Please more senior dogs. They need help getting adopted.

[@Yvaelle]

Barney is the cutest!

[@Yibambe.]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

[@LvndrHppE2]

I've had several senior dogs, and they are so sweet.

[@joyousdog1]

I'm so glad an adult dog was also featured this time. Puppies are adorable, and the opportunity for some silly humor is always a treat. But getting older dogs into loving homes is even better!

[@BeeWhistler]

And it was such an adorable dog! I like the idea of adopting an older pet who really needs a home. We specifically looked for a cat who had been waiting a while and she fits right in… she’s timid and so are we, lol.

[@user-yn7yo1co3k]

Very good point. 👉

[@Belle0477]

I was a bit disappointed that the dogs were mostly puppies. I’d like to see dogs that are often harder to get adopted - older, senior, and/or with disabilities.

[@user-yn7yo1co3k]

@@Belle0477 Very good point. 👉

[@dreapress1227]

Absolutely! My family just adopted a 12 year old Siamese cat from our local shelter! He’s the absolute best! I hope they continue to feature older dogs!

[@vorpalbunny4091]

"Please help the older dogs as well" cannot be said often enough. They are the ones truly challenged in finding homes. 💔 💔 💔 💔 💔

[@AmateurHistorian999]

I'm more of a cat person. At 67, I'm reluctant to make another commitment to a young cat that I maybe can't see through to the end. So next time I'm ready for a new cat(s), I'll adopt the oldest ones and become an Old Cats Home. 🙂🙂🙂

[@angiebear8727]

@@AmateurHistorian999That’s great. My step daughter works at a shelter and there’s nothing sadder than older animals who’ve lost their owners. I’m sure those lucky kitties will be happy to warm your lap while singing to you with their healing purrs. ❤

[@AmateurHistorian999]

@@angiebear8727 TL;DR -- be warned! I love the idea of being a cat hospice. Austin has, I swear, the best, most amazing no-kill animal shelter and clinic in the country, Austin Pets Alive. The director, a vet, pioneered a treatment protocol for parvovirus, a disease of puppies, that raised the survival rate from 10% to 86% and is now standard veterinary practice. The clinic is on its way to becoming the Johns Hopkins of veterinary medicine. When APA takes in an animal, they commit to it for life and care for it until the end or until it's adopted. They actually own the animal and so can take it away from a bad home or "caregiver." Adopters can return the animal any time -- and only to APA; adopters sign a contract -- and they take it back, no questions asked. If the animal goes to a foster home, APA provides all its medical care at its own expense. And APA is the center of the huge animal rescue community here. Lucky lucky Austin, lucky animals, lucky me. I'm all kinds of proud. Can you tell? I'm not the only one amazed by APA. They get so many visits from shelter staff coming to learn how it does its magic that they started a companion organization, American Pets Alive, that holds conferences where they teach the magic. People come from all over North America and beyond. Blows my mind. Elderly animals take a lot of staff time and few people adopt them, so APA takes all the help it can get. I've had many many cats and seen most of them through to the end, so in effect I've been running a cat hospice for decades. Every animal deserves loving care until the end, and I can give it. And I'm a minister, so I care for their beautiful souls too, and this'll be a fresh spiritual commitment for me. There aren't many things I'd rather do. I haven't talked to APA yet but I've volunteered with them for years, they know me, and they'll agree. As soon as my one cat passes on, I'll get going. (She won't tolerate another animal.) She's 15 years old and healthy, so who knows when. Meantime there's a shelter full of cats, dogs, chickens, goats, the occasional horse or llama, even once a giraffe. Now that would've been an helluva job. 😆😆😆 I'm also thinking about taking on FeLV (feline leukemia virus) positive cats. Despite its name, FeLV is the cat equivalent of HIV. There's a vaccine but it's only 70% effective and not widely used. FeLV is 100% fatal, fairly contagious (only to cats), and death comes within a year. APA has a FeLV+ hospice, but FeLV+ cats need even more and specialized care. They're of course unadoptable and fosters won't take them. I'd be the first, and like I said it would be a sacred commitment. OK, if you made it this far, I apologize for chewing on your ear about Austin Pets Alive. It doesn't take much to get me going. It's great to connect with people who love animals and see their beautiful souls. Blessings, my sister in animal care!

[@nomadicroadrat]

More senior dogs, please At least a couple per segment. Maybe a segment just with older dogs?

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

Rescue old rescue? Rescue senior rescue?

[@MothGirl007]

Yes, please!

[@Unfortunately_Mickey]

My 11 year old rescue beagle agrees with you

[@maureen669]

I just posted the same thing -- more segments with only senior dogs. 🐾🥺

[@angelikalindenau943]

Pre-loved dogs need a second chance. And all those who missed out on love altogether before!

[@dancingottergirl]

I love this segment and love that this time they had a slightly older dog included-I think it’s so important we don’t forget about the older dogs (and cats, and other animals) waiting for their forever home!!!

[@safaiaryu12]

Honestly, I was thinking they should do older dogs more often. Puppies are more likely to get adopted anyway; now that they know this segment is successful, they should use the Late Show spotlight for dogs that have less of a chance!

[@dancingottergirl]

@@safaiaryu12 I completely agree!

[@swapshots4427]

And the older guy is the choice I'd make. No.! I did not mean Stephen.!

[@mindyrosin]

Great point! Maybe a Senior Segment for old doggies. I like it! ❣️

[@mindyrosin]

​@@swapshots4427IDK, I'd take the older one and I DO mean Stephen! But I'd want his lovely wife Evey too! Perhaps for a delightful double date night. I could bring my old one too! Wouldn't that be fun? 🤓

[@maureen669]

I wish they had several of these episodes where SENIOR dogs are up for adoption. 🥺🐾

[@OrangePoppy-js6qe]

I love that a older dog was included. Please do more rescue dog rescue segments.🐶

[@Yibambe.]

Please feature more older dogs. They're beautiful souls who are often left behind in shelters. Thanks for all you do!

[@mamawray]

Imagine adopting a dog that' has not only been on TV but has been held by Daniel Ratcliffe.

[@TracyAdams-ry2fc]

Yeah, Harry Potter holding Harry Pupper!😂

[@eclectickimmer]

D.R. is the sweetest guy!

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Rather adopt Radcliffe as he won't poop in or dig up the yard, won't interrupt my sleep with incessant barking, won't eat the couch cushions, shoes, etc....

[@einat1622]

​@@ThatOpalGuy You don't know that.

[@AmateurHistorian999]

I'd forget all about it in 3 minutes, 'cuz a dog is a dog and the dog doesn't know it was famous for 3 minutes.

[@maryallan3982]

THANK YOU for including a senior puppy. When I made that suggestion as an audience member, I wasn't sure if I would see it happen!! I appreciate you!

[@freefoodchef7939]

I want Barney! That sweet look he got on his face when he heard Stephen say his name was 🥴💕

[@North_West1]

Can’t decide who is cuter…Daniel or the puppy. I’ll take both.

[@NCXDesigns]

Preach!

[@matthewbankey5547]

Shoutout to Barney and all older dogs everywhere!

[@amymorris2341]

Thank you for including an older dog, please keep bringing them! Daniel was legitimately excited to hold every one of those dogs, it was so cute.

[@mistressmozart]

yesss please feature more older dogs! it's hard for them to find homes

[@ursaltydog]

Please someone, give Barney a good home! And keep all senior dogs in mind when you choose a furbaby..

[@HBatch]

I checked and he has been adopted!

[@ursaltydog]

@@HBatch Awesome!!!

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

Barney was the cutest of the bunch.🖤

[@Meibot-gb8pu]

I love the senior dogs! I've adopted one that 9 yrs old and another that was 12. The best dogs. Also, they often are given up after years of being in the same home because their owner has passed on or their family just decided they no longer want it. It's especially traumatic and they need that extra care and love because they're very confused about why they suddenly have no home.

[@AmateurHistorian999]

That's heartbreaking. Shelter workers know that and work extra hard to rehome them. The director of the shelter where I volunteer keeps his office full of surrendered dogs, giving them as much attention as he can. It's the happiest room in the shelter, people constantly coming in for a play break, dogs tumbling over the humans and each other, spilling out of the office and people chasing them. I suspect the director does most of his work at home. 😄😄😄

[@happyfunjenn]

MR COLBERT, I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO A SEGMENT FOR SENIOR DOGS, SIR

[@happyfunjenn]

Also... Awwwwwwwwwwww

[@andikasic4793]

I second this ❤

[@vorpalbunny4091]

Oh, most definitely!!

[@AniMerci]

YES!!! #SeniorDogsRock

[@Martyre20]

Omfg barney! Someone love that sweet baby!

[@themadblonde]

Thank you for including an older dog!! Would love to see more of them!! Good luck to Barney- may you find a loving Forever Home!!

[@dreapress1227]

I am so happy you featured an older dog! My family just adopted a 12 year old Siamese cat from our local shelter. He’s the sweetest cat and is so loving! I hope you continue to feature older dogs! ❤

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Much as I love the various repeat special segments, on a few late night shows, this is the sweetest and most wholesome thing! You get a good bit of info about Stephen and the guests who help too. Dogs are good judges of character, they seemed very relaxed with both gents, and there wasn't as much as a yip or nip, despite the surroundings being undoubtedly scary!

[@AniMerci]

More older and senior dogs, please! #SeniorDogsRock #AdoptDontShop 🙏❤️🐾

[@dogsratsfishcats]

Thank you for featuring an adult dog that is also all black! We used to foster and wound up adopting two all black pets because they are often overlooked in shelters. They can be hard to photograph, but they are very easy to love!❤️

[@Shadoweclipse1386]

I believe you, but that's crazy! I grew up with a black lab and a black cat and both were SO sweet. I'd go to a black animal first at a shelter ❤

[@colleenfraserdoggiekisses]

I have 2 black lab/pit mix, siblings I took together, they were older and bonded and no one wants that. I also have 2 black bobbed tail kittens that were found at 1 week old. All foster fails.

[@kilmer009]

Black cat owner here. They are the best. Sometimes all you see is two glowing eyes when looking into a dark room lol.

[@EdDueim]

I have a friend who volunteers at an animal shelter. He told me that black cats are difficult to find homes for. I asked if it was superstition and he said it was because they don't show up well on Instagram.

[@AndiNewtonian]

@@EdDueim I'm also an animal rescue volunteer. A tip I learned recently for photographing black dogs and cats is to set your phone camera to night mode. It's amazing the difference it makes!

[@SuzanneLewinson]

If I was in NYC I would take home Barney in a heartbeat!!!

[@kristeneL]

Yes, I love it when they have this segment. Please consider adoption before you buy 🐾

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

LOL Daniel:"Oh, sorry...he's a powerful WHIZZER"

[@virginiaamorebieta]

Wish the segment would feature older & senior Dogs too

[@djstarrjunkie]

I'll take them all, Radcliff and Colbert too~

[@cdeisenberg]

Adding my support for having more older dogs! They need the help more and as cute as these puppies are to watch, that's why they don't really need the Colbert bump!

[@myahitt1247]

“HALLO STEPHEN!” he’s so enthusiastic about everything he dies, what a gem of a person (:

[@prestuvius]

Barney was SUCH A GOOD BOY.

[@lionessmummy4418]

Dan knows how to hold a puppy! Must be all that practicing he does holding his own kid!

[@StarPlaty]

I wasn't sure with the 1st one, but maybe he was just trying to get the right pup angle for the camera.

[@jamesyates1432]

The puppies a sweet and gorgeous, but PLEASE, more older dogs!!!!

[@Nan-59]

Please, PLEASE did this segment MORE OFTEN!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DancerGirl-24]

Awesome that you are doing this Rescue Dog Rescue, Stephen.. Thanks so much to North Shore Animal League, Daniel Radcliffe and Simparica too. SO very important. And how great that you have a perfect record for adoptions!

Puppies are cute, but shelters have loads of adult and senior dogs that need a good home, who can be wonderful companions. Please feature older dogs, they need your help.

[@omaramoo1509]

GOD bless Stephen Colbert☝

[@MG-jj3pn]

I adopted 2 older dogs from a shelter They are marvelous Glad I did it

[@ivareskesner2019]

I know everybody remembers him as Harrry the Potter, but I always remember him as the guy who had a corpse for a friend in Swiss Army Nan, for some reason. Was just more memorable to me.

[@OnceUponaPoet]

I very much enjoyed Swiss Army Man. Definitely think of more of his current work when I do think of him, but I have a kid and she's into the Harry Potter series rn.

[@ivareskesner2019]

​@@OnceUponaPoetMeans she's a healthy youngster 😁👍🏻

[@11cabadger]

Interesting. I remember the first time I saw him, I didn't know who he was: "David Copperfield". Now when I see him, I think of him in "The Woman in Black". (I've never been so creeped out since "The Shining". Thank you Daniel.😶‍🌫️)

[@NCXDesigns]

That’s a cute pupper and the dog he’s holding is cute too 😈

[@dangelacoppedge6529]

[@tats_sacs]

I think Radcliffe can host a show. Get him to guest host at the daily show, Colbert!

[@francescaa8331]

Barney! 💜💜💜

[@11cabadger]

Were these descriptions especially clever (Harry Pupper) or was it just the enthusiastic delivery by Daniel & Stephen? 👍🏼 for doing a "RDR" for older dogs. (Maybe 2 and up?) Think how proud you'd make Benny that his papa did a mitzvah for a stranger. How about a "Rescue Black Cat Rescue" on Halloween? For some crazy reason, it doesn't matter if they are kittens or older cats, these cuties are the hardest to adopt out.😿

[@bwenluck9812]

@11cabadger Adopting out black cats around Halloween? Sounds like a very bad idea! Most shelters won't do it because the nut jobs like to sacrifice black cats that day....

[@eleanorferguson3190]

Do one with all senior dogs! It's way harder to adopt them and you could do a lot of good

Stephen, plz do a show for adopting out senior dogs. Too many people basically "throw away" an old dog, esp when they get a new puppy for their kids.

[@palsinaaer]

Love that they included an adult dog this time! Of course it's harder to pick up a big dog for the joke... Maybe they could do a senior small dogs episode? ❤❤❤❤

[@bwenluck9812]

Small dogs are nearly non-existent at shelters. Most old folks want smaller dogs, so they get adopted out quickly....

[@stephanielight4161]

These are the BEST SEGMENTS EVER! 👏👏👏👏👏 LOVE that you included the adorable OLDER dog, as well as the adorable little guys 😊
