Dottie is Featured in Extreme Home Makeover

Look very closely in the basket and you will see Dottie, a recent HSGKC shelter pet. Next to Dottie is Ty Pennington, the exuberant TV personality of Extreme Home Makeover.

A few weeks before the taping of a Kansas City, KS Home Makeover Show, I received a call from the show's producer. He asked to see if we could provide a Toto-type dog for the taping of the show's opening. They were planning to spoof a scene in The Wizard of Oz and have Ty play the role of Dorothy.

We were happy to provide Dottie for the taping, with our volunteer coordinator providing supervision. If you were able to catch the February 10 show, you'll see little Dottie did a terrific job sitting in the basket as Ty pedaled the bicycle. (She had lots of treats in the basket.)

Great news about this TV star -- she was adopted several months ago and is doing great!
