1
00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:01,790
And I look at you.

2
00:00:02,780 --> 00:00:04,439
So just tell me a little bit about

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,429
what is happening today.

4
00:00:06,430 --> 00:00:08,489
Okay, so we flew from New

5
00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:10,789
Jersey to

6
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:13,509
Janesville, Wisconsin here today.

7
00:00:13,510 --> 00:00:15,449
Paws to Rescue is transporting

8
00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:17,529
20 beagles that were rescued

9
00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:19,729
from a research facility

10
00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:20,809
to New Jersey.

11
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:23,949
When they're there, they will be

12
00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:25,849
met by three different rescue

13
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:28,269
organizations who

14
00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:30,949
will provide essential animal

15
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:32,789
medical care

16
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:34,989
and behavioral

17
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:36,029
support.

18
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:38,549
In addition to that, we have

19
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:40,429
40 dogs that

20
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:43,029
will be transported by ground

21
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:45,189
continuing

22
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:46,190
this effort.

23
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:55,749
Let me ask you a question that you

24
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,049
don't need to practice.

25
00:00:57,050 --> 00:00:58,729
Why do you volunteer for this?

26
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,499
Because I absolutely love

27
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:04,339
the animals and

28
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,399
it's for a greater cause

29
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,900
to give back to the community.

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,779
We're not just transporting animals

31
00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:15,799
or saving lives,

32
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,919
we're also improving people's lives

33
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,819
because I often

34
00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:26,560
hear from

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,600
brief.

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,019
Loneliness or depression,

37
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:31,799
and that's such a powerful

38
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,079
connection that they have with these

39
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,959
animals, and

40
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,099
it's extremely rewarding.

41
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:40,739
How many flights have

42
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:42,389
you done like this?

43
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:44,289
I have done about, this will

44
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:46,829
be my 36th mission,

45
00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:47,849
I have been with the Talos rescue

46
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:49,619
for about a year and a half.

47
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:52,419
Um and is

48
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:54,319
every situation like this

49
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,659
one where it's a breeding facility

50
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,579
or a testing facility

51
00:01:58,580 --> 00:02:00,779
or does it really depend

52
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:02,299
Most of the time this is a special

53
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:03,539
case for us.

54
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,259
We've never usually done a mission

55
00:02:05,260 --> 00:02:06,439
like this.

56
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,739
Usually our mission is from

57
00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:10,579
South Carolina or the South

58
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:12,519
where the shelters are

59
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,739
overpopulated or they're

60
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:16,140
a killer shelter and they don't have

61
00:02:16,141 --> 00:02:18,239
space for these animals.

62
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,879
So this is special mission for sure.

63
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:21,900
Um...

64
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:26,069
So what does it mean to

65
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:27,609
be able to be a part of this

66
00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:28,610
situation?

67
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,699
These precious lives

68
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:38,759
will go somewhere safe

69
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,039
and where they can go to

70
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,399
a loving safe home

71
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,359
which the animal

72
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,839
deserves to

73
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,799
live a normal life not

74
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,800
in a cage.

75
00:02:52,829 --> 00:02:55,769
So Pause to the Rescue is

76
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:57,749
specifically the

77
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,809
transporter from one place to

78
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,369
another and you

79
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:04,070
work with other shelters.

80
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,099
Uh, correct.

81
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:09,790
I'm not.

82
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:12,889
I'm not too familiar with

83
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:14,929
how that operation

84
00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:16,769
works, but we have about

85
00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:18,769
a hundred animal rescue

86
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:20,789
shelter partners that we

87
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:22,110
are partnered with.

88
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:25,329
We transport the animals to them and

89
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,789
they will basically take care of

90
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:29,829
the medicals and

91
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:31,169
getting the animals adopted.

92
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:39,500
We got about...

93
00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:42,820
2016

94
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:48,360
We've got about 16 crates,

95
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,519
we can combine two in

96
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,939
a bigger one and then we'll put one

97
00:03:52,940 --> 00:03:54,999
in a smaller one.

98
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,139
Is it a tussle?

99
00:03:57,140 --> 00:03:58,999
Not at all, usually

100
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,059
they will bark in the beginning on

101
00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:02,979
the takeoff because it's a little

102
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:05,059
louder during the take-off roll.

103
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,039
But once we're up in cruising

104
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,919
altitude they usually go

105
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,599
to sleep, the engine noise kind of

106
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,320
acts like a white noise in the

107
00:04:11,321 --> 00:04:12,339
background so they usually fall

108
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,340
asleep.

109
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:17,219
Um, do you know like how many pilots

110
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:18,479
you have and...

111
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:23,229
We're growing a lot in the appellate

112
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:24,229
to rescue.

113
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:27,049
We got about 12 volunteer

114
00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:28,569
rescue pilots.

115
00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:30,149
And they all have their own

116
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:31,689
profession on the side.

117
00:04:31,690 --> 00:04:34,349
And they volunteer their time

118
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:36,189
when they're available

119
00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:38,199
to do these missions.

120
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,039
How did you get involved with them?

121
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,589
How did you connect with Pilots?

122
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:44,309
I got to connect with Pallet to

123
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:45,809
Rescue because I had followed them

124
00:04:45,810 --> 00:04:48,049
on social media and

125
00:04:48,050 --> 00:04:50,249
one of my close friends were

126
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:51,969
one of the Pallets to Rescue pilots

127
00:04:51,970 --> 00:04:54,389
and obviously

128
00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:55,890
I love animals and I love flying

129
00:04:57,249 --> 00:04:59,130
so it's flying the animals and

130
00:05:00,289 --> 00:05:02,449
flying it's cherry on top.

131
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:03,459
Do you have your own?

132
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:04,879
I do, yeah.

133
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,199
We have a rescue.

134
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,200
His name is Mac.

135
00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:10,899
We rescued him when he was two years

136
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,999
old. He was abused previously.

137
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,919
But he has a safe and

138
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,299
loving home now.

139
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:18,679
What do you think is most important

140
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,149
for people to know?

141
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:21,989
To go to your

142
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:24,229
local shelters to rescue

143
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:26,329
you these precious

144
00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:27,330
lives.

145
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,179
Save these lives and

146
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:35,999
stop these research

147
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,159
or tests

148
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,200
on these dogs.

149
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:46,299
Um, is there

150
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:47,300
someone?
