 Oh crap, oh that's your dog, what? Oh, it's so cute, what's he calling his pet? He's a cornemix, so this is someone that would have gotten put down. Oh, babe. I want Marlene McCohen here. How are you guys? I miss you. We have an important urgent video today. I didn't even tell George about it. That's how urgent it is. I don't recommend you doing that if you're in this situation. Let me just tell you what the situation is. 55 dogs were scheduled to be euthanized today at the Riverside Shelter. A very excellent rescue organization called Barks and Bitches. My sister's involved with, she's fostered for them before. My sister put the word out and I decided like, you know what, I wanna save one of those dogs today. So that's what we're on our way to do. My sister is gonna foster a small one of those today. So we're in an urgent hurry. I haven't had time to tell George cause it's today. You know, this has all happened really fast so he's gonna come home and see a dog. Also my sister-in-law, see it was coming. My sister picked him up, didn't tell her what we're doing either. Yeah. Ty, did you put the blanket in the car for? I put it in the back seat. What do you mean in the back seat? In the back seat, with the jacket that was over there. What do you mean there's a jacket over there? You put it over the jacket? Ty, that's even funny. Oh my God. Ty, also the cat, put the cat back in the YouTube room before any dogs come. Psycho. And don't tell George, okay? Like cause at this point it's just gonna be more fun to surprise him. You're not leaving the house, are you? No, I'll be here. She just called and my sister was gonna foster a little dog and now they said, oh, they have a problem like that one got adopted or something and got swooped up. So what's a snafu? She wrote snafu. Pick up or like a- Okay, well she wrote snafu and that basically now it's two large dogs and Jenna told her fiancee that she's bringing a small dog. That's gonna be a big dog. Hi, Ty, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell? I got a little excited with his lunch today. Yeah, right, chuchu. Oh, hi, Ty. Hi, Ty. Hi, Ty. The fact that there's two- To what? Is that right this now? I don't wanna drive, I can't feel. What does CEO think is happening? Oh yeah, that's a good question. All I know is we better not go to one of those doggy rescue things. This is the location? Yeah, it's just a house. Hold on, I got like some stuck in a cactus. I'm gonna lock the door. How do I lock the door? Here we go. Look at Ty. Since May 1st, they have impounded 800. Well, here's the horrible part about the whole thing. Riverside, their jurisdiction is also the Coachella. Oh, right. Shelter, which is I think of a smaller, yeah, smaller shelter, but just on Monday alone, they impounded 60 to 65 dogs. And out of the 800, so what do we have? May 12th, the 800 dogs that were impounded, 700 of them came in as strays. Listen, we didn't even make a dent. We made a dent for the dogs we got and all the dogs that hopefully end up in some decent homes. But it's just gonna fill right back up again. Yeah, that's my heart. So, yeah, it's just this horrible thing that spay and neuter is your, you know, answer. Oh, hello. I know, what a good dog. The dog's always visiting a crab. Oh, that's your dog. Oh, it's that. What? Yeah, it's just your dog. That has been, that's part of like damage from a husky from, you know, many years ago. So the dog is eager to meet us. I know. James Dean. We named him James Dean. Aww. I love him. Yeah. Yeah, so wait till you meet him. He's just, and he was the one that was set to be used in ice today in New York. Ahh! So when you meet him, you're gonna just think like, how, and he's been there for two months. Over two months. Yeah, yeah. Probably closer to two and a half months he's been at the shelter. So he had to go not because of anything about him, but just because he's been, they have to do it by date. Right, right. Kind of thing. But when you meet him, you're gonna think, why? Oh my God. He's fantastic. So what we're doing now is like, there's two dogs and Jenna's going to. This is James Dean. They don't neuter him for rescues. Aww. I think he's going with Jenna. I think so. I think so. He's hot, but what's your call it in his head? He's a core gaming. He's a core gaming. He's a core gaming. Let's go down. He's a shepherd? You're kind of calm. Well, I say that now, but once they get back. He's cute. I know, right? Hey buddy. So this is someone that would have gotten put down. So there is two though, right? Yeah. Yeah, the other ones in the yard. Marlene's waiting to see what's behind door number two. Hi, cute. That's a lot of energy. This is Nip, Marlene. Hi. George is going to be really into this dog. Joey's absolutely going to kill me. Yo, they're like siblings. Sit. They think that there's a treat involved. Oh, you're so cute. Keep in mind, James Dean scheduled to be euthanized today. So this dog got out. Let me see no butter. I'm going to say it to life. So the most important thing that people have to realize it's so exciting when you rescue a dog or get a dog out of a shelter or, you know, any situation that's been uncomfortable. They're in a very vulnerable state of mind and it's no different than us as humans. When we go into an unknown environment, we're a little bit more vulnerable and susceptible. I always tell my fosters, you think that giving a lot of affection when you first bring in a dog if you want them to like you is actually doing more harm than good. I always say leadership over love. The worst thing that you can do when a dog leaves is when you're leaving is to heighten the sense of emotion like be a good dog, help with beeping. You know, all of that and heighten their emotion when you're walking out on the door. Now the door becomes a problem. When I walk in my front door, the dogs know I'm home, they hear the car. I walk in my front door and I just do it without ever thinking. I walk in, I don't make eye contact with them. I walk right through them. I put my things down. And then in the separate part of the house, once they're calm, they then get the greeting. So, and I've never had an issue as a result of that and it's just kind of a natural thing I do. Even though all my dogs are fine, I come and go as I please. I still walk in and I still maintain that same entrance and leaving. That's a very hard thing to do. So it's really easy to, you know, be creating bad behaviors in our dogs, which also leads to more dogs needing to be put up for adoption and things like that. So I think that's really good advice. I think the most important thing that I can say is it's pretty horrible what's happening to dogs. You know, and it's not just the Shelter Riverside that we just pulled from that's in this catastrophe. It's shelters everywhere. And it certainly shelters everywhere in Southern California at full capacity. I just want to tell people that to really kind of jump in and if you can be a volunteer for your local shelter, if they allow the dogs to get out, you can walk them, spend time with them, take them to a yard. It just means the world to the dog. I think that's super important. I also feel that if you have other ways you want to contribute, you know, latch on to your local rescue, your small grassroots rescue who's hitting the pavement every day. I like we do. You know, we hit the pavement every day and we go to where dogs need help. The big, huge, huge corporations, I think that it's like either five or 10% of your donation literally goes to the dogs. Fostering is huge. Definitely the biggest thing you can do. And if you can't do any of that, you know, send in a donation, you know, bring over food, just latch onto a shelter, help those dogs that are impounded or help a grassroots rescue in your community, that's going to be a great job. Be the foster auntie. Yes, you are. There you go. No, no, not in here, not in there. So, um, to crazy, oh my God, oh my God.
