Alright. Well this morning we're joined
by Brandon Max of Seattle Humane.
Thanks so much for being here with us.
Thanks for having us.
We're talking about dogs waiting
months for a forever home.
And I that has a close place in my
heart because I've always wanted
those dogs to get the homes first.
You've brought in Duke,
so I'd love for you to tell us about
him and why you think he'd make
a great pet for a family. Yeah,
he's been in our care for a quite a while.
He came to us from Yakima Humane.
He's almost seven years old.
He spent most of his time.
In a foster home, he's not a big
fan of our shelter environment.
He does great with other dogs,
does great with kids. Great.
He's got a a foster nephew he likes
to lick up on Little 3 year old one.
So if you have any kids that are Duke size,
he will get up in their faces and give
them all kinds of gentle with these.
Very gentle.
He's a nice sturdy dog,
but that's great to hear.
Yeah, I guess along with
people of all ages.
One of his favorite things to
do is just cuddle up on the
couch and binge watch some TV.
I'm not sure what he's
watching right now.
Maybe bridgerton?
OK. Yeah, I mean, someone could
pick a new show to binge with him.
And I just want people to know,
you know, when a dog comes
into the studio environment,
it can be a little jarring.
But he's so calm.
He's been pretty happy and pleasant
walking around, meeting everybody
and doing well in the studio.
So that's a good sign for folks.
A lot of other dogs also waiting
several months for homes.
Brandon,
could you talk about Bubbles and Gucci?
We have some video for folks.
Yeah.
Bubbles is one of our senior dog.
She's a Pitbull mix.
She's also been in. Phosphora.
Long time. She's a very easygoing,
but a lot like a lot of our dogs
who have been in the shelter
environment for a long time.
She is dog reactive, OK?
So it doesn't really wanna
hang out with other dogs.
She's pretty mellow, you know,
she's got some mobility issues,
so she doesn't really like to do.
Yeah, she's just a big potato,
basically loves to just kind of rubs.
She loves the rubs, loves the belly rubs,
loves to just kind of, you know,
lay back and and chill.
She's in a foster home as well.
She knows a few tricks.
But yeah, she's pretty relaxed.
She likes going on short walks
and just kind of hanging out
and she would be a good
only dog for a family.
Yeah, just like Gucci here.
Gucci. She's so beautiful. She
is. She's a 6 year old Pitbull mix.
Also from Yakima humane,
just like Duke here.
She loves chew toys.
Some might say a little bit too much.
She would need some non destructive toys.
Unless you have
one of my dogs like that too.
It happens. Yeah. I mean,
you know, if you want to make
an investment I'm sure you know.
Our partners at Mud Bay will be happy
to give you plenty of new chew toys.
OK. But if you want to save your money,
get her something a little
less destructive. Gotcha.
And we also want to show you
a video of Brooke and Maxine.
Tell us about Brooke.
Yeah. Brooke is, as you can see,
quite, quite playful energy,
a lot of energy, a little undersocialized.
So, you know, she likes to take her toys
and kind of barrel into you with them.
She's very excited to show them off to you.
And she actually does get along with other
dogs. She's had a number of play dates.
She just really kind of needs a dog
that matches her style, that makes.
And this is Maxine.
She's, I believe, our longest, like this day.
She came in back in March of last year.
She loves fetch.
She can play fetch in the yard all day,
every day. Great catch. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's great too because she loves treats.
So food motivated, motivated,
so being able to exercise her
out in the yard, you know,
so she has that kind of caloric intake well.
Allow her to get a few extra treats.
She's on a diet right now.
I break that a lot.
So don't tell anybody, right.
I won't. No, sorry.
We just said to everyone, alright, Brandon,
thank you so much for being with us.
I'm gonna have some links and
videos for all of you folks on
king5.com with all of those dogs.
You can watch those videos again,
but if you want to call right now about
Duke or one of the dogs that you saw,
you can go to seattlehumane.org.
The the phone number is
also there on the website,
so you can give them a call as well.
But thanks so much for being with us.
And then we hope Duke gets a
home and those other dogs.
We'll keep people updated on when they
get home, says we'll let you know.
Awesome.
Thanks so much.
