I want to tell you about my first dog. My husband thought he was driving me to the mall. I said I wanted to check out the pound first. He told me they don't have any good dogs there. There were 33 cages, 2 dogs per cage. He really liked one in cage 1. He liked one in cage 2 better. This continued to the end. We adopted Sparky from cage 32. He lived 16 years, beloved throughout. He was the first of 7 rescues. I'm widowed now, currently looking for a nice senior dog to rescue.

[@HomerSlated]

All of our dogs were rescues. The first was a working collie sheepdog who wouldn't work, and the farmer abused him and was going to shoot him. My dad found out and literally rescued him. Our next 2 were from shelters. All were wonderful dogs, and it makes me so sad and angry that anyone could abuse and abandon such wonderful dogs.

[@LaurieSorensen]

There are just so many animals being abandoned and surrendered the shelters are like most of us and are working with finite resources. It takes the people who decide to purchase a dog to fix the problem. Do not do it unless you commit to it spay or neuter them. Stop buying dogs when there are so many dogs all great here already that need forever homes 8t is not the shelter 8t is making commitments without understanding them and allowing them to run and if not spayed and neutered their parents! Be responsible for the dogs you take home

[@TracyMomof2]

@@dlite6999 I may be reading incorrectly. In your response, your btw is attributed to my behavior (talking w/out doing)? If you read from my post that I am citing anyone's actions, I did not write as clearly as I believe I did, please accept my apology, was not my intention. Not my place to determine or attribute motive to anyone, few if any can read what's in a heart. I come to this site becos this gentleman and his wife have strength of ten becos their hearts fill with love for animals. Their generous and kind efforts inspire me.

Took my son to shelter to adopt a dog. Of course he wanted the one in the corner. No reaction to us. My son did what you do out of instinct. He feel in love with him and he was so smart and the best dog we ever had! I'm grateful my son saw what no one else did.

[@annemariewatson931]

My best dog was the one in the corner scared out of her mind. Hid under the bench in the meeting room, under a table once home, but followed me to bed in the middle of the night and never left my side after that. Can’t wait to meet her again my Sammy, with my Cinnamon and my many cats

I came across a story yesterday of a shelter in Texas. They stuck an 8 mth old purebred golden retriever puppy in a wheelbarrow and we’re wheeling it down to the “euthanasia room”. Luckily, a woman was there from a rescue, saw the young dog and inquired. The dog was set to be euthanized as it was too scared and they needed to “make space”. 😡 The rescue found an out of state rescue in Colorado to take the pup and he was immediately placed into a foster home. Literally, within a day, complete turnaround. Him being placed in an actual home instead of a huge shelter was key. Dogs in shelters act differently as most are terrified. It’s not a reason to kill them. 😡😡😡. Adopt, don’t shop. You can find purebred dogs in US shelters, especially nowadays.

[@tranell2056]

I saw that as well and it broke my heart. Im glad the dog was rescued in time!

[@bluetickbeagles116]

💯! Adopt, don’t shop!

[@sterling8298]

Every dog owned in my entire life has been from the shelter.😊

[@judiecrawford2588]

I would love to have a golden retriever.

[@ameliab7245]

Just imagine all the noise in these shelters made of cement, echoing all over from everyone & other dogs. No wonder most of the dogs, especially the babies, are shaking out of their minds. The units they are put in remind me of jail cells. Well, we have a thunderstorm right now and even I am startled a few times by the loud thunder. The house shakes a bit too. To kill a little baby dog because it can't handle jail-house noise of a 'shelter' is horrible. They brand children this way when they like quiet & don't fit in the mold too.

[@Brauiz90]

With Logan's story - I remembered a story, where a family went to the shelter to get a new dog and there'd been GSD siblings. The family wanted one of these two, but they didn't want to separate them. That's where they remembered their neighbours loosing their GSD a month ago. The family told the shelter staff to wait a few minutes, gave their neighbours a call and then, 2 hours later, both dogs were adopted to 2 neighbouring families. They even put a gate in their fence so the dogs can vivit each other day by day... When I first heard this one, it made my day.

[@augusthome9860]

That’s fantastic news!

[@vjuschkat]

What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.

[@Dain75]

That is the best story! I’m so glad they kept the dogs together even though they don’t live in the same house. Maybe they get sleepovers sometimes too! When dogs are bonded it is so important to keep them together. People need to remember that animals have thoughts and emotions much the same as people. I have a bearded dragon and even though she’s a reptile, she is very much an individual and intelligent being. My snake has a smaller and different brain than a mammal and even the beardie, but she is very calm and friendly; not all snakes of her species are as mellow. As a baby noodle she liked to take naps in my sweater, surprising a few people when she woke up and put her head out, haha. I saw a video of a cobra actually asking a person for help when it desperately needed water. There must be something more to them than just instinct to go to a person for help.

[@jadecoolness101]

This is probably the best scenario tbh. Dogs from the same litter generally shouldn't be adopted together because most families just can't handle the extra training and care that is needed to prevent co-dependent anxiety-ridden dogs.cone dog is hard enough, teo dogs is even harder, but two siblings is a LOT. The only concern is that, eventually, one of those families may move, thus separating the dogs.... however, hopefully by then, both dogs have a good relationship with their respective human families and have support.

[@carplife5225]

thats a beautiful story !! im sure they will be so happy!!

[@melaniethorpe9246]

Almost 5 years ago, I finally was able to buy a house. After almost a year, we were ready to get a dog. We went to our local shelter and met an active young dog. She was very cute, but just not right for us. The next week, we went again and there was a chocolate lab. He was a great dog, but we were going on vacation the next week and that wouldn't be fair to him. So we said if we came back and he was still there, we would go see him again. When we got back, he was already adopted, but there was another female chocolate lab so the shelter folks asked if we wanted to see her. They brought her out and I knew instantly that she was my dog. She was so skinny, you could clearly see all of her ribs. We went back to get her the next day and she has been my beautiful baby girl ever since. ❤

[@joannagodfrey5111]

chocolate labs are the best, I got Bessie from her breeder almost 12 years ago, she is a great character, loves everyone, has to investigate everything, and her motto is "might be food, don't risk not knowing"

[@MunKeeButt67]

My wife needed a companion dog when I was out, I was hesitant, as we said no more when we lost Jade in 2021. She applied for 7 in 2022 and gave up with no reply. Got a call one day and we went to shelter next day and after 4 visits brought Toby home. He was reactive to men, so I bribed him with ham, and after 4 days he slept on my shoulder. Now, 2 years on, he's family. These dogs need hope, and shelters give them it. Great videos

[@KBjerkness]

I rescued a female Staffordshire terrier from a very overcrowded Arizona shelter. She was picked up from the desert and it was obvious that she had had puppies. The puppies could not be found…….either the puppies were kept to be sold OR they were victims of a desert predator. She was named by the shelter ‘Miss Piggy’ because she just could not get enough to eat. I decided to take her home a year ago…..her name is now Phoebe. She and I are bonded and she is in her forever home.

[@barbwilliams1089]

We lived in Lima Peru for 5 years and rescued a black lab from a market who was covered with mange. He was around 10 and was covered with scars and the vet said he was probably used for fighting. He treated my husband and I as gods. his saviours. It was so rewarding. They love, worship and protect you!

[@falictyelliott8752]

This is SO true ! They know they've been rescued and are SO grateful it's almost heartbreaking (just for receiving the love, care and home that every living creature deserves!) They would give their lives to protect their human/s but not too many humans would do the same for them, aye ? I don't mean to sound alarmist, I'm just truly astonished that there are humans (mammals themselves) who actually don't comprehend the amazing intelligence, personality, sense of humour, sentience, having all the very same emotions as humans/other mammals - that dogs, especially, have, and then some. Dogs are the BEST ❤🐕💯🙂

I've adopted 3 dogs over the last forty years. First was Augie, an Akita/Belgian mix. He lived to be 17. Next, I got Reggie, a big English Lab. He loved it when we retired to the Baja Peninsula. Then, we got Buddy, a campo dog. He just passed away last month. I still miss him so much but I just adopted a San Felipe street dog. I've never had a female but not by choice. I just adopt what shows up. Lucky me. Betty has been through a lot. Looks like a litter or two. She's a little timid but not around me. I am so lucky to have this girl. I wish I could take another dog but I'm a 76 year old crippled person..So, we'll do the best we can with Betty. She's free roaming today. I am so happy!

[@katherinecooper6159]

I have fostered cats and dogs. A female dog (with 3 puppies) had brain damage as a result of being hit on the head. I learned that the organization I had received her from had adopted her to me without my knowledge. She spent the remainder of her life with us. We now have 6 cats, three of whom we adopted and three who adopted us. They live in peaceful harmony.

​​@@rockykanakaI have a boy named Luke who struggles with a terrible social anxiety. He wants people to love him so much that he tries too hard and because he's so big and powerful he hasn't been able to make any friends in his eight years. When I watch these frightened and untrusting dogs climb up into your lap for a snuggle I so wish that you and Luke could spend some time together. I think your patience and compassion would have made you besties in no time. Watching you scoop him into your lap would be a dream come true for us both.

Please tell Logan to hang in there and good for him for getting away from the people who adopted him. Now the door is open for the right family to take him home.😊❤

I adopted a chihuahua yesterday! His name is Freddie, he was named by the shelter. He was a stray that was captured nearly 3 was ago. He is super friendly and smart too. He gets along with his step brother Charlie. It’s like we raised him from a puppy, so well behaved inside the house. I’m sure he got loose and his original family could not afford to bail him out of the shelter. He replaced my 14 yr old chihuahua who passed away 2 weeks ago. We love Freddie so much. I’m happy we decided to adopt a shelter dog. We will take good care of him ❤

It's obvious that a lot of effort was poured into this absolutely phenomenal video. Thank you for what you do for these animals. Thanks to you, millions of people are being moved, motivated & changed for the better after viewing your work. Love can accomplish anything.

[@bethannsiviter6443]

I love your videos. I am a disabled woman with an assistance dog- we are taught to "read" and understand our dogs... I can see them so clearly saying "please be a human who understands me..." when you come into their areas. Thank you for what you do.

[@merriemisfit8406]

Body language can be so fine-tuned and nuanced a form of communication that it makes spoken language seem gross and clumsy in comparison. We owe it to the vast population of non-human animals on the planet, and especially to the ones we share our immediate surroundings with, to make serious efforts to understand their body language. There is great contentment to be found in making the connection that helps somebody understand why their animal is behaving a certain way -- or even in being such a calm presence working in the back yard that squirrels come up to ask for peanuts, robins hop up within mere feet to hunt for worms, and the feral cats learn by observing not to harass either the squirrels or the robins. Some may follow the philosophy of Kant, or Sartre, or Spinoza -- I ended up following the philosophy of Dr. Dolittle!

Thank you so very much for your contribution to the dogs and the shelter. ❤ I have 2 rescue cats who had been abused over 6 years and we have loved them to bits for 5 years and both are continuing to recover,; unfortunately we couldn't save a little puppy as well. I'm 72 years old now and find it more and more difficult to watch in one hit as I hope that each dog finds it's forever home. 💔 😢 So I'll just keep watching 👀 😂in part segments so please keep them coming, Rocky ❤😊

What a humble and kind job you're doing for these unfortunate animals. These videos bring tears to my eyes. My mother in law was an animal activist for 50 years and it was rewarding. My husband and I adopted a dog from her. God bless you and the people who adopt from shelters.

I have 2 cats, love dogs had several over years. I am not looking for a dog since I live in apt in city not dogs allowed. that's OK...I watch your videos because it fills my day with joy, tears of love and appreciation for YOUR work . Just watching their behavior change and the love they show. what an incredible time to spent rather than watching all the evil manmade news in the world, the purity and unconditional love of dogs, cats, all other animals is the best medicine for one's mental health, I just WANT TO CONTRIBUTE A SMALL AMOUNT, being retired with fixed income. How do I do it.? TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION FOR YOUR LOVING WORK. THANK YOU, NINA

[@divotherapy]

Thank you so much for the updates! I'm so happy for them. My heart is breaking for Raymond and the people of Maui with the fires. I'm not in the USA so I couldn't adopt him even if my personal circumstances were favourable for taking in another dog (they're not). I am sending all my love and best wishes to everyone on the island. Keep safe above everything else. Property is replaceable, lives aren't, including those of animals. It would be good if the national government or other states could step in to assist somehow.

My dad was a professional trainer for the US air force, so I grew up with dogs, my dad had a HUGE heart for dogs, so, so do i. It breaks my heart to see how dogs get treated in this country, as wealthy as we are, I wish I had millions of dollars so I could rescue dogs and give them the love they deserve, I own a home on 2 acres and it would be an excellent place, I have 3 rescues already, I wish I could save more. Thank you for what you do.

[@mitochondrion97]

Adopting a dog is such a family thing. I just lost my 15 years old baby and because it has been 15 years with her I don't remember the struggle during the 1st year. I loved my dog insanely as a 11 year old back then but my parents are the ones really caring for her. I remember her being such an energetic puppy (lab husky mix) and my dad is the type of guy that is very "not emotional" and wants good discipline, strong obedience etc (like his childhood dog) but as a puppy, she was mischievous. She chased after everything and tries all ways to escape, of cuz her recall was poor then. One time my dad had enough that she ran off and did not recall, he was adamant that whoever finds her he will pay them to adopt her. I had to pled and cry over the phone to his office to convince my dad to let us take her back. It was such a difficult time the first year esp with puppies with her levels of energy and a husky-i-wanna-do-everything-i-wanna-do mindset. BUT push through that year or two, stick to it, don't give up on them just because of 5, 6, 10, 20, 100xs of inconvenience! To me, a dog is a person. If you birth your child and they have a wacky attitude, you don't throw them away or put it for up adoption, you teach and you love. The 15 years with my dog has been phenomenal. I miss her so much. Please don't give up on them! It's so natural for them to mess up big time, we all do! But they are yours, aren't you suppose to embrace and love unconditionally? 15 years later, your destroyed sofa, chewed shoes, chewed furniture, broken fences, it truly means nothing but a good memory as you lie next to your beautiful wrinkled baby. The only true bad thing about having a dog is when they pass on. But I swear it's worth it. Even if you loved them with your entire heart, you'll always regret not loving them MORE. (disclosure, my dad obviously cared for our dog even tho I know she never matched up to his childhood dog. But our dog sees my dad as the pack leader and become very obedient after 2 years. Its a funny dynamic that she always looks for my dad and the rest of us runs after her with affection)

I can just tell from that reaction Rocky is the same as me "I'll take him. He ain't going on the list. I refuse." if I had the space and the resources I'd empty that kennel and give every dog their own space and a communal plot. And it hurts that I can't. But I love these videos. 💖

I wasn't looking for another dog but I ended up with a special needs rescue after the adopting family rejected her within 2 hours saying she had no quality of life and should be euthanized. 4 years later I have the smartest funniest goofball. Her mobility has improved so much you wouldn't know there is anything wrong with her. It took a good 6 months to get her settled into family life but it was so worth it
