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

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

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

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

[@claudidadi6633]

Agreed!

[@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.

[@marka.2484]

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.

[@pawshands9706]

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

[@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

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@MrEric2cu]

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

[@jamiemiller9268]

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

[@mothman1984]

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

[@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.💕🐾🐾

[@jessedavis1591]

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

[@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.

[@nedsantos1415]

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

[@jessicahandelman1993]

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

[@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.

[@missyg8221]

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

[@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!

[@HannaBenana]

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

[@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

[@eccosselion]

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

[@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 ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@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.

[@sharonsolana]

I salute the pilot! Great job, and thank you!

[@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!❤

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

You are an Angel on earth. Animals are so pure. They just give with all of their being. Because of you, he will live his days happy, and loved. Well, now I’m just a weepy mess. Oh well, who cares. I got my senior pittie, and I’m going to go hold him now. ADOPT DON’T SHOP!!!!

Ahhh My Gosh!!! I cried like a baby watching this. God bless this Angel for finding a home for him. I am so glad Baby found a home. I’ve adopted and rescued quite a few Dog’s and I don’t regret my decision to keep them. Furbabies have my heart. I wish I could rescue every abandoned furbaby out there. . 🙆🏽‍♀️🫶🏽🐾👑✊🏽💋

[@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.

[@ZERO_O7X]

Those ears! 😊 I'm glad she adopted this pup, older dogs get overlooked at adoption centers and every pet deserves a good home and to live out the rest of their lives in comfort. ❤

[@madjack8893]

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

[@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. 🌈

Max ❤️✨️ was my sisters fur baby. She reacued him from people who beat him. He was a big dog that looked like a pit bull (we were never sure) but had to wear a muzzle around other dogs. He was afraid. In his last years he began to not only accept other dogs, but learn to love them. He had a lot of love ❤️ I couldn't have a bad day around him, thank you Max 😇 you will always be our angel, along with my baby Jack ❤️

Whenever I am convinced that the world is a bad, tough, unforgiving place, I remember that there are amazing, selfless, wonderful people in this world who help to make it better for everyone... Dogs included! Thank you for saving this awesom doggy and all the others you have already saved, and the ones you will save in the future!! You are amazing people. Thank you!

[@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.

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.
