It’s a well-known scenario to workers at the nation’s domestic violence shelters – a victim refuses to leave an abusive situation because escaping would mean leaving behind a loving and loyal pet. At the Shade Tree Shelter in Las Vegas, women and children can find safe haven for themselves, and their pets. Noah’s Animal House is one of just a few such programs nationwide, and cares for about 100 pets every year. Joining us in the studio to talk about the program is the executive director of the Shade Tree, Marlene Richter. Plus: Emily mocks a pet-massage class she's heard about, Steve freaks out his dogs and Steve's dogs went nuts when not crated one recent night. Also, Emily talks about her recent agility event.
