The first time I saw my dog at the shelter I knew she needed out, she just looked defeated and depressed. She had been through multiple homes so even taking her home she didn't get excited. Few days after I got her home she finally opened up and now she's my crazy little love bug. So if you're reading this and don't have a dog yet this is your sign, go get your best friend.

It's all about trust cat's are just the same as dogs when it comes to a new home. They will tread carefully and owners need to accept that thought. For starters you need a peaceful home declutter everything and start afresh. No screaming excitable kids loud TV or music blasting. This is the opportunity to bond. But a lot of people don't get the attention and basically give up. I've had several dogs over the years and they've all came from rescue shelters. They've had their ups and downs but pulled through (Takes Time) but the rewards will flood in 🐩🐕

Ive never seen that before, letting the dog watch his family leave when being surrendered-heartbreaking but I get it. We’re so lucky dogs are such forgiving and loving creatures and these dogs are so lucky to have places like this. Cheers to those who do such selfless work.

[@tomferguson9250]

It reminds me of when people talk about having to put their pet to sleep, but not wanting to be there. Being with your pet during those last moments is HUGE for them & can lower their fear/anxiety, people don't realize how scared they are in those situations. I've had those bittersweet moments more than I can count & it's always worth it to be there in the end with them, even if it hurts.

[@michelcromwell321]

Also, when I have to euthanize a pet, I take my other pets with me. I put my deceased pet on the floor at the vet and let my other pets walk around him/her and they just know their friend is gone. Before I started doing that, my live pet at home would wander around looking for their friend, my cats would go from room to room crying for their friend, my dogs seeming depressed, lost. Also, I always go in and hold my pet that is being euthanized, telling them I love them over and over. It rips my heart out, but it's not about me at that time, it's about them. I just don't want them to be scared or alone. I also do the same with my old goats that have died, or had to be euthanized. I leave the deceased goat in the pasture before burying them to let the herd that has grown up together walk around their friend. They sniff at and walk around their friend and seem to realize their friend is dead, and adapt better. The hardest part of rescuing, raising and loving our companion animals, is end of life. I pray for mine and tell them they're going to their forever home, I love them, and will see them again...all the while crying like a baby. 😢

You can't view everyone who surrenders as heartless because you don't know the full story. However, for those who willingly go out of their way to adopt and raise a dog and then later decide it was too hard, I can't accept that.

I adopted my baby boy when he was 2 1/2 years old. The staff at that humane society absolutely lit up with joy when they found out that he was going to his forever home with my husband and I. Then staff then explained that he had been surrendered there twice. First time as a pup from Tennessee and the second time when this old lady had abused, (at the time) her adult daughter’s dog and forced her to give him up after she threw a shoe at him and he snapped his teeth at her as a warning. When I found him in that kennel, he looked like his spirit had been beaten down. He was very timid and shy when he came to the kennel door to greet me. He then sniffed my hand and went back to lay on his cot. However, the moment we brought him out for a private meet and greet he was sooo excited that his whole body was wiggling. He immediately grabbed a toy and started playing with everyone in the room. He stole my heart that day and ultimately, saved my life. I’ve struggled a lot with depression and had just been released after being hospitalized for a week. I knew he needed me to love him and he knew that I needed him as a companion to love me in return. Four years later, we are going on our first family vacation together. I’m so excited as it’ll also be his 6th birthday. I love him more than anything in the world and am grateful for each simple, little moment I have with him. Truly, he’s my best friend. Wish I could share a picture here but I guess it’s his story that counts. So blessed to have him as my baby. ❤❤❤

I volunteered at a shelter when I first retired and watching an animal get adopted is the best feeling you’ll ever have. This brought tears to my eyes. This guy is right about watching a dog watch his people walk away. The worst was when an owner died and the family didn’t want the animal. Usually that was the only home the dog or cat had ever had and they had NO idea why they were being left. Seeing that happen made me decide I would adopt senior dogs who had lost their owner. Last year I adopted two miniature dachshunds who were 17 and 18 yrs old. Every time I leave the house they’re sure I’m never coming back and it’s so sad to see that. They’re so excited when I return and I hope soon they will forget that terror of losing their former owner. I say all that to say Adopt from a shelter! And if you can, adopt a senior dog or cat. They still have a lot of love to give.

The way we live and the system we live in feeds off of consumerism, and treating everything and everyone like an expendable item on the shelf. A lot of animals are even smarter than most toddlers (not punching down on kids). It's just that a lot of animals instinctually have their own way of life, so putting them in a man-made house, expecting them to live up to human standards while putting them in that situation is ridiculous. A lot of people really have the mindset that everything and everyone exists for their own entertainment and amusement. Trauma be damned.

I always remember when my dog got surrendered by his previous owner to us. Given away the 3rd time within 3 years. He was so confused, heartbroken and sad. Hardly ever i have seen so much sadness in a beeings eyes. Within 10 days of fostering him, it was clear to me, he belongs to me. That was 13 years ago. Since then he was with me and he was the best dog ever. My little darling died in my arms a few months ago at the age of 16. i cant express how much i miss him.

[@laughingcorrpseholly4136]

Yeah tbh if I worked at a shelter I would probably yell at every family who came in and surrendered their pet 🤷‍♀️ I just am not the type to give up on my family just because it gets a little hard for me. I get it everyone’s life is different and maybe they don’t have the funds to take care of them anymore but it would still be heartbreaking to watch. It’s always been my dream to one day own a huge house with huge land and provide a home for as many animals as possible. 😢 i rescued a cat recently that showed up at my house one night during hurricane Ian in October… and i found his owner he had been missing from her for a year and a half!!! I found her but the saddest part was finally getting her to respond to me and her not wanting him anymore 😭😭😭 it broke my heart. We already had two rescue cats and recently adopted a puppy so it was hard taking in another animal especially when my other two cats don’t get along with each other 😅but we are making it work because he is such a sweetheart such a wonderful cat and he deserves love and a home. I have been trying to find a family that might want him for months but no one is taking me up on it 😢 he wasn’t fixed either but someone did help me and donated some money to get him fixed so that’s what we’re going to do we have an appointment set up for tomorrow morning to finally get him fixed and he might have more offers for homes and if not then he at least will always have a home here❤❤

My dog was found in the desert. She had been dumped and was literally skin and bones. Even when we took her home all her ribs and vertebrae were visible under her coat. She was at the point of going to a foster but we adopted her instead. We’ve had her for 10 years now, she still doesn’t want to get in the car. I think she’s afraid of being dumped again. Once in the car she wants to sit right up on you. That’s a bit difficult as she’s 90 lbs now. Either a Belgian Malinios or a shepherd mix. She’s a adhd dog for sure. Probably whoever dumped her couldn’t handle her enthusiasm for life. She’s living her best life now.

Not to twist the knife, but your comment reminded me of a post I saw, where a vet encouraged pet owners to be there for their pet if they have to be put down. Pet owners would leave the room, unable to deal with the emotion of their pet dying. But as the vet points out, you were the pet's whole world. And the last thing they should feel before the end shouldn't be confusion and fear, seeing their owner leave and being in a room full of strangers.

The families/individuals that surrendered/abandoned/abused pets go to, are not necessarily “better” families/individuals imho! It’s too easy to stigmatize/demonize anyone who surrenders or abandons/abuses a pet. The same with children! I agree that for the animal or child, the experience is potentially harmful, hurtful, sometimes permanently damaging. And I think it is absolutely unequivocally unacceptable. But stigmatizing/demonizing has not yet helped to prevent this process. We live in a culture that does not think or act *preventively*! That’s what needs to change. And changing one’s own attitude, one’s own community, culture, is much harder work than simply judging, punishing, and rejecting someone who is an ongoing reflection of the culture.

I lost my best friend Buster in 2017 . Had him since 2005 and you are right we can never forget them . And if there is a Heaven but no Rainbow Bridge then I don't want to go to Heaven .

It's so hard to let them go I've had to let a few fur babies go and it hurts so much but I will always get another because I love them so much ❤️ so sorry for your loss

[@shimonbiton2163]

lost 2 of my dogs (1993-2007, 2002-2012) It took me years to recover and be ready for another dog but I now have a GSD-Malinois cross - is 2 y.o (almost) acts the same way you described. when i park my car he is already in the balcony with his head popping above the wall, crying with little barks of excitement, uncontrollable spins and licks... he has black and gold fur with distinct golden eyebrows which grant him "SUPER PUPPY EYES" making it almost impossible to get fake-angry at him if he does something stupid. i know he will too pass one day - but while i care for him, i know he is happy and i am happy.

[@Bl913]

Bless this guy. He's there for those poor lonely animals. It breaks my heart to see them stand at that window wondering why their family left them. Animals give us unconditional love and they deserve every bit of it back.

[@redskinlgnd]

I could never do this to any of my dogs! 😭 Watching their reactions made this grown man cry like a baby it is beyond heart breaking I really have no idea how pet owners could do that to them.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

@@redskinlgnd you and me both! My little girl and I fought so hard to stay together and she gave me almost 17 wonderful years before her little body finally gave up the fight. I think having to give her up before she died would have absolutely been the death of me based on how hard it was to say good bye at the end.

[@BigIronBite]

@@redskinlgnd this is why dogs are better than cats love is conditional

[@ohsheet9240]

@Tanjiro Kamado You realize that cats also provide unconditional love, right?

[@melissakyle570]

😭 thinking about all the unwanted pets sitting alone and wondering "why" they were abandoned or unloved... So sad, because they LOVED the ones who didn't love them back. Their love is unconditional.

[@helenemalenfant5435]

This guy deserves so many thank you’s. If only we had many many more like him in this world. His insight that they need to see their families leave…my heart cracking in 2! Sending out so much love to him and all of the staff at this rescue. Thank you for your amazing work.

[@lobstershrimp]

8 dogs throughout my life and to me they understand EVERYTHING! They know how you feel in so many ways. I've always spoken to them and still do. There are no words that express the joy they bring by simply existing. I smile and my heart melts every single time. I could never imagine life without them. To me, dogs are heaven sent and the greatest blessing.

[@mindylee1520]

My boy is still learning English but he knows so much! Dogs are so smart. My cat of 17 years knew full on English 😆 I miss her!

[@anonydun82fgoog35]

Whoever said that dogs can't talk never really paid much attention to them. Between the sighs, the pointed looks and the nose pokes, dogs have no trouble letting us know what they want. The best thing is when there is trouble (someone made a mess or something hurts) they will come and find you right away. They know you can "fix it". That's trust.

[@Strayhaur48]

8?! The only thing cle to having a pet was a snail

[@giacomoneri1782]

​@@anonydun82fgoog35 You can definitely see they can communicate in some form of language. I have a cat who hangs out with strays, even got a family outside. He trusts me, but his lady did not. At some point he was coming near me and calling the other cats, and it was very clear he was trying to tell his family i was safe. He came to me, called his GF, went to her and pointed at me, came back to me and called her again. She's a stray and didn't trust me anyway, but he made a lot of effort trying to get her comfortable around me.

[@conybrown5371]

Thank you for rescuing and finding homes to make these dogs to be able to love a caring family.

[@jaymitch2187]

While growing up, I used to not like dogs. I was afraid to get bitten. After I babysat my friend's lab, I overcame the fear. Years later, about a year ago, I went to adopt one at the humane society. She was a seven months old pit mixed with terrier. I grew to love dogs more and more. When I'm away from home for a long period of time for work, I miss her. Every time I come home, she is so excited to see me. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt video. I wish that those who wish to adopt one could adopt one. I completely understand that life circumstances can prevent us from having a pet. 😢

[@sandras2624]

I’m not crying, you are. Those dogs knows what that little orange note means 😭😭😭😭

[@dvb8637]

Ofcourse they dont know that smh. Stop using human traits in dogs. Thats not how dogs are nor are wired smh. These dogs get so exited cuz of how the guy reacts. Its common sense tho.

[@vickimurphy5183]

I believe if Pavlov’s dog can create saliva with a bell this guy can create excitement with a note. They are very observant. I’m sure they don’t know that means they are going home with someone they met but they know it’s an exciting thing to get and you get to leave after.

[@TheStarscream80]

Sry but you are really dumb if you think the dog understand what the notes mean. They are just excited that a human is approaching since they are bored in the cages. That or they think they will be fed.

[@dizzyheads]

People being like "No they don't know" But let's be honest, They do know something else because the guy makes it exciting

[@methemonkeyking]

@tradde11 : I love my wife and think of her often when I’m away at work, but I think about my dog and can’t wait to go home to have him on my lap. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives.

[@iiemo_qxt5238]

@tradde11 oh, i know! :)

[@hehehebop1916]

@tradde11 I swear to god people should get licenses or smething to have a dog. This sort of abandonment is ridiculous, and it's so much more serious where I am from. People just get a puppy and then trash them when they grow up, because their 'cute' puppy phase is over, or they are a burden. How the fuck can you not predict the sense of responsibility of having a dog, if you can't deal with it, which is quite obvious if you cannot, then don't get one and just go to a dog park every now and then instead of owning and abandoning one. It's so infuriating to see these poor doggos
