Maybe it is not "Nobody is coming for him", but more like He was waiting for you, the right one to help him.

Giving an old shelter dog a golden basket at the end of its life is so rewarding. My ex-wife and I adopted a senior dog, found on the street, totally neglected, full of tumors, at age 14, in January 2022. We had to put him down two weeks ago, but my god, what a blessing he was in my life. Total dedication, filled with love and joy, he gave to us for almost 1,5 years. I recommend everyone adopt these beautiful creatures at the end of their lives. They might live 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year, but it doesn't matter. They go to the rainbow, knowing they're special to someone. Dogs are amazing.

[@carlberg7503]

Senior dog with cancer and three incredibly kind humans = a story that renews your faith in life. Thanks.

[@annjohnson8437]

Yes! We all need to strive to be more like them!!! ❤

[@kathykay6602]

So true!

Adopting a Senior is so rewarding. To anyone reading this, I promise you won’t regret it ❤

[@claudidadi6633]

Agreed!

I don't.😃. Have senior rescue rott. Thunder.🦴❣️

[@aexley111]

I’m only in my 30’s but fell in love with my first dog Buddy who happened to be a 10 year old 110lb black lab and fell head over heels in love! I only had him 18 months but immediately decided I wanted to foster or adopt another senior. And Lady came into my life. 12 year old Pitt mix. I got 2 1/2 years with her thankfully. It’s such a beautiful thing. I can’t wait to meet my next senior love!

[@ericparisien3051]

It takes special kind of people to adopt seniors, hats off to them!

[@cynthiaostermiller1967]

You are so right. I adopted a senior dog six years ago and those six years have been the best years of my 71 years on this planet. I'm not exaggerating. She's 17 years old, acts like she's 8, and makes me laugh all day every day. What a blessing she has been. She's way better than anti-depressants.

[@pawshands9706]

True empathy is rare. This woman has it as a gift.

[@clairewheeler2937]

This lady deserves so much praise. Not only for the fact that she drives around these rescues but also because it must pull her heart into so many pieces to see all of those dogs desperately begging for love and affection and a home to call their own.

[@MadsWorld34]

it dont matter if JR lives 2 more years or 2 more days. he's happy and knows what love is again. and thats all that matters. you did good by JR and may God bless you for it.

[@jarrodhall3686]

Well, I’m sure it matters a bit. Lol

[@mirjammaver8670]

He died a month ago, after 4 months living a happy life with his new mum ❤

[@ursulamullikin4723]

@@mirjammaver8670 so why do I get all teary eyes, I was hoping you had a little while longer at least he was happy

[@MrEric2cu]

You are a special woman. The only downside is you always make this grown man cry watching your journey.

No gonna lie. I shed a wee tear at this story. Kudos to all involved in giving this dog a good life ❤

The dodo is spoiling us two PITTIE videos in one day?! Pitties will ALWAYS be my FAVORITE breed because they’re so misunderstood

[@jschapp77]

My girlfriend’s senior pittie just passed. It was gut wrenching. She was the sweetest dog. But there are so many good memories, and lots of photos, and videos, but Roxie will be dearly missed.

[@konversion]

Elli is a flipping saint. Her work with Chimbey several years back is what made me realize that there are still good people in this world and Elli is one of them. Thank you for everything you do, Elli ❤

[@Imapeach1]

I REMEMBER CHIMBY...HIS STORY BROKE MY HEART...WHAT A CHAMP!

[@kristenwolfe5272]

"he walked onto the tarmac like he had flown private before" 😂 ❤ awe what a beautiful story!!

[@kimsatter1785]

I loved that part, too!

[@thelovelyone1582]

Cuz he was so well-behaved❤

[@nataliaschuler3949]

Yeah my eyes are sweating. Seeing the difference in quality of life that a loving home was able to provide really hits the nail on the head

[@HannaBenana]

I wish every dog had this opportunity, and it was so good to see him enjoy his golden years.

[@marymatulaitis5903]

Omg I am crying, and I have a cold. I totally can't breathe. I never cry. This was beautiful and renewed my faith in people!

[@eccosselion]

What kind and beautiful gesture, there is still compasion and hope for humanity.

[@TheCathmac]

All these stories renew my faith in life. There are still wonderful humans out there.

[@hdiponzio]

Yes! I exclusively adopt senior dogs. Have done 2 so far. My latest is deaf and has an enlarged heart. I wish I could do a pitty, but I have to do smaller dogs. What a beautiful story!

[@Sistafeed]

You made my day today :)

[@amberstamp1965]

You're truly a great soul❤

[@hdiponzio]

Well, thank you for that, but honestly I think there's a lot of us out there who do this. And the only hard part is that you only have them for a short time.

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

a lot of people are not willing to be as physically active as they should be to own young dogs, and some of them also are not willing to make an effort to train a dog, but still insist on getting puppies. more people should adopt old dogs, they would be a better fit for many.

[@hdiponzio]

@@Ass_of_Amalek we do it because my mom is 89 and it's good companionship for her. But I am still active and walk our dogs twice a day.

[@nedsantos1415]

They're only senior in age....many of them are puppies in heart filled with gratitude.

[@sharonkingwell6914]

So happy for this beautiful little boy, finally his very own home and mama, he so deserves this thank you for saving this precious little soul and god bless you

[@Stormblast729]

I raised two dogs into their senior years and they were loved to the very end. It was very heartbreaking to say goodbye. But that didn't stop me from getting another dog to make part of the family and spoil rotten.

[@jamiemiller9268]

May God bless all you AMAZING dog lovers out there!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@janicecoleman2755]

Senior dogs are awesome. They have so much love to give in a very short time. I adopted a 14 year old Westie from the shelter. He was loved and cared for in my home. He didn’t have to pass away in a shelter. We had him for two years and three months. He passed away in his loving home. 🌈

[@topcatwarrior]

I just love it when a plan comes together. This lovely senior soul has hit the jackpot and I couldn’t be happier. I have three senior dogs at this time, and every moment is a gift of pure love and delight. Way to go, JR, may you have many, many days of joy and good health with your forever family.💕🐾🐾

[@jessicahandelman1993]

could my heart explode any more?! SENIOR ANIMALS NEED US!!!!!

[@mothman1984]

This lady is an angel 💫 Thanks for all the amazing work you do 👍💙🐕

[@dad4ever-c90]

These people are truly ANGELS on Earth! Most folks only want a young animal with no defects. (And they do need homes too.) But choosing an older one that has health problems is granting them the life that everyone deserves. And, in return, they give us more love than almost any human could.

[@jessedavis1591]

JR deserved a family as nice and special as that, and any dog that is a senior, a pittie, and handicapped do, too. ☺

[@madjack8893]

Thank you Nick and girlfriend for stepping up. A great group of humans all around 💖

[@kenzomountain-oq8wk]

Thank you endlessly for saving him

[@goosefarm3602]

thank gawd for all the angels who helped that preicous dog

[@Nannie4334]

So glad he was able to live out his life with love, affection and etc......... Kudos to the ones who helped him find a forever home!

[@monkeylover1446]

Senior dogs can give so much love. I had one, she was blind and deef . He lived for four mouth. He taught me how to care for dogs. Which I use today

[@francescacastiglione7094]

My beloved Buddy was at the East Valley LA shelter. I stepped up and got him as a foster when he was 4 months old and riddled with general demodex. I got him just in time and I failed as a foster (by choice). My Buddy was my soul companion for almost 14 years!❤

[@homewithemma42]

Well done! Nobody wanted my dog except for me. Simply the best ❤

[@Camille719]

What a beautiful story. JR looks healthy and happy. Thank you for saving his life.

[@charlescrone3856]

I was crying so hard whole watching this video. JR is just like my boy Donut, an elderly, sickly pit bull who languished away in the shelter for a year before I adopted him. They told us he only had a month to live, but he ended up giving us 10 before we had to put him to sleep last October. Watching this reminded me just how much I loved him and I'm so happy that JR could find a loving home like Donut did. God bless you all for giving him the loving home he deserved.

[@kenrosen811]

God Damn onions! I have a 16 year old pittie who is slowing down. She is such a cuddler and a love. These videos are so awesome. Thanks for saving JR

[@oswaldoreyes9066]

It is stories like Jr's that prove that their are still very good people in this world.

[@missyg8221]

A fantastic happy ending 🧡💛💚 brings a few tears as well

[@Vince-I-Am]

Of late, I have been noticing special animals like JR by just looking at their eyes. I can't explain what it is but it can be overwhelming looking into their eyes for me. Especially the ones the owners broke their hearts by leaving them to suffer.

[@SwiftyFerret]

It's amazing how much love and care can help both humans and canines to be their best.

[@deborahspivak1978]

I’m crying so hard my sunscreen is burning! What a beautiful life for a well deserving pup! What a beautiful team of genuine heroes that made this happen!! Thanks a million ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

A special shout out too to the young man who flew JR on that leg of the journey ❤.

[@HoneysuckleRoseSmelledGreat]

God Bless you for saving that 4-legged angel.

[@user-gu1jk4qn6b]

It's not so much us adopters, but the people behind the scenes that deserve all the accolades. They scour the shelters and see what we don't. When we make contact, they somehow find a way to make everyone's dreams come true, and pass our best friends to us, and hope it works out. I honestly don't understand how they do what they do. I'm just extremely grateful, each time I look at my "babies", that rescuers do what they do, so I have the happiness I've been gifted.

[@jeanbrown4288]

Nice to know there are so many many guardian angels out there when they are needed the most!! Ty!! From the bottom of my ♥ heart!!!

You don't know how many times I've wished to win a lottery to be able to make a lifelong dream come true. I want to buy hundreds of acres of land with a home on it (or build one) and jus rescue, rescue, rescue! Dogs, cats, horses, farm animals.... seniors, special needs, whatever! I'd have vet staff available and of course people to help with all the animals. I know it would be hard work...sometimes very sad...but oh so worth it. Every animal deserves to feel love, kindness and empathy. I'm so grateful for every person out there that helps these beautiful souls.
