In this live‑streamed YouTube video, Michael Schneider narrates a rescue mission that flew 24 dogs (23 puppies and a mother dog) from Texas to New Jersey. After a three‑hour flight from New Jersey to Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina—delayed by icing, snow, and a blizzard—he and two female pilots, Annie and Tori, transport the litters to the New Jersey‑based rescue group Amazing Muttz. Schneider introduces each litter (mom and 7 pups, Kane’s 6, Corpus’s 7, Carnes’s 6, plus individual dogs Doc, Joey, Dynamite) and explains the logistical challenge of fitting them into the aircraft. He thanks viewers, donors, and supporters, promotes the Pilots to Rescue organization, and announces upcoming rescues with the Bissell Pet Foundation (Mississippi) and A New Chance Animal Rescue (Wednesday). The broadcast includes numerous shout‑outs to community members and a call‑to‑action for donations, merchandise purchases, and social sharing.

Hey everyone, Michael Schneider here. Had about a 3-hour flight from New Jersey to Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina. Originally we were going to go to Asheville, North Carolina, but Essex County, our home airport, was closed until 11 AM. We were the second flight out due to icing and snow. We had a blizzard up in the Northeast, which many of you have heard of, no doubt. And today we're rescuing 24 dogs, mostly puppies with amazing mutts, and we're bringing them back to New Jersey. Amazing Muttz is a group out of New Jersey. If you Google them, Amazing Muttz, I don't know the website off the top of my head, but I'm sure all these beautiful puppies are available to be adopted. So, uh, we had the privilege of flying with two great female aviators, Pilot Annie and Tori Pilot, and they are on Instagram. I tagged them. How was the flight, Annie?
It was incredible. I mean, the flight itself was beautiful. It was really fun flying with you guys today. Obviously very exciting to be traveling back with these puppies and really hoping we find them some really great homes in New Jersey. So thanks for bringing me along.
Thanks for having us. Tori, how was the flight? You enjoying yourself so far?
It was so great. The whole time I was just so excited to get here, telling them I was— because in a few minutes we're gonna have puppies in here and we're gonna be flying back with all these puppies doing such great things. So it's great. I'm so excited.
All right, well, let's check out the puppers. Very yappy. Here's mom and 7 pups in here. Okay, I know you're just— she's just protecting her young ones. Here's Kane's pups, litter of 6.
Very cute.
All right, all right. Here's the Corpus pups, litter of 7. Here's the Carnes pups, litter of 6. More, more Corpus pups. Okay, all right, here's Wyatt. I'm going to come around the back for the rest of them. Once again, all these puppies are going to Amazing Muttz in New Jersey. I know my social media manager will edit the details in the post so that you can see where they can be adopted. They all came from Texas. Here's Doc. There's Doc. These are husky. Here's Joey. Joey is a Pyrenees. Hi, Joey and Dynamite. So that's all of the dogs. We're gonna play the giant game— we're gonna play the giant game of Tetris here in a minute to fit these 24 pups into the plane. And I really appreciate everybody's support for Pilots to Rescue, whether you share this post, you donate, purchase our merchandise. Get our message out there about what we do here at Pilots to Rescue. I want to thank Tori and Annie, our female aviators who came on the flight today with us, that are going to further getting our message further out there.
