  Speaker 4: hundred dogs from the Avenue hoard. It turns out they
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: were backyard breeders selling sick puppies. Salty County Animal Services
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: got in there and removed the puppies after the neighbor.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: You know, the neighbor did a great job. The neighbor
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: was actually the hero here, saying this isn't right. Something
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: is wrong here, Please come and get some help. I
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: want to show you how resilient these little guys are.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: They are amazing. These do not act like hoarded puppies,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: sick puppies. They're happy. They're wonderful. I mean.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: And the one that Carrie is holding, this little black one, Loadstone,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: she was the shyest of the bunch and now she's like, Hi,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: how's it going. The resilience of these little guys is
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: absolutely astounding.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: No, they're just.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: They're really charming little dogs. There was a feather duster
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: on the floor over here that somebody been yeah, like
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: somebody dusts in here, But it was on the floor,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: and one of the puppies found it, and they two
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: of them, I think, got together and dragged it back
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: into their kennel.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: What we've got something.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're hilarious the way they work together.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I was just telling you guys earlier that this little terrier,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: the one at Bill's feet, her name is City Creek.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: We call her Ceci. She is the sort of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: naughty one of the bunch. She's the one who plans
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: all the evil escapades. And she managed to break out
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: of their ex pen while I was sleeping the other
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: night and led all the other puppies to rampage through
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the houses I slept. Wonderful hilarious puppies. Each has such
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: a distinct personality.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Is hilarious.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: This one, this one right here, has caught a glimpse
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: of its own reflection that in that and it's trying
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: to figure out who's who.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That other dog is.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: No one said Parley is the smartest dog.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I Parley p. Pratt is maybe not the smartest of
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the bunch. Gina just set down our favorite little dust
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: mop here. She is Fairmont. She's a marvelous little dog.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: You can see.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: These are not the same litter right, they're not litter mats.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: They were all from the same home, so we felt
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: comfortable calling.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Now I'm the same age.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: They're similar ages.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: They all have Chihuahua in them, but they're mixed with
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: other things. We've got a couple that look like they've
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: got some shitsu in them. We got maybe, yeah, we
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: might have some Chewini. We've got our little foxy friend here.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: They are hysterical though. I just have enjoyed and Bill
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: knows I am not a little dog person, and I'm
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent not a puppy person. But these guys
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: have brought me great joy at my house the last
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and hopefully they'll bring their new people
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: more joy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Now they're healthy. Yeah, they've been been checked out by
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: BET they have.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: The reason they weren't my house was because we knew
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: there was parvo exposure in this home. Hit the news
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that the breeder had been selling parvo puppies, and so
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: we wanted to make sure that we covered that. In fact,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: we did have a litter of puppies that we brought
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: from this home that did have parvo. We had to
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: hospitalize one of them. It was pretty significant. So I
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: wanted to get all the rest of the puppies out
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of the shelter so they would be out of harm's way,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: and unfortunately, sometimes the only way to do that is
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: to take them to your own house.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: For those who didn't hear tell us the story of
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: this house, yeah, they found and what the conditions were.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: So they haven't talked a lot about what was going
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: on inside the house. The initial news reports were ninety
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: seven dogs and one tortoise.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to know about the tourtot. I can't tell
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: you about the tortoise, no clue.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: But they had to continue going back and setting traps,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and I understand they picked up another seven to nine dogs,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: but they had to trap.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So as an Avenue's home.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Again, they haven't said a ton about the conditions inside
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the home, but I will tell you other than being
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: dirty and being parvo exposed, they were in fairly decent
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: condition for that many amazing and again I don't think
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: that that says anything about the care they receive so
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: much as their own resilience.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: They're wonderful little dogs. Lots of adults, lots.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And lots of puppies, almost all of them Chihuahua mixes.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: So what's interesting and what was kind of our first
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: clue is that they were intentionally bred. Is the variety, Like,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: look at just what I've brought here, and when you
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: look at the total of them, there were no adult
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Shitsuos that were found in this group, So why do
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: we have shitsoo mixes?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So that means they're pairing up with somebody else.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: That would be my guess. That would be my guess.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: And then we have a bunch of fancy merle type puppies,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: which is, you know, very desirable coat pattern.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: They're trouble. Sorry, guys, this is this is a lot.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: We got a poop over here.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm not surprised, sorry about that. We got
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a brown a brown out care.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: So, if people are interested in in adopting some of
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: these dogs, can they adopt more than one?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Usually we don't recommend that because it's very difficult to
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: give adequate attention to two puppies at the same time,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: and so you end up with behavioral problems because you
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: you simply raise them as a batch and they have
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: some kind of weird codependency.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: It is possible if you have the time and the plan.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Thank you sorry about that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It happens.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: It does happen.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: So our recommendation is usually that you get one at
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: a time, raise them well, and then adopt a second
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: dog if that's what you're after. So three of these puppies,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: the little Chiuaha mixes so our little foxy friend Tanner,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: our little Parley p Pratt, and the terrier, our little
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: terrier City Creek Sec will be up for adoption today
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and the two little dust mops need a few more
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: days of foster care and then they'll be up for
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: ap that come on down to the Humane Society, so
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: come and meet them, see who might be the right
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: one for you. They've had two sets of vaccines, de wormers,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: they've you know, been held through you know, parvo exposure times.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: We're not worried about parvo.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: They have microchips, they have been spade and neotered most importantly,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: so we want to make sure that everything they're you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: they're gonna need is and then we just want the
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: new adopter to follow up on the vaccine series to
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: keep them protected over time.
• 6:04

  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, small.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Breed puppies are very desirable, and these are phenomenal puppies
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: because there if you live in an apartment, yes, it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: easy to keep them there.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like having a rat.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And Bill means that is a cop having had rats.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Bill means that we got another pood.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: You know, it's my fault. I should have brought a
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: potty pad. I was thinking they could make it for
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: five minutes. But they are puppies, and I did just
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: feed them.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: It's on me. It's on me, guys, that'll happen.
