  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to see me, right, look at
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this animal the YouTube channel that doing this.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You can't believe Gwen is here from the Humane Society,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and you can't believe how cute this guy is. His
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: name is Fig and he's a Yorkshire Terrier pure Yorki.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah ahead, the.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: People who surrendered him did say they got him from
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: a breeder, so he is likely a Yorkie, but you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: we never know for sure without a DNA test.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Well, we're going to get your tested, buddy. So why
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: would somebody surrender? What's the backstory? And I don't you know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you can't be personal.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so Fig was purchased by an elderly couple
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: and you know, they probably just didn't realize they weren't
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: ready for a puppy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: He's only six months old. He has a lot of energy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: He was doing all sorts of zoomies down in the
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: lobby while we were waiting to get up here. And
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: you know, so sometimes people think they're ready and they're not,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: or maybe they picked the wrong animal.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, an older couple probably doesn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: want one with that much energy. Yeah, they want a lapdog.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's uh he's just adorable and he's exceptionally bright.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You can tell, uh, has he has he had any
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: training at all, you know, not that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: We know of, but he is picked up. Just in
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: this short time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: That I've been with him. You know, he was kind
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: of dartning around on the leash and he figured out
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: real quick like, oh, if I'm by you, it's easier.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: He rode great in the car, he did wonderfully, just
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: sat down and was quiet and was you know, ready for.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: The right And you didn't have him in a carrier even, No.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: We have him tethered down with like a leash and highness.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: So but yeah, just sat there, didn't whine or anything.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So you know, and young dogs are really adaptable, especially
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: at his age. So whoever takes him and gets him
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: in hopefully we'll you know, get him that training that
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: he needs and spend that time with him.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's uh, you can tell in he'll pick things
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: up quick, very quick. And because he's just part of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the reason. He's looking at everything in every sound, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: he looks wrong because he's scared.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: But he's also interested.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, he's very curious, and you know, he's just he's
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: got his eye on everything, so he's keeping track of
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: it all and ready to go check it out and investigate.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: If somebody wanted to adopt fig from the Humane Society today,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: would what would they.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Have to do so they can come down in person.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: We open up at eleven am and there's no waitlist
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. You don't have to fill anything
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: out ahead of time. You just come down in person.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: You get to meet him, spend a little time with him,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: and then you go through the adoption process, which is
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: only about fifteen or twenty minutes if the wait isn't
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: too long.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Now would tell people where the Humane Society offices are.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Yet, We're located at forty two forty two West three
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: hundred or forty two forty two South three hundred West
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: in Murray, just right off the freeway.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: And yeah, we're hoping to get this guy adopted today.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Now at eleven am. When you open, I hope you
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: are not surprised to see a few people in line waiting.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: This guy is just the best. Yeah, I mean, he's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: just I don't go goog over animals too much very often.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: But I'm a big dog girl myself, and so it
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: takes a lot for these little dogs to win me over.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: But he is super cute.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm a little dog person. I like it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons is just their poops
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: are easy, or to deal with a big log, you know. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he's just the best. My god, and he thinks he's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: about six months old.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they told us he's six months and our
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: vets agreed. I thought that was pretty accurate. He is neutered,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: he's microchipped, and he has age appropriate vaccinations, so you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: he is set to go. His adoption fee is two
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars, but again, it includes all of that,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: so it's really a you know, a deal when you
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: think about it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, do you do you have other small
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: dogs that are ready to be adopted?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we do have a couple of other small dogs
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: on our website. You know, the website the best place
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to look if you're ever interested. Updates about every fifteen
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to thirty minutes.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: So Utah Humane dot org. Is that right?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yep, that is correct, And there's a whole gallery of
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: dogs and cats and the guinea pig and some rabbits
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: here and there. Yeah, and he.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Won't he'll be gone by noon. I'm telling you fingers crossed.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I bet you.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Let's lay money on it right now, gone gone by noon,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: We'll we'll have Katie check in with you and see
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: if I'm if we're right about that. His name is
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Fig And for those of you who can't see him
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on camera, he's a Yorkshire Terrier. He's been groomed a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: bit yea and appropriately groomed, so he looks the way
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a Yorky should look. He's got the trim around his beard,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and his ears are great and fluffy, and he's he's.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Well, let's let's get an let's get a picture of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: him for our social media.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Did you already okay? Yeah? Right?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And and he met Katie's dog this morning, Vax. Vax
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is a large dog and he's any but he's a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: very sweet dog and they got along just fine.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a little nervous at first, but that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: to be expected when a small dog meets a you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: new large dog. But he was very curious and after
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: a couple of minutes it was like, oh, I'll come
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: up and sniff you. So you know, like we said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: he probably hasn't had a whole lot of experiences outside
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: of his little sheltered home before coming to us. That
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: he is so quick to adapt and it just takes
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: him a couple of seconds. So you know, if you
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: happen to meet him in the shelter and he seems
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: really nervous, you know that's normal, you know, so, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: you can see he's pretty relaxed here and just checking
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: things out.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The more the longer he's been in here, the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: more he's sort of you can tell he's settling in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and well, there's nobody going to hurt me here.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at your guys' website right now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You have a lot of guinea pigs, and I want
• 5:53
