OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS RUBY!!!

Meet Ruby, a sweet and well-mannered girl who is looking for her forever home. Ruby has an incredible personality and a love for the outdoors. She walks beautifully on a leash and absolutely enjoys going on walks with her humans. Her calm demeanor and good manners make her an ideal companion for anyone who enjoys a peaceful, affectionate dog.

Ruby thrives on spending quality time with her people, whether it's a relaxing evening at home or an adventure outside. She came to the shelter with another dog, but Ruby can be a bit selective when it comes to her canine companions. If you already have a dog, a meet and greet would be necessary to ensure they are compatible and comfortable together. Ruby does not do good with cats.

Ruby is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. HER ADOPTION FEE IS ONLY $75.00!!!

She is fully ready to join a loving home. Ruby would be an excellent addition to any family looking for a sweet, well-behaved companion who loves to spend time with her humans and enjoys the simple pleasures of life.

If you think Ruby could be the perfect match for your family, FILL OUT AN APPLICATION  come meet her today!

The List for Monday, July 21st 2025

Welcome to The List,

Luke Bryan’s out here adding gasoline to the CEO/Cheating-at-Coldplay scandal! At a recent show, he asked the crowd, “Who’s here with their secretary tonight?” Then warned, “Don’t get caught!” Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen, from his Phoenix stage, said, “I’m not gonna snitch like Coldplay… I don’t support cheating — at least not anymore.” Growth? Or just better PR?

-----

Zac Brown Band just dropped a new track with... wait for it... Snoop Dogg. It’s called “Let It Run” — and surprise! It’s about smoking weed. Because when you think country collabs, you think beards, banjos… and blunt rotation with Uncle Snoop. No one asked for it. And yet… here we are.

-----

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon could be packing up their desk jokes soon. With Colbert already out, insiders say “No one is safe — not even the Jimmys!” Audiences want viral clips, not hour-long setups and fake laughs. Fallon makes $16 million a year, Kimmel gets $15 mil — and apparently neither gets ratings anymore.

-----

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are reportedly heading for a very polite Hollywood divorce. Word is, they’ve been living separately since his DUI, and Jessica’s just… done. The vibe? “Amicable” in public, awkward silence and shared custody calendar behind the scenes. The papers are coming, and apparently, everyone in Hollywood already knew. You didn’t hear it from me... but also, yeah you did.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
