Life Lessons I’ve Learned From Adopting Shelter Dogs ❤️ 🐶

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

It was both joyful and heartbreaking to make this video. Seeing old photos and memories of the dogs we've lost over the years has made me very emotional. I can't seem to stop crying! I treasure every moment I had with them ❤️

[@asm9547]

WELCOME TO MY CURLS love the end! Such wisdom and compassion. Reminds me of my current boy and my past boy. Love Pollux doing the butt check, my sheltie boy does the same to his westie brother!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I'm just picturing your guys in my head....so cute!!

[@hallymariah45]

This is so good for others to see so they can follow your lead! Don't shop/ADOPT! I had a beautiful English Setter (Sally) when I was a child. I had her up to at least till I was 18. I'm 74, now...I still love her, I hope she's in heaven to greet me..... I live in Massachusetts

[@terrielilley4841]

beautiful video....and i am crying with you!!!!

[@sharoneastwood.1025]

But you've given them such a great life. No regrets when it comes to loyal love of a dog.

[@ivanaaparicio1788]

I’ve rescued FOUR dogs in a very bad and sad shape from the streets.. Probably abandoned and abused. Since I moved to a house with a yard six years ago, every dog I’ve seen suffering in the streets that broke my hurt 😢, I took it home. So now those four are living together with me. Except the last one that FOUND ME almost two years ago during a cold and winter night. .He was the most desperate being I’ever seen in my life . He was looking for a home and a family and he chose mine. It seems to be that the four of them forgot completely their past because they behave like just born puppies 😂😂 they are extremely happy and they take care of each other as if they were together for ever. They love each other so much. Sunday mornings I let them come to our bed.. of course the mess 😂😂😂😂is overwhelming.. They are amazing 😉 but too much spoiled 😂😂 the magic word is “cookie” to have them sitting down around the jar in seconds 😂😂I am from Argentina 🇦🇷 so excuse my English sometimes ... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@catherine5541]

Ivana Aparicio Dear Ivan’s , I am so grateful there are people like you in this world. I will never understand how humans can be so cruel and neglectful to such loving creatures. I am so glad you brought each other joy.

[@meghanjames565]

Ivana Aparicio your a sweet person with a big heart

ivana aparicio - That's tearjerking *sob*

[@jkamahshyyamen9932]

Thank you so much and I am so greatful and at one point in my life I didn't know there were owners who abandoned dogs in the street and i have been devastated ever since so thank you for reminding me that there are people like you out there

[@hallymariah45]

Donl't know why but Pollux has my heart...maybe it's because of the dismal life he had from a baby on up...I'm sure the shelter was good to him...but it's not home...and the love you guys have given him have made him come out of his shell...and it's just so wonderful to watch!!!!!

[@MichaelMontague]

I took a "Judy" just yesterday! Love your Family, your Dogs, and your heart! Keep the love and warmth coming!

[@KarenLawana]

There's no love like a dog's love. And there's no dog love like a shelter dog's love. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes for the ones I've lost, and a smile on my face for the ones that are here with me now. Thanks for a beautiful, sweet video.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

❤️❤️❤️ same here Karen

A home is not a home without a pet... dog cat bird bunny any Pet gvs love and is a blessing

[@kathleen2372]

I can’t believe how enriched my life is with my rescued dogs. I was 50 when I adopted my first rescue dog, then 52 when I added my second, who was a senior. She passed away a few years later and I’m searching for another now. I’d like to get another senior dog as Choobie is now 9 and misses Cookie. I agree with each of your lessons learned from adopting a rescue. ❤️🐕

[@joannemurdock7899]

I agreed with U. Seniors dogs at shelters or rescue elderly dogs r the best grateful, deserving of that TL C. In their later years 💕💙💜😘🤗🤗😒🤗👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💙❤️💜🙏🙏

[@OurPetss.]

Pollux loves his new family. He acts like he has hit the biggest jackpot ever. You know what, he has. Best family ever. He and Maxxie are best buddies. Bless this family.

[@janethamil9337]

Great life lessons! I live in the country and we have always had a poor unwanted (by someone else) dog that needed a good home. They were dumped near by and came to the house. They have made wonderful pets and have guarded the farm well. About 15 yrs ago we lost our beloved Winston and no one was leaving us a dog during the night so my husband went to the County Animal Control and brought home a pitbull mix. At first I was upset because we had small grandchildren, but I am telling you that girl was the best dog ever! She loved us, we loved her and everyone that knew her loved her. Then she passed away almost 2 years ago back to animal control we went and brought home a german shepard. The first year was wild, he was young and we are old..lol. But he is amazing now, he loves us and we love him. They do teach us a whole lot and have so much love to give. Folks don't waste your money on those high priced breeds, go to your shelters. Give them the love and they will love you back.

[@maryatkinson2586]

You both are a treasure to have. May God Bless You both.

[@cholehill8638]

you are an amazing fur baby mommie

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Thank you Chole! I love my doggies ❤️

[@juliemackenzie1978]

I adopted my first shelter dog 5 years ago...after my dog Spike crossed The Rainbow Bridge. He truly seems so appreciative being adopted by me...I love him to the moon & back. Plus, now that I'm an "empty-nester" he keeps me great company. Rusty.. my shadow.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

So sweet! My dogs are my shadow too. They both go wherever I go....even peering into the bathroom. Gosh!

[@juliemackenzie1978]

WELCOME TO MY CURLS Yes...stuck to me like glue....👍🐶😍

[@jasminesinclair8382]

I loved this vlog. So true. Got teary eyed at the end. Fur family truly knows how to love and enjoy life

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Well....I'm sitting here crying myself! This video was a tough one for me

[@jasminesinclair8382]

Well, they're our babies. It breaks us a little, but it teaches us that we still have so much love to give... so we continue to adopt. They need us and heal us in turn.

[@spiritmoonintuitive]

Pets love unconditionally.

[@weatherwax8541]

I absolutely love you! You are the most precious, sunshine and joy on KZbin! THANK YOU! for sharing your amazing life and teaching me something everytime I watch you and your darling family... all of you. I feel blessed to have found you and I feel you are a gift to us from God. This is alot of gushing, I know, but i needed to tell you how wonderful you are. I'm just a grandma who has lived long enough to appreciate the quality and the unique rarity a joyful countenance brings into our world. Thank you.

[@bdWongsWang]

I’ve always adopted, too. Shelter dogs are every bit as wonderful (probably MORE wonderful, honestly) as any other dog-there’s nothing like enriching an abandoned dog’s life, and in turn you get an incredibly enriched life yourself. (My dogs have always loved their beds. They generously share their beds with me!) 🛏 🤣

[@dianeturnage9046]

I have just rescued, not necessarily from the shelter, but when I saw animals who were injured, i took them in and nursed them back to health. We have had a horrible shelter in my town and just recently the people here got fed up and went before the city council to remedy the situation. Ypu can bet these councilmen will be voted out in the upcoming election.

[@lindaweston9456]

This was the first time I saw Maxi chewing on a toy! Even though he chose one without a face…usually that’s Pollux’s wheelhouse. And I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all of your videos. You’re the best Renee!

[@Nighthawk799]

The smile of pollux when he looks at you is all what we need to know!!!

[@laraoneal7284]

These two are hilarious together. I’ve never laughed so much watching these two play together. They love each other so much.

[@lorisimon2338]

I only get shelter dogs--and old ones at that cause I'm 64. Last dog was a blind cocker spaniel--so sweet.

[@sharroon7574]

Aaaaw we had a cocker spaniel when I was a kid

[@davidfoxall3344]

Pollux providing the textbook example of a completely contented Doggo

[@00wn]

Over the past 40 years...we have rescued 6 " Hard to Place" shelter dogs...from seniors to blind puppies. We gave them love-filled, safe, and happy lives. When I die....I hope someone says... " He didn't have much money, fancy cars, or a big house....but he did make a positive difference in the lives of some really cool dogs."

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Me too!! That is all I want to be remembered for...my love for my dogs 💗 Nothing else I could physically have in the world matters 🐶

[@srrfounder1]

I've never adopted a dog, but I've fostered seniors for almost 50 years now... THEY BRING ME JOY! 💚

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh the love of a senior dog....my Benny was a senior when we adopted him ❤️. People overlook senior dogs because they have such a short time left. But seniors need a home just like all dogs. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@johntatum8088]

I just love Pollux and must admit that is why I watch your Youtbue channel....not the only reason, but the main reason.

[@sondrasmith2691]

We did not think a thing about your sadness when you reflected on your sweet boys that are gone. I weep uncontrollably when we loose a pet, and I really don't care who hears or sees me. I mean weep like a child! It breaks my ❤. But, like you, when they are alive, they bring me so much joy! Maxi and Pollux always bring smiles to my face.

[@stevegrimes5105]

It doesn't matter what breed you adopt, dogs are so loving and forgiving. We thought that bulldogs were our only adoption target but found that a half german shepard, hard pittie girl was so loving!

[@sandwormgod0189]

You're right, I came across your site through Pollux and I've stayed for the updates. p.s. I love the curls and the colour.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Thanks so much 😊

[@donnakotoff9949]

You are just SO KIND!!! It really is obvious by the happiness seen all over your pooches how wonderful their lives are... and I know how wonderful your heaven's pooches were too !!! This really made me cry!

[@dianeturnage9046]

You are a joy and you are teaching me some valuable life lessons. I want you to know that when you cry, I cry, and when you laugh , I laugh. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless you and your sweet family.

[@renepena3024]

As an adult, I’ve had 3 shelter dogs. SOOOO much love, so many smiles, and wonderful companionship 💜. I’m a widow, and my dogs got me through. Currently, the one dog I have (Milo) is gonna be 17 soon. He STILL brings me so much joy 🤗🐶

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh wow.....17!! That is an accomplishment. I'm sure it's due to all the love you've given him 💗

[@Jylart]

Pollux really loves his bed!! He was so cute rolling around.

[@marietheresa7866]

You are a beautiful soul with a beautiful family. Both girls and their Dad have our love n respects in equal measure. Love, love and more love for Max and Pollux are in our hearts no less. Stay ever Blessed.

[@jenniferlee7167]

This meant so much to me Renee. My Schnauzer, Snuffy died in 1991 at 12.5 years of age, she had congestive heart failure and was the love of our lives. Where I live now, in a co-op in Washington, DC--no dogs are allowed, but I have taken in three shelter cats over the years since 1999. I have one with me now and he is so sweet but will be the last cat. I will move where I can have a dog and schnauzers are so special to me. I will most likely adopt a dog as you have. Pollux is special (such a love!) and to watch him with Maxxie and seeing how they get along so wonderfully is a lesion in diplomacy. Thank you!

[@mariamcclanahan470]

Greet them at the door. So nice I did that with my husband. He’s gone to heaven. Your right on with this sharing your life in such a loving manner. I respect you.

[@terryciavola2251]

I love dogs and cats. I've had 2 shelter dogs and 1 pup from a friends litter. Always have a cat. They all bring me such joy! When I fully retire I want another dog. Your dogs are all cute! Dogs are so much fun. How can we not love them? Yup just play! I took a Judy today! ❤️❤️❤️

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Yay!!! 😴

[@onemanswrld]

Much respect for anyone adopting a shelter dog.....well done.

[@Kristina-fl4dn]

Your dogs are so cute and I can tell that you are an amazing dog mama. I am glad they found a home with you and your family

You indeed are a Dogs Momma. Thank you from all our dog lovers.

[@maureensuggitt3217]

So nice to see Pollux come out of his shell. 💓

[@marleneflourentzou680]

I too had a blind dog from a shelter for many happy years. After he died a stray pregnant cat chose my house to deliver its 2 kittens-in the middle of winter - I hid them in a room for about two weeks until my husband discovered them and he doesn't like cats . As a result I made them a very warm home in my garden . Well the kittens sadly died after running under cars but we still have the very intelligent mothercat - and she has taught us that animals are the best parents ever -she also managed to change my husband's views on cats

[@judithhardy8031]

God bless you for giving these precious doggers a loving home... I've adoped three myself..

[@RafaelbySuzannah]

So adorable Pollux taking "a Judy" (aka nap) behind you! Remember the first KZbin that he was almost falling asleep standing!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Pollux has changed so much! He is actually asleep in the floor beside me right now. He's had breakfast and had zoomies in the yard. He and Maxxie have played...and now it's their time for a Judy. Love it!

[@TheRayjane]

Your the sweetest kindest lady. This was a wonderful video. You have the nicest energy...so positive and upbeat ❤️

[@kitten375]

You're a joy to spend time with. Your fur babies are lucky to be in your family.

[@elainelott9916]

Your video was wonderful!!! I started watching you when you adopted Pollux. He is such a sweetheart!!! I have had several shelter dogs and I agree that they have been awesome!! Now that I am a widow and live alone I find that my dogs are more precious to me than ever. They always make me smile no matter how bad the day is......their loving antics just show me just how important love is and that sometimes we just need to step back and appreciate life and its little moments. I thank God every day for my fur babies and the joy they bring to my life. Your animals are blessed to have you.

[@dawnruhl8405]

I foster for Great Dane rescue. I have had Danes for 25 years. Before that, always Schnauzers, too. When I became a dog groomer, and my white Schnauzer passed, I couldn't bear another one. My Danes are major Judy fans. I love your videos, they always make me smile. ThanQ!

[@ladypoly2304]

Just discovered your channel yesterday when Pollux's birthday vid pops up in my recommended vids. Binge watched the day you got him. You have a very big heart from being nudged when you saw his pic on the fb page to being so patient and loving to him as he adjust in your home. Your home is full of love and warmth.

[@richardkafka5625]

There is nothing that warms the heart more than the love of a dog! And shelter dogs especially. They just seem to appreciate and understand that you made the choice to make them part of your family. My Max, a 90 pound American Staffy, and lapdog, makes me smile and laugh everyday. The love I feel from him is beyond description. And watching Pollux go thru his journey with you and your family and Maxxie, reminds me of my journey when I first rescued Max. Thank you so much for these videos. I love them!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Awww thank you Richard!!! You are so right....there is nothing that can compare to the love of a shelter dog. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos because I truly enjoy sharing them. Thank you for watching 💗

Yes! Renee! Shelter dogs are the best. I have seen beautiful pure breed and other dogs in the shelter. I’ve breed bulldogs, I’ve bought dogs from breeders....never again! Too many wonderful dogs and cats are waiting in shelters for homes. I support shelter animals. They are wonderful animals.

[@barbaralemere5183]

Renee, I have been loving your channel. Sharing your journey with Pollux and Maxie has been delightful .

Very true life is short Wow Renee so beautiful to watch but at the same time made me cry for your loss of your gorgeous rescue dogs you have lost it’s always hard to lose your pets but at least they died with the love and the life they truely deserved and the ones you have now and what you have said that the ones you have love them and do what makes you happy with them absolutely true and I do that with mine but they will never replace for the ones that have past but your new pet just brings so much comfort love and soothes your heart and they comfort the pain of the ones that have past . Your gorgeous pets that have pasted will be waiting for us on the day we pass saying mummy finally. iv missed you Wagging their tails 🙏🙏🙏🙏thankyou for your special video about your pets just love you guys as always take care all of you Sydney Australia 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾💚💚🌈🌈🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏼🙏🙏 I wish I had you guys as neighbours 😊🐾🐾🐾🐶🐶🐶💜

[@rosegroshek1218]

What a great video with great lessons! Animals can teach us so much. My favorite lesson that I learned is that all different body sizes and types are special in their own way. If we can appreciate fat pets, little pets, big pets and all different colors/breeds-we need to appreciate all different kinds of people. Your pups are so lucky to have you!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hey Renee, i love your positive way of thinking, we need more of this👍🏻✌🏻

[@panheadipustex]

I am new to your channel and this video made me cry. I have loved watching your dog journey so far. It's amazing what we learn from these special creatures. I lost my chocolate lab in May and was broken. I've always been a dog person, though, and it was the first time I had been without a dog in years and years. Fast forward to September and somehow, despite the grief I felt, I met two rescue pups who would prove that I still had the capacity to love. I know my baby girl had guided them to me and here I am, a month later, and I am just so happy to have that warmth and love and spirit back in my home and life. So thank you for sharing. Because it means a lot during these hard times to watch something so beautiful especially when I totally get the journey. ❤️

[@mydalles8898]

My Parker turned 7 on May 11. He is not quite a shelter dog but close - I adopted him from a German Shepherd rescue at 5 months. He is a German Shepherd mix. The strongest bond I've ever had with a dog ♥️ He is so sweet and affectionate and always makes me laugh - like when he sometimes tries to yank the covers off me in the morning to wake me up. And we both love Cheetos too! I even love him enough to share the orange powder on my fingertips with him 😆 Nothing quite like having paw prints on your heart 🐾 Blessings to you and your family (doggies included!!) 😊

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Awww so sweet!!! There is nothing better than being woken up by a sweet doggie. Maxxie crawls up to my pillow every morning and starts to slowly lick my hands till I wake up 💗🐶💗

[@meghanjames565]

Well said. Life is short and the babies teach us all great life lessons and how to live life to its fullest. I love that your husband shares the Cheetos with the dogs. So cute. It was really nice seeing videos of the previous dogs. 💝

Love that you adopt, it is very rewarding. I have adopted 2 , and have bought from reputable breeders. Working on adopting again. Thanks for saving lives.

[@Beafree]

All my dogs have been shelter dogs. I have 3: German Shepherd/corgi (Duke), basset hound/pit (Chata), and a Terrier mix (Leti). My girls are constantly playing. Duke is the serious one, he plays with me but no one else. I have 3 autistic children that he somehow knows how to behave with them. One of my sons can be rough with him (pulling his ear) but Duke just sits there. He has so much patience with my son, Duke will sit by him when my son is having a sensory issue. They have a special bond that I sometimes tear up thinking that one day Duke won’t be with us anymore. Duke is a senior dog, I got him when he was 3 yo.

I must have needed this video today. I recently lost my schnauzer/westie boy of 16 years. I miss him so much. We decided to adopt again and got a 1.5 yr old little boy who was rescued from a shelter by a rescue group. He's a smart little guy with tons of energy. I know he and I will be fine. But our new normal isn't an easy one. Seeing this might make things a bit easier for me. TFS * L

You are such a sweetheart, Renee. The way you love your furbabies, the way you love your family, the way you love life in general, it`s very inspirational and heartwarming : ) Beloved pets bring such joy to our lives. The unconditional love they give us on a daily basis just makes us better people as a whole. We can learn so much from animals. I`m so glad I discovered your channel. I really do enjoy your videos and of course, the doggies! : ) God bless, ~ Judi : )
