>>> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A DOG DID PETS AND WRAL WAS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE CLEAR THE SHELTER PROGRAM LAST MONTH. HOWEVER, DURING AND AFTER THE PANDEMIC IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE WHAT YOUR PET WILL NEED. NINA, WITH THE RESCUE SHELTER JOINS US LIVE NOW TO EXPLAIN, GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. >> GOOD MORNING. >> IT IS GREAT THAT SO MANY DOGS HAVE HOMES THAT THIS CAN BE A TRICKY TIME FOR PUPPIES. WHY IS THAT? >> SO, ONE GREAT THING THAT HAS COME FROM THE PANDEMIC IS PEOPLE ARE AT HOME SO THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO TAKE IN A NEW PET AND WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ADOPT PUPPIES BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THEY ARE COOPED UP AT HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINES OF THE GOVERNMENT SO, THE PUPPIES ARE SO USED TO BEING INSIDE THE HOME THAT THEY AREN'T GETTING THE SOCIALIZATION. JUST LIKE HUMANS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE SOCIALIZE, SO WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEEN PUPPIES THAT ARE STARTING TO KIND OF REACT AND HAVE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES, LIKE DESTRUCTION OF ITEMS IN THE HOME, THEY ARE BARKING AGGRESSIVELY, BEHAVING IN THE WRONG WAY, SO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO, A LOT OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AS THE OWNERS OF THESE PETS ARE SENDING THEM TO RESCUES LIKE OURS SO, WE HAVE TWO DOGS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE AMAZING BUT THEY ARE HAVING SOME BEHAVIORAL ISSUES AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS THAT, IT IS JUST VERY EXPENSIVE, WE ARE A NONPROFIT, IT IS EXPENSIVE TO PROVIDE NOT ONLY THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF THESE PUPPIES BUT ALSO FOR THE TRAINING THAT THEY NEED. AND WE ARE ABLE TO WORK WITH THEM AND HELP WITH THEIR ISSUES BUT, IT IS ABOUT $60 PER DAY PER DOG. SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS ACTUALLY HOPING TO RAISE AROUND $2200 AND WE ARE DOING A LITTLE FUNDRAISER, IF YOU CAN SEE MY SHIRT, CALLING ALL HEROES, THEY ARE ON THE WEBSITE AND WE ARE ASKING IF ANYONE FEELS LED TO EITHER GIVE TO THE NONPROFIT TO HELP WITH THESE ISSUES TO COVER THE COST WE WANT TO GET THESE ANIMALS BACK INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WILL WORK WITH A HEAVIER LIST. >> A LOT OF THINGS PEOPLE DO NOT THINK ABOUT.
