SUPERFETCH Quick Facts
• SUPERFETCH premieres Saturday, October 3 at 8 PM (ET/PT) with two back-to-back episodes.

• SUPERFETCH is a different type of training show because these pets don’t need to be “fixed”; they are perfect just as they are. We are taking great dogs and making them even better.

• SUPERFETCH follows Zak as he works with pet parents and shows them how to transform their ordinary pet into a trick-doing stunt jockey and in the process strengthens the bond they have with their beloved companion.

• Zak shows pet parents step by step how to teach their animals new and unbelievable tricks. While he is there to support and give guidance, the parents are really the ones training their pets.

• Basic training is essential for an animal to accomplish these incredible tricks. So people who aren’t looking for their pets to help take out the trash or be their video game playing partner will find tips they can apply to their lives too.

• Some of the amazing tricks you will see in SUPERFETCH include a dog riding a tandem bike, taking out the trash and even making the bed.

• The training process must be totally enjoyable for the animal as well as enrich the bond between people and their pets. We never make an animal do anything they don’t want to do and aren’t having fun learning.

• The safety and well-being of the animals is of the utmost importance to us on SUPERFETCH. All of the animals on the show received plenty of food and water and were given ample breaks.

• SUPERFETCH isn’t just about performing a trick for the sake of doing it. The tricks are a way to help people and animals learn more about each other and are about deepening the relationship between “best friends.”

• These wonderful dogs can be adopted through Animal Haven and The Mayor’s alliance for NYC’s Animals. Go to AnimalAllianceNYC.org or AnimalHavenShelter.org for more information.

Additional Animal Haven & Mayor Alliance Information
• The Mayor’s alliance for NYC’s Animals is a coalition of more than 160 animal rescue groups and shelters that are working to transform New York City into a no-kill community by 2015 – where no dog or cat of reasonable health or temperament is killed merely because he or she does not have a home.

• On Saturday, October 10th, the first ever New York Week for the Animals kicks off with week-long celebrations for animals and will continue through October 18. This state-wide celebration is designed to commemorate and build awareness of the importance of animals in our lives, as well as recognize the dedicated organizations and individuals who do incredible work each day to support our furry friends.

• Animal Haven is a nonprofit organization that finds homes for abandoned cats and dogs throughout the Tri-State area, and provides behavior intervention when needed to improve chances of adoption. Founded in 1967, we operate a limited admission shelter/adoption center in Manhattan and mobile adoption van. We also provide programs that enhance the bond between animals and people.
