Groot is a male 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix that was recently surrendered to Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Tito the American Bulldog Mix

Posted on March 29, 2018 by KBOE Administrator

Tito the American Bulldog Mix is KBOE 104.9 FM & KMZN‘s Pet of the Week!

Tito is approximately 3-years-old, and he is one of the most positive and upbeat dogs we’ve had in the station to date! Although he is so happy and seemingly carefree, we do know that being kenneled gives him anxiety, so he’ll need an understanding owner that won’t kennel him.

If you’re interested in bringing Tito home, contact Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter for more information. If you have other canine-companions, we suggest bringing them in for a “meet and greet” with Tito before you take him home with you. ????

For more information, call SMAS at 641-673-3991 or check out their website: http://www.stephenmemorial.org.

Maple the Kitty Cat

Meet Maple, KBOE 104.9 FM‘s Pet of the Week from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter.

She’s about 5 1/2 months old – and the only kitten remaining from strays that came in last season. But we don’t understand why she hasn’t found a home yet… because Maple is a sweet and curious kitten. Would you get a look at those eyes? She’s perfect!

Emma the Pit Bull Mix

Posted on March 1, 2018 by KBOE Administrator

KBOE 104.9 FM‘s Pet of the Week is a sweet and adorable girl named Emma from Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

Emma is a 10-month-old pit bull mix who came in as a stray a week ago. She gets along well with other dogs, but hasn’t been exposed to cats just yet.

She comes off as shy and timid at first, but we know she’ll warm up to the right person. Could that person be you? If so, stop in to Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter to see if she would be a good fit for your home. ???? SMAS is located at 2299 235th St in Oskaloosa, IA. They can be reached by phone at (641) 673-3991.
