We are back with the beautiful Beth Stern,
our dear, dear, dear friend.
(applause)
We're in the Halloween spirit today,
which is why we have this beautiful adoptable animal
in a ridiculous chef's outfit. (laughter)
It is the most handsome fella.
What a cute, cute chef.
October is national Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
And we have done that.
Our Bella, we got from North Shore Animal League America.
And she looked just like this.
Same color, right?
Yeah, yeah. The same coloring.
Those beautiful light eyes.
Yes. Beth, who is this?
This is Rockstar.
Rockstar's from Louisiana. He's about 10 weeks old.
It's so cute to dress your pets up for Halloween.
But again, as long as it's not, you know, restricting
and they're comfortable.
Or get the, put the costume on.
Get the picture posted on social media
and you have your picture and then take it off.
And then take it off. (applause)
But he likes it. Look, he's so good.
Bella actually really liked being a taco last year.
She actually really liked her taco costume.
Eventually when we took it off, she ate the taco.
No! (laughs)
Listen, we're doing a puppy parade
'cause it's around Halloween and we have lots
of cute costumes, but there are hundreds
of animals that we are going to post up.
Yes. A link to? Right?
Yep, and we just went to Florida
where there was major devastation
and we brought a whole bunch home.
So we have over a hundred new dogs and puppies
at North Shore Animal right now.
So now's the time. Perfect weather to adopt.
(applause)
It's really, really get there, get to North Shore.
All right. Where's my number two?
Is this is Becca?
Can I hold rockstar? Yes.
(applause)
(applause continues)
The adult dogs that are sitting
in shelters really hold such a dear place in my heart.
This is Becca. She's two years old.
She's a terrier mix and she's a bumblebee.
And I think she likes her costume.
She's been parading around backstage loving it.
But there's so many-
Don't just go to a shelter
and think you gotta get the cutest puppy.
Although, they need homes too.
The adult dogs, guess what?
They already sleep through the night.
They don't have the needle teeth.
And they're already, you know how big they're gonna be.
(applause)
Clancy! Clancy!
Where's Clancy? Where's Clancy the bat?
There's Clancy the bat.
Jail break! Jail break!
We have enough volunteers around
that'll help us gather everybody. (Rachael laughs)
This is Clancy, of course. Another adorable puppy.
Oh, hi Clance!
He's 12 weeks old. Another southern rescue.
And look at this delicious, delicious puppy.
And there are many more where Clancy came from
at North Shore Animal Lake.
So you're fostering like a whole barnyard,
you have like bunnies and rabbits right?
Oh gosh, I can't even believe this
but right now I have 18 kittens, a nursing mama,
and somebody discarded their rabbit, their indoor rabbit.
So Howard and I have been fostering her
and we decided this morning that she's not going anywhere.
Oh! So we have a rabbit, too.
(applause)
And we have one more. We have a Bella.
Oh, we have another Bella! Another Bella!
We have a Bella and a Bella!
Another adult. (applause)
Bella the butterfly! (applause)
Oh, she wants come on my lap.
Another adult that's sitting in a shelter
that we need to get out.
And guess what? She's perfect.
I looked at her and I said, how is she still there?
She's just awesome. She's so gorgeous.
Isn't she? And she's the perfect size.
Look how pretty your teeth are.
And look how good she is!
Look how gorgeous your eyes are.
And her ears are perfect, she's good.
She likes her costume.
Oh God. I'm so happy I could just my pass out.
I just, I'm telling you, if you are interested
in any of these beautiful, beautiful animals,
please, please, please go to our website.
Again, there's hundreds and hundreds waiting
for their fur-ever homes.
Yes.
I want to take this moment
to thank John and Rachael for their continued support
in all of my rescue efforts and North Shore Animal America.
And they're just not only dear friends
but our biggest supporters and we couldn't do half
of what we do without them,
so I love you both so much.
And you do the hardest part.
Thank you for bringing us
into the North Shore Animal League America family
and letting us be a part of the conversation
and helping us build us a stronger
and greater relief effort for all
of these animals until they find their forever homes.
And until we no longer have to do what we do.
Right? (applause)
