00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to the director of pr

2
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and Communications for Pasadena Humane, our friend Kevin McManus. Good morning, Kevin,

3
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Amy.

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:09.199
<v Speaker 2>How are you.

5
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. So we're getting ready to wiggle and waggle.

6
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>So give us a little info on the Wiggle Waggle

7
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Walk and Run for Pasadena Humane.

8
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's our biggest fundraiser of the year and it's

9
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>coming up April sixth at the Rose Bowl at Brookside Park.

10
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 2>And it's just that wise, you know, it's just a

11
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 2>really fun fun day to come out with your dog

12
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 2>and support Pasadena Humane and have a great walk around

13
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 2>the Rose Bowl and do all trends of other fun things.

14
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, And so we know that we do this walk

15
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>every year, and like you said, it's a lot of fun.

16
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>There's food vendors and people you know, show off their pups,

17
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and there's costume contests and all that stuff. But behind that,

18
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>we're raising money.

19
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's right.

20
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>People are being bombarded for donations, you know, from kind

21
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 1>of every angle. So let's talk about Pasadena Humane and

22
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>what you do and why people should consider donating some

23
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 1>of their hard earned money to pacading A Humane.

24
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think even eating fire certainly kind of shed

25
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 2>a light to like probably a wider audience of the

26
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 2>work that we do on a daily basis for the

27
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>animals in our community, and you know that includes, you know,

28
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>having a state of the art I see you for

29
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>animals who came in during the fire, who were burnt,

30
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>who we were able to provide them with care we're

31
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>still reeling from, you know, the kind of the aftermath

32
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>and still caring for a lot of pets that people

33
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>who don't have homes to go back to. You know,

34
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>we're basically kind of dog sitting for in a definite

35
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>amount of period for some of these folks and other

36
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, just amazing things that we do on a

37
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>daily basis, like our Spain Mouter clinics and our amazing

38
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>foster program that's now being pushed to its limits as well.

39
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>And we're on the verge of kitten seasons. So yeah,

40
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>even though and certainly we've been among them asking for

41
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>donations most recently, but this is our chance to kind

42
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>of fund the programs that we do every day for

43
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year.

44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, in Pasadena, I think you're right that, like we've

45
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>known about because we work with you, so we know

46
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>about the great work that you guys do to take

47
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>in animals, make sure they're healthy, check them out, and

48
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>get them ready to get into their new homes. But

49
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>then being inundated with you. It was more than a

50
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 1>thousand animals that came in after the fires.

51
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Right right, Yeah, it was well twelve hundred through the shelter,

52
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>but that it was really just a fraction of the

53
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>ones we are caring for because of all the other

54
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>work that we did out in the field in the

55
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>burn area.

56
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we got to go. We came to visit

57
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and took some video and in fact it's on my

58
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Instagram at Amy K.

59
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>King.

60
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 1>You can see we go in and you're treating some

61
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of the animals and you can see there, you know,

62
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>where they're burned and singed, and you guys are patiently

63
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like nursing them to help and making sure that they're

64
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, that they're ready for their owners when they

65
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>come to get them or if they if they can't

66
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>find the owners, that they're ready to find.

67
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>A new home. That's right. Yeah, I mean we still

68
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of the burn victims who are still

69
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>receiving care and hopefully Yeah, I mean I was talking

70
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to our chief veterinarian yesterday and she's saying, one of

71
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>these poor cats who came in very early on in

72
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the fire like still needs a couple more surgeries before

73
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>and thankfully we know who her her family is. But yeah,

74
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>she's had a real, real long road, but hopefully soon

75
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>it will be you know, back with her her loving family.

76
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.960

101
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, we had such great luck with adoptions the

102
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>first couple of weeks after we kind of restarted that,

103
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>but we still have a lot of big dogs are

104
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>looking for homes. And so if you're in market for

105
