SCRAPS and Gregory Popovich are teaming up to find shelter animals a good home.

On Friday, December 14th, the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater will be at the Bing Crosby Theater.

The show, which starts at 7:30 p.m., blends family-oriented comedy, the juggling skills of Popovich, and extremely talented performing pets.

Each show features 15 cats and 10 dogs that were once strays and rescued from animal shelters. The animals perform tricks with Popovich.

Tickets are $22 for adults and $10 for kids.

Tickets can be purchased here.

Also, throughout the month of December SCRAPS is offering cats and dogs for only the cost of licensing. Cats are only $15 and dogs are only $25.

A dog that was trapped on I-90 for at least two days is getting a second chance at life - thanks to some international donors.

Spokanimal believes Peaches was hit by a car on I-90 near Freya sometime late last week. They got a call about the Peaches last Friday. She was found limping around lost hiding in shrubs along the freeway.

With help from police, they were able to get Peaches out of the I-90 corridor and transported to Spokanimal.

"We brought her here she had an injury to her leg and we put her on pain medication over the weekend waiting for an owner to call to claim her, but they didn't, I was just amazed," Spokanimal's Gail Mackie said.  "Look at the eyes, it won us over and how could you not help something like that?"

Peaches was badly injured by the time she arrived at Spokanimal. Her hip joint had popped out of its socket. The veterinarians couldn't pop it back in, so Peaches needed to have surgery. 

She successfully underwent surgery Tuesday and will spend the next two months recovering.

My daughters and I picked up a very pregnant cat from SpokAnimal on June 29th (my oldest named her Snooki).  SpokAnimal needed a foster family to care for Snooki and her babies until they were ready for adoption.

The next morning (Hoopfest Saturday) Snooki had 5 kittens.  Weeks later, those babies are thriving, playful, and adorable!

Lisa, who's in charge of the foster cat program checked out momma and kitties last week.  She thinks Snooki will stop nursing very soon.  When that happens, we'll take her back to SpokAnimal where she'll be spayed and ready to be adopted.  Snooki, by the way, loves to be around people.  She is really friendly and chatty.

Another couple of weeks and her kittens will be ready for adoption.  Any and all will make great pets!
