she
has
a
current
rabies
tag
or
a
tag.
That's
appears
to
be
current,
so
we'll
call
and
try
and
trace
the
owner
down
she's
as
beautiful
kind
of
dapple
grey
dachshund
here
also
referred
to
sometimes
as
a
wiener
dog.
A
A
She
has
her
rabies
tag
on
here,
it'd
be
nice
if
she
also
had
a
tag
that
had
her
owners
information
as
well.
I
know,
people
sometimes
don't
want
to
have
two
tags
or
multiple
tags,
because
they
Clank
and
make
noise,
but
we're
calling
the
vet
to
verify
her
information
and
get
her
back
in
touch
with
her
people.
But
it's
very
important.
You
know
it's
easy
for
this
caller
to
come
off
or
someone
to
take
this
collar
off.
A
She
does
not
have
a
microchip,
and
we
also
want
to
plug
the
importance
of
having
your
pet
microchipped,
because
it
has
a
permanent
form
of
identification.
That
is
a
way
for
us
to
trace
who
the
owners
are,
but
this
stray
dog
came
to.
She
was
running
around.
She
was
in
the
street,
so
obviously
a
very
scary
place
for
such
a
little
dog
like
this.
They
may
not.
Someone
may
not
see
her
and
she's
very
fortunate
that
she
is
safe
and
secure
here
with
us
here
at
the
shelter.
A
But
again
she
at
least
has
a
rate
rabies
tag
on,
so
we're
going
to
be
able
to
reunite
her
with
her
owners.
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
your
pets
are
always
identified,
making
sure
that
they
have
a
microchip
that
way.
If
the
tag
comes
off,
the
collar
comes
off.
We're
always
going
to
be
reunited,
be
able
to
reunite
your
pets
with
you
again.
A
A
A
So
you
know
we
just
had
that
recent
snowstorm,
and
this
is
exactly
the
reason
why
we
want
all
of
the
animals
adopted
from
the
Ames
animal
shelter
to
be
indoors
if
we
did
not
get
to
Kinsley
when
we
did,
she
wouldn't
be
with
us
here
today
and
she's
got
a
long
road
to
recovery,
just
as
with
Abner
the
day
that
she
came
in,
we
rushed
her
to
Somerset
vet.
They
took
excellent
care
of
her
got
her
eating.
A
Consistent
food
gave
her
some
fluids
to
help
her
along
and
now
she's
on
the
road
to
recovery.
It's
going
to
be
a
long
road
for
her
Abner's,
definitely
responding
much
quicker,
whereas
Kinsley
here
is
going
to
need
some
more
time.
She
is
just
a
very
loving
cat
and
fighting
and
we
are
absolutely
hoping
the
best
for
her
recovery
and
we
were
very
hopeful
that
she
is
going
to
recover
and
then
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
she
never
stepped
foot
outside
again.
A
A
She
could
just
barely
hear
that
little
crying
there,
but
definitely
a
sweet
captain
that
deserves
better
deserves
to
be
taken.
Care
of
her
and
Abner
are
just
perfect
examples
of
pets
that
need
to
be
kept
indoors.
If
they
were
not
let
outdoors,
they
would
not
be
in
this
shape.
So,
if
you're
interested
in
learning
about
them,
it's
going
to
be
a
while
before
Kinsley
is
available
for
adoption,
but
she
really
is
a
sweet
cat.
A
She's,
a
beautiful
cat,
she's
kind
of
a
dilute,
tortoiseshell
cat
female
we're
estimating
probably
five
years,
but
it's
really
kind
of
hard
to
say
because
she
is
in
such
bad
shape.
Her
teeth
may
not
really
kind
of
give
us
the
signs
that
we
need
to
look
at
to
determine
her
age,
but
a
very
sweet
cat
who's
made
it
through
a
lot
already
and
we're
really
hoping
that
she's
going
to
make
a
full
recovery.
A
So
Maggie
is
going
to
be
safe
at
home
today
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
people
who
brought
her
to
us
today
and
caring
enough
to
make
sure
that
she
was
safe
and
bringing
her
here
to
the
shelter
where
we
would
care
for
her
to
give
time
for
the
owners
to
come
down
for
her.
We
have
a
great
community
here
in
Ames,
a
lot
of
people
that
truly
truly
care
about
animals
and
want
the
best
for
them,
and
that's
exactly
what
we
want.
