WESH 2 the Rescue: North is looking for her forever family

WELCOME BACK. AND WELCOME TO WESH TO THE RESCUE. IT’S FRIDAY. IT’S OUR FAVORITE SEGMENT OF THE WEEK. AND BRIAN IS HERE WITH ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND WITH NORTH. AND WE’RE DOING IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS WEEK. WE’RE ACTUALLY LIKE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEWSROOM. UM, UM, SO I ACTUALLY, BRIAN, AM GOING TO BE PUSHING FOR THIS TO BECOME LIKE OUR NEW WESH TWO EMPLOYEE SLASH MASCOT, SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE THIS SET UP HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEWSROOM, WHY NOT? UM, SO LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT NORTH. SHE’S IN FOSTER CARE RIGHT NOW, WHICH MEANS YOU PROBABLY HAVE A LOT A GOOD IDEA OF, LIKE, HER TEMPERAMENT. YES. YEAH. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT. CURRENTLY SHE IS IN FOSTER CARE. SHE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN IN FOSTER CARE FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW. UM, NORTH IS VERY SWEET. SHE’S APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS OLD. UM, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SHE WAS CALLED IN AS A TERRORIZING ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN ORLANDO. AND WHEN OUR OFFICERS ARRIVED, THEY FOUND THIS SWEET LITTLE GIRL JUST RUNNING AROUND, EXCITED TO MEET EVERYBODY. AND NORTH IS FANTASTIC WITH PEOPLE. UM, THE ONLY PROBLEM SHE HAS IS SHE DOESN’T REALLY LIKE OTHER DOGS. WE THINK, UH, WHEN WE FIRST MET HER, THERE WAS A LOT OF SIGNS THAT SHE WAS PROBABLY BEING USED FOR BREEDING. SO THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY SHE’S KIND OF LEERY AROUND OTHER DOGS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, HER FOSTER MOM TELLS US THAT SHE’S AN AMAZING DOG. SHE CAN BE ACTIVE BECAUSE SHE CAN ALSO BE A COUCH POTATO. SO SHE’S A VERY SWEET DOG, AND SHE’S CURRENTLY ONE OF OUR LONGEST RESIDENTS. SHE’S BEEN AT THE SHELTER FOR SIX MONTHS NOW. WOW. SO IT’S CRAZY. SO SHE JUST NEEDS A HOME WHERE SHE’S THE CENTER OF ATTENTION? YES, DEFINITELY. I MEAN, DON’T WE ALL? YEAH. UM, SO THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW SHE WAS BROUGHT IN. I MEAN, IT’S PRETTY COMMON, RIGHT? I MEAN, IT IS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS. YEAH. LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT NEED. YOU GUYS ARE REALLY JUST, UM, YOU KNOW, EXTRA EFFORTS TO GET THESE DOGS ADOPTED OUT. YES. FULL. YEAH. IT DEFINITELY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER 160 DOGS AT THE SHELTER NOW. AND UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF DOGS LIKE NORTH ARE FOUND LIKE THAT. STRAYS DUMPED, ABANDONED, NEGLECTED. SO WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF ADOPTERS. ALWAYS FOSTERS. LIKE CURRENTLY NORTH HAS BEEN UNDER FOSTER CARE FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE. OKAY, I’M SO GLAD SHE DID THIS BECAUSE SHE’S DONE THIS A FEW TIMES. SHE LIKE, MELTS INTO THE GROUND WHEN SHE WHEN SHE FINALLY WANTS TO REST. YES. THIS IS SO CUTE. SHE’S FINALLY RELAXING INTO THE INTO THE LIMELIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I AM GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS THE WESH SHOIGU MASCOT. IN THE MEANTIME, I DON’T KNOW THAT OUR MANAGER IS GOING TO ALLOW THIS GIANT PEE PAD TO STAY HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEWSROOM. BUT WHY NOT? IN THE MEANTIME, LET’S GET NORTH A HOME. CENTRAL FLORIDA. LOOK AT THIS SWEET LITTLE SCARF SHE HAS ON AND SAYS I’M A FOSTER PUP. ADOPT ME. SO LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOU CAN FIND ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED ON NORTH AT WESH DOT COM UNDER THE WEST TO THE RESCUE SECTION. WE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED THERE. AND THEN OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, JUST TO REMIND FOLKS ABOUT THE NEED FOR ANYTHING, RIGHT? DONATIONS, FOOD, FOSTER CARE. IT’S SO EASY TO HELP OUT THE SHELTER. I MEAN, YOU ADOPT FOSTER OR VOLUNTEER, DONATE AND EVEN JUST SHARING NORTH STORY OR THE OTHER DOG STORY, YOU KNOW, IT GIVES THEM THAT MUCH MORE EXPOSURE AND GIVES THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT HAPPINESS. IT’S WONDERFUL. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. OF
