Second Chances

Steven Hall opens with the happy tail this show waited three years to tell: Atlas, featured in Episode 2, celebrated in a home with his mom and dad on his ninth birthday — the day that would have marked three years in the shelter. Then meet Lola, the very last of the 29 Jack Russell Terriers who came to True Friends, who spent her whole life in a crate and is now goofy, toy-loving, and offered foster-to-adopt; and Simon and Garfunkel, a cuddly, playful pair of kitties. Plus a Howl-o-Ween thank-you, the shelter's urgent funding appeal, and an honest fundraiser update: still $0 ra...

Steven Hall opens with an urgent, honest update on Bruno: after over three years at True Friends, serious aggression concerns and trainer assessments, a scheduled humane euthanasia has been postponed while the shelter seeks a reputable professional behavior, rehab, or sanctuary placement — contact director Dory Browning at 570-396-6011 (not a private adoption appeal). Then meet Cera and Petri, two adoptable sister tabby kittens — the first named cats on the show — celebrate the shelter's Happy Endings cat adoptions, and hear Sugar Plum's happy tail: a senior dog placed into a new home in New Jersey via Pattie's Waggin' Tails Senior...

Steven Hall leads with Brody, an 11-year-old Boxer who can't see well and desperately needs a quiet foster home after his owner's health declined and a lined-up foster fell through; introduces the shelter's seven 9-week-old puppies — Sneezy, Happy, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, and Doc — now ready for families; and shares Pumpkins for a Purpose, ending today at Purple Pepper Farms in Clarks Summit with 15% of sales to True Friends.

Steven Hall introduces Roomba, a deaf young Bull Terrier mix at True Friends who is learning hand signals and has been overlooked for his special needs, and Pinky, a timid hound with a pink nose whose one foster night of swimming and snuggling in a real bed showed who he really is — plus a brief hello to Rocky the American Bulldog, the shelter's foster program, its urgent funding appeal, and an honest fundraiser update: still zero raised, be the first to donate: https://www.gofundme.com/f/second-chances-for-montrose-true-friends-animal-rescue

Steven Hall introduces Thor and Dion, two big Rottweiler mixes at True Friends whose story pages are still blank and waiting for an adopter to write them, plus Whiskey, a Lab and Collie mix who came from a cruelty situation as the most fearful of eight dogs and now greets staff at the kennel front.

Two good dogs waiting at True Friends Animal Welfare Center in Montrose, PA. Bruno, a two-and-a-half-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, wandered the woods alone for weeks — shy at first, then a total snugglebug, and good with other dogs. Bucky, a stray nobody ever claimed, shakes paw at breakfast and dinner and is hoping for a no-cat home of his own. Plus: how the shelter's $5,000 goal breaks down — surgeries, HVAC, kennels, and food for more than 95 animals.
