00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.519
people as possible. I don't know if Bill can hear us.

18
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.439
I tried to take over for you a little bit there. Bill,

19
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:21.200

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.040
always start to show, I want to ask you to

22
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.040
share this with as many people as you can. I

23
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.280
know Michelle was busy today posting all over the place,

24
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.680
all over the world, and of course subscribe in life

25
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.920
so that we keep our algorithms growing and growing and growing,

26
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.920
our viewing and everything else, and there will be The

27
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.480
chat room is always so if you have questions for

28
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.920
us or for our guests, we really appreciate it. And

29
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.640
it started to hear Michelle, I want to say something

30
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.840
about our special guests today. I've had the privilege of

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.959
working alongside these people for several years now, and I

32
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.959
can honestly say, of the people that I work with

33
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.400
over the last six years in the industry, these are

34
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.039
some of the most passionate people I have ever found.

35
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.960
I feel like I found somebody that has my passion

36
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.759
as well. And it's unfortunate sometimes because I'm so busy

37
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.639
running the business, I don't always get a chance to

38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:23.599
chat with them as.

39
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:24.599
Much as I would love to.

40
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.599
But we're gonna have a chance to chat tonight, and Michelle,

41
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.080
I'm going to turn it over to you for the

42
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.120
introductions and all the goodies.

43
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.400
Do you hear me, Michelle, Are we having a problem, Well.

44
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.759
Hope, Puy, my internet doesn't kick us off. So across

45
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.800
there's everyone, because I am so delighted to part of

46
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.439
the Milk Drunk foundation that is a foundation for helping

47
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.599
neo natal pets, and I would love to welcome Michelle

48
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.439

49
00:02:58.560 --> 00:02:59.680
She's the vice president.

50
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.000
Michelle Bacoor is the founder and owner of the Milk

51
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.240
Frunk Foundation. So welcome, Welcome Michelle, or welcome shall else.

52
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.879
Yes, welcome. I don't see enough of you, as you know.

53
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:15.120
I'm Michelle.

54
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.759
Hi, guys, Hi, thank you so much for having us.

55
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.199
It's an absolute pleasure. And I share the same sentiment.

56
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:24.039
Bill.

57
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.240
It's been an issue, absolutely fantastic being able to meet

58
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.080
you guys and work alongside you guys and collaborate.

59
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.039
And then I'll let Abigail introduce herself as well.

60
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.240
Hi everyone, I'm Abigail.

61
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.919
I haven't met you in person, Bill, but Michelle has

62
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.479
told me wonderful things. She's always messaging me. She's like, oh,

63
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.280
I just visited the store and I saw Bill. We

64
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.759
were talking a whole bunch, and you always give great

65
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.199
recommendations for all the pis and our reviews to the foundation.

66
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:53.879
Hi.

67
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:54.719
Good.

68
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.159
You know you know, I don't know if you know that,

69
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.319
but with the new store, we're putting in an education

70
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.840
center and we would love to have and give a

71
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.680
talk on what what what really goes on behind the scenes,

72
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:12.000
because it's you know, with restaurants, it's not always what

73
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.279
you see at you know, the the events and things

74
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.639
like that. I've been working with rescue groups, believe it

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.720
or not, for over fifty years on my sixty year career,

76
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.879
and I've watched an industry that has changed so much

77
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.160
because of regulations and rules and things like that. You know,

78
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.439
my opinion, my honest truth, is that I want to

79
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.079
take animals from bad places who can be good places,

80
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.480
and there are steps.

81
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.680
In the middle that sometimes have to be done. And

82
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.680
you know, everybody wants.

83
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.199
And hopes for the perfect ideal pack, and of course

84
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.920
we know in the screening process quite often that they

85
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.560
don't really always take in it consideration, you know, the

86
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:02.399
needs of that particular breed, their living conditions, their economic situation.

87
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.800
And that sort of thing. And it's you know, some

88
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.759
of the things that we have to teach him about.

89
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.920
And I know, Michelle, you know, working with you with

90
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.120
you know, some of the challenge animals you've had, seeing

91
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.560
some of the successes you've had, it, you know, it

92
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.160
brings it brings joy to my heart because these animals,

93
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.759
you know do need the extra care, and the people

94
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.480
that normally end up there are the ones that are

95
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.920
really really educating themselves on what needs to be done.

96
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.959
And of course you know, with you and I, of course.

97
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.839
With the feeding, starting with the feeding itself good food,

98
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:37.839
that's help.

99
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.199
Yes, absolutely, I completely and one hundred percent will hardly

100
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.199
agree with you. I think that the biggest problem in

101
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.279
rescue is that when we intervene, we do so by

102
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.560
completely going away from the root of the problem.

103
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.720
Most often than.

104
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.800
Not, the root of the problem is we do not

105
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:03.480
have the correct building blocks to help the animal have

106
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.439
what they need to get better.

107
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.720
So we pump them full of medicine and we treat

108
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.879
all the symptoms, but we're not treating the root costs.

109
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.199
And most often than not, if we just allow.

110
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.439
Them to heal themselves by providing them the correct nutrition

111
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.480
and the correct love, sometimes we don't even have to

112
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.720
use any medication. And that's essentially how the Milk Drunk

113
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:31.439
Foundation started. I was ever so lucky that when I

114
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.920
was thinking about it, we came across I came across Abigail,

115
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:41.000
and she shares very similar sentiments, which is sometimes intervention

116
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.879
means doing nothing and letting the pet get better just

117
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.240
by providing it what it needs without having to do

118
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.360
all these crazy things that most rescues do. And sometimes

119
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.360
that also means that you don't spend as much money,

120
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.920
so then you can save a lot more. So the

121
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.120
money that we would otherwise have to spend in like

122
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.879
crazy er bills and that sort of thing. We do

123
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.839
spend that money at my bedio pad, and we get

124
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.439
amazing food and we know that we're giving the pets

125
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.759
that the right nutrition, the supplements.

126
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:11.680
That they need.

127
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.519
I mean, you know, Bill, we've we've come in there

128
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.279
with animals that were missing skin and fur and eyes

129
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.920
about to fall out and couldn't walk, and you said, oh,

130
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.680
you know, let's try this, and let's do this supplement,

131
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.759
and let's do this you know, blend of food. And

132
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.360
we literally just watch them get better by just eating

133
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.959
the proper too, the biologically appropriate food, rather than pumping

134
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.519
them full of chemicals and highly processed stuff.

135
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.399
Well that's that's an interesting thing, was it? Because first off,

136
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.240
according to the FDA, all drugs are toxic.

137
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.959
So how do you fix a problem, And of course,

138
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.639
your the problem is that most veterinarians, unfortunately, most medical

139
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.199
people are not studying physiology. I harp on this on

140
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.879
a lot of shows. If you don't you know, physiology

141
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.199
is how the body works.

142
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:05.240
If you don't know how the.

143
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.160
Body works, how can you fix it? You know they're

144
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.360
using a protocol that's basically pre programmed. It's in every

145
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.480
veterinarian computer. You know what drugs are used, what you

146
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.279
know remedy programs, you use, what testing to do. And

147
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.839
unfortunately a lot of times it's based on how much

148
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.720
money you have in your bank account too. What's your

149
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.759
Curdit's like, you know, you don't need a five thousand

150
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.919
dollars procedure and oh, by the way, we have a

151
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.200
care card here for you for five thousand dollars. You know,

152
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:43.039
that's not how that's business. And I've been in this la,

153
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.759
I say, for over sixty years now. I started out

154
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.799
in animal science. I mean I will be working with

155
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.720
all kinds of livestock, horses, cows.

156
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.159
Cheap chickens, and everything on that end.

157
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.639
When I was in my college years training horses, even

158
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.399
as did a spind with basically exotics tigers and Florida

159
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.480
panthers and tigers and of course all the normal what

160
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.279
we would call normal exotics, raccoons, you know, hetchhogs and

161
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.039
all of that stuff, as well lizards. When I started

162
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.159
in the industry.

163
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.480
The industry was allowed to sell things like monkeys and

164
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.000
Kota Mondy's and things like that, So I handled all

165
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.039
that stuff throughout my career, and a lot of birds,

166
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.759
exotic birds and tropical fish. It's all the same.

167
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.080
You have to treat the animal, which is animalists. You know,

168
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.840
whatever that animal is, we have to cater to them

169
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.519
and understand them. Otherwise we fail. And we don't want

170
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.159
to fail with our animals because we're the ones that

171
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:43.039
are responsible.

172
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.919
And I apologize. I had to go on my phone.

173
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.000
Were we able to get answered? Like what inspired the

174
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.440
Milk Drunk Foundation's name, because that's really that.

175
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:54.480
I love the name.

176
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:56.919
I thought everyone was going to think we're talking about

177
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.039
getting drunk today.

178
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.519
Milk drunk, Yes, drunk.

179
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.399
I used to do Martini mondays.

180
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:12.759
On the show tell Us I have tell us tell

181
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.519
Us how that came about.

182
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.960
Yeah, So, I'm not sure if you have any experience

183
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.159
with neonate animals or I think humans do it too.

184
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.519
But when we're feeding a baby, essentially they get milk

185
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.799
drunk when they're drinking, so they'll kind of like they're

186
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.480
with kittens, like their little ears will twitch and then

187
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.639
they'll slowly start to close their eyes and they'll still

188
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.240
be suckling, but they'll be half asleep.

189
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.519
They essentially get drunk off of the milk.

190
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.039
And it's kind of where the name comes from, especially

191
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.600
since we do specialize in neonates. So all, like ninety

192
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.879
of the animals that come into our care are still

193
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.000
bottle feeding, so we have all of the little milk

194
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.320
drunk babies that are well fed and happy.

195
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.519
Oh so you do bottle feed and is there any

196
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.080
other source set of food that you do give the babies.

197
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.600
Yeah, so they're all bottle fed.

198
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.799
So once they come in as neonates, which is under

199
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.279
four technically under eight weeks old, but when they're under

200
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:05.919
four weeks old.

201
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.000
They are still bottle feeding.

202
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.440
And then once they are weaned, all of our animals

203
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.679
are weaned onto a raw diet which we buy from

204
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.360
my Pelio pet.

205
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.480
Oh wow, I did see video. I saw some babies

206
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.399
eating it. What age would you say? They start eating

207
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.120
it after four weeks? Amnia, that's incredible at four weeks

208
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.440
everyone feeding raw? I mean, and this is the only

209
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.519
foundation that I'm aware of that does this. You know

210
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:36.320
that is incredible, Ladies, just incredible. You have your own

211
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.120
journey to talk about, Michelle about if you want to

212
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.360
tell us a little bit about your past and.

213
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.799
How it led you into the Milk Drunk Foundation.

214
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.200
Yeah.

215
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:47.600
Sure.

216
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.720
I am a midwife, a nurse midwife. So originally I

217
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.639
went to school to help human neonates and when I

218
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.159
decided to retire because.

219
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:01.159
We were moving out of the country.

220
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.960
Long story short, came back to the States a few

221
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.039
years later and decided that rather than helping human babies

222
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.759
because I wanted to focus on my own children, I thought,

223
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.120
why not help animal babies And that is what led

224
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.240
me to fostering.

225
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.320
And then as I was fostering, I realized.

226
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.759
What we were just talking at the beginning with Bill,

227
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.799
that you think you're helping these animals, and now that

228
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.120
I'm saying that the rescue that I worked with before

229
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.200
because I love them and we have a great collaboration,

230
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.120
but I disagreed in many of the ways that they

231
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.120
tackled certain issues and I wanted to do it a

232
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.600
little bit differently. Still keeps coming on the screen. So

233
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.200
that is how the Milk Drunk foundation started, we wanted

234
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.559
to do what we wanted to do in a different way.

235
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.960
We wanted to be able to provide them the ballot

236
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:00.399
and appropriate food, not just for the raw food, also

237
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.120
for the milk because we had a lot of issues

238
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.440
and even recently there was a recall on some of

239
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.039
the puppy formula. So we do a combination and we

240
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.879
use a lot of the raw milk products at mypeliopad

241
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.120
to make our own milk as well as by colostrum.

242
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.320
It is very very important for meonates that do not

243
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.279
have mother's milk to have some of that colostrum, so

244
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.519
we source all of that from my peliopet And I

245
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.360
really do think that just having that little bit of

246
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:34.240
a change, which seems minuscule, but in reality, it serves

247
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.919
as the building block to allow for these animals to

248
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.600
have success later on in life. And we have a

249
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.759
huge live output rate because of it. A lot of

250
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.879
the babies that would otherwise not make it somewhere else

251
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.399
are making it with us because we are providing them

252
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.039
the best possible nutrition.

253
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.279
Ever, so is it protocol or is it standard when

254
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.480
someone adopts these babies that you ask them to continue

255
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.639
on the journey of raw.

256
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.200
We try our very best to educate and Abigail can

257
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.320
probably tell you more about that, because I don't really

258
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.720
do any adoption processing, so I don't know the exact

259
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.840
number of families that decide to stick with the raw,

260
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.600
but I do know that I have bumped into at

261
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.639
least a dozen, most likely more now over the years

262
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.000
of past adopters that continue to pump the purchase of

263
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.159
food from my Peglio pet.

264
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:27.200
But Abigail can tell you a little bit more about

265
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.120
how that process is.

266
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.200
Yeah, so we highly recommend to all of our adopters

267
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.720
that they keep the pets on raw, especially since the

268
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.360
neonates that.

269
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.799
Have been weaned onto it have been eating it for

270
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.159
weeks already. They're used to it.

271
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.200
Unfortunately, a solid chunk of our adopters don't. I would

272
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.759
say probably out of every thirty one and thirty, we

273
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.720
have had over seven hundred adoptions. So if we were

274
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.200
to limit ourselves by only approving families that will feed raw,

275
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.840
it would hinder the number of adoptions we'd be able

276
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.240
to have. We do provide all of our adopters with

277
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.200
a week's supply of the raw food that they're currently on,

278
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.120
so they can transition them if they do decide to

279
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:08.639
transition them to another diet. But we have noticed a

280
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.799
couple of times during that one week transition they kind

281
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.000
of learn about the raw and they're like, oh, this

282
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.519
is actually kind of nice. And that's when the majority

283
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.240
of them will then reach back out and be like, hey,

284
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.919
like where did you guys get this from?

285
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:20.840
We want to keep doing this.

286
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.480
Well, that's awesome because we're getting the word out.

287
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.399
We really appreciate that.

288
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:25.799
Of course.

289
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.720
You know, I've been involved in in commercial raw foods.

290
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.519
I actually introduced it to South Florida twenty years ago.

291
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:36.200
We get celebrated twenty years and you know, as far

292
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.360
as expanding that program and that sort of thing, Michelle

293
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.080
talk to me, you know, we wanted to get more

294
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.480
out there.

295
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.279
You know, we're at a point now.

296
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.600
Because we just moved our store, as you're familiar with,

297
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.799
completely different look.

298
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.759
Completely different feel.

299
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.480
We've got some new people in there that are really

300
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:58.639
highly excited about promoting our goals and our things, like

301
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.360
we have the education the educational center coming in and

302
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.039
we want to do that set up more and more programs.

303
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.080
I've got several new foods on them that I'm coming

304
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.720
out with by the way to expand that selection. You know,

305
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.039
when you look at raw diets in general, with all

306
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.519
the other the bigger commercial ones and this sort of thing,

307
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.840
you know you have a choice of three or four

308
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.279
diets as all, no selection at all. And you know,

309
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.919
I do like twenty five because that rotational diet is

310
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:33.320
so important for building that gut bio diversity, vitamins, minerals,

311
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.200
every food brings different things to the table, and that's

312
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.000
part of the beauty of it. You know, I do

313
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.679
the same thing even with my herbal products. I rotate, rotate,

314
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.320
rotating because again different minerals, different vitamins, different nutrients, and

315
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.799
different cleansing as well.

316
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.759
Cleansing is a big part of that too, by doing

317
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.279
the rotation.

318
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.279
I wanted to ask you, Michelle, how long has the

319
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.399
foundation been in existence, because you said seven hundred adoptions

320
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.559
that's amazing.

321
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.960
I believe we officially incorporate in June of twenty two

322
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.920
and the first year I think maybe we hit not

323
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.599
even fifty adoptions. So it's been significantly an exponentially increasing

324
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.559
year after year.

325
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.559
And I understand that you don't have a physical place

326
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.759
for people to go to, so how would people be

327
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.400
able to adopt or foster these babies.

328
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.319
You want to tackle. Goe abi sure.

329
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:31.480
So all of our adoptable babies are posted online. It's

330
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.200
on our website. If you look at our page, the

331
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.839
Milk Drunk Foundation dot org, you can see all of

332
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.599
the pets we have currently available for adoption. And if

333
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.240
you're looking for something specific that you don't see listed

334
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.319
on our site, you're more than welcome to shoot us

335
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.359
an email or send us a message via Facebook or Instagram,

336
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:48.640
and we'd be happy to send you photos of the

337
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.640
babies we currently have available or ones that'll be available soon.

338
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.519
Being a foster based rescue, we do need to tackle

339
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.799
the adoption process a little bit different than a traditional

340
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:04.000
shelter would, so everything is done virtually. The adoption application

341
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.079
is all online. Once we receive that, Michelle and I

342
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.880
and the rest of our adoptions team runs background checks,

343
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.039
we do vet references, and then we conduct a virtual

344
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.039
home visit with that family. Once that process is fully

345
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.960
complete and the applicant is fully cleared, we set up

346
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.000
either a virtual meeting greet or an in person meeting

347
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.079
greet where they can meet the pet, and if that

348
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.079
all goes well, they're able to take the pet home

349
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.720
that day, and then as for fostering, we provide all

350
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:31.920
of the supplies, cover the cost of all medical care,

351
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.799
and it's really just families that are open to providing

352
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.599
a space in their homes to these pets, and we

353
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.440
do all the rest of the work.

354
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:45.200
How long is the foster? I'm thinking for myself, how.

355
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.200
Long I have to ask you?

356
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:50.720
Because we're up against a break. You good question for

357
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.119
after break. We'll be right back after it with commercial break.

358
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.119
Does your pet suffer from allergies, cancer, digestive issues, or

359
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.000
joint and skin problems? These can be for poor nutrition,

360
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.000
and My Pilio Pet can help. Don't let your pets

361
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.319

so that health Guru along with Michelle, my co host,

391
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:27.559
and two fabulous guests from Milk Gronk Foundations. Michelle, you

392
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.240
were asking them a question before we went to the break.

393
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:31.839
I didn't mean to cut you off, but you know.

394
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:32.759
How these breaks up.

395
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.400
We have to make money anyway, and on this little phone,

396
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:41.119
I can't even see myself, but that's I'm just curious

397
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.039
about how many months do you allow people to foster

398
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.920
or there's no set time, So we have.

399
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:54.400
A minimum that we ask not because we're being rude,

400
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.400
but because we want continuity of care for the pets.

401
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:02.119
You know, we don't want that is starting to decompress

402
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.400
and starting to become social and learning that place where

403
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.720
they are are it's safe, and then.

404
00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.079
We move them to a different home.

405
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.759
So we do ask that you have a minimum of

406
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.759
three weeks to give us before we have to find

407
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:19.400
a new foster home.

408
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.079
But you can foster for as long as you want,

409
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.240
like in my case, because I don't have a choice.

410
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:26.759
I've fostered three hundred.

411
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.400
And sixty five days out of the year, and sometimes

412
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.359
I have fostered three hundred and sixty six days.

413
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.839
So it feels like anyway, you're two of you very

414
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.799
hard workers. God bless the both of you. That's awesome

415
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.240
work you're doing. I ablige you both.

416
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.680
Thank you so much.

417
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.279
Yeah, that's Natty.

418
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.200
Now, what I think that you and I have many

419
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:50.160
many conversations on is about, you know, what rescues do

420
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.960
sometimes as far as standard of care, and it's a

421
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.680
bit of a conflict for those of us in the

422
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.200
natural industry because some of those procedures, of course, involve

423
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.480
removing body parts that are essential and things like that.

424
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.880
But you've kind of worked around that in many many ways,

425
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.880
which I was also teaching back in it probably fifteen

426
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.480
years ago when I had my animal hospital.

427
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.559
We couldn't get practitioners to do it. You want to

428
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.680
tell you a little bit about what that procedure is.

429
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:24.359
Yeah, So we do vasectomes.

430
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.359
Specific to canines, we do vasectoms and we do over

431
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:33.279
it sparing space, so that in the human world it's

432
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.319
like the equivalent of a hysterectomy for females and then

433
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.079
the same of asectomy for males, so you cut the

434
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.759
vast deference, but you're not actually removing the testes on

435
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:48.759
a male dog. This allows for the preservation of their

436
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:53.279
hormones so that they're able to grow without having any issues.

437
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.519
You reduce the chances and risks of a lot of cancers.

438
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.279
Of osteo issues also issue shoes, as well as behavioral

439
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.440
issues that sometimes can come about from just the mere

440
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.799
fact of pediatrically sterilizing these animals.

441
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.640
So I don't know if we are the.

442
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.920
Only rescue because we really did have a hard time

443
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.799
finding a provider willing to work with us, not just

444
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.759
ondoing the procedures, but on the price, because there are

445
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:23.480
quite a few.

446
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.000
Providers nowaday, but the price is astronomical.

447
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.599
So when I first started looking into it for my

448
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:33.079
own personal pets, I paid upwards of seventeen eighteen hundred

449
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.680
dollars for an over experienced pay for my personal labrador,

450
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.839
which we couldn't possibly afford in the rescue setting. Because

451
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.319
when we're charging an average a four hundred and fifty

452
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:47.440
dollars adoption fee for a puppy and then you throw

453
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.240
in an eighteen hundred dollars procedure.

454
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:51.440
Where do we buy the raw food.

455
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:54.480
Where do we buy the minimum vaccines that we use

456
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:58.240
because we do have to follow certain standards that the

457
00:24:58.359 --> 00:24:59.240
state requires.

458
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.559
But still, you know, we need supplies. If you're talking about.

459
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:08.720
Kiddies, we need litter, We need toys and leashes for

460
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.680
the dogs, and harnesses and all the tea pads. You know,

461
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.920
you go through so many pepads when you're training puppies.

462
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.240
So when you have these procedures that are astronomically priced,

463
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.400
then you really can afford to do the alternative. But

464
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.680
we have been ever so lucky that we and Abigail

465
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:31.799
has been surmountably helpful in helping me locate this network

466
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.720
of people, Like we've literally built a bubble and we're

467
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.960
so happy in it because we just have everything that

468
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.920
we need, like the perfect veterinarian team that helps us

469
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.039
with all of the cases that we have. They're supportive

470
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.680
of us feeding raw. Then we have you Bill, who

471
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.559
is able to provide us with so much food at

472
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:52.359
such a such a discount.

473
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.880
We are so thankful.

474
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:59.799
And then we have the amazing foster families that some

475
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.119
times Bat and I are certain practices.

476
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.599
Because you're not used to it, but it's so great

477
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:06.200
when we.

478
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:09.359
Have a foster family say hey, you know, I tried

479
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.079
a little bit of the raw food that we had

480
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.079
for our puppies, and our dogs like it, and we

481
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.240
decided to switch them. It feels like, you know, we've

482
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:20.240
gained an ally without really trying, Like we're just showing

483
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.920
them why it's better, without pushing them to do it,

484
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.880
and they just kind of organically do it themselves. And

485
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.079
it's it's very rewarding to see it happen right in

486
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.839
front of your eyes.

487
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.839
Wow, yes, it really is. I mean, you know I

488
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.160
experienced them obviously on a daily basis. I know that

489
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:41.119
we've been watching with the new store almost every day

490
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.519
we have new clients, and of course you know that

491
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.799
we also promote that same good health to pet parents,

492
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.359
because if you're not a healthy pet parent, how can

493
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:54.279
you take care of your baby, you mean or animal.

494
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.599
I wanted to help Base.

495
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.880
You know, Bill, I didn't know if you had men

496
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:04.240
prior because I wasn't on the pet babies that you

497
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:09.480
deal with. They have a few little abnormalities, nothing major.

498
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:14.079
I wanted you to explain that to our audience. You know,

499
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.039
maybe you can get into the cleft palates, the congenital

500
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:18.880
things like that.

501
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.119
Yeah, so you will take it, yeah, yeah.

502
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:28.480
So the abnormalities that we see in animals really does vary.

503
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.000
We take in a lot of different special needs animals,

504
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:33.759
a lot of animals that come in from the shelter

505
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.960
that need iron nucleations, or need amputations or a million

506
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.079
different things. But a big group, a big chunk of

507
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.720
our special needs pets are our cleft pallette puppies. These

508
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.400
puppies are all breeder surrenders because they cannot nurse from

509
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.759
their mother.

510
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.160
But we have had one or two come from the shelter,

511
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:52.519
it's not as common.

512
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:55.720
So essentially, a cleft palette is when they have a

513
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:58.839
hole on the roof of their mouth that connects basically

514
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.759
their mouth to their knees cavity, so any liquid or

515
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:04.240
anything that they eat will essentially just go right up

516
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.519
into their nose. And as newborns, they cannot be bottle fed,

517
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.119
they cannot nurse from their mother because that will just

518
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.160
cause aspiration will go up their nose and then into

519
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.799
their lungs and then unfortunately developed pneumonia, a bunch of

520
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.319
different things.

521
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:16.160
It's not good.

522
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:17.400
They can't be fed that way.

523
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.720
So all of our klefft babies are strictly tube fed

524
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:24.000
until they're weaned, and once they're weaned, they weaned straight

525
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.440
onto raw food, just as all the other animals and

526
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.920
our rescue do, and they absolutely thrive. It's actually something

527
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.000
I personally was really surprised by when I had my

528
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:33.759
first Klofty.

529
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:35.759
Michelle was kind of like, oh, just give him raw

530
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.559
and I'm like, what.

531
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:39.119
Do you mean, Like it's gonna go up his nose, Like,

532
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.960
I can't do that.

533
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:44.640
I'm so shocked. It completely worked. It didn't go up

534
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.200
his nose.

535
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.880
He just ate it and a little bit would get

536
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.799
stuck in his cluff palate and he could kind of

537
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:51.559
like just use his tongue to scoop it out. And

538
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:54.680
we've actually had a lot of adopters with our Cloft's

539
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.000
where the puppies are being fed, we're on our rescue,

540
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.279
they're doing great, and then they adopt them and they

541
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.880
transition them to kibble or they transition them to another

542
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.440
type of fresh food, and they're like, oh, like we're.

543
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.119
Having all the issues. We're going in and out of

544
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:06.400
the vet.

545
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.680
They're having your eyes, they're having this and that, and

546
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.000
it's because it doesn't work with they're cleft as well

547
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:12.720
as the wall does.

548
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:16.799
I truly don't really understand why, like what the difference is.

549
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.440
It just really does work, and all of our clefties

550
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:20.559
really have thrived on it.

551
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.400
Luckily, aside from the cleft palate, most of them are

552
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.599
just regular happy puppies and once they figure out that

553
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:31.440
eating around four weeks old, they really thrive.

554
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.720
That's beautiful.

555
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:36.559
Yeah.

556
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.759
One of the problems that you have off with kibble

557
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:43.160
and even a lot of the commercial fresh food is

558
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:47.839
the high carbohydrate amount and that has a tendency to

559
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:53.160
stick because of the basically the gluten glue and we'll

560
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.839
stick in net palette and of course the dry food

561
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:04.039
then starts absorbing moisture and expa and basically.

562
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.240
Plugging up that hole. But that's not a good way

563
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:05.119
to plug up that hole.

564
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.640
You know, we want to do it naturally by rebuilding

565
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.119
the tissue, which is really what happens with when you're

566
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.039
on a good raw diet and you know, proper botanicals

567
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.359
and things of that nature to detox and build a

568
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.839
mineral base for the for the animal. Minerals are the

569
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.599
basis for all of this stuff, and it's you know,

570
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:25.480
I mean, I know Michelle talking with you over a

571
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:28.039
dozen a dozen dozens of the cases you know where

572
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.319
oh they're you know, we're three weeks in, four weeks in,

573
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:33.400
five weeks in, and now they're like normal.

574
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.680
And that's that's that's a testament to the success.

575
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.559
It's like the things that have happened with cancer is

576
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:42.640
the same thing we take them off with kid, but

577
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.839
we put them onto a raw diet, a few different

578
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.200
herbs and botanicals, and the next thing, you know, the

579
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.799
vents are going like, I don't know what you did,

580
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.920
but maybe keep trying it.

581
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.960
Why don't you try to learn, you know, from.

582
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.279
You know, from people that are that know, from the

583
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:02.759
practical you know, you and I, Michelle, we've been doing

584
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:06.200
this together. You know, I guess you probably you found

585
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.279
us right away because I didn't know that you were

586
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:09.880
in business that short period of time.

587
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.799
To be honest, it was like, where are you been

588
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:13.119
for like twenty years that I've.

589
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:13.359
Been doing this?

590
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:14.960
Yeah.

591
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.880
I as soon as we decided that we were going

592
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.359
to start the rescue, I wanted to make sure that

593
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.039
we were going to operate at the way that we

594
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:24.200
wanted to operate.

595
00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:26.400
I didn't want to be kind of caught with my

596
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:27.680
pants down, like here we are.

597
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:29.440
We want to do this, but we can't afford it,

598
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:32.480
which is the reason why I started to panic initially

599
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.519
about the sterilization methods because I wanted to make sure

600
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.160
that we had a provider that was going to work

601
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.279
with our pricing. But yeah, I think we came across

602
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.440
my Peliopet online. I just was looking for rough food

603
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.480
providers and at the time, I was purchasing food for

604
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.839
my dogs from a different provider, but then I found you.

605
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.000
So I've switched over the majority of our pets are

606
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:01.480
eating strictly my pelio pet. You know, we we buy

607
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.400
the a bunch of your blends for special cases as well,

608
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:06.839
you know, depending on what we may have.

609
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:12.119
You know, we've had puppies like you said, where we had.

610
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.599
That's completely stumped because they had all these congeneral issues

611
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:18.880
or what we thought were congeneral issues, and really just

612
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:22.559
by adding the botanicals, adding the herbs, adding the row food,

613
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.240
they just organically got better.

614
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.680
And then we have the vets trying to wonder what

615
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:29.480
just happened, Like we had X.

616
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.960
Rays four weeks ago and the dog looked horrific, And

617
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:35.400
then now we have X rays four weeks later, and what.

618
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.359
Did you do? We just ft the dog, just them.

619
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.039
Back when I started in the business, we didn't have

620
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.039
powerful virus.

621
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.240
Okay that was that was a man made, man induced

622
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.279
xing induced pathology.

623
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.319
And we none of us knew what to do.

624
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.359
And I just went back to my Our veterinarians couldn't

625
00:32:58.359 --> 00:32:59.839
help us right now, so I went back to my

626
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.119
health basis.

627
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.200
You know something, you got to feed the dog. You

628
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.079
have to build energy.

629
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:08.920
And we did hambiger and rise back then, and we

630
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.440
did some media wize some honey and had a ninety

631
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:17.119
nine percent success rate when the veterinarians were having less

632
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.079
than thirty percent. It's like, you have to feed them,

633
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.680
do the right stuff that way, and you know, if

634
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.000
you as long as we go back to the basics,

635
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.079
the body regenerates, we're going to be right back after.

636
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:28.599

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.039

660
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:26.079
Chool and Abigail and Michelle, our special guests with the

661
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:27.239
Beltbrook Foundation.

662
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:31.760
Hopeay, Michelle, you had a question for them, Yes, so, Abigail,

663
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.440
I understand that you do most of the educating for

664
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:35.320
the foundation.

665
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.039
Talk about where you educate and what are the topics.

666
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.400
Obviously it's about your foundation, but where do you usually

667
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.199
do this and to home?

668
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:48.840
Yeah, So a big part of our education and promotion

669
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.400
really is digitally, so via our social media. We try

670
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.679
to make sure that all of our social media posts

671
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.800
are focused specifically on not only our rescue, the animals

672
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.440
that are in our rescue, but kind of they're special cases,

673
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.679
really promoting them and promoting our values and what we

674
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.840
believe in as an organization. I have done a couple

675
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.639
of other promotional events and just educational events events. We've

676
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:16.159
done a lot of adoption events where we'll bring pets

677
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:18.360
out into the public to promote them for adoption and

678
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:19.760
also educate our community.

679
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:21.559
I've also spoken at a couple.

680
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.480
Of schools and libraries to kind of just educate the

681
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.039
public not only on fostering and adopting, but also spay

682
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.719
and neuter things like that, just trying to help reduce

683
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:32.480
our pet overpopulation issue.

684
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:37.320
That we're to invite you both throughout our education center

685
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.079
at the store, and you'll be able to bring your

686
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.079
pets and we'll have an adoption dare well.

687
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.800
I have it of showing up and distracting my whole

688
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.440
staff for.

689
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:56.320
But anyway, it's it's because it's refreshing, because people ask

690
00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:01.119
questions and things of that age. You know, Vede Michelle

691
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:03.719
invited you, and of course I have as well. We

692
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.239
want to put together better programs with you and extorting.

693
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:08.800
But one of the things I want to do for

694
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.920
this hour goodbye is so fast. I want you to

695
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:16.239
tell our audience everybody out there, how can they help you,

696
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.639
how can they reach you, and what are the best

697
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:20.039
best ways to do that?

698
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:24.000
Yeah, so they can go right on our website sorry,

699
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:28.880
the Milk Drunk Foundation dot org. Our email is high

700
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.400
like hi, hello at the Milk Drunk Foundation dot org.

701
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:36.360
We both have access to the email. So if Abigail

702
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.000
is able to reply, our reply. We have a couple

703
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.559
other volunteers that will also reply to emails on a

704
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.519
daily basis, so most likely that not if you email

705
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.280
us today, we're going to reply today or by the

706
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.920
next day. Social media, Abby that is her fortege. She

707
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:55.199
does all the social media. You can contact us on Facebook,

708
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:57.800
on Instagram. We do have a TikTok that we're not

709
00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.960
super active on it, but we do have a TikTok

710
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:03.440
as well. So everything is at the Milk Drunk Foundation,

711
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.079
including the website. It's just dot org instead of dot com.

712
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:11.559
Awesome, that's fantastic. I mean, yeah, I mean because it's

713
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:13.719
all about getting the word out. I mean, that's why

714
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.519
I do. I've been doing this podcast for just my

715
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:18.760
eighteen season. Believe it or not. There weren't even podcasts

716
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:22.159
when I started this. It was internet radio. And my

717
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:24.639
friends all said, why did you go on internet radio?

718
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.559
Nobody's ever going.

719
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:28.440
To watch the internet and now with what we are,

720
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.480
but yeah, it's like you know, and of course I

721
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.599
still maintain and was shelped to verify this. I maintain

722
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.960
a very high profile in the shore because I that's

723
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.840
my passion is helping people. I'm out there all the time.

724
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.480
And you know what, my accountant yells at me, you know,

725
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:49.880
my lawyers yell at me. He was yell yells at

726
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:50.119
me that.

727
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:54.679
I needed this report yesterday. What were you doing the customers.

728
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:57.519
I'm always sad when I don't see Bill at this

729
00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:59.480
story because then I can't ask him questions.

730
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.079
We're can that.

731
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:07.039
Everybody says, I got one question for you? What is

732
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.239
it like Michelle, we're.

733
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:12.519
Can I have a blow up this score and you're

734
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.760
going to press the button and he's going to answer

735
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:17.960
your question, but from afar.

736
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:20.360
So this way he can get a little bit of

737
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:21.360
you know, R and R.

738
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:27.960
I don't know. I wanted to ask, and we spoke

739
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.559
about this prior who said that you would be happy

740
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:33.400
to tell the people how much you know, whether they

741
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:37.519
anticipate as far as cost to adopt one of your

742
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:41.719
kittens or your your puppies, if you could get into

743
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:42.639
that a little bit.

744
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:47.000
Yeah, so all of our kittens have an adoption fee

745
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:50.559
of one seventy five. We do occasionally have adoption promotions

746
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.480
if we receive a grant we were able to reduce

747
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.320
those fees, and we do consider reduce adoption fees if

748
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:57.719
people adopt two kittens, because they really do thrive in

749
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.039
a pair. And for our puppies, the basic option fee

750
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:04.679
is four fifty for mixed breed puppies, and then it's

751
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.599
a one thousand dollars option fee for cleft palette puppies

752
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:10.920
since they really do require extra care long term.

753
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:14.639
And yeah, that's pretty much it does. Are the fees?

754
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.320
How long do you keep the kleftis I like the word? Yeah?

755
00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:24.000
How long do you keep those before you adopt them out?

756
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:26.199
It does depend on the specific puppy.

757
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.280
Some are a little bit more fragile than others, Like

758
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.079
you'll see them and they'll be slightly smaller or just

759
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.280
struggling a little bit to gain weight. So those will

760
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.760
usually stay with us until they're about twelve to fourteen weeks,

761
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.199
but usually they'll be adopted around the time of eight

762
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:40.880
to ten weeks.

763
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:44.559
And is it typical for someone to get the surgery

764
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:45.840
for the It.

765
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.280
Depends on the specific puppy. Certain puppies do require the surgery. However,

766
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.519
the majority of our puppies have been able to thrive

767
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.639
without it, specifically the ones that are Federal diet. A

768
00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:57.840
lot of the ones that are transitioned onto kible do

769
00:40:57.960 --> 00:40:58.760
require the surgery.

770
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:01.719
Wow, that's the whole in itself.

771
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:05.199
Yeah, what I want to ask you to because we've

772
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.760
had like seven minutes, six minutes left here, what have

773
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.559
been some of your best successes in some of your

774
00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.800
happiest moments.

775
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:13.159
All of it.

776
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.599
That's that's a tricky one. I will say, it's a

777
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:21.039
really difficult thing to do.

778
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:25.519
Sometimes were the Molk Jump Foundation we're entirely volunteer based,

779
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:27.760
so all of the time that me and Michelle put

780
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.119
into it, it's just we're taking the time out of

781
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:32.800
our day, out of our lives to put this do

782
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.440
this work. Probably we each do around forty hours a

783
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.719
week of just processing adoptions, coordinating with fosters, and it

784
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:42.079
is a lot. It can be overwhelming at times, and

785
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.920
you kind of like lose focus of what you're doing

786
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.000
and the reason why you're doing it. But I think

787
00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:50.320
one of the most meaningful things to me has been

788
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.079
I would I currently go to the University of Florida

789
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:55.599
and I met a friend and I'm there hanging out

790
00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:58.679
with him, and he tells me that his best friends

791
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.119
from back home opted one of the cats from our

792
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:05.079
rescue And just hearing that, like that connection, just like

793
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.280
it blew my mind and it really realized that the

794
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:11.440
work we're doing here, like each individual, each animal, it's

795
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:14.800
going into someone's home, it's becoming someone's best friends. And

796
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.480
although it's really hard to do, and although some adopters

797
00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:20.599
can be frustrating or fosters it gets very overwhelming, it's

798
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:22.760
one hundred percent worth it, and I would do it

799
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:24.239
again a million times over.

800
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:26.199
Just to make someone's day.

801
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:29.360
It really changes not only the animal's life, but the

802
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.599
family that's adopting them.

803
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:33.840
Now, Michelle, I want to say make one comment here.

804
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.440
You know this show is where your pet is a voiage.

805
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:38.400
Why do you think your cat keeps jumping into the

806
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:39.840
screen He.

807
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:42.119
Really wants to say something with his tail And that's

808
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:42.840
my fust.

809
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:52.079
One thing.

810
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:54.320
Is there one thing in Michelle that stands out in

811
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:57.360
your mind over the years you've been doing this to.

812
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:01.679
Me is the fact that we've gotten is reputation out

813
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.559
there that if it's broken and dying, we can save it.

814
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:08.920
And to have that reputation is unbelievable.

815
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:13.159
Like we get so many calls of babies that are

816
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:17.440
at the brink of death literally and they say the

817
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.960
Milk Drunk Foundation just contact them and if anyone can

818
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:21.920
save them, it's them.

819
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.800
And it's not because we are special in any way.

820
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.000
It's just what we do and the methods that we use,

821
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:32.360
which you know most of it comes from your store.

822
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:34.960
Do you have babies?

823
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:41.239
Because I can't tell you the number of holistics that's

824
00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:44.760
uh euro several that we work with that they do

825
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:50.280
consultation on nutrition or homeopathy or holistic care and at

826
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:52.119
the end of the day, it's like they're prescription in

827
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:53.440
the right seabill.

828
00:43:55.760 --> 00:44:00.480
Do your baby? Why do they come from nation and wide?

829
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:02.599
Yeah?

830
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:06.440
Actually we have not that. We love to do that

831
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.920
because I prefer to help local. You know, we're here,

832
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.880
so we're gonna help babies that are here. But we

833
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.960
have in a few cases if we saw a case

834
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:19.800
of a puppy or a kitten that really needed our help.

835
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.079
I think Abigail herself has driven across the state line.

836
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:27.960
To pick up a cleftic kitten. We flew a puppy.

837
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:29.960
I don't know if Bill remember, So we flew a

838
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.280
puppy that had an anomaly in his private area from

839
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:36.599
Texas because they didn't know what to do and he

840
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:39.480
was going to be euthanized, and we had a similar case,

841
00:44:39.559 --> 00:44:42.440
so we had the perfect setup for him and we

842
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.480
flew him in from Texas. So we have taken puppies

843
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:48.559
from other states and brought them into our care, and

844
00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:51.559
we also adopt out out of state. So one of

845
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:55.320
our last clefties, who is currently still on the raw food,

846
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.840
