<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm really excited, So tell her tell.

7
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Us about the walk for anybody who may not be

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>familiar if they haven't heard me talking about.

9
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 3>It a lot on Waco, call.

10
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, Wiggle Waggle Walking Run is our biggest fundraiser at

11
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 2>the year, excuse me. And we have basically a big

12
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>dog walk at the Rose Bowl and then you know

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of like a fun you know, vendor event and

14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>booths and doggy costume contests all that kind of stuff

15
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>at Brookside Park. So it's Sunday, April sixth, from nine

16
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>to eleven. And yeah, you don't need a dog to

17
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, participate, but it's a little bit more fun

18
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>if you do.

19
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

20
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>And last year you said kind of all all walks

21
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 1>of dogs are welcome. We had a lot of dogs

22
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 1>last year that came in strollers like they just couldn't

23
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 1>make the walks, so they got pushed around the route.

24
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 3>So all dogs are welcome.

25
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Right of course. Yeah. Yeah, Obviously, if your dog is

26
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable with other dogs, maybe this isn't the best event

27
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>for him or her, But other than that, yeah, every

28
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>every dog is welcome. You know, there's two options for walking.

29
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>There's the five mile or sorry, the five k, the

30
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>three mile loop around the entire Rose Bowl, and then

31
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>there's a one mile loop, which a lot of the

32
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>smaller dogs or older dogs or those in strollers choose

33
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to take. But a lot of fun things for pet owners,

34
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of great vendors. This year. Subaru has this

35
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>cool activation they're doing and they're they're sponsoring all the

36
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>adoptions that happened at our Wiggle Waggle Wagon this year,

37
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>which is really cool.

38
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>So you're gonna have dogs out on site again this year.

39
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 2>That's right, You have adoptable dogs. Yeah, so, and there

40
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>some of them will be walking with our volunteers and

41
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously decked out so you know who's who. But yeah,

42
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you're looking for a dog. And that was a great

43
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>time too.

44
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

45
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 1>And as we've talked about before, last year, I got

46
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>to walk this beautiful Doberman pincher and had some volunteers

47
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>with me to make sure that everything went well.

48
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>But she was just awesome.

49
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 1>And I had somebody on the walk who didn't have

50
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>a dog, and they were asking me about her and

51
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>they ended up adopting her.

52
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, so you just even if you.

53
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Show up without a dog, you might go home with one.

54
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the great things of Wiggle Waggle Walk.

55
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 3>And I would have.

56
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Tap my eye on one for you. Amy, I've got

57
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 2>my eye on a dog right now. He's gonna be perfect.

58
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>If he's still arrived. He isn't adopted by that he's

59
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>your dog.

60
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, yay, I can't wait.

61
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I miss having a dog and I love to get

62
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>to have one just for a couple of hours. And

63
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>then the costume contest is always so much fun, Like

64
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of dogs dress up for this and you

65
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 1>have a whole.

66
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Contest going so many it's crazy and people go all out.

67
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's one of my favorite parts. Just like

68
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm overwhelmed with people's creativity and how they can, you know,

69
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>dress out, how can they get their dogs to put

70
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>on a costume, which is also a feat. But then, yeah,

71
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>the creativity that goes into some of these these costumes

72
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>that's really stunning.

73
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Kevin, let's talk about because we know that

74
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>you said it's the biggest fundraiser. We know that you're

75
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>asking people to take their hard earned money and donate

76
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 1>it to Pasadena Humane. So let's talk about what the

77
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>money that we donate and what the money we raise

78
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>is going to do.

79
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Well. It helps us with all of our programs that

80
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>we do throughout the year. So that's our animal ICU,

81
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>which was kind of, you know, really highlighted during the fire,

82
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 2>caring for animals that were injured and burned in the fire.

83
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Our foster care program, argument education programs, are Wildlife like

84
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 2>all of the things that we do for the animals

85
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>in our community that gets funding directly from events like this.

86
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>So that's why we you know, we know people have

87
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>been overwhelmingly supporting us for the last few months because

88
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>of the fire, but we're asking for just a little

89
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>bit more because this this will help us do what

90
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 2>we do all year long.

91
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and if you want to see some of what

92
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>they do, we posted it on Instagram after we came

93
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 1>and visited you after the fires, and it's at amy K.

94
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 3>King.

95
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>But Kevin took us into one of the operating rooms,

96
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and we got to see one of the little cats

97
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>who was being treated and some of them that are

98
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>that were on the road to repair after they were

99
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>burned in that awful fire. And then are you still

100
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 1>boarding some of the animals or is everybody back in

101
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>their homes.

102
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>We still have about one hundred and forty animals that

103
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>we're caring for, and you know, that's definitely like a

104
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>long term need as well, just kind of so that

105
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately that is expensive. We're not charging any of the

106
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>pet owners anything, you know, we know that they're going

107
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>through a lot and have lost homes. But yeah, so

108
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>we're caring for their pets until they can, you know,

109
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>make the next step in their you know, journey to recovery,

110
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>which you know, it actually impacts the shelter a lot

111
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 2>because you know a lot of good chunk of those

112
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>are still at the shelter itself. We have a lunch

113
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 2>in foster homes too. But you know, it makes us,

114
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, just kind of every dog that comes in,

115
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 2>we're already like we need to have a plan on

116
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>how to get that dog adopted. So it's a lot

117
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>of pressure right now for us because of that. But

118
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>you know we're making the best of it when you know,

119
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 2>obviously we're going to be there for the community for

120
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>as long as it takes. Yep.

121
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>And I know that we're talking about dogs for this

122
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 1>weekend because of the Wiggle Waggle Walk, but it's almost

123
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>kitten season, so keep that in mind.

124
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. We've already gotten letters of

125
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>kittens in and we have a kitten shower coming up

126
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of weeks which will be a fun event.

127
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>So people are interested in fostering kittens, that's a really

128
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>good opportunity and a good way for us to kind

129
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>of share the share the load of caring for the

130
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>thousands of kittens that we'll get in.

131
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And if they are interested in fostering or something,

132
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>can they just go to Pasadena Humane.

133
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Exactly yeah, or if they're at the walk, I know

134
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the foster team will be there with an informational table.

135
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 3>Awesome.

136
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.639
