9:02 am
are thinking of their own bottom line as consumers push back against high prices and welcome to the nine. you know the price drops aren't that much. for example, at target, the little box of cheetos or cold fish cheese goldfish. there's only $0.60 less now $0.60 adds up. as depeche mode once says, everything counts in large amounts. but you know, i'm glad to see they're going down and not up. >> at least something at least something is changing, you know, because everything i just noticed i got less money now because every time i go to the grocery store. yeah you know, all those. it's just it's just it never felt it before this art, i don't know. >> and it's interesting because i think when these reports of like target is cutting prices, amazon fresh is lowering. we're like, oh they're doing it's from the goodwill. it's not from the goodwill. can i tell you retail analysts we had one earlier who's like broke it down. and it's funny i always tell my boys as they're kind of becoming consumers. i say if you ever question why a company is making
9:03 am
a move, let's say the fast food chain's bringing back like a $5 value meal. yes, it's to give people a break, but it's because they recognize some people say, i don't want to pay $9 for a burger, fries and soda. it is for their bottom line so they can get them. in this case, i'll take the $0.60 off the goldfish. but at the big picture, it's for their benefit because they know you're frustrated. we are frustrated. so they're like, yes, trying to win us back with goldfish, goldfish and goldfish and value meals, right? >> which honestly is our current work. yeah. >> all right, let's swing out. this is just such a devastating story on a couple of levels here. i've been to this place. it's a beautiful building, but now it's in ruins. new this morning, a popular food court in castro valley is destroyed. firefighters spent hours trying to save the lake chabot public market, but an early morning fire caused too much damage. ktvu james torres is live in castro valley here. james, one restaurant owner there inside the building, says she's struggling to figure out what to do next. >> yeah, garcia, there are about seven different restaurants you can choose from. if you were to walk into this building before the fire here, here's what's
9:04 am
remaining. you can see a lot of damage left behind here. still one fire truck on the scene, keeping an eye on everything. of course, all of those restaurant owners won't be able to make a living here anymore, but one vendor i spoke to earlier this morning says she got a text message earlier today about the fire, but didn't expect it to be this bad. >> the building is fine. so yeah, so we might need to just close one day or two days and it should be fine. but i didn't expect like the roof is like all broken windows, like broken. >> that's the owner of pokay. go within the lake chabot public market, one of seven vendors in the building. she says she and her mom work on the restaurant together and have two employees hired to help them. they've only been in this space for about nine months, they say. while it's a loss for the community having the fire strike right before the peak of summer is an even bigger loss financially for them. user is like the summer is the most popular time and the
9:05 am
most busy time. >> so because in the winter it was quiet and i was like in march, the business catching up. and actually yesterday to yesterday we did great. >> and this is what the fire looked like earlier this morning. crews got here around 2 a.m. after someone called in the emergency, though firefighters aren't actually sure how long the building had been burning before they arrived. they tried fighting the fire from inside, but notice the roof started to give. so out of safety they pulled out and started spraying water from above. they say the roof collapsed by about 330 this morning. people who live nearby say this is a great place to go. after a long hike in the east bay hills, firefighters say it will be a long time before we know what caused this fire, and now the fire department is advising shobo elementary school, which is only about a block away, to shelter in place until firefighters are 100% sure
9:06 am
that all the hot spots in the building are completely put out. we're live this morning in castro valley. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, james, thank you. not a video you've got to see here. police are investigating a burglary involving at least a dozen suspects at a marijuana dispensary in watsonville. all. yeah, surveillance video from that business showing the burglars using an suv to ram and break the dispensary door at around 4 a.m. saturday. police say they stole thousands of dollars of products in a matter of minutes. officers chased the suv involved to hayward but did not catch the suspects. >> the family of a couple from oregon that was killed while biking in napa last year, has filed a lawsuit against the driver and company that owns a truck involved in their deaths. the parents of the couple accused the truck driver of negligence and wrongful death. they're seeking unlimited damages, along with the cost of the lawsuit. authorities say the
9:07 am
cyclists were riding on the silverado trail when they were struck, and killed by a piece of lumber that shifted over the edge of the freight truck as the driver tried to pass them. in october. >> well, a judge has rejected almost all of the requests from scott peterson's lawyer for new dna testing on evidence as part of peterson's effort to get a new trial, a judge ruled only one item will be retested for dna. that one item is a piece of duct tape found on his wife lacey's body. the judge, rejecting the defense's request for dna testing on a mattress found in a burned out van. prosecutors argued the defense was relying on pure speculation and had no proof the items they wanted tested were connected to the case. >> repeated lie after lie after lie after lie. so we're not saying, yeah, he's met this particular point because i don't think you can believe what he says. >> in all of my years, i have never had to litigate a dna motion to this extent, because dna is just a no brainer. it's very concerning that they are so
9:08 am
vehemently opposing dna testing. >> in this case, peterson expected back in court in july. >> it's day two of jury deliberations in the first criminal trial of former president donald trump. jurors in manhattan are now rehearing testimony from two witnesses before continuing their discussions. fox's rebecca castor is in new york city with more. >> jurors are back for more deliberations, and former president trump's hush money trial. but first, they're revisiting potentially crucial testimony. >> it's a very sad day for america. the whole world is watching donald trump back in court awaiting a verdict from the jury. >> jurors want to rehear testimony from former trump attorney michael cohen and former national enquirer publisher david pecker, before continuing deliberations thursday. the 12 person panel also revisiting the judge's instructions about how they should decide the case in new york state. >> the judge the jurors are not given the jury instructions to read for themselves. >> jurors made the request during nearly five hours of
9:09 am
deliberations on wednesday in order to convict trump, the panel must unanimously agree that trump falsified business records in order to cover up a crime, though they don't need to agree on what that other crime was and can individually choose from three options. >> you could have three groups of jurors who view the facts material differently. >> they could disagree as to what crime was behind this effort to falsify business records, and mershon will still treat that as the unanimous verdict. >> trump maintains payments. he made to cohen were for legitimate legal expenses and not a hush money payment for stormy daniels, defense lawyers say they are hopeful the jury will rule in trump's favor. it looks like they're really going to scrutinize the evidence, and we believe that if they do that, if they take their job seriously, they have no choice but to acquit. since the verdict must be unanimous, it's possible the case could end in a mistrial if jurors can't reach consensus in new york. rebecca castor, fox news. governor gavin newsom has
9:10 am
unveiled a new plan to keep insurance companies in california. >> the governor's proposal would speed up the approval of home insurance rate hikes. newsom says this will help lure some insurers back to the state, but consumer watchdog groups argue the move will cost homeowners billions in the next half hour. allie rasmus will join us in the studio with details on the plan and its potential effect on california. we want some viewer reaction this morning. we're asking, has homeowners insurance affected you recently? your options are. yes. can't find coverage? no not yet. or in fact. okay, let me say it again. yes. premiums have jumped. yes. can't find coverage. not yet. those are the options on your screen. you can use the qr code see at the top right. just use your phone to scan that or you can just go to ktvu.com/vote. >> lot of yeses there. >> our insurance jumped 23% over last 23. yep. oh my god i know. >> and between the grocery. >> but but at the same time
9:11 am
we're grateful we have it. >> that's going to say right. >> you feel lucky. >> yeah. yeah. >> so like you're caught in this like oh still though i still a lot of money to be spent. >> trust me, we're all living it. >> yeah. all right, let's move on to this marijuana grows in the east bay. might be subject to new rules. the new limits set in place by one area in contra costa county. but first, more children are being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. we're live with a local doctor to try and figure out why the rise, and breathing claritin clear is like...

cause right now you're going to start there. >> welcome back. first, andre. thank you. >> thank you so much, steve. i think vacation. >> did you well, my friend did you. well i appreciate that. all right. yes. on the coast it was clear. so the temps went right down here. 43. that was at the half moon bay golf links. that's pretty darn cold for the end of may. moss beach, bodega bay, also dylan beach, bolinas, socal, santa cruz and point reyes all between 43 and 49. cool degrees a warm few days. i mean, it really only started yesterday. it'll peak out today. there will still be a few inland tomorrow, but it will be dropping significantly by saturday. so for napa, danville, redwood city, san jose, up we go from the forecast highs 88 to 88, 85 and 85. there will be a few though that will be near the
9:15 am
90 degree mark. wouldn't surprise me if concord is in there of course. antioch, brentwood, fairfield, maybe. cloverdale, calistoga. the usual areas will be there, but this will be it. we'll start to come down a little bit tomorrow. the city's always tough. 72 of going 72. i've seen anywhere from 67 to 74. 53 average 65. 52. the record, though, 101. in 2001, a lot of the records were set on this date in 2001. that's it for the fog. if you're down towards santa cruz, i see a little bit. well, you're the only ones because that's about all there is. look at those water temps. point arena, point race 49, bone chilling cold san francisco, 51, half moon bay, bowie's 52 and one of the monterey bowie's is 53. for the end of may. this is cold, cold water. what's that mean? it means fog is not far away. i think by tomorrow it'll start to make a push on the coast and bay inland, though it won't save anybody today unless you're down toward santa cruz. maybe. but 5060 already 70. vacaville and also brentwood. they'll be in the 90s. napa airport is a little cooler than yesterday. petaluma is a little cooler. half moon bay is, but
9:16 am
most locations are running warmer by 1 to 5 degrees. concord and livermore and san jose. out front, they're the front runners at plus five compared to yesterday. at this time, the high winds out today, there's really not much of a northerly breeze at the surface. there is one in the hills but not very strong. tomorrow it will be warm inland but cooler coast and bay and then a big drop not only on saturday. look at this. on monday, system sweeps by to the north for some rain on the north coast. after that we'll see if there's some heat and everyone keeps advertising it. but the forecast models are not in sync on that. so warm to hot today. sunny, hazy on the warm side. near 90 for a few well inland. so 60s 70s, 80s and then inland upper 80s to low 90s. tomorrow looks a little cooler and then a lot cooler. nice going into the weekend. >> thank you steve. let's go deeper now into a new report from the cdc that says 1 in 9 children in the u.s. between the ages of three and 17 has been diagnosed with adhd recently. the agency says adhd is an expanding public health concern. we welcome to the nine doctor sarah siete, a sutter health pediatric pediatric neurologist. thanks for being with us, doctor.
9:17 am
>> thank you so much for having me. of course, it's important. >> the data we're talking about were collected during the pandemic. what we know was a heightened time of anxiety and depression for children. what do you make of these numbers on adhd? >> well, they are i think they're accurate. i mean, we're recognizing adhd a lot more than we used to, we i think as a society have really changed the idea of what it means to have adhd for years after it was first described, it was thought of as bad kids with bad parents. but now i think we have a broader view of what it means. >> there's quite a collection of behaviors that are grouped into adhd. many people even throw that term around as a joke, right? what is adhd? >> so one thing it's not is a joke or a label or an insult. it's a treatable condition. the concept of adhd is this that everybody focuses. sometimes everybody's not focused. sometimes when you have adhd, you're not focused way too much
9:18 am
of the time. and that causes significant problems in your life. and that is treatable. >> you say it's a treatable condition. many parents are reluctant to even explore the possibility of an adhd, adhd diagnosis, saying they fear will only lead to medication. is medication often or always the answer, and how do you address those concerns? >> well, a couple things. one is what's the point of focus when you're able to get more focus in your life? what happens is that you do the best job that you can . you feel better about yourself. you're motivated to do more, and there's fewer problems in your life and the lives of your family. and when we think about society, see fewer problems for society. so the point of treating adhd is to get more focus in your life. luckilly medication is a wonderful way to do that. it's one of two ways to treat adhd
9:19 am
behavioral therapies are another valid treatment for adhd. but medication works so well it's one of the conditions that i really love treating the best because it's easy to treat. people have huge benefits from the medications. i definitely recommend behavioral management for adhd, and i've written several books about that. but sometimes the behavioral management isn't possible until the medication kicks in. >> let's talk about those parents who hear from a teacher. oh, i think your son might have adhd. have you ever looked into the possibility he has it that can strike fear in a parent's heart? where does a parent take it from there? >> well, one thing a parent would take into consideration is if they're seeing similar things at home, or if it was just that one teacher, because if it's a pattern of issues, it's often best to address it and not ignore it out of fear of what could go wrong. you know that
9:20 am
that you'll wind up with medication you don't want or treatment that you don't want. if this is a pattern of behavior that jibes with your own experience and with things that you've seen before, please take the teachers warnings or comments seriously. it's for your child's best interest. >> yeah. all right, doctor shahid, we'll have to leave it here. it's an important conversation when i wish we could continue. thank you so much for your time and your expertise. >> thank you so much of course, coming up here on the nine, temperatures are ticking up after a cool month of mostly may gray. >> what health experts want you to know if you'll be out in the middle of the afternoon when it comes to safety, that goes way beyond sunscreen. first, though, the supreme court is facing another controversy just weeks before justices released the final decisions for the term. details of justice samuel alito' decision noto step

>> well, the city of oakley is making changes to some of its cannabis cultivation rules. growers may see tougher penalties for cultivating an excessive amount of plants under the new rules, growers can be fined even more for each cannabis plant over the six plant limit allowed by the state. now, this only applies to plants grown in unlicensed commercial groves. the new rules also clarify how property owners can pass responsibility to tenants who may be running illegal. >> groves, one of the 18 longstanding flags outside san francisco city hall has been removed. the city's parks and rec department decided to take down the appeal to heaven flag, saying its pine tree emblem has been adopted by a group that doesn't represent the city's values. an american flag now flies in its place. meanwhile, a supreme court justice is under fire for flying this and other flags outside his home this morning, justice samuel alito is facing calls to recuse himself from cases related to former president donald trump and the

january 6th insurrection. on fox's caroline shively tells us what's at the center of this push. as the supreme court released a number of decisions on thursday, with more on the way. >> justice samuel alito faces calls to recuse himself from pending decisions involving former president donald trump and january 6th rioters. that's because of this an upside down american flag flown over his home in 2021, right after the attack on the capitol, as first reported by the new york times. the flipped flag has become a symbol of those who backed trump's false claims. the 2020 election was stolen. >> he can't play fast and loose with these political symbols without jeopardizing his own integrity, alito responded in a letter to congress on wednesday, saying his wife hung the flag outside their northern virginia home after a personal attack on her from a neighbor, writing, i was not even aware of the upside down flag until it was called to my attention. >> as soon as i saw it, i asked my wife to take it down, but for several days she refused. alito

also addressed this appeal to heaven flag that flew over the couple's vacation home. the flag dates back to the revolutionary war, but has recently become popular among christian nationalists. the justice says his wife bought and paid for the house and has a right to fly what she wants there. >> the idea that a supreme court justice would have to respond to any kind of suggestion from democrat senators that he should recuse himself because of such demonstrations that are completely covered by the first amendment is absolutely absurd. >> the supreme court will likely release its decisions on trump's presidential immunity and the capitol rioters in the next few weeks in washington. caroline shively ktvu, fox two news. >> governor gavin newsom is taking action to bring insurance back to california for a cost. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. we're breaking down the governor's plan that could make insurance more expensive across the board. but first, loneliness and is an epidemic impacting people of all ages. we're live with the doctor, with tips on how to combat loneline ss

temperatures are finally starting to tick up. health experts are sharing ideas on how to protect yourself from the heat. doctors say that blood pressure can rise just five minutes into a walk during the hardest part of the day, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m, usually. so to protect yourself from heat exhaustion, doctors suggest finding some shade and drinking plenty of water. specifically, two thirds of your body weight in ounces. if you wait till you're thirsty, you have waited too long. do you guys make a point of avoiding the sun in the late afternoon hours? or are you like, look, i have things to do and i'm going to do it. i'm out. okay, well, you grew up in florida, so you know what heat is like. >> yeah. and to me, the heat here isn't nearly as bad as what i had to deal with. with the humidity. the humidity? oh my god, no, i know we started. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> i like, early morning walks. yeah. not only for the heat aspect, but no one's around. that's pretty good. yeah. >> all right, all right, let's swing back to a poll we've been watching as you answer, following a call from the governor to change how california handles insurance rate increases as part of an effort to prevent more companies
9:31 am
from leaving our state. we've been asking you this morning if the ongoing issues with homeowners insurance in california have impacted you, we see 68% of you say, yep, my premiums have jumped. the next largest group, 19, almost 1 in 5 say you can't find coverage, 13% say you're not affected, at least not yet. i love to hear what folks think about that. >> meantime, governor newsom's plan aims to bring insurance carriers back to california. but at least one consumer group says it's worried about the consequences. here so, ktvu allie rasmus, she's here to explain the changes the governor is proposing. allie. >> yeah. andre. the governor wants lawmakers to approve a proposal that would let insurance companies make changes to their rates and policies more quickly. right now, if a carrier wants to increase rates or offer any type of policy change, the state's insurance commission has to approve it sometime that approval process can take several months, even years. under the governor's plan, it would have to be approved within 120 days. now, the governor says the sped up timeline cuts out red tape. one industry analyst says he's actually optimistic the change will bring back insurance carriers sped up timet
9:32 am
red tape. one industry analyst says he's actually optimistic the change will bring back insurance carriers hurts consumers, end quote. now california voters passed prop 103 more than 30 years ago. the consumer watchdog group, which wrote up more quickly. if they're approved more quickly, they point out there's nothing in the proposal from the governor that requires insurance carriers to offer more coverage to californians in exchange for that streamlined approval process, the governor wants state lawmakers to add his insurance plan to the overall state budget bill. it's called a
9:33 am
trailer bill. a state budget must be approved by june 15th. >> gasia allie rasmus. thank you. an escaped inmate is back behind bars this morning. daniel lopez zavala escaped from the san benito county correctional facility early tuesday morning. sheriff's office said he jumped a barbed wire fence while doing janitorial work around 2 a.m. tuesday. authorities tracked him to a hotel in san jose, where he was found and arrested with his girlfriend last night. san benito county sheriff says they are recommending that she be prosecuted for her role during his escape. >> as ai tools become more powerful and widely available, state lawmakers are looking to crack down on people who use these tools to create deep fakes involving politics and adult content. they're weighing out multiple bills to tackle these issues. one would ban the use of deceptive deepfakes in most ads within the months surrounding election day. the other would make it illegal to possess or distribute ai generated sexual content that depicts children, even if it's not depicting a real person. >> a number of bills aimed at
9:34 am
protecting children, farm workers and others from toxic chemicals are on their way to the state senate. the bills target several different chemicals found in food dyes, drinking water pipes, plastic packaging. the chemicals have been linked to increased risks of leukemia, adhd, breast cancer and more. some lawmakers are trying to put a ban on lab grown meat before it ever hits shelves. backers say the goal is to protect farmers and consumers. so far, florida and arizona have banned the sale of lab grown meat. iowa has banned schools from buying it. now, federal lawmakers say they're looking into restrictions as well. >> all right. may is mental health awareness month. and today we're touching on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation in the world. health organization says social isolation and loneliness impacts 1 in 4 older people, and 5 to 15% of teens are dealing with it, too. for more on how to combat loneliness, we're live with kaiser permanente clinical psychologist doctor jackie shields. doctor shields, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. >> all right. so jackie, i'm going to go through some stats here which eerily reminiscent of you say these stats when people
9:35 am
smoke. but this is related to loneliness. the surgeon general's office says it increases heart attack risk by 29, stroke by 32, dementia by 50. i mean, this is pretty staggering considering it's not something that you are physically doing to your body. talk a little bit about that. >> exactly. so loneliness is a feeling. it's not just the amount of social interactions. one has and in a time period, but it's a it's the quality of your relationships. and it's not just an emotional issue, but it's actually become a public health concern. yeah. >> we saw that the surgeon general issued a report on it last may 1st year ago. you can have social interaction but still feel alone. i'm trying to break down the folks so they understand what the feelings are. because you may hear this, but it may be abstract. but how can you have social interaction but still feel alone? >> yes, it's a it's certainly a distinction. so loneliness is a subjective feeling. it's a quality. it's the authenticity you feel in a relationship. social isolation is merely the
9:36 am
number of social interactions you have in a week, in a month, in a year. >> and as far as the, the, the, the feeling of alone is that tied to depression or is it something separate? well, just a few months ago, actually, san mateo county has deemed this a public health concern because of the increased risk of depression anxiety. >> we are social beings and when we are not finding that quality in the relationship, finding meaning, increasing stress, all of that, it can be really, really harmful. >> so that leads to this. so you said folks who are surrounded by people or in long lasting marriages can also feel alone. how is that happening? how is that possible? >> yes. so we've all heard, you know, being in a room full of people but feeling alone, that's loneliness. it's the feeling that you don't feel seen. you don't feel heard and you don't feel connection. >> and you talked about a little bit about this a moment ago, the lack of authenticity in the relationships that you do have there may be more surface. so a surface level relationship is
9:37 am
different than a deeper connection with someone. a surface level can still lead to loneliness. >> exactly. so when you talk with someone and you talk about your workday and your and the traffic, you know, in the morning, that's what we call surface level. but when you talk to someone and you get down and you talk about your emotions, what's stressing you out, what your hopes are, your dreams, your goals, that's what people are lacking and feel lonely with that. >> and that is what i want to get to the root to, because many people can have lots of friends, but the friends can. you might just be talking about just things that really don't touch an emotional part of you. and that's really where we're getting to with this perfect. okay. all right. so let's talk about what we can do for this. what is a good treatment for this. yes. >> so people people people are the treatment genuine people genuine friends genuine genuine authentic connections. so clubs volunteering reaching out. we often, you know, kind of we have friendships that we don't really put so much effort into. and we
9:38 am
have to kind of cultivate, cultivate our own happiness. we have to be in charge. >> so you're saying the person that is feeling lonely sometimes you don't necessarily reach out to the friend to cultivate that deeper relationship, and that will help if you step out of your comfort zone and try to cultivate that relationship with someone. >> yes, if you have anxiety, the natural thing to do is to avoid that anxiety. but we know in the field of psychology that exposure is actually the counter to that. >> maintaining those relationships is what you're saying here. technology to maintain relationships. how can that factor into all of this? yes. >> so technology, social media apps, you know, sometimes it has a bad reputation, but use it to your advantage. go out there, set reminders on your reminder app, reach out to so and so and say, hey, let's grab a cup of coffee. let's connect. send an hour. those little exposures will help minimize your anxiety with it. >> and then going to, you know, using apps to find events that you'd like to go to with people is also there's something out there for everyone. all right. and be aware of negative biases.
9:39 am
in other words, be careful how you evaluate your relationships. what does that mean? >> we sometimes are quick to judge our rejection levels, and we may not be accurate in that. so take a moment, look at your relationships and think about what rejection actually means and whether it's perceived rejection or real rejection. >> all right. there's a lot to get to. this doctor shields is very important. the stats say it right there. if it can affect your heart, your well-being, it is important something you need to pay attention to. so we appreciate your time today to let people know about this and pay attention to it a little bit more. >> yeah. reach out for help. it's not a weakness. it's a sign of strength. >> all right. thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. two mountain lion sightings within hours of each other coming up on mornings on two. the nine, the ongoing search for the two mountain lions in the family neighborhood. plus saturday is california. adopt a pet day. take a look at these cuties here. we're live with the san francisco spca with everything you need to know about a f op

a.m. in friendly village mobile home park. after the big cat roamed through that neighborhood. police say they tried to find it, but they couldn't. then, around 4 a.m, there was a second sighting. check out this video here. just two miles away on fair meadow way. as brief of both sightings were, they were enough to concern the neighbors. >> i've been in this community in the last 24 years, and it's just really surprising, surprising to find out that there's a mountain lion on the loose, because there's a lot of kids out in this community. i think that maybe they come back looking for food or something. >> well, police recommended that you do not leave food, including pets, outdoors. >> researchers have new recommendations for when you should spay or neuter your dog. scientists at uc davis say the certain breeds are more at risk for cancer and joint diseases linked to being neutered too early. the research started with golden retrievers back in 2013. researchers have now added 39 other breeds to the study. they find some breeds, such as golden retrievers or beagles, should
9:44 am
not be neutered earlier than 12 months of age. some, such as german shepherd, shouldn't be neutered before they're two years old. >> these were breeds where we had the information on the birth date, the neuter date. if the dog was neutered, and full diagnostic criteria about joint disorders and cancers and what we learned was that with these five breeds, they had very specific effects of neutering, depending on their age. >> we have a link to the full list of recommendations for 40 breeds of dog on our website. head to ktvu.com. click on web links. >> if you're searching for a companion or a new family member, this saturday is adopt a pet day. that means pet adoptions will be free. for more on the statewide event, we're live with an moellering san francisco sba, spca chief of rescue and warfare, and she brought a guest. an animal with you, yes, i did, this is hawk, who is a really sweet two month
9:45 am
old husky mix, and he will be available as part of this inaugural adopt a pet day. you know, i've always gotten my pets from either saved organizations or or an organization like yours. you don't have to go and buy an expensive animal, especially when so many would love to have your home, right? >> absolutely. and, you know, one of the biggest reasons we're we're doing this, it's an unprecedented collaboration between over 170 shelters across the whole state of california is we're trying to bring more awareness to an overcrowding problem that's also going on across the state. so many, many shelters have more animals than they've had in years, which is why it's so important to adopt. >> and why do you suppose that is? why are we seeing more animals in shelters? >> there are a number of factors of that. one of the biggest is that during covid a lot of spay neuter practices were closed and
9:46 am
so people didn't have access and animals didn't have access to spay neuter. in fact, at this point, there are over 344,000 animals in shelters right now that don't have access to spay neuter. and that's because of a really big vet shortage across the country. so it's kind of a perfect storm right now, which is again, why we're jumping in to do this first time event. and collaboration. >> if you're looking for a pet, what will you get? you'll get the animal. will the animal be checked out before you give it to the person? >> absolutely fully checked out both medically and behaviorally, and will be microchipped and vaccinated and ready to go? >> got it. how much does it normally cost to adopt an animal , for example? >> there are different price points, but a puppy is $400. if you take what we have online, which is called a puppy parent quiz, you can get 50% off that number. a kitten is $200, a dog
9:47 am
is $175, and a cat is $125. but most importantly, they are all free this coming saturday. that's a big saving. yeah. >> so if you were thinking about it, this is this is happening at your shelter. you say it's happening everywhere. >> yeah, yeah. 173 shelters, i believe, across the state. and locally. it's also happening at oakland animal shelters, at friends of alameda, up at marin humane, as far down as the humane society of silicon valley. so it's pretty exciting time. so when it comes to getting a dog and puppies are just so cute. >> i mean, just look at it there. but you know, they will get into stuff. they'll stop, make a mess at first, but what people don't realize is that that does go away in most cases, right? >> yes it does absolutely. over time. and i'll defer to our expert and behavior right here. who can talk a little bit more about it. >> yes. so yeah hawk is a two month old puppy and puppies are a lot of work. and the important
9:48 am
thing is that we give them species specific behaviors that they're able to do. so making sure that they have plenty of enrichment to do. tearing and shredding is a normal behavior for puppies to do. so, giving him things like toilet paper rolls like i have with him right now that he can shred, will help with him staying in a home where he's not becoming destructive and chewing up furniture because we're giving him appropriate things like paper towel rolls and boxes for him to shred and keep entertained. >> right? and there is no class on how to be a pet owner, but you will help people you know, at the very least by giving them some information as to what to do, right? >> exactly. we have a really great resource library on our website, and if you do adopt a puppy, we have a amazing puppy parent orientation that can really help get the puppy and the new adopter set up for success. >> all right, ladies from the spca. this is exciting news for people who want a pet. and they
9:49 am
can go to your shelter or many others around the state to adopt an animal for free this weekend. >> that's right. on saturday, the first. all right. >> thank you very much for showing up. the california adopt the pet day, as she mentioned, is saturday. adoptions are free. the bay area's first latin music festival is this weekend. the reason why organizers say a festival like this was long overdue, and gordon ramsay's food stars is back for season two. and to celebrate ktvu is giving away $2,500. visit ktvu .com/ contest to enter for your chance to win. and don't forget to watch an ll new food stars we esday at n
