00:00Hey, what's up, y'all? Jell-O here.

00:02It's Jell-O, and I'm Sarah, from Press for Animals of Veterans, Detroit.

00:06All right, guys, so we are doing this every single Tuesday where we want to highlight a dog that needs to be adopted.

00:13Now, we've been hanging out with Hallie for quite some time, and he's amazing.

00:17Like, this dog is amazing. He's so calm and well-mannered, and just, he just, he seems like a couch potato.

00:24Like, he's one of those dogs where you sit on the couch and he just wants to sit on your lap and just give you all the love in the world.

00:29Yes, he's a 73-pound lap dog.

00:32I mean, if you can take 73 pounds on the lap, then cool.

00:35But, so, explain to them how they can go through with the adoption process, all of that other good stuff.

00:40So, this is Hallie. He's about eight years old. He came to us, so, at Press for Animals of Dearborn.

00:47He came as a stray. We think he did have a family at one point.

00:51Probably just got lost, and unfortunately, they never found him.

00:56He's super sweet.

00:57He's chill, man.

01:00He's kind of goofy, but he is an awesome dog.

01:03So, if you are interested in him, you can check out our website at MetroDetroitAnimals.org.

01:08There's a whole little Adopted Animal section.

01:11He is there, his picture, his profile, and you can fill out an adoption question here for him, and hopefully take him home.

01:20He is awesome.

01:22We all love him.

01:23Obviously, we love all our animals, but he is a staff favorite, for sure.

01:26He's one of our favorites.

01:27He's one of our favorites.

01:28He hung with us the entire time we slept in the shelter to try to get, you know, donations for the dogs.

01:33It's really hard, of course, because of the pandemic.

01:36You know, dogs or friends for animals are actually struggling to make sure that these dogs are taken care of.

01:41What is it, like 3,000 dogs a year?

01:43Yeah, we get about 2,500.

01:45It's crazy.

01:45So, and I talked about this before.

01:47If you did the math, you know, it costs about 500 bucks to take care of these dogs, to give them medication, you know, vaccinations, feed them.

01:55And the adoption fee is what, $80?

01:57The average fee is about 80.

01:59About 80 bucks.

02:00So, you can imagine they're, the over-under, they're, the overhead is really, really high for these animals.

02:05So, if you can adopt, man, and you have room, do it.

02:08I mean, this dog is amazing.

02:09Look at him.

02:10He's amazing.

02:11He is amazing, man.

02:12He's such a good boy.

02:14Oh, we love you, Holly.

02:15Holly's just chill, man.

02:17I don't know why I just want to lay down with this dog so bad.

02:20Yeah, and he, Joanna and Jello joined us and spent the night, that last weekend, two weekends ago, for Paws in Pajamas.

02:28It was our first of that event.

02:30It was a celebrity sleepover.

02:31So, Holly was one of the dogs they got to spend some time with.

02:37And he's having a good time today.

02:39And he's just walking around.

02:40He's like, yo, there's a lot of space out here, man.

02:41He's looking at yourself in the room like he's supposed to be cute.

02:45So, if you're interested, you should fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website,

02:50metrgyforanimals.org.

02:52You can give us a call at 313-943-2697.

02:56And you can chat.

02:58They'll let you know if your household is a good fit for him.

03:00If you have any other pets, you can, if you have dogs, you can bring them in, you can do dog meat.

03:05Make sure they get along.

03:06And what's it called that one day you can shoot him out for a couple hours?

03:09Doggy Day Out.

03:10Doggy Day Out.

03:10You can take them for a doggy day out and have them for a few hours.

03:13Yeah.

03:13So, for the rest of the year until the weather gets too bad, we're actually doing them every

03:18Saturday.

03:18Oh, cool.

03:19So, you can come from 9 to 1 and take them out for a day.

03:23You can, you know, go to the park, go hiking, go to a pet store, just take them home.

03:26It's not going on the couch.

03:27And then if you fall in love and can't bring them back, we'll fill out the papers for you.

03:31Look at that tall wagon.

03:32He's just a happy dog.

03:33And you got to forgive our gloves.

03:35Our boss is like, oh, you got to wear gloves.

03:39So, please adopt Holly.

03:41Take a look at him because he's so stinking cute.

03:43He just wants to love.

03:44Yeah.

03:45Say bye, Holly.

03:46Hey, buddy.

03:48Look, say bye.

03:49Bye.

03:49Say bye.
