00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:02.550 Tommy D: I know you left long island.
00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:05.640 Tommy D: But I don't remember how hot it gets here on long island, so I.
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:10.020 Tommy D: figured I would you know pretend like i'm in honolulu baby.
00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:13.260 Valerie Heffron: always take the heat over the blizzard.
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:21.270 Tommy D: I hate snow, I really if I never saw another snowflake you know people would say to you, but you can't leave long island wouldn't you miss the seasons nope.
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:27.720 Tommy D: springtime like all the time, like I San Diego is my kind of weather all year round.
00:01:28.410 --> 00:01:35.010 Tommy D: But they have their region, I don't know how much longer part of the country still going to be attached to the country but that's a whole nother that's geography 30 that's not.
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:44.670 Tommy D: that's not animal advocacy this show is all about that it's about three things it's about learning it's about educating and then ultimately it's about advocating.
00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:45.840 Patricia Deshong: I want to read you something.
00:01:46.350 --> 00:01:47.940 Tommy D: From that I want to stay on point with today.
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:54.570 Tommy D: you've heard me say this before we want to amplify the message that we believe the bond between the animal lovers is incredibly strong.
00:01:55.230 --> 00:02:08.790 Tommy D: I mean Val it's funny because when we wrote that it was like it was like a mission like where we were going to go right because it looks like we want to support each other in business by building a compassionate network together so that everyone wins.
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:12.390 Valerie Heffron: Especially the animals.
00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:26.820 Tommy D: Especially we had you know that was like a like I said it was kinda like a mission statement like a vision, where we were going to go and we're and we're like creating this thing it's happening so it's like I we might have to change the tense in the verb there because.
00:02:26.910 --> 00:02:28.440 Valerie Heffron: it's clearly a mission.
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:33.420 Valerie Heffron: Yes, and and I know I mentioned this to you the other week.
00:02:33.450 --> 00:02:33.870 Valerie Heffron: But i'll.
00:02:34.470 --> 00:02:46.470 Valerie Heffron: send this to anyone else, but when I talk to other animal lovers about what we're doing, and this concept, they get it like instantly so I was talking to our friend diane.
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:54.270 Valerie Heffron: And she has a place in Jersey, like a vacation you know seaside whatever it's called I don't know where she is somewhere with the ocean right.
00:02:54.780 --> 00:03:07.560 Valerie Heffron: And then there's a cute little town they've been going to for years, and she said, you know what i've been doing that, without realizing it, she said, but all the stores that we go to her grandkids are kids.
00:03:08.610 --> 00:03:18.960 Valerie Heffron: She goes we look for the stores, with a bowl of water outside and sometimes a tree, you know, a tree dispenser or whatever they look to patronize.
00:03:19.410 --> 00:03:23.790 Valerie Heffron: Whether it's the shops, or the ice cream stores without are based on that.
00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:36.180 Valerie Heffron: And that is it's such a natural instinct so i'm super excited I can't even tell you how thrilled I am to have on our one of our guests joining who i've known for a long time, and of course Patricia but.
00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:47.190 Valerie Heffron: Imagine if every animal lover was supported in business and in charity by all the other animal lovers right.
00:03:47.220 --> 00:03:47.880 Valerie Heffron: Because.
00:03:48.150 --> 00:03:50.880 Valerie Heffron: The world would just be a better place automatically.
00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:58.890 Valerie Heffron: Because you're supporting compassionate people in business with empathy for animals so that's the mission we're going to change the world.
00:03:59.010 --> 00:03:59.970 Tommy D: Changing the world that's.
00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:01.080 Tommy D: No big.
00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:07.860 Tommy D: deal gang just changing the world, I really big but I mean is that is like tongue in cheek that's what we're doing here.
00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:09.210 Tommy D: I think you're better.
00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:20.400 Tommy D: Valerie and me doing it it's because there's people that are other than us that are all about this so i'm still learning and it's not self deprecating now i'm just learning.

00:10:30.930 --> 00:10:42.480 Tommy D: I wanted the roseville feel ball, I was going to get even my fourth or fifth earring at the time, and they were selling a trial in there, and he was tiny and His name was button actually when we got him, but he was like a pound and a half.
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:45.540 Tommy D: He winked at my wife.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.670 Valerie Heffron: Who was my girlfriend she's my wife.
00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:57.180 Tommy D: But what the story is she was to carry him around like her overalls and, like the top of the overall and you pop a little head out right and she would take the bus she's going to new paltz at the time.
00:10:57.390 --> 00:11:06.990 Tommy D: So, like hanging out me on the island and then heading up the new paltz and she put Mickey we ended up calling and I called him mikkel obey you know about how you change the name, we outsource like a meme about this is that.
00:11:07.350 --> 00:11:08.460 Valerie Heffron: Where they evolve.
00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:15.450 Tommy D: keep changing it I do that with people but anyhow, he would go up on the greyhound another dog, but what on the greyhound.
00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:24.750 Tommy D: Bus and she would hide him because you weren't supposed to have a dog that is a true and he was the white ones like the yolk era taco bell one remember that remember those commercials.

00:11:46.530 --> 00:11:50.040 Tommy D: Well we're glad she joined the show, but now we don't know where we were Valley, you know where we.
00:11:50.430 --> 00:11:58.260 Valerie Heffron: Are you know exactly where we were so the power of networking and relationships, so I want to employ people who you know I understand.
00:11:58.680 --> 00:12:04.260 Valerie Heffron: especially nowadays, people are always you know thinking like where can we cut costs or whatever.
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:12.510 Valerie Heffron: I want to tell you that if you're planning some kind of really important event important to you, to your family to your cause.
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:23.190 Valerie Heffron: You really, really should unless you are super experienced at it, I feel, get a professional involved why well there's good and bad and all walks okay.
00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:28.350 Valerie Heffron: and trust me when I tell you something like done Oh, there is no one like doing I should have said that.
00:12:28.890 --> 00:12:42.420 Valerie Heffron: dawn has the relationships, she knows who's reliable she knows who's going to give a fair price she knows what venues will work for you and and your vision.
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:56.520 Valerie Heffron: Okay, and unfortunately i've heard this i've heard many stories i've experienced some really, really horrific scenarios in in my 11 years of running events and pulling them together.
00:12:57.090 --> 00:13:04.020 Valerie Heffron: And you know, there are some people who are good to their word, there are some people who are not there are some people who.
00:13:04.380 --> 00:13:09.960 Valerie Heffron: You know, are truly professional and they show up and do exactly what they say they're going to do, and then there are some who are not.
00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:21.510 Valerie Heffron: So save yourself the time save yourself a heartache and like benefit from from decades of experience, by working with someone dawn has.
00:13:21.900 --> 00:13:37.830 Valerie Heffron: She has it all she has the rolodex, and that is what you really need if you're going to try to pull off, you know, like a Gala or or a wedding that you know you don't know what DJ to hire you don't know what venue is.
00:13:38.250 --> 00:13:45.300 Valerie Heffron: The food is really like what they say it's going to be you don't mean, so I can go on and on forever I think it's probably better than that it's.
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.410 Tommy D: Just about like leveraging other people's expertise and stuff like that, I mean like I don't know I don't know how to Plumb.
00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:59.490 Tommy D: You know, like like when you drain get jammed up I don't know how to do that I don't have to run piping I don't know how to do, electricity, do you know what I do I don't do it.
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:02.910 Tommy D: I don't really should I pay somebody who does it otherwise.
00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:10.740 Tommy D: I screw it up, and then we got to have it done again the website is DJ as events COM i'll share it as we do go to break right now.
00:14:10.950 --> 00:14:21.150 Tommy D: I just stepped away because I found I saw something across the a it wasn't a dog, but I saw something across the attic here and i'm going to show you all, when I come back because it's a photograph of a long time ago, so look.
00:14:21.210 --> 00:14:22.230 Tommy D: Stay tuned for that.
00:14:22.770 --> 00:14:37.200 Valerie Heffron: Before we go to break, though I just one One recent example okay we're planning the compassionate words, most of our listeners have heard us talk about it, this is for October, where we're creating an award ceremony for some people in rescue.
00:14:38.010 --> 00:14:41.100 Valerie Heffron: I cannot even tell you how frustrating, it was for me.
00:14:41.850 --> 00:14:51.510 Valerie Heffron: To call certain places and venues that we were considering, because in the beginning, we didn't know if we wanted it to be a luncheon or we wanted it to be like a dinner or whatever.
00:14:52.230 --> 00:15:04.590 Valerie Heffron: Some places that oh will email you a proposal and then like five days later, you don't have a proposal and now it's back on me going do I follow up with them again or do I start from scratch, you know what I mean so.
00:15:06.450 --> 00:15:06.930 Dawn Jessica Strain: Now.

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:15.540 Valerie Heffron: The detail that goes in I said to Tommy the other key is this, you have an event going on and Patricia.
00:20:16.110 --> 00:20:27.840 Valerie Heffron: I know that you, you probably know what this feels like but, like you want to enjoy your own event, how many times do we hear people who got married they didn't even enjoy their own wedding they didn't even eat at their own wedding right.
00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:37.410 Valerie Heffron: I want to enjoy my event, so I don't want to be at the registration table, making sure that everybody who's walking in and actually paid or you know what I mean like.

00:20:53.670 --> 00:21:05.520 Dawn Jessica Strain: For me it's transformation it's transforming a space and to to an experience for people and that could be a wedding you know, taking somebody's memories, or how they met or their.
00:21:05.910 --> 00:21:13.770 Dawn Jessica Strain: Family tree and incorporating it in their wedding to make it special because we all go to a lot of events and what makes something unique and special is really important.

00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:34.320 Valerie Heffron: So let's can we can we talk about that or is that, like top top secret stuff like what are the.
00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:37.410 Dawn Jessica Strain: options on the body, you have pat talk a little bit about the shelter.
00:21:37.410 --> 00:21:39.570 Dawn Jessica Strain: And we can talk about the details.
00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:51.450 Patricia Deshong: Okay sure it's a we um I represent the Southampton animal shelter foundation, we are no kill open admission shelter, which is very different from most shelters in the area.
00:21:52.560 --> 00:21:55.710 Patricia Deshong: Meaning that we don't turn any animal way any breed.
00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:59.610 Patricia Deshong: We have more than dogs and cats, we have a lot of rabbits here right now.
00:22:00.870 --> 00:22:05.820 Patricia Deshong: You know, we get journals and we've had pigs here we've had chickens, you know.
00:22:06.810 --> 00:22:07.680 Tommy D: you've had paid.
00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:18.840 Patricia Deshong: We have, I mean if yes and then those we able to transfer out to another facility, we have a rescue up in the catskills that helps us with that, but.
00:22:19.410 --> 00:22:27.030 Patricia Deshong: Because that's not really our usual adopt out, but we are not open admission shelter and for the town of Southampton, which encompasses.
00:22:27.330 --> 00:22:35.910 Patricia Deshong: A lot of territory, so people need our help, we have to, we have to help them, whether that be honest surrenders or helping other kill shelters throughout long island.
00:22:36.630 --> 00:22:50.970 Patricia Deshong: we've taken adults in Puerto Rico recently, three months ago I got Nicole, that there was a drug cartel down in Mexico threatening animal rescue that we're going to start executing one dog at a time.
00:22:51.060 --> 00:22:51.690 Patricia Deshong: Because they were.
00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:52.680 Patricia Deshong: Not kidding.
00:22:52.950 --> 00:22:54.180 Patricia Deshong: We wound up stepping in.
00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:59.790 Patricia Deshong: And within five days to a week had all the dogs transferred out into the United States.
00:22:59.850 --> 00:23:00.600 Patricia Deshong: We got.
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:09.540 Patricia Deshong: Probably eight of them there was 22 of them, but that story hit, you know that would pretty pretty nationwide it's a great story, but that's what we do here.
00:23:10.590 --> 00:23:10.860 Patricia Deshong: We.
00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:16.230 Patricia Deshong: Are we concentrate on the area year but but we'll go anywhere if the need is really there.
00:23:16.650 --> 00:23:23.910 Valerie Heffron: yeah that is amazing, I was on your website and I, I know, for me, like going forward.
00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:34.500 Valerie Heffron: Which is not to be right, this second because we're kind of full over here, but I next time I think I want to adapt like a special needs.
00:23:35.370 --> 00:23:46.140 Valerie Heffron: At and that's attributed a lot to time you dial a prior guest, who has several three either two legged dogs.
00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:56.220 Valerie Heffron: That lost their legs to abuse and everything, but I just see how it's so much more challenging to get either older animals or.
00:23:56.940 --> 00:24:11.730 Valerie Heffron: pets into loving home, so that really talks about pulling up your heartstrings that does it for me, but on your website, I also saw that I don't know it started with a w I forgot, it was like a wad you or some kind of it look like a journal.
00:24:12.270 --> 00:24:13.800 Patricia Deshong: Yes, yeah.
00:24:14.250 --> 00:24:16.170 Valerie Heffron: A weed you are watch I don't know what it is.

00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:23.490 Valerie Heffron: you're promoting animal that most people don't even think of when it comes to being.
00:24:23.610 --> 00:24:27.660 Valerie Heffron: back you know, and those are also kind of the underdogs.

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:35.430 Patricia Deshong: I would love to come back and talk to you sometime about our companion dog program rescue dogs that were training to help our veterans who have ptsd I mean i'm sure you've heard the statistics that I think you get 25 veterans or so that commit suicide a day.
00:26:35.970 --> 00:26:36.450 Patricia Deshong: You know.
00:26:36.750 --> 00:26:49.740 Patricia Deshong: They have mental issues and, believe it or not, when you talk about how animals can transform their lives yeah these companion dogs would they get a dog that doesn't leave their side you know and you'd be surprised, it opens up a whole new world for these veterans.
00:26:49.890 --> 00:26:51.270 Patricia Deshong: So we're proud to be watching them.
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.550 Tommy D: yeah that's that's a new Program.
00:26:54.060 --> 00:26:55.620 Patricia Deshong: And if I did it in Florida.
00:26:55.860 --> 00:27:01.410 Patricia Deshong: Okay, and I brought it here to this rescue and we just made the we had a purple heart recipient.
00:27:02.580 --> 00:27:17.580 Patricia Deshong: And he just put the dog in his name yesterday it's still in training it's a lab that we took in with two labs that came in from Louisiana gorgeous a point, though lab and I had the right temperament to be trained to be a companion dog no.
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.490 Tommy D: Originally from Florida.
00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:24.780 Patricia Deshong: uh yeah I just moved here in December I think i'm the only floridian that came in this direction.
00:27:24.810 --> 00:27:25.050 well.
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:35.040 Tommy D: it's kind of you know they people have told me it's the like Fort lauderdale area it's like the fifth borrow or the you know, like this the eighth county of long island in the five boroughs or.
00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:35.640 Patricia Deshong: Something like that.
00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:39.240 Tommy D: They told me it's um long island south, I think, is what somebody just.
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:40.020 Patricia Deshong: Recently, big.
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:52.950 Tommy D: If I want to talk about this because online other Sean philanthropy and focus on Friday frank them off autonomy who's the executive director CEO of united veterans beacon House will be on the show so let's get you connected with him, as I.
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.210 Patricia Deshong: would love it.
00:27:54.690 --> 00:28:07.920 Tommy D: yeah we'll make that happen because it's important for all these veterans organizations to get together and you're right the number that they talk about is 22 a day take their own life, which is an absolute tragedy that we need to address but that's an we'll talk about that.
00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:18.900 Valerie Heffron: yeah but you know what's so important, too, is like i've spoken to a lot of veterans, especially over the last couple years we did live in Florida there's a lot of veterans and.
00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:31.980 Valerie Heffron: many of whom are you know they're young family people and one of the difficulties of transitioning when you're no longer in service is like they felt so needed.
00:28:32.490 --> 00:28:32.850 Patricia Deshong: Yes.
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:39.030 Valerie Heffron: yeah their purpose they they knew exactly what their purpose was they woke up every day they had a job to do.
00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.660 Valerie Heffron: It was.
00:28:39.780 --> 00:28:57.000 Valerie Heffron: A greater cause and all sudden they're like who am I right to their purpose has in their minds is lost, and so having a dog or another companion animal give them also purpose it's like you know they're needed.
00:28:57.120 --> 00:29:04.920 Patricia Deshong: they're needed that's right and they're so used to being surrounded by other people and so now at least they have a constant companion you're right.
00:29:05.730 --> 00:29:21.360 Tommy D: You need to talk about that let's get that going Patricia I want to be part of it, how old is a veteran excuse me how old does the volunteer have to be to work with you at the Southampton animal shelter 16 1611 perfect that's what I needed to say.
00:29:24.570 --> 00:29:25.710 Patricia Deshong: But they got to bring their parents.
00:29:26.010 --> 00:29:32.970 Tommy D: Well, I got a guy downstairs who's probably going to knock on the attic door and go, can we go dad I love dogs I love your dog, can we go.
00:29:33.090 --> 00:29:33.540 Tommy D: So I.
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:38.340 Tommy D: will have I will go will come out we'll do something fun together we'll do a day and service me and my.

00:29:46.950 --> 00:30:01.200 Dawn Jessica Strain: yeah what a lot of people don't know is both my girls are service dogs and for ptsd for me, I had a lot of things go on in my childhood, and so I can relate to what they feel and how important they are to change your life.
00:30:01.560 --> 00:30:08.880 Tommy D: Well, I just say dawn you know, in an era when mental health is a conversation that we're all having your candor and for you to share that.

00:35:25.770 --> 00:35:37.950 Dawn Jessica Strain: Huge supporters of the cause and that, following a stuck with them for a very long time, you know with any event, you have people that come and go, but when you have such a strong cause that really affects the whole.
00:35:38.580 --> 00:35:48.480 Dawn Jessica Strain: You know hamptons Community a lot of people just come out for that, and they really and it's you know you spread the word on social media you share it with your friends who.
00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:56.400 Dawn Jessica Strain: Are the people that can come to the event and you make sure that you let as many people as you can know so we've been doing a lot of that.
00:35:57.240 --> 00:35:59.430 Tommy D: Relationships relationships relationships.
00:35:59.430 --> 00:36:00.180 Dawn Jessica Strain: All about it's.
00:36:00.450 --> 00:36:02.490 Tommy D: All about your network right Valerie.
00:36:03.270 --> 00:36:14.340 Tommy D: We talked about all the time about the connection, and I know that because, like first I know it, because i'm the nonprofit sector connector but I know it, because I think in terms of I know a lot of nonprofit organizations and I.
00:36:15.030 --> 00:36:18.330 Tommy D: In my experience, the ones that are having a tough time getting going.
00:36:19.020 --> 00:36:28.620 Tommy D: or sustaining the matter of the people who are you're connected to who you know, maybe you need to recruit different people to get on your board maybe we need to get some influencers in the word, you know.
00:36:29.040 --> 00:36:34.050 Tommy D: The old, what are the word meant that doesn't just mean hey look at my sneakers i'm on tick tock but, like the influence.
00:36:34.410 --> 00:36:37.740 Tommy D: I know people I can get people to show up at an event I can get.
00:36:38.070 --> 00:36:40.680 Valerie Heffron: fanny didn't see it says, some people used to say.
00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:43.800 Tommy D: You know I sometimes do say that so guys, please.
00:36:44.010 --> 00:36:51.630 Dawn Jessica Strain: And it's not just that I mean I think what's happening with a lot of boards these days and that's another thing that i'm grateful i've tremendous experience and help my nonprofit.
00:36:52.050 --> 00:37:00.480 Dawn Jessica Strain: Is you know boards age out at some point, so you have a lot of people who've been on board for a long time they're certain way of thinking, they have certain way of doing things with time.
00:37:01.770 --> 00:37:08.910 Dawn Jessica Strain: And if they don't have the next generation coming in and and you know geared towards that in some of their events and.
00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:22.380 Dawn Jessica Strain: Bringing those younger people in 30s 40s you know even in their 20s you know it's hard to be a philanthropist in your 20s but it's not impossible, you know they could start by volunteering at the shelter, they could.
00:37:22.980 --> 00:37:36.450 Dawn Jessica Strain: volunteer at the day of the event, just to get to know the event and someday afford to be there, but you know it's really setting yourself up to have that succession plan of who's going to step into those shoes to make those whose donations in the future.
00:37:37.650 --> 00:37:44.640 Valerie Heffron: That is such a great point, and this woman, I as young woman, I have to mention POPs into my mind, because.
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:56.790 Valerie Heffron: She is 22 I believe and she's she's headed into her final year of law school at hofstra she is already an incredible animal advocate.
00:37:57.270 --> 00:38:11.520 Valerie Heffron: And the way I stumbled onto her is because she started showing up at board meetings advocating for the reopening of the of the teen our program and Hempstead I was so impressed and and to your point, I mean.
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:16.920 Valerie Heffron: I have no doubt she's going to be a successful lawyer i'm actually hoping that she's going to run for office.
00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:17.580 Valerie Heffron: If you can.
00:38:17.670 --> 00:38:18.210 Tommy D: get your law.
00:38:20.010 --> 00:38:24.360 Valerie Heffron: she's gone into her last year, and she spends like over the summer she'll see in our like.
00:38:24.390 --> 00:38:33.720 Valerie Heffron: 10 cats and get I mean 10 sorry 90 cats and kittens and you know my my point to support don't point what i'm saying is like.
00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:45.360 Valerie Heffron: Young people are so this before, too, I found the younger generations to be also more socially conscious, in general, then let's say my generation growing up in high school.
00:38:45.900 --> 00:38:54.240 Valerie Heffron: You know at that age, they are are so equipped and they can type with your toes because they grew up with all of this, you know equipment around them.
00:38:54.600 --> 00:39:08.520 Valerie Heffron: and their social media presence is unparalleled and it's smart to to look to the future and, and you know involve them at a young age, I I couldn't agree with you more and the more diverse, the better, you know, this is not.
00:39:09.090 --> 00:39:10.530 Valerie Heffron: It doesn't hold as diverse.
00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:15.810 Tommy D: doesn't have to be like to what you both are saying, I want to jump in here, so I talked a lot of nonprofits.
00:39:16.260 --> 00:39:31.020 Tommy D: You know, and I talked a lot about doing service, you know, we had our first ever show Regina and those who came on the show who is wink wink one of our honorees at the upcoming compassion works out which we have to tell everybody again, which is October 11 out of the refuge.
00:39:31.230 --> 00:39:32.130 Dawn Jessica Strain: Like birthday.
00:39:32.310 --> 00:39:33.390 Tommy D: it's your birthday.
00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:46.800 Tommy D: Oh, I mean I promise you will have a cake, if you can make it there, I know you probably have plans, but if you if you can be there and you're going to be on the islands we'll get we'll get a fuji the well cake and it's a real were hurting no animals have been injured it's just.
00:39:47.070 --> 00:39:49.500 Dawn Jessica Strain: Unfortunately i'm dairy free so that will work.
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.450 Valerie Heffron: Well we'll get.
00:39:51.870 --> 00:39:54.180 Valerie Heffron: That you're gonna love well yeah I was.
00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:58.620 Tommy D: I ate half for the oil cake that was at my house or my kids party like two weeks anyway.
00:39:59.100 --> 00:40:13.020 Tommy D: um I was going to make a point Oh, you know i'm on this trip 60 days of service value, you know about that they 43 is upcoming but it's about you know Regina I went out there, and my son and I we walk the dogs I got to take any Milo who has.
00:40:13.590 --> 00:40:25.800 Tommy D: Problems with his hind legs and he's got wheels I got to take him for a walk we picked up a lot of dog poop that day we learn how to clean up, we learned Regina you run a talk shop, and I promise i'll be back, but you were like.
00:40:25.980 --> 00:40:26.460 Tommy D: carrie.
00:40:26.520 --> 00:40:29.970 Tommy D: you're supposed to be sweeping tommy's was be picking up that poop right and that's.
00:40:30.330 --> 00:40:38.130 Tommy D: But, but to do philanthropy doesn't necessarily mean being in the back of the room writing big checks or picking picking up the title for the for the.
00:40:38.430 --> 00:40:45.150 Tommy D: For the auction, it could be other things there's other ways to give back there's other ways to get involved certainly like your friend Valerie I don't know.
00:40:45.450 --> 00:40:57.240 Tommy D: If you're friends with this woman this young woman, you know who's obviously a change maker 22 years old 90 cats, not a lot of 22 year old kids or even messing around with anything like that productive to help out all those tasks.
00:40:57.510 --> 00:41:03.720 Valerie Heffron: she's incredible but my favorite part is that she had the spine and.
00:41:04.620 --> 00:41:13.500 Valerie Heffron: She recognized the need and went to a local municipality governmental meeting which a lot of people are intimidated by.
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:30.720 Valerie Heffron: And she spoke and she went several times, and she so here's the thing right imagine if every animal lover was also advocating that is where real change long term change is going to occur, like we're.
00:41:30.900 --> 00:41:32.580 Tommy D: Not just talking about it right.
00:41:33.060 --> 00:41:33.810 Valerie Heffron: And we use.
00:41:34.050 --> 00:41:34.470 Tommy D: Something.
00:41:35.070 --> 00:41:44.070 Valerie Heffron: We use the puppy mill bill as an example, there are so many people who didn't understand the power of calling their legislators.
00:41:44.640 --> 00:41:58.170 Valerie Heffron: And that bill thankfully just passed both Houses by a landslide and we await the governor's signature, but the point is most people don't even know their local representatives are so imagine Patricia if all of those supporters in Southampton.
00:41:58.830 --> 00:42:11.580 Valerie Heffron: You know not only knew their legislators are but we're comfortable with calling and speaking out to them that's how we're going to get real training we're going to get stricter laws about animal abuse we're going to get better laws in terms of.
00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:22.470 Valerie Heffron: You know, minimal standards of care in farming and agriculture and everything else, so I could go on on this for a long time and I apologize, but my whole point is that.
00:42:23.040 --> 00:42:32.640 Valerie Heffron: we're doing is saying is 100% right in order for these causes to to succeed over the long term, you know you have to groom the successors.
00:42:33.510 --> 00:42:39.570 Dawn Jessica Strain: You know and and one thing you know piggyback off what you both were saying doing what's right is not always comfortable.
00:42:40.350 --> 00:42:42.090 Dawn Jessica Strain: Yes, and.
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:43.860 Valerie Heffron: nail this one.
00:42:44.730 --> 00:42:57.090 Dawn Jessica Strain: And that's you know it's hard for a lot of people like sometimes you got to get out of our comfort zone, sometimes we got to step out of things that are not you know what we would normally do but that's only the way we can get make things change.
00:42:57.180 --> 00:42:58.950 Patricia Deshong: hmm good point yeah.
00:42:58.980 --> 00:43:09.060 Tommy D: I say that I teach my kids I go life begins at the end of your comfort zone and i'll be honest even between Val and I sometimes we got to push each other outside of our comfort zones in a lot of ways and and.
00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:15.450 Tommy D: And both and don't even say that it's me pushing you back because there's plenty of stuff i'm doing that I wouldn't have not done.
00:43:15.600 --> 00:43:19.830 Valerie Heffron: Because this show exists because you pushed me out of my comfort zone.
00:43:19.890 --> 00:43:21.150 Valerie Heffron: they're not here yet so.
00:43:21.990 --> 00:43:28.020 Tommy D: Then, then i'll take the responsibility for pushing you but you're here with me doing this thing every single week so we're pushing each other, I mean.
00:43:28.560 --> 00:43:36.390 Tommy D: there's things out there i'm learning about cold nights really i'm on vacation my kids I left the waterpark the dual call night for anti puppy mill but like I.
00:43:36.660 --> 00:43:38.250 Tommy D: didn't know what that was a year ago.
00:43:38.610 --> 00:43:39.960 Valerie Heffron: I just.
00:43:40.890 --> 00:43:47.520 Tommy D: want to kind of hit one more point about you know now, I want to ask you this, and you can we're going to go to a break in a second because.
00:43:47.880 --> 00:44:00.120 Tommy D: you're talking about getting people to do a thing you're talking about that, so I want you to consider how do we get them to do a thing, whatever the thing is, and I think that's you don't have to even answer it today, but the idea is that's what this Community really is.
00:44:00.150 --> 00:44:21.810 Valerie Heffron: we're going to track the answer me not to not to cut you off, but I believe very strongly that that's the answer, because if you have a go to place where people can seek answers find resources pick brains then that's what motivates people to come together, you know what i'm saying so.
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.270 Valerie Heffron: That is it over time to do we want to.
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:31.890 Tommy D: Community yeah yeah you guys have found it guys gals men, women, people you found that this is the place we're creating that.
00:44:32.130 --> 00:44:40.170 Tommy D: Not because it's awesome it ain't about us we're just here, we got the two big mouths and we got the show but it's about all of us, everybody teach us some stuff show us.
00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:42.570 Dawn Jessica Strain: Is if you don't make people aware they don't know.
00:44:43.080 --> 00:44:43.560 Valerie Heffron: yeah so.
00:44:43.860 --> 00:44:49.560 Dawn Jessica Strain: You know it's education and awareness and getting people to experience come, making them, you know go to the shelter.
00:44:49.830 --> 00:44:50.970 Dawn Jessica Strain: spend a day there.
00:44:51.090 --> 00:44:59.040 Dawn Jessica Strain: So what it's like see what animals, really, what kind of shape they really come into and how they rehabilitated and how that impacts.
00:44:59.220 --> 00:45:00.780 Dawn Jessica Strain: falls, you know trickles down.
00:45:00.810 --> 00:45:01.650 Valerie Heffron: All the way to the.
00:45:02.220 --> 00:45:02.970 Dawn Jessica Strain: adopted them.
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:03.780 Dawn Jessica Strain: So.
00:45:04.140 --> 00:45:15.000 Dawn Jessica Strain: I end up on YouTube spending way too much time watching dog rescue videos and like how the don't start it and how it ended up with a forever home and to me every moment I cry every shrink that.
00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:20.430 Valerie Heffron: The dodo is responsible for like 18,000 tissues in my house.
00:45:21.060 --> 00:45:21.570 Dawn Jessica Strain: i'm trying.
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:23.130 Valerie Heffron: To go no I know.
00:45:23.160 --> 00:45:24.090 I can't take it.
00:45:25.140 --> 00:45:34.440 Tommy D: We got to take it we gotta split for a second we'll come back to that final segment, but when I want to come out Patricia i'm coming out, you know I mean i'm asking permission i'm not just going to show up.
00:45:34.680 --> 00:45:36.930 Tommy D: i'd like to come out it's like really.

00:48:22.020 --> 00:48:33.000 Tommy D: Patricia tell me about this, I mean it says here, why a mobile clinic and I see this website has so much information folks at Southampton animal shelter.com.
00:48:33.510 --> 00:48:42.840 Tommy D: check it out, because there's tons of information there's dates of when you can come out and get your pet spayed or neutered let's just jump in i'm going to show some things, while you're talking about future.
00:48:43.020 --> 00:48:55.020 Patricia Deshong: yeah we, besides being an animal rescue we have around animal hospital, but not only do we have our animal hospital that's here that's open up to the public, and we deliberately keep our prices down so people can afford.
00:48:55.410 --> 00:48:57.240 Patricia Deshong: To take care of their pets properly.
00:48:57.420 --> 00:49:06.000 Patricia Deshong: And we want to keep them in their home where the animals don't get sick and then they wind up surrendering to an animal shelter, you know, our goal is to.
00:49:06.420 --> 00:49:16.590 Patricia Deshong: make things as affordable as possible, so beyond having our own clinic that's open to the public, we also have a mobile clinic that goes out into the different areas of blown island.
00:49:17.040 --> 00:49:18.960 Patricia Deshong: smithtown Babylon riverhead.
00:49:19.530 --> 00:49:20.040 Patricia Deshong: uh.

00:49:22.950 --> 00:49:29.730 Tommy D: Are these places that like it's hard to get to for like there's not a lot of resources for these people living in these communities that.
00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:44.550 Patricia Deshong: Perhaps we just don't want any excuses, so we just want to, we want to go out into the Community to help as much as we possibly can, because we do keep our prices down much lower than the average you know clinic I guess you would say.
00:49:44.700 --> 00:49:45.660 Patricia Deshong: i've been there and clinic.
00:49:45.990 --> 00:49:48.930 Patricia Deshong: So we make a point to go out and offer whatever we can.
00:49:49.290 --> 00:50:10.290 Valerie Heffron: I just want to thank you for doing that because look one of one of my points of frustration is where I used to live they I know this to the T because I foiled the information they have a 220 $7,000 mobile spay neuter van that was delivered brand new state of the art in.
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:19.380 Valerie Heffron: Fast forward to last year that vehicle has under 2000 miles on it.
00:50:19.470 --> 00:50:27.450 Valerie Heffron: Oh, and that, when it was delivered because it was driven from Michigan it was delivered with like 1500 miles on it.
00:50:27.990 --> 00:50:30.660 Valerie Heffron: So they put about 500 mile I mean i'm.
00:50:30.810 --> 00:50:42.360 Valerie Heffron: i'm thanking you for not just walking the walk and having a press conference, but for doing it to get out there into the communities that's what it's supposed to be for right.
00:50:42.510 --> 00:50:50.490 Patricia Deshong: Absolutely absolutely no, it really is in fact we're looking to get another band, so we should send me their information, maybe we'll try and buy it.
