Smells like Trixy.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Exactly, and you never want to say those words when
you're working in radio.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Actually smells like her skinny mini treats pumpkin and mango.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, oh well that's better than most radio microphone smells.
So that's a good deal. Well, we'll see if we
can get Trixy to jump up on your lap a
little bit so we can get a get to see her.
And sure, because she is a potato of a doll
she is.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
She's a big love of potato, came girl.

She is a great girl. And you said she's nine

So she's nine years old. She's almost eighty pounds. She's
a big, beautiful girl with such a wonderful personality. I'm
gonna pick her up now.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, Yeah, she damn near knocked me down over the
I know, look at that face.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
She's like, I see the squeaky toy exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
If you're watching us on our YouTube channel, you can
see Trixy. And she's nine years old, almost eighty pounds
available for adoption available. Yeah, and thanks to Stanley Steamer.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Her adoption fee is sponsored by them. Oh yeah, they
are such amazing. They just help us out so much,
and they're wonderful to our shelter, and they have sponsored
her adoption fee.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So basically that means if you like Tricksy, you see
her on the website and you would like to adopt her,
just have to call the shelter and make an appointment.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And yeah, just come on down and visit us. And
you know, once you visit, fall in love and you
want to adopt her, you fill out the adoption application
and you can go home with her the same day
and the adoption fee will be covered by Stanley Steamer.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Connie. Yeah, Connie does a lot of great work with
you guys, She really does. Because speaking of adoptions, the
guest we had on the last time you were here, Chase.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, you got adopt that. I was so excited, I mean,
you fell in love with him and Hello, and I
was so happy to send you his got you Day picture.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah exactly. And that happened to be the day that
Ray from John his house at XL one of six
point seven was guest co hosting with us while Jimmy
was out on vacation and she and she had fallen
in love with him.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, they it was they fell in love with Hello.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
They did fall in love with hello, but he ended
up finding a forever dad. And he tell me, animals
don't smile. When you see Chase's adoption picture, you're like, yeah,
that dog knew he's going home forever.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
They knew. It was almost like instant it were going home.
You're my dad, and he was like, that's my dog.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
It was ear to ear smiles on the both of them.
So congratulations on that. Another successful adoption.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, So about how much money does that save for
someone who's looking to adopt and maybe was concerned about
the well, I don't know if I can afford the
adoption fee.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, Trixy's adoption fee of seventy five dollars and that
includes that she's been spade, she's up to date on
all of her shots, she's got a microchip, and she's
on flea and heartworm prevention.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Wow, for seventy five seventy five dollars, Yeah, that is
quite the bargain. And they go to pet Alliance Orlando
dot org.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's exactly where they go. Pet Alliance Orlando dot org.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
How many times have I typed that website address?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Many times because you're always looking what dogs are available? Now,
let's check out the kitten exactly. Love that you can
go there and look at all those photos and see
all those beautiful babies looking for forever homes.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well it's not only that, but you guys are going
to be doing a really great service for the community
this weekend because we've talked about you know, grocery prices
are up. Everything is so much more expensive these days,
and that includes taking care of your animals.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
And that includes the dog food exactly. And so we've
got our petroop, our pet food pantry going on this Saturday,
October eighteenth. It's happening from ten until twelve, and it's
where if you need food for your pet, your dog
and your cat, we are handing it out west We're
distributing it that day.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Wow. Now this is going to be at your Sanford location, right,
because yeah, the new one's not quite new.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
One's not there yet. You're right, It's it's getting there.
It's looking good, I bet. But yeah. So it's going
to be a twenty eight hundred county home road from
ten until twelve. And if you need pet food, please,
if you live an Orange, Osciola or Seminole County, you're
more than welcome to come over.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That is it, And you don't have to pre register
or anything. You can just show up.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Just show up. It's first come, first serve. We will
distribute chill supplies till we don't have anything else left.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, what's really interesting is that maybe you don't need
the pet food, But how is it that you're able
to distribute free pet food without any registration or questions asked?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I love that you asked that. Okay, so this is
all run by donations. So if you want to help
out these people that don't want to get rid of
their doggar cat, they want to keep it, but they're
having a little bit of a tough time right now
getting feeding them, you can donate to our pet food pantry.
Just go to our website pet Alliance Orlando dot org

(05:53):
and there weighs the help and you'll see that the
pet food pantry is there and you can click on
a link where you can order the food or you
can just bring it to our shelter.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And I've done that before. Like, if you've ever had
you know, a dog or a cat who gets picky
with their food all of a sudden, Yeah, and you've
got cans of You're like, well, now what am I
going to do with this? And I'm the receipt. I
can't take it back to the store, but I'm not
going to throw it away.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I've left here a couple of times with cans of
food from you. You'll hear my cat won't eat it,
and well we'll take it.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, shelters rarely will turn that stuff down.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, we accept it with a huge smile.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So thank you so real quick. What is going on
with the new shelter. I know that for those who
don't remember the location you've been at forever near the
Mullet Millennia. You had a devastating fire. Was it twenty
twenty one?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was? It was almost four years ago.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Wow, yes, yeah, God, I can't believe it's been that long.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
And so now we're building a brand new shelter not
that far from the last location. It's on John Young Parkway,
very near the intersection of Holden and John Young. Okay,
And when you drive by right now, you see the huge, big,
impressive building, you know, but inside that's you can't see
what's going on. And I was just there last week
and it's hallways, its doors, it's windows, there's electrical wiring

(07:12):
going up it's it's turning into a shelter and we're
so excited to open up in February. That's what we're
shooting for.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yes, wow, that is amazing. So somebody did text us
at seven seven zero three one asking what breed Tricksie is.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, Tricksy is a pitbull mix okay, and with beautiful
amber eyes and she's got a gorgeous copper color.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
And she's got a pink bow on right now.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
She does she wore that just forew debruh.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
She did. I appreciated that she did her hair well.
I didn't. Also, you said that you had some listeners
who donated some other items last time that you were here.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Last time we were here, we had mentioned how we needed,
you know, dog leashes, and while we were still in
the air, someone was just like, where do I send
them to? And I just wanted to say thank you.
We received them. And it's just wonderful how people, how
this show helps. And if anyone's listening right now now,
our cat shelter is really low on bath towels and
hand hand washells wash really, so if anyone wants to

(08:09):
take them to the downtown location, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, good. That's another item that you always hear that
rescues can always use and that is gently used or
new towels. And then do you guys have like an
Amazon wish list that folks can go to Pedalions Orlando
dot organ.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
We do. If if you go to nash, if you
go to if you go to our pedalions Orlando dot
org and you click on wishless, you'll see all of
our items that are needed, including towels.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Including towels. So what's interesting is what do you use
the wash class for?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
It helps with cleaning, so oh like like for the
dogs and the cats. Like the towels are used for
either after surgery or they're used for bedding or after baths.
But when it comes to cleaning the cat condos that
they live in the kennels, the wash closs are really good.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh that's true. A smaller yes, smaller surface area that
you need. Yes, okay, So that's the downtown cat shelter,
yes at seven seven seven West Central Boulevard. Okay, cool. Now,
if you also, like, if you happen to be bringing
maybe picking up cat or dog food or cat food
on Saturday, could they also drop them off with you.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yes, they can. We would love that. What is she
doing over there?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
She's looking for something, She's all squeak, There you go,
She'll come back over there. There you go. Now you've
got her attention. And someone just texted asking if they
can donate pet food to your event, and of course
the answer.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Is yes, yes, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
And then they would just need to drop it off.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Drop it off, I mean if they want to drop
it off at Sanford. We have bins right outside our
adoption area and they can just drop them off there.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
And while you're there.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I mean, while you're there, go check out tricks there,
all the other pets we have available for adoption.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
And you have new adoption hours we do.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
So we are open every day of the week from
twelve to six, with the exception of Wednesday and Sunday.
We're clothes on those days.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Wednesdays and Sundays.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
You're closed every other day of the week through twelve
to six and Sanford.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
So is Trixy going to be there on Saturday with
all of her pink bow gloriousness showing off for the
folks that are going to be.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Whatever's left of the pink Bow because she chewed off
haspit on the drive here really, so we'll probably take
that off, but she will be there with bells on,
just wagging her tail like when she greeted you.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh she is. She's a love bus, like.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
She meets people for the first time and she's like,
I love you. You're my best friend.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I know. And I remember seeing the first time I
actually saw Trixy. I saw you and Connie from Stanley
Steamer and Tricksy on Fox thirty five's Good Morning Orlando
with the crew over there and everybody, and fallen in
love with her there as well.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
She was so well behaved on TV. She's doing good.
I'm feeling she's doing good in the radio station because
I can't see her right now.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
She's doing great. I've I've only pulled one thing that
she was chewing out of her mouth.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, glad, so exactly. But yeah, she's a good girl
and was just so thankful that, you know, she does
so well at media and we're really crossing our paws
that she finds her forever home thanks to.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
This, because I mean, your streak right now is what
two for two of the last two dogs you brought
into the show. For us.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, so we're hoping that she gets the same good
luck to Chase got.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yay, So you know, third time will be the charm. Hey, Casey,
could you use a dog? Oh that you don't have
to pay anything for? And there's that dog. I would
love a dog, but I don't have room for Yeah.
And oh, if you're watching us again in our YouTube show,
she popped back up. She has a beautiful face again.
Tricksy is about nine years old, eighty pounds. She's just

(11:29):
a love muffin. And thanks to Connie and the whole stea,
the whole team over at Stanley Steamer, you'll be able
to adopt Trixie. All of her adoption fees have been covered. Oh,
she's so cute with the toy. And again, you know,
anyone with a pet knows that a Spade neuter surgery,
update on their shots, microchipped flea and tick medication.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
That adds up to you. So, I mean, that is
such a great deal for seventy five dollars. Like all
of that. They're so ready to go home and we
want them to be prepared for their new forever home
and people not to have to worry about those extents.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And again if you are worried about, you know, maybe
being able to keep your cat or dog at home,
but things are a little bit more expensive. Remind folks
again what you're going what you've got going on Saturday
morning from ten until noon.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
So we have a pet food pantry going on and
it's happening at our Sanford Shelter which is located at
twenty eight hundred County Home Road. And if you need
food for your pets, and if you live an Orange
Seminole or Osiola County, please come on by between ten
and twelve while supplies last. We're going to be passing
off food to anyone that needs it.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
And it's absolutely free. Yes, and if you're so inclined,
maybe donate some pet food for the donation event as
well as some towels and washclaws for the cat shelter
downtown Orlando. Thank you, oh Kenny, Thank you as always.
I can't wait to get the message from you that
Trixie has found her forever home.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Maybe with that squeaky toy.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I'm hoping this squeaky toy is the needed element right,
put it right over the top. Thank you as always.
