It's so beautiful when an old dog gets saved and realizes he'll be loved for the time he has left. I wish more people were willing to rescue seniors! Puppies are awesome but old dogs are such a blessing and deserve all the happiness and comfort possible.

I certainly would! We’re limited to 20 pounds for a dog. So that means small. I want another dog so much. My kids live 2500 miles away so visits are few. But to open the door and see someone excited I’m home would do so much for my frame of mind.

Adopting senior dogs takes a lot of heart. You are a good dude. Your passion is so sincere and heartwarming.

[@RoidRageRodgers]

My family adopted a large senior dog. His previous owner never fed him or let him indoors, so he was practically a street dog. He was forced to eat whatever he found, including cats, so the shelter labelled him a "vicious dog." He had been so feral, he never once barked. He only gave little "huffs." But we adopted him, and he was the sweetest, most obedient, mild mannered old man. Even his licks were overly gentle. He was aggressive to cats at first, but after only a few days of training, he let our kittens play all over him! He died peacefully in his sleep at 14 with no prior health problems.

[@mellvee]

I spent two years rescuing actively but had to step completely back because of the toll it took on my physically and emotionally. I saw the worst things you can ever imagine and actually have diagnosed PTSD due to the trauma. I'm so amazed and grateful for the heroes that keep going and doing what I couldn't. In the end, I ended up with 4 foster fails. We love them all very much but they're now all senior dogs. I've decided that I can't handle raising and loving another dog from a young age, because I'm so devastated at the thought of mine not being here with us as the days go by and they get older so quickly. So once my babies are gone, I'm going to send my husband to the shelter and tell him to bring me the two oldest, "ugliest" dogs he can find (I don't believe any dogs are "ugly", but I know that the ones who are missing eyes or legs, etc., are considered "ugly" and "unadoptable" by those who want puppies), and that's what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. I'm going to spend my middle age and golden years adopting the most "unadoptable" small dogs I can find, so that I can show as many of them as possible, two at a time, at least a little measure of comfort and love, and so that when they die, they die in a home surrounded by love.

My rescue had lost an eye not from abuse but from other dog trauma when her late orig owner's fam tried their best to rehome her...then they wisely surrendered her to breed rescue where I got her. So she'd been thru some stuff, but ultimately went on to become my biggest most spoiled rotten brat baby who lived her best life like a queen for the next 10 yrs w/me.... haha Loved that girl to the moon and back...

Although we only had Sawyer for 3 weeks before he passed, it was a GREAT three weeks for all of us. In such a short time Sawyer changed my life. I just adopted another senior dog last week. Daisy is 'younger' than Sawyer, but needs help, too. Daisy looks to have been a breeder dog, which is sad. She was found 'running at large' in Washington DC. Anyway, I send you love and a hug for adopting a senior cancer kiddo. God bless you always!!!

What a lovely animal! I am happy you took him in. He's lucky to have you!!

[@patking264]

I’m amazed how Jasper reacted to the pack and they to him, so welcoming, he’s a lucky boy!

[@user-uj8dh7gf4g]

There’s just something about the way that Lee greets every new rescue like he/she is the most beautiful, special, loved dog on earth. Does my heart good.

[@jadefire2817]

What a big beautiful boy Jasper is! He wasn't phased at all. Thank you so much for what you do, and for sharing it with us! ❤

[@kp8381]

I live in TX and Lee is absolutely right. So.many backyard breeders and then they end up in shelters. It's truly sad. So rescue,rescue if you can. Jasper will love being loved and cared for by Lee. Thank you. Ps. That little Moo fit right in. 🐄🐶

[@MsWarriordiva]

Backyard breeders should be illegal!!!!

[@kp8381]

@@MsWarriordiva I agree completely but no way to regulate it. Very sad .

[@_Y.Not_]

Here in Canada it is not always easy to adopt a dog as they are not always available (we do have shelters but the choice is very limited at times), I so wish you could send some Texas dogs our way, not only would they get homes but be saved from death and overcrowded shelters.

[@kp8381]

@@_Y.Not_ I wish we could send them too. 😔

[@lesliebeacom4567]

I'm in TX too, and it's not just backyard breeders that concern me, but backyards in general! Right now we're experiencing 100+° days. I hear dogs all the time in the neighborhood crying out for help. They need shade or water, or both! I'll go and knock on the door, and more often than not, I'll have to leave a note. If I could, and if it wasn't illegal, I'd take every one of these dogs home with me, but I can't. I pray they get the help they need.

[@swamprat999]

Oh and there's sweet Lucy, she's settled in and welcoming her new pack mate!💕 Thanks so much!

[@sharonkingwell6914]

Wonderful yet again Lee, Jasper is a real little sweetheart and seems a bit shutdown at the moment, but with the brilliant pack he will come round and get to know and love his brothers and sisters, good job Lee

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Right as you're standing at the gate, Jasper on the leash..it's just a sea of dogs with their tails wagging..it's beautiful.

[@reddalchemy5970]

What a feeling a rescued dog by Lee must feel once they get to Asher House and see all those other saved dogs. Once they integrate into the pack, it must be such a calming thing, to know that they are finally safe, and loved and have so many new siblings to love and adore them back. WOW. Every one of these videos are just magical and lovely. Lee, you help me smile and keep faith in humanity. Keep doing what your are doing.

[@milliereuther8684]

I enjoy all your videos. It's so great to see a senior dog being rescued. Thank you, Lee, for all that you do for all the animals you save. You are truly one in a million!!

[@zenamen5221]

Thank you for telling us about Texas and being the stand-up guy that you are; Jasper is so sweet.

[@laurat1129]

I LOOOVE old dogs!💕 And one named "Jasper"? You got me.😂 ETA: Not sure if Houston is worse, but I got all my dogs from shelters/streets of LA. And all except the first (who died of hemagiosarcoma at only eight yrs-young) lived to ~15/16, despite my own personal struggles. This was including the last one, Chet, adopted at ten. So you never know what comfort, companionship, love (and, of course, good food!) can do to bring an animal back to life.💕🐶🌈

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Lee, and the Asher house team, Jasper, is so sweet, thank you for taking him in. Love Katherine xoxo

[@elizabethtate890]

Jasper is such a pretty boy! It won't take him long to realize he has a loving forever home! It's so sweet to see as soon as you squat down, everybody wants your attention, it just shows how much they love you and you love them. Thank you for rescuing him, my last three dogs were seniors. I lost one last year and just recently got a 17 year old who was going to be put down if she didn't find a home. She is a sweetheart and has just started to show affection for me, I was so excited! Keep up the great work!!😊😊🐶🐶

[@lisalesinszki7536]

Your pack sure does love you, Lee. They definitely recognize you as their pack leader. I’m jealous of all those doggie kisses you get!

[@sherryjacobs3907]

He is precious. So glad he will live his new life knowing only love and happiness.

[@mikeymike758]

Thank you so much for giving Jasper a loving home in his senior years! The old Boy deserves to be with a loving pack in his final years. :-) You're a good Man Sir.

[@lacey1714]

I rescued a hound and I have zero regrets from the start. Seriously the most gentle giants. Now I’m adopting more LOL

[@AGoddess18]

The pack is becoming so used to getting new siblings. Wonderful story 🥰

[@amandaach1153]

Another great story. And Roger is so beautiful and seems to be flourishing just like ALL your dogs.

[@ysidrarodriguez1985]

It's so heartwarming to see them so warm and safe. They have to worry no more. Thank God for this man!!!

[@andreawinder399]

Lee, you are so loved and I appreciate all you do..May our Lord bless and keep you and all the fur babies

[@debbinevius3454]

I love what you you do and how much you care for these precious babies! Thank you 🙏

[@debraalldredge3032]

He is sooooo sweet!! Such soulful eyes. U can tell he's been thru it. It is such a blessing he gets to spend his final chapter with the best doggie daddy in the world.

[@lindadepascale8290]

Such a sweet video. Thank you for giving Jasper a loving home and for bringing to our attention the sad situation in Texas. I hope people respond to your outreach. ❤️❤️❤️

[@elmofudpucker3418]

You’re so amazing. Even senior dogs need your love. Jasper is getting the best guy for the rest of his life. You’re both blessed.

[@karenvolpe6200]

There isn't a better place for this dog than the Asher House. He will live the rest of his life in peace..God Bless U!

[@staceyanderson5901]

Thank you from Texas. We are overwhelmed with dogs on the street. All of our rescues are full, transporting dogs to other states. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I can’t tell you how many times I have wished you were here.

[@susanroberts6652]

Beautiful Jasper!❤️🐾..Lee you are one in a million!!!!!..love and hugs to you all!🇦🇺

[@robinjaffin3418]

Shout out to,the transporters. All of my senior rescue dogs were transported from the south by dedicated generous souls. Angels on wheels.

[@austinhowland300gmail.]

Hi Robin

[@johngulino2651]

I like how Lee Asher reacts to a new dog. He’s so positive, so affirming. 😀

[@jfinsd7070]

Senior rescues are the best. I'm 6 months in to fostering an 8 yr old english bulldog. She was a breeder and when she was no longer needed was given to rescue. She is the best dog ever. So chill and a typical bulldog.

[@davidlease6225]

I love how your pack is so welcoming to new dogs

[@donnahorowitz3314]

Thanks Lee Asher, you are truly an angel. I love watching you save all these beautiful animals!!! You are an inspiration & definitely my favorite person!!!💝😻💞🥰

[@lilymoy2265]

I volunteer at an animal shelter in San Angelo, TX called "Concho Valley PAWS". The shelter is currently over capacity and doing its best to care for over 300 animals with only a handful of staff and volunteers. If you're looking for a dog that desperately needs a home, some of these pups have been here for years, and there are always new arrivals. We do what we can, but the shelter so badly needs volunteers, donations, and forever homes for the animals. Thank you Lee for bringing attention to the TX dog problem. Whoever reads this, if you're currently looking and ready to take on the responsibility, please come take home some of these magnificent pets. I walk them daily and can personally vouch that these furry dudes deserve all the love. Breaks my heart to see them wait so long.

[@ingcod6695]

It makes me so sad that there are so many abused, discarded and stray dogs. People should realise how grateful and living rescue dogs are. Please keep on doing the wonderful job you do. 🙏
