I'm honestly not sure what happened to this dog before I met him | The Asher House

[@Relativecalm2]

I used to work at an animal shelter in my younger years. To this day the callous indifference, let alone the intentional suffering, that some people can have toward, and inflict on, another sentient creature, that will only ever want to love and be loved, defies my understanding. The relief I feel whenever Lee takes in another rescue is palpable. I breathe a little easier. Thank you. 🐈💕

[@rachelrach1153]

Same as people who slaughter and BUY meat products… all a cow wants us to live and be in the sun on a green pasture, pigs also… look what you all do to these animals Every time you stuff your face in your gut call Greg McDonald’s and Wendy’s and Burger King think about it think about it for a second free stuff you’re fat

You found better words than I could. Whoever hurts a kid or a baby, whether it has two legs or four legs, is a bad person. Period. Look at that face! So desperate and helpless, it breaks my heart. Seeing him in Lee's bed made me smile and tear up.

[@PeachesandMoss]

I so agree with you!

[@mountainwarrior8387]

I have a Pomchi that's had six owners! He's seven years old. Lord knows what he's been through. When he hears the words "eat" or "hungry," he runs and hides. It's a challenge to get him to eat. He'll go as long as two days before his hunger finally takes over and he'll eat. I have made a solemn oath to myself to show him the love and patience that he has obviously never experienced. I always "tell" him, "You've always been my dog. It just took you seven years to get to me." I hope my love will someday heal his emotional wounds and even if they don't, I will always try.

@flores171100 We bought our home and land when our first 2 Great Pyrenees were about a year old. They lived their whole life here together bonded siblings, happy as can be. Then we found a local rescue had sent a volunteer 3 hours away to pick up a Pyr (and a pregnant dog) who were due to be euthanized the next morning at 9 am. We fostered the Pyr within 3 days and knew we would never give her up. Then we found another Pyr (male) in a bad situation one state away from us, so we drove 3 hours each way to pick him up for immediate adoption. So here I am 3 months away from retirement….I can’t wait! We currently have 3 of our 4 vehicles as Pyr wagons..lol.. I see a Great Pyrenees rescue in my future! We have the land, goats, etc..but the dogs love the ac in the summer, and watching Animal Planet from our bed…lol..Our two huge babies were on our king sized bed with my hubs while I was getting ready for bed tonight …I love how Lee becomes so ecstatic when he sees his rescues start to relax and accept his affection without fear. ❤️
