I think it's coming, just not fast enough. I hope people are starting to wake up and realize that animals have way more emotions and intelligence than we initially gave them credit for 🩷

Yup. Instead we're welcoming cultures into the country that eat pets like we eat chicken wings

[@LalaRojas-jd5rc]

Thank you, I've been saying this for years!!! It'll be just like registering "certain people" but it'll be people who shouldn't own pets instead. They get caught slap them with a huge fine and put them in jail. I've read and seen so many horrible things people do to animals just for fun. I'm tired of seeing people who are monsters that treat animals horribly.

[@bkitteh6295]

People who adopt senior anything (dogs, cats, bunnies, etc.) are angels. They also need to have some money available because these loving older pets often need more vet care than the younger sweet peas, but they're worth every penny of it. ❤

I adopted a 15 yr old dog in horrific health. I promised her I was going to give her the best life can give. She lived a little more than a year and she was happy, excited and loving every minute of that year. Me too. Wonderful memory for me.

[@tinydancergirl4598]

That’s exactly what I was thinking- they must’ve sensed right away that he’s a special-needs doggie, and make him feel cared for- just like you! He really lucked out coming into your life in his remaining years.. you’re such an angel- especially providing him with his twin, to boot! What a sweet story…☺️

[@customer5032]

Thank you for rescuing and adopting these two adorable senior chihuahuas, and saving their lives! I have two also and they are the sweetest, most loving, snugglebugs ever. He was probably snappy from being terrified and in pain, but now that he is safe and comfortable and receiving medical care, I know he will unlearn that behavior. So happy he has dog and cat siblings to play with! 💝

“He was desperate for love but was scared” Broke my heart 😭Chihuahuas are seriously so clingy, they need attention like air. So even though he was standoffish, I 100% agree it was hard for him and he really wanted to be pet and loved and held.

I also have a dog who was abused by previous owners. He’s a 60 lbs “duck tolling retriever” and was abused at a very young age but was eventually picked up by “the humane society” and we adopted him at just 1 years old. He was super scared to meet us and it honestly took him like a year to start loving us because since he was abused at such a young age he just grew a natural hate towards humans but, he is now 5 years old and always clings to me for love and support. He’s still scared of other people but he loves me. And yeah that’s my dogs story.
