LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Leila Fadel. Some say that dogs can't help but fall in love with their human companions. Perhaps that's why the humane society of Pasadena, Calif., created dating app profiles for dogs needing a permanent home. Adoption fees have been reduced to $14 if you swipe right on a large dog to celebrate Valentine's Day. But don't worry. You can go on a first date or make an adoption appointment before committing to your match. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
