In this livestream, Michael Schneider of Pilots to Rescue hosts a meet‑and‑greet at Essex County Airport in Fairfield, New Jersey, featuring three rescue dogs from Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter. Guest Haley Herberg ("Fly with Haley") and her fiancé Nick join to showcase the dogs—Zuzu, Snuggles, Melody, and mention Nutella—while promoting adoption via newjerseyshelter.org (973‑386‑0590). The segment highlights a reward skyline flight over Manhattan for Haley and Nick, outlines Pilots to Rescue’s nonprofit mission to reach 1,000 rescues (currently at 200), and urges viewers to donate, purchase merchandise, and share the livestream to encourage adoption over buying pets.
Chapters
Good afternoon, Michael Schneider here, Top Dog Pilots to Rescue. We're here at our home airport, Essex County in Fairfield, New Jersey, and today we're doing a meet and greet with Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter. We have 3 dogs here today. All these dogs are available to be adopted. You can go to newjerseyshelter.org or you can call 973-386-0590. And today we have Haley Herberg and her fiancé Nick here. Haley, you're Um, what's your handle?
Fly with Haley.
Fly with Haley. And she was brave enough, her and her fiancé, to fly up from Palm Beach to help us with this today. And, uh, we're going to reward her and her fiancé with a beautiful skyline flight of Manhattan. And, uh, did you guys see— oh yeah, you did invite, request to join, accept. So Haley should be coming on shortly.
Turn it around.
There she is.
Turn the volume down. There it goes.
All right, here we have Haley. Haley, why don't you take it over and, uh, say hello to your audience, our audience, and, uh, talk a little bit about the, uh, animals that are available to be adopted.
Yeah, well, hey everyone, Haley here with Pilots to the Rescue. I'm here with, uh, also Zuzu. Who is up for a jog. She's super sweet and she'll be going on a Skyline flight with us today. Hi, Miss Suzu! We already took her for a bit of a walk and she's still very energized. Over here we have Snuggles, Nick's personal favorite. He's very snuggly. I love Snuggles. Lots of kisses. Right there. Yeah. Now this over here is Melody. These two are puppies and they came from North Carolina, both up for adoption. Yeah, so you can tell it's a little cold here today, much colder than Florida. And the yapper back there coming out soon. It's Nutella, right? Yeah, Nutella's already adopted. She's such a sweetheart. You want to tell them a little bit more about Sureshi? Does— yeah, yeah, yeah. So about to take the Skyline flight with Pilots to the Rescue. They are a nonprofit organization looking to hit 1,000 rescues this year. They're already at 200 and it's only been a few months. On a good roll. I know it. They operate— it's hard to speak what it's called— all around the country. They've done quite a few flights. You've seen some other people on Instagram flying with them. These are just a few dogs that they've rescued recently.
Well, thank you, Hallie. We really appreciate you coming out here and helping to support our organization. And, um, thanks to all of Haley's followers supporting Paws to Rescue. You guys can support us, of course, by donating, also purchasing any of the merchandise on our website, or simply by just sharing this live stream. If you share this live stream today, someone will hear about our cause and, um, maybe go out and adopt the rescue dog rather than buying an animal. That's very important. Adopt, don't shop. And, uh, we really appreciate all your support. Thanks for the couple donations we received today. Anything else you want to say, Helly, to your, your group?
Thanks for joining us, guys. I can't wait to share all the photos and videos for today, and I'll be including some links of how to donate to this amazing organization and meeting more pups here like Melody. See you next time.
