Hockey and Hounds

Back from the Western Canada road trip, Flyers Head Coach John Tortorella and Jason Myrtetus breakdown the first two weeks of the 2024-25 season. The duo discusses early season mistakes and how the club can get back to a winning-style of hockey. This week, we're findind Chessie, a senior dog, a forever home. Though she is a bit shy at first, this girl warms up quickly with the help of some tasty snacks. Chessie has a loving personality just waiting to shine! She would thrive in a calm environment as the only dog in the household, allowing her the space to feel comfortable and appreciated. Chessie loves to play with toys and tennis balls and will bring you all the joy you could ever need. Chessie is open to meeting older, dog-savvy kids who understand her gentle nature and are willing to give her the time she needs to adjust. Learn more about Chessie at PSPCA.org. Age: 12 Years Old | Weight: 72lbs. | BReed: Boxer and Weimaraner Mix

Flyers Head Coach John Tortorella and Jason Myrtetus discuss the first two games of the team's South Florida road trip, including the win over Tampa Bay. The goaltending situation is affected by injuries, giving the coaching staff a look at Ivan Fedotov, who picked up his first NHL win in Tampa. This week, we're looking for a home for Ang, an 11-month-old sweetheart who has had a rough start in life. Ang was found on the street in the city by a Good Samaritan with two stab wounds. He was rushed to PSPCA and then to emergency surgery, but is now recovering well. Ang is a loving and resilient pup searching for his forever home! He’s through the worst of his battle and he's ready to find a special family that will shower him with love and care. With a few battle scars that only add to his unique charm, Ang is full of puppy energy and adores being around people. Whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or snuggling on the couch, Ang is always ready for some fun! Some dogs really struggle in a kennel environment and Ang is certainly one of them. We are hoping to get this guy into an adoptive or foster home as soon as possible. Learn more about Ang at pspca.org Age: 11 Months Old | Weight: 49lbs. | Breed: Pit Bull Mix

Jason Myrtetus is joined by Flyers head coach John Tortorella to discuss the team's current situation as they fight for a playoff spot. We also revisit Harriett, a previously featured Hockey & Hounds star still searching for a home. Harriet is the most playful and snuggly girl of your dreams. One of her previous foster parents coined the nickname "Miss Rolly-Polly" for her because after a few moments of pets or scratches she'll lean all ~50+ lbs of her body weight into your legs before flopping onto the floor, with her legs fully splayed into the air and all.

Flyers head coach John Tortorella checks in on current events with Jason Myrtetus, and we meet Daktota, a Siberian Husky who came to the PSPCA with severe eye issues that required their removal. Despite her past, Dakota remains incredibly sweet with her personality shining more and more each day. Dakota is very smart and what she lacks in sight, she makes up for in her hearing and sniff skills! She knows sit and shake. She is very affectionate to handlers especially when they follow her training plan. Dakota is looking for a home that will continue her training and learning. She is open to dog meets. She is looking for a family who can help support these needs.

On the latest Hockey and Hounds Podcast, Torts and Jason discuss the commencement of the April playoff push and are trying to find 'Luke Wilson' a forever home. Luke is an incredibly sweet, and cuddly pal. Understandably, he's been a little cautious and nervous, but as he's opened up his more goofy, and spontaneous side has emerged and we are just loving his zest for life! He even tends to nudge, rub or plop his cute snoot on you to initiate snuggles. Luke is also very sniff-oriented so he'd love to find companion(s) that like to venture into nature so he can enjoy all the interesting smells the world has to offer! He knows the commands "sit" and "stay", but is very eager to please his humans and would be able to pick up more tricks with continued training.

If you're interested in a spunky and affectionate companion, Luke Wilson just might be your perfect match! Visit PhillyPaws.org for more information.
