Detroit Dog Rescue | American Dog With Victoria Stilwell

[@hopefulmonsters4407]

I started getting these Victoria Stillwell vids on my recs yesterday. I was not ready for the opening music on this one.

wanna hear the NEW sound of Detroit? try clicking here ➡ #MedikalRecordz -🎶🎵 the 1 that goes by the name "P.Jonez" is my ACTUAL lil Brother & the rest of them r abuncha ppl we grew up with 😀👍 (enjoy!!)

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

well.... we're just north of Detroit/same thing ... (almost) 🥺

[@boohere2]

i dont get it. why are houses are abandoned? why do some people just leave their houses?

[@audreybuckley4423]

She’s badass

[@dalekcat]

@@boohere2 when they lose jobs, move, get imprisoned, debts or just die - more or less the main reasons. Houses in some areas can be really difficult to sell so they end up empty. Copper thieves take their share, without heating and maintenance nature takes it's toll; eventually ending up too expensive to repair or dangerous due to various molds and fungi.

Hi Victoria. I just wanted to say that your methods were a big part of training my puppy. He's ten now and they have all been joyful years. Thank you!!!

[@AshCinder]

puppylover 246 I agree that was horrific.

[@stargalaxy9671]

Bless these people doing their best helping these dogs. It's just so frustrating and sad to see our society to treat these living creatures so terribly.

[@xradelox]

They could capture her and keep her in a shelter or pen until she gives birth and weans her puppies. Then after that, they could spay and release her, and then after the puppies are old enough to be fixed, adopt the puppies out to people who will actually keep them and know what's involved in caring for a dog. Fixing dogs is the best way to stop this cruelty.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Who...? Victoria...?

[@befree3206]

Exactly!!!

[@reddtraining]

I got the impression they had been trying to do just that, but the dog kept outpacing them

[@Guitargirl5157]

I understand that. But, it seems spaying and neutering is cheaper than the dog house construction project. Also, the feral dog can be caught, spayed and released back to her street life. It would just severely and drastically curb the problem by spaying and neutering. In the long run it'll save LOTS of money and lives. The houses were for dogs whose owners aren't bringing them in away from the elements. I support their efforts. But, feel they need to adjust how they carry them out.

[@maureenlippincott9528]

I SO love Victoria Stilwell. AND THE DDR!! God Bless you kind people. Victoria must be having major culture shock in America! hahaha. love, m

[@annezrow9715]

If all those people come to build dog houses, please get them to help collect the dogs for spaying and neutering. Every vet in the city should be able to help out. This is the only solution to ending the problem. Feeding them is great but they multiply so quickly that all the extra money going to feed them could go to spaying and neutering. Get is going Detroit Dog Rescue, what your doing is wonderful but it must be taken to the next level.

[@everythingisbetterinpink8643]

So good that these dogs have DDR🙏🙏🙏 These people are so deeply good! Love this Video

[@delindamck]

It's so disturbing. But thank you for bringing this story to light. I know that DDR has been on their local news in Detroit - but American Dog brings it to the rest of America. We NEED to know about these poor dogs - as well as other strays in other cities around the country. Thank you eHow Pets, American Dog, Victoria Stilwell - and a HUGE thank you to DDR for getting out there and doing something about it.

[@stefanieherrmann3432]

I am very impressed by the calm and friendly way people act out there in Detroit. How they do the possible and help the dogs on the spot and don't bring them to shelters or kill them. I donated a little bit of money although I am in a far away country.

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Victoria Stilwell is str8up MAGIC!! 🏆💓🥰👍

[@TreasureOne]

I agree absolutely with your ideal standards of rescue and care. However, since moving to a backwater community that doesn't neuter, chains dogs outside 24/7 and otherwise lets pets run loose on busy streets, I can see what they're doing. I have enough rescue to do within a square mile of my home. There aren't enough HOMES for these animals to take them inside; you provide insulated dog houses. You neuter when you can afford to. As they said, the pregnant dog is feral. You can't taker her in!

[@DM00O7X]

Sooo adorable

[@Keywy]

Why aren't they spaying and neutering these dogs? I get that they're hard to catch, but they don't really seem to have tried.

[@ninanoneya2829]

NothingChild agreed smh put some real people in charge.. these people seem like a bunch of fucking morons to me

[@heycarolineday]

It costs money and this rescue is probably operating on a shoestring budget.

[@TheKillaShow]

Who's paying?

[@Megan-19]

It's a nonprofit dipshit unless you wanna put up the money for all the dogs then shut it

[@RetroSoulGirl]

I volunteer at a metro Detroit dog rescue that works with DDR, and I can tell you right now that they spay/neuter way more dogs than what is discussed here. They do more than any dog rescue has in metro Detroit, and we have hundreds of rescues.

[@alecksa9857]

[@rescueistheway4470]

I can't finish looking at this..it's too freaking sad😥😥

[@eajoseph217]

Who's saying WHAT bad things about DDR!?!?! None of the people who run the program are living in 10,000sq/ft homes, driving Bently's, eating at the Whitney (expensive restaurant in Downtown Detroit, just FYI) every night for dinner. They're modest people who give up their time to help animals who can't help themselves. I'd love to give those who try to smear DDR's image a piece of my mind. Apparently, I can afford it, and they need some brains.

[@lorismith5224]

Great organization indeed!

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

What are Keisha’s (sp) dogs doing on chains and unaltered?

[@gloriav7646]

Some of the dogs arent kid friendly because they havent been socialized so to have them running free is dangerous. And these people barely have money to feed themselves much less the dogs or to get them medical care

[@dandydylan4012]

When you let dogs out to pee or have outside time, you usually chain them up especially if you don’t have a completely stable fence (her fence is rickety and a dog could jump over it)

I think Victoria's accent is sounding more American

[@DEricsonPR]

@threalsitygirl I am so glad this piece helped shed some of the bad rumors about DDR. the fact is DDR is open and very transparent to how it deals with rescue dogs. All of the bad comments you have heard comes from those rescue group advocates outside Detroit who seem to feel DDR came onto the scene too fast, with a lot of media hype and with the opinion that DDR cofounders did not pay their "dues" in rescue. Regardless of how DDR came into the market - they raised the bar and awareness in D

[@TMS-pj7fp]

I get they r trying to help these animals, but get them fixed . I know in NC they had a program that if you were not financially able you can get your dog fixed for a very affordable price. I did that in 2002 and I think I paid $38 to get my female fixed. I understand not all animals r gona become family pets, speak to vets etc. , trap the ones you can, get them fixed, if they r not able to be home, release them , put in a sanctuary, at least they won't be creating more litters.

[@EzraSol_]

Ok so Gizmo has been around there for four years, they could very easily catch him to neuter him but they haven't so I don't see a point in even calling themselves a 'rescue' if they don't try to save every dog, even if it is just to spay them or neuter them

[@Acidfunkish]

[@threalsitygirl]

I've heard a lot of bad things about DDR and honestly.. I don't see any of them being true. They are helping these dogs to the best of their ability. This is why I'm not always fond of animal cops, because they take dogs like these and try to adopt them out, but end up euthanizing them when they were completely fine living on the streets. As long as DDR makes sure they have medical attention, food and shelter, I believe these dogs are well taken care of.

Hey Victoria! How are you? Alex here! I have a question for you! It's a very unusual one! My family and I recently 'rescued' a neglected male dog from the family living opposite us. We also have neighbors with 3 dogs (2 male and one female). One of them has some cuts and is very itchy! This same dog will come across by us. Our dog that we rescued will continually lick the other dog's genitals! I know some dogs do this2 get info about other dogs, but is it normal2 do this EVERY second?! Thank u!

I have a pretty pit, she’s a tiny bit out of shape and to a threatening stranger, she can look scary but I promise you she will be the scared one. She’s a big ass scaredy cat. I personally have nothing against bully breeds but where I live they seem to be the most consistently thrown out breed. I’ve seen probably hundreds roaming around. Pits boxers shepherds.. it’s horrible and I’d love to give these dogs the perfect home if I had the space.

[@wilhelminahorn1662]

I'm convinced that Gizmo is or was a lapponian herder. It would have been good to spay him, but lapponian herders are really sturdy outdoor dogs, quite suitable for an independent life like that. I think DDR are doing a good thing keeping him where he is and feeding him, but I can't understand how people are able to abandon their dogs like that.

[@rileylupus4781]

To everyone who is saying to spay and neutering the dogs, it's hard to catch them and it takes alot of money to spay and neuter. The DDR are a charity and can only use the money that people donate. So if you are so but hurt that they are not spaying and neutering the dogs DONATE to help them do that.

[@dynamicaudiomastering6487]

How ridiculous, I dream of having one of those houses. In Southern California we don't have enough houses and guess what happens. Supply and demand keeps the prices high.

[@ThePimmy11]

People are wary about buying there. It's only a hour from Flint, notorious lead filled public water. Many areas have none or next to none public services so no: schools, fire Dept, law enforcement. The area is depressed so there are entire neighborhoods with food scarcity and limited employment opportunity. That leaves it only suitable for people with no children, no plans for children, well working car to commute to employment, or someone independently wealthy who probably doesn't want to live somewhere like this. You might luck out, some neighborhoods there are community gardening, safe guarding and self policing abandoned properties to prevent children getting dragged into abandoned buildings and molested.
