go vegan

[@Schrodinger_]

This is what all dairy cows go through, so you know. They get artificially inseminated against their will every 9 months so that they can get pregnant and produce milk, and their babies are taken away to either be killed, sold as veal, or raised as another dairy cow. This is done over and over until the female is physically spent and cannot produce enough milk to be economical, and is then sent to the slaughterhouse. You don't need dairy, and you don't need to pay people to put cows through this just so you can have some "tasty cheese".

[@chiannsmith6803]

[@sharonanderson3851]

Me too. I do not understand how a person can take in a dog and create a bond of trust....and then shuttle them off to someone else. I could not do that.

[@ar8172]

@@sharonanderson3851 I understand what you mean. The fostered dogs love their foster parents and would for sure love to stay there forever. But not everyone can foster a dog - and most dog foster parents can't have 10 or more dogs at the same time. If they'd keep all their foster dogs, no other dog could be fostered and a lot of dogs would never get the chance for a good home. So to be able to help as many dogs as possible, doggy foster parents have to find new good homes for their foster dogs. But I'm sure Jill and the other foster parents make sure that their foster dogs future homes are great and their new parents will love them and treat them well. So even though the moving from the foster home to the forever home will be hard at first, the dog will be loved and well cared for in their new home and will bond with their new people and be happy again :) And the foster parents can help another dog by fostering him or her :) Foster homes are preparing the dogs for their forever homes by helping them to overcome their anxieties and by getting to know them so that they can find a suitable forever home.

[@ucsbgirlie18]

​@@sharonanderson3851 There aren't a lot of people who have the time and training to foster dogs like this. Many people wouldn't know what to do or wouldn't have the time to help a dog like this because of their work or family responsibilities. Once a dog is socialized to trust humans, they usually do pretty well adjusting to their next home. Giving the dog away to another home might be a little sad, but it clears up the foster parent to take in more animals in the future.

I was going to say the same thing. I think she would be an amazing foster mom. She’s such a beautiful dog.

My husband was called to a home that had flooded. When he got there he found many dogs in the basement in crates. Some had drown unfortunately, but he grabbed two that were alive and brought them home. For months they would not leave our basement. They'd hide in dark corners. They were absolutely terrified of the outdoors. My daughter brought her little dog, Sophie, to stay with us and it turned out to be exactly what was needed. Sophie seemed to know that our two dogs needed therapy and she showed them that they were safe with us and that it was safe to go outside. Dogs are great!

[@e.erin.]

I can’t imagine how hard that was for him to discover. A basement full of dogs in crates. How awful that must have been. Especially for those who drowned because they were unable to get out of their crates. I try really hard to focus on people like you and your husband. If I don’t, the anger and disgust I feel for the monsters who caged those poor dogs almost becomes too much to handle. I tend to internalize and over-feel everything. Thank you for rescuing.

Why aren't puppy Mills outlawed? They are nothing but animal cruelty commercialized. RISE UP ANIMAL LOVERs !!

[@shantihstar]

She is the sweetest, most beautiful dog. I can’t even imagine someone being that heartless… I have no words for those “people” other than they should be banished from existence. She is all love and I’m so grateful she was rescued 💖

[@rileyward8112]

That was heartbreaking I'm so glad she was rescued the best part of the video was her sitting in the pile of toys looking happy thank you for helping her

[@a.m.8763]

This is terribly heartbreaking! 😢😱 She clearly misses ALL of her babies, which traumatized her AND was also clearly mistreated. Devastating. I hope her former Owner was charged with Animal Abuse.

[@Mary-si5zh]

Glad she got a chance to really enjoy life.😊

[@erinhall2001]

I am so glad that YOU were the one that rescued her. You are an extremely kind person. And now Eleanor has found her loving home after so much trauma. Thank you.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I'm so grateful Eleanor has a loving home now! ♥️🐶♥️

[@trishradloff8817]

Does she have a home or is she still being Fostered?

[@garethhacker7425]

The moment she wags her tail and the way she trots is so precious, what a beautiful soul she is ❤️

[@katelyn888]

God bless all those you care for neglected animals!! I'm so thankful there are so many out there♡

[@juanitaross5492]

Puppy mills should be illegal everywhere. I don't understand why our government let's this go on. It is beyond cruelty to animals. Thank you for rescuing her.

[@sharonkingwell6914]

Eleanor is such a precious girl! To see her sitting surrounded by all her lovely toys and smiling was such a good picture, I am so happy that she is now enjoying life after her really rotten start

[@willettedavis3062]

Golden retriever, best dog ever!

[@murleyw]

AHH, she”s such a cutie pie! I’m glad she has recovered and is now happy! 😁

[@kpfaarokh8640]

May kind and noble souls like you be blessed by God Almighty for your kindness and love that you have for your pet dog 🐕. She is such sweet loving girl, who had a tormented past.

[@anonymoususer435]

@Ben Lurie you are a lonely bored kid aren't you? Sitting home by yourself trolling the comments section of dog videos. Get a girlfriend.

[@anonymoususer435]

@N yeah cause girls probably don't have feelings either

[@forresthawkins6621]

God bless both you and Eleanor. Thankyou for caring for her.the goodness in both if you radiate to the world

[@bettyfeliciano7322]

Oh my goodness. Poor Elanor. Caged up & her precious babies taken away from her. Thank you so much for saving her. I was Soo happy to see her come running around from room to room! I know she was shouting "Oh hallelujah! I'm free! Free to run, jump, play!". Please give her a hug for me! Blessings! ❤️🙏😊

[@eroche913]

Bless everyone who had a hand in making this beautiful girl feel some peace and happiness.

[@nerisawilliams4021]

Thankyou for rescuing her, how anyone can treat a gentle soul like that is so wrong. Thank God she can see humans in a diffrent light & live the rest of her life waging her tail 😃🐶👍

[@paulbrady868]

This poor child is a pure creation of God and should never have been exposed to human cruelty. On the other hand - here we also see the capabilities of humanity in the actions of this beautiful woman. It's really difficult to process feelings of anger and joy when they are both occurring simultaneously.

[@WhistleAndSnap]

Ya know, I don't believe in God, but you put that beautifully. Well done.

[@catoftroon]

It's inconceivable to me that puppy mills still exist. Every one, everywhere, should be shut down.

[@Choujifangirl]

I wholeheartedly agree

[@maryhiggins6783]

As long as people still demand pure bred dogs... It's disgusting.

[@Schrodinger_]

Agreed. Any institution that artificially inseminates mothers over and over again, just to rip their babies away for profit is essentially a perpetual torture machine. All puppy mills and dairy farms must cease to exist, and we should stop helping them exist by paying for their products.

[@FactStorm]

Exactly..god, I hate humanity

[@liagluch868]

It’s so horrible what puppy mills do. Thank u so much for helping and caring for her

[@gfreya9450]

I'm so happy that Eleanor has finally found her loving forever home❤️🙏~

[@shanicebuckery8445]

To see her carry her baby and she hid her baby in the grass just got so emotional and made the tears flow. To see such a beautiful sweet golden retriever coward in the corner and to afraid to make eye contact was even more disturbing. But after the storm there's always a 🌈....I hope whoever watches this amazing dog and this amazing woman who took the time effort and patience to give this amazing animal a second chance at life will never ever ever ever ever have a chance to experience what it's like to enjoy having a dog

[@anon_ya]

These stories make me cry every time. She is a beautiful dog and clearly a loving companion. Love this story, I’m inspired to adopt a rescue dog.

[@bradvandongen2901]

What a heart warming story. When she came out that morning all happy and excited to be alive, that almost made me cry (I am a 45 year old man). Thankyou for giving this gorgeous girl a life.😁🇦🇺

[@michael85225]

What a beautiful girl, I'm so glad she was saved and given another chance.

[@spotlightstar]

We don’t deserve dogs 😭😭😭 what a precious little soul. Her foster mom is wonderful, too!

[@TruthSeeker54]

She didn’t know how to be a dog and she had lost so many of her babies, I think she was just really sad and needed to be able to work through those feelings and maternal instincts.

[@dianejohnson9904]

How sweet! I hope when she gets adopted, she can take all of her “babies” with her.

[@TempestIsa]

You are her special person that brought her back to life!❤

[@dertreffer]

it was so heartbreaking at the start to see her griefing about her stolen (yes, thats the right and fitting term in this case) pups, but so damn heartwarming to see where she ended with an adorable, loveable and patient woman

[@investigator77]

She is so beautiful. People like this lady are doing work that is so rewarding, and she'll be blessed her whole life. I love that she knew just how to help Eleanor.

[@Dawn-i5o]

So glad you were there to help her. Many blessings to you. For your wonderful care and love.😊

[@notouchythechichis]

I’ve got to stop clicking on these when I’m in the middle of putting on my makeup because the tears wash it all off. Thank you soo much for giving Eleanor her best life. I believe there is a special place in Heaven reserved for animal rescuers. Animal rescuers are the best people in the world in my book. ❤️

[@thebadguy9058]

I’ll never understand how people can be so cruel to a dog.

[@drawingangel2]

Money is the root of all evil...

[@Robin_In_CA]

Jill, you are such a kind person. I’m so happy to see Eleanor doing so well.

[@msa0782]

It’s amazing how she transformed into such a happy dog. Just warms my heart. So happy for you and Eleanor!

[@MegaBlackley]

That woman is an angel caring for the abused like that. Makes my heart ache.

[@rosemarymonty5399]

Such a beautiful lady.

[@thejaxter6384]

Poor little soul. I can't begin to imagine what her life had been like. Some people have no shame. Thank you to my fellow animal lovers for taking care of all sad and badly treated animals.

[@zimnizzle]

Oh, Eleanor! What a beautiful girl. She deserves all the happiness. 😊 It warms my heart to see her getting what she has deserved her whole life (finally) thanks to you.

[@josier521]

She deserves any toy she wants any time of day…any week…any month..any year..any time !!! EVER!

[@chrissyknowsitall5170]

This is completely heartbreaking!!
