- With the loss of life and devastating destruction that came with the wildfires that raged through the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Pasadena, thousands of pets were also caught in the inferno, left separated from their families. With local shelters already dealing with overcrowding, Wings of Rescue, led by its president Ric Browde stepped in to help.

Everything Rick says and ban puppy farms. Thank you for rescuing so many beautiful pets
This man deserves a Nobel Prize...and in his case, it should be spelled 'NOBLE' ❤
There’s so many good rescues- they are in great need. They don’t get the attention or resources they deserve.
Much more than soros or Clinton
He truly does ❤

Thank you for saving the displaced animals.
What a wonderful man who speaks the truth.
Bless all of these helpers. ❤
Amen😇💝🙏
I know I'm doing my part and somebody appreciates it. I have 14 cats already and am more than willing to take a kitty cat in need. I turned my garage into a mega cat hotel with heat, beds, food, water, toys, giant scratching hotels and litter boxes. I get them all fixed when found so they all have their shots. Amazingly they all come back before night falls. Never had one run away, they all stay on my property. Pretty sure they know where home is. I love all of them unconditionally. and YES, I always try to find their owners first. Thank you for doing the job you do. I appreciate it.
Awesome you are God's angel for them.❤
God bless you 🙏🏻 I hope to do this some day too 🙏🏻 and this video is so inspiring I hope I can save pets all over the world too 🙏🏻, I’m young I have 2 cats from the shelter and pet store and I know I did my best for them knowing they were in the store / shelter each for 1-2 months … I hope I can grow old and rescue dogs / cats all over the world or in my community some time later on 🙏🏻
Nice bro. I have fed 10 starys for the last 3 years. This is also their home. They roam free outside and are welcomed in anytime. We've had some rain and cold, so I bring them in at night. They live short lives compared to us. Just want them to be comfortable while they're here
You are an Angel, you are going to Heaven ♥️🙏♥️

Thank you Sir for making this earth a better place 😊👏👍❤
Thank you for helping the animals! God loves them...& your kindness will be rewarded!! 💗😻
Man I love these people so much.
It's heartbreaking to find out how pets are treated! There seems to be less and less respect for animal's lives. (Same for humans)
I've shed lots of tears over the years when my senior pets health began to fail and the end of their lives had arrived. I tried to keep them alive as long as possible with veggies, lots of water, probiotics, their pet food, and clean bedding.
I've been feeding community cats (two steady ones) who come to my upstairs door for food and water for the past 7+ years.
I wish people would be responsible for their pets and not leave them behind when they move!!! I get so irate with people!
God bless all his creatures!
Very heartbreaking Judy lost everything when i returned home😢
God bless all the heroes!
Thank you sir Ric! May God bless you more. 💛✨
😢😢😢Gid will bkess this man and his team abundantly for caring
God bless you people for saving the loveable furry friends and parts of peoples family.❤❤
How is that possible that the pets are the last thing on thier minds. OMG i dont understand. My pet would NEVER be the last thing on my mind my pet would NEVER be left behind
These people may have been unable to find or catch their pets who were scared, or they were away from home at work or out of town when the fire came through, and not allowed back. Think.
I don't think that is true, what he said.
Well when a random disaster comes like erosion, tsunami, FIRE, you’re in shock, running around thinking what to grab, and all of a sudden you’re like “oh no my DOG” ….. so I think that I would put my pets first, but this forgetfulness during emergencies do happen quite fast and often.
That’s outrageously cruel, that they kill the other animals to make room! There’s got to be another way. . . ❤️
God bless you!!!
Thanks for raising awareness on this amazing organization 👏👏👏♥️♥️🐕🐕🐈🐈
Thank you so much for saving lives❤ God bless
Gods Blessings thank you gir loving and saving and rescuing this beautiful precious little fur babies. Gods Blessings. I hope and pray they will get reunited with their beautiful precious little fur babies forever family members with their human families members 💗🙏🕊⚘️♥️
God bless this man and the host Giselle is asking excellent questions!!
Giselle, thank you for covering this critical issue ❤15:30
Ric and Wings of Rescue are the BEST !!! True caring compassion. The world needs this so very very very much right now. Not to mention... our pet is a rescue from Wings of Rescue in Puerto Rico! Thank you Ric for all you do!
I know this is such an amazing thing but it’s so hard not to be heart broken for all those pets. They have no idea what’s going on and their human isn’t there 😢 it just makes my heart hurt so bad
Let the Fur Fly.....I love it, what an amazing team 🥰 Thank you a million times for helping and saving so many during this awful time.
Hi there 👋🏻
Thank you Rick & your team.I'm a lover of ANIMALS.Them fires were devastating.This video made me 😢.
Thank you
💖Much love to him, best of humanity💡
Thank you for saving the pets. It’s so sad for the people; the pets and the wildlife. Blessings to you and your team; from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
If pet care was not sooooo expensive, I would have a house full of dogs. I’ve had dogs since I was a very young child. I just put $6,000 on my credit card saving my fur baby from congestive heart problems. Retired on social security so not sure how to pay for this but trusting in the Lord to take care of me while I am taking care of my little one. 🥰
Great guy, great team! I am especially glad that he speaks up about the systematic problems behind this! This world is not there to squeeze out the most money possible - it is our shared home and we need to start greating it like this!!!
Thank you a million times !!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
THANK YOU AMAZING HEROS
Many thanks to Rick and Giselle for this amazing video. We need more stories like this one to showcase the good Wings of Rescue and others are doing. Rick and his crew are true humanitarians. It is so sad and maddening at what corporations are doing to the veterinary practices. My hubby and I have 6 pets and they are our priority . It is our obligation and our pleasure to take care of them. They are our children only with fur. They give us so much unconditional love and happiness. I can only hope these pets are reunited with their parents and the fires subside very soon.
Blessings always to this rescue
thank you
My cats are my family, first and last thought of my life
Same here! I love my kids!😺😺
I hope you’re safe where you live Britta 😊
Amazing story. Thank you!
Thank you wonderful humans ❤️
You wonderful people
You can donate to Wings of Rescue. I got an email from them but was leery until seeing this video.
Thanks so much for doing what you do. By giving these pets another chance instead of sending them to doggy haven before their old age. I have dogs and could not think what I would do if I could locate my dog because of disasters.
So many blessings to you❤🐾❤
Thank you!
Thank you for helping the dogs and cats. I try to save dogs in Alabama, sad but a lot of people dropped their pets off on back roads Here. I can't believe people throw them out of the car and just drive away.
I've heard that sometimes they are dropped off by a dog breeding organization when the female is no longer useful / profitable for them.
I’d like to know more about how this wonderful non-profit is financed. Thank you for what you do.
I love this man and his crew. I am so grateful to them.
Thank you so much for caring your all heroes.
You are an incredible man and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for all you do. It was so heartwarming to see someone care with such passion. My life revolves around the animals and I've adopted two dogs and one 9-year-old cat from the humane society. I believe in spay and neuter absolutely and that's where we fail as a society. Thank God out here in Florida doesn't cost you $700 to $900 for a spare neuter. I paid a decent price to have mine done
He is An angel 😇
ITS HARD TO BELIEVE PEOPLES PETS WOULD BE THE LAST THING THEY THINK OF. THEY ARE THE FIRST THING TO THINK OF. IF ALL OF US WERE LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN THE WORLD WOULD BE A FANTASTIC PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO LIVE IN.
Check out the rescuers of Tx. Millions of dogs perish on the streets.
God bless them
Los animalitos necesitan amor ,estan tristes y ansiosos esperan ver a sus dueños.

Thank you and God Bless.. You are the Savior for the helpless and abused animals..
I took care of a stray cat. I couldn’t even afford dental work for myself. The cat was sick because it had to have some teeth pulled but they wanted over $2000. There was just no way to spend $2000 on a cat. I didn’t have it.
Very sad, I hope you'll get help!!!

Our Creator watches all of us and how we treat all his creatures. Thank you for you do.❤❤❤❤❤😊
How WONDERFUL🎉 HOW SWEET❤
❤ Loved this intervju. He is amazing!
In the UK most vet practices are now owned by the Mars group. Profits go through various companies and out to Delaware. This is why vet bills are so huge. Pet insurance ads were all over for years. Check out your practice then look for one not owned by Mars. This guy must have angel wings. Brilliant work.
I believe Mars owns the VCA veterinary practices in the US. Our old dog just had successful surgery at one. It was VERY expensive.
@@sj6919 Mars owns both VCA and Banfield
Sending love and prayers 💗🙏🕊⚘️♥️
I give to this org. Love them! ❤❤❤ God bless our companion babies… 🙏🏻
Noah would be proud of animal rescuers. God bless you all
You are all human angels ❤❤❤
I would love to help in any way possible. I wondered what would happen to all the pets.
Kudos to you. . . 🤗🐈❤️🐶🐈⬛🫶🐢🦋
What an utterly kind and sensitive interview ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you thank you thank you to Wings of Rescue and the interviewer … you’re the BEST ❤️❤️❤️
Truly Awesome ❤
The Vet Schools are overwhelmed with students. Price should not be a problem. When the recession really gets going and the currency fails, it will be worse for pet owners, but the big corporations will suffer, too. At some point, only the healers will keep working at lower pay.
