>> thank you for having me. >> tell us about these chihuahua puppies. >> we rescued sadie and seymour, we rescued their mommy from a shelter down south about. two days after we rescued the mommy, she had a little of five. in fact, this is their 2-month birthday today. they were born in our shelter. they are spayed and neutered and ready for adoption. >> we were talking about this before. chihuahua make up a disproportionate amount of puppies and dogs that end up in shelters. why is it so important to get them spayed and neutered? >> it's the way california is. i came from a shelter back in delaware. in delaware it was pit bulls. people have been attracted to the breed and then because of a lack of spaying and neutering, you end up having sort of this overpopulation situation. >> these guys can go together or they can go separately to a

home? >> absolutely. >> seymour is the little boy. he has a wire hair long coat. there is sadie with the smooth coat. talk about the personality characteristics and which homes chihuahuas do best in. >> they love to be with families. they love kids. they love to be frolicking around. of course, they are small so you don't need to have big yards. they are pretty active animals. any time you can have a dog like this go into a home with activity is great for the animals and pets. >> they are really sweet. they are getting a lot of conditioning as puppies. >> yes. we try to socialize them. when they come in, once they reach the appropriate weight and age, spayed and neutered, microchipped. vaccinations. we try to associate them with other animals and people. if they go into a situation

where there are other pets, that is not a new situation for them. >> and so important to give a dog from a shelter or rescue home a place to live with you. these guys need it. >> yes. it's estimated about 6 million animals, dogs and cats are euthanized each year in public shelters. we encourage the public, if they are interested in a pet, to go to a rescue shelter and take a look around. >> al, thank you so much for your time this morning. pets in need.org. that's where you can get all the information you need to find out more about seymour and sadie here celebrating their 2 month birthday today. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> finally from the catch to the painted ladies and hundreds of football vintage photos, you can see them inside the art collection at levi's stadium. it features 200 original pieces of art from sculptures to sketches and 500 photographs. it highlights the history and bay area culture. thank you for making us a part
