i am so glad that here in germany there is a no kill policy. if the dog does not get adopted they live out their life at the shelter.

I met John two days ago in the subway. He was playing a really wonderful song and i just had to ask what it was! (Barrington levi 21 girl salute) he told me to take time to watch this video too, we had a good chat & wouldn’t you know it, his dog is now 18 years old. Shes in a stroller with a blankey. I love this video and i love John and i hope to see him again, a genuinely sweet human with a big heart.

This is incredible I have rescued pit bulls over 20yrs and my baby is Jentezen we lovingly call Gumpie he had 2 terminal cancers and survived both his right leg was amputated completely and by Gods grace he is thriving almost 3 yrs later my Gumpie was there when my dad’s life was taken in April...Gump was a gift from dad at 6 weeks old Gumpie is now 10 and he saves me everyday I would like to contribute to what you’re doing I’m an RN working on my NP if you could send a link or maybe I’ll just look you up id like to help We have nothing available where I live for this cause I’d like to see it change I worked for my vet before I was a nurse I know there are people willing to do this it’s also needed for people who are low income and are alone I have been blessed that I could afford Gumps treatment or he would not be here it’s always weighed heavily on my mind bc everyone does deserve a companionship that only animals can give ❤️

[@saneeshj8]

Find me a human who loves me like a dog. May be you should rephrase it to, find me a human who is obedient like a dog. Obedience != Love.
