BRIAN RAMBARRAN: I tell you, the biggest thanks I get from when
I land are the puppy kisses.
That's about as much thanks as you need.
I ended up coming upon a website called Pilots and Paws.
They link pilots to different types of shelters
and rescue programs.
And they link us to be able to fly between certain areas,
kill shelters, things as such.
I probably do maybe one a month.
Basically, we'll set up some flights
and we'll get some dates down.
In North Carolina, there's a lot of dogs in kill shelters.
When Kristy takes in enough of the dogs,
we'll put together a flight.
It's just the awareness that is
coming to us from this and the attention
that we've been getting.
I mean, we've had people reach out
to us to apply to foster, to apply to adopt,
to apply to volunteer.
I mean, this transport alone has probably raised
$7,000-$8,000 for us so far.
We just adopted one about a year ago.
His name is Toby, and he came from a high-kill shelter
in Asheville.
Little did I know the day that I picked
him up that I'd be keeping him.
I have two daughters.
They've come along.
They've helped us unload the animals.
I try to teach them as best as possible to do volunteerism
and just to help communities in general.
When I went to go help my dad unload,
it was so sad because they were in such bad condition.
They were really skinny.
They smelled.
They didn't look like they had got fed for days.
Knowing they're going from kill shelters to loving homes,
it feels really good knowing that they
get a second chance in life.
