On the last Animal Rescue League on 1400 WHO-AM, the whole gang was back together; Carol, Mick, and Dan reminisced about all the shows before, gave advice on a sassy kitten, and had CEO of ARL Tom Colvin on to say "See you later!" Remember to be kind and paw it forward!

This week on ARL we have Animal Service Officer and Investigator Tina Updegrove filling in for Dan. We discussed Tina's 30 year career with Animal Services and she gave very helpful tips on how to keep your pets safe in any situation. Plus how you should hand seeing something concerning and you don't know how to proceed. If you ever need to call the Animal Services, you can call (515)-283-4811. If you can be anything, be kind and we hope you listen next week.

In this weeks episode, we talked about being careful and mindful of your pets' paws, are you brave enough to punch a bear to save your fur baby, (please don't touch the wildlife for fun), a rouge sea otter, chicken care 101, and had a long discussion with Bernie Lettington on the current animal bills in legislation. As always, be kind and see you next week.

Today on ARL we debated whether we are creative animal namers or if we name our animals after our favorite humans and give them names like Olivia (Benson). Then we answered question from our listeners! Thank you for listening and like always be kind!

On the ARL Animal Connection show we kicked off the show talking about the different animals that follow the water, like alligators. Then jumped into the ocean and discussed our love of Orcas! We spent a lot of time discussing safety tips for your pets during this Forth of July's firework displays. And took a call to help solve a kitten's peeing problem. Thank you for listening and as always, be kind and have a safe and happy Independence Day!
