Anatolian shepherd must be one of the most underrated dog breeds, they are really smart and just love people. They want to have a home and protect their family, it is literally coded into their genes. However it is true that they don't get along well with other pets and animals because of this because they see them as dangerous against their family. But you could train them to accept those pets as a part of family as well without much trouble. The most important thing with Anatolian shepherds and similar breeds you must make them understand you are the leader of herd not them then they wouldn't attack anything at all unless they are provoked badly..

[@reesemorgan2259]

@@mikeh2129 Learn from my mistakes: Vet fees. My cat insurance is £65 per month. I can't really afford it - but I've only one pet to be responsible for, so I manage to pay it. Most pet insurers won't pay out for Dental work. Especially for elderly cats. Best part of a grand spent a couple of years ago for teeth removal / cleaning. Insurers would not pay out. My mother bailed me out financially. My point is, even if the dog in this clip _did_ get along with the other pets - the cost of caring for him throughout his lifetime was probably prohibitive. The kindest thing to do was to home him with somebody who could afford to keep him. The lady in this clip did the right thing, a thousand percent.

There's NO shame in rehoming an animal that isn't happy with their current environment. This dog was happier in a single-dog household and you found him one. Kudos. A rescue home doesn't always mean a forever home; sometimes it means finding that forever home for them. In the mean-time, they just sought out help and you provided it. Much respect.

[@EveryDayPray]

Exactly.

[@Reptile_Gecko]

Exactly this is something I'd love to do, which is why I dream of living more rurally means I am not limited on what I can rescue by what the neighbours are willing to put up with and sadly a lot of rehoming sites and shelters get so full round holidays it's horrible that a lot of people can't respect and take on the responsibility they chose to bring into their home leading to shelters filling up, taking on animal they normally wouldn't deal with and animals popping up on streets, so I'd love to rescue and foster animals and anyone I keep could potentially depending on their attitude help me determine a good home for animals, like would they ever have the chance to get along with other dogs, other cats or other animals. Do they like big open spaces or prefer to be a couch potato. All things that are bonuses of me loving a variety of different animals, and any confident ones would be very helpful for other animals or really motherly animals can often benefits from raising smaller things like silkie chickens, some dogs or cats can be very motherly.

@@clevername8832 you're so right. Many years ago one of my beautiful rescue dogs got away from her minder when I was in hospital. She was obviously searching for me as we had deeply bonded.

I searched everywhere, employed a tracker dog service, used posters with rewards, appeals on radio, local newspapers, vet practices and via Facebook, I even used psychics. I've never got over it and remain heartbroken 12 years later. Interestingly, all the psychics independently said that man with a small dog found her and took her home. I just pray she was loved and cared for. I still feel crippling grief and guilt even writing this.

@@clevername8832 It’s not “looking like a virtuous hero” and it’s not stealing a dog. If “running away and ending up at a neighbors house or elsewhere is normal” as you say, then that makes it even more important for a responsible dog owner to make sure their per has either a collar or a microchip - preferably both. A dog without either is a sign of neglect at worst and indifference to the dog’s safety at best. I have no idea how you can say that is “stealing” someone’s dog when there is literally no way to return it to the person who was responsible for losing it. The person who finds the dog shouldn’t be judged for the laziness of the dog’s owner. This should be obvious to any responsible pet lover.

She did more for that dog than most people would, and the people spewing online. Even her neighbours didn't do much, they said he'd visited them too, they shut the door and carried on their day. They didn't take him in for a month, take him the vet, or find him a home. Plus she didnt make a stupid decision to keep him, so her existing pets would be miserable, and life difficult. This lady did all she could, the dog is safe and happy, and I salute her.

[@Mar-pe9kx]

Exactly. People forget to realize the responsibility of taking care of a pet. It's not just cuddles and petting; you need to feed them, monthly/yearly vet visits, any medication they might need, daily walks and exercise, grooming, also training if the dog needs behavior corrected. And on top of this, most people work and have other responsibilities outside of home. I have one dog and I could NEVER imagine getting another dog to take care of. This lady already had TWO dogs so it's more than reasonable for her to give him to someone else.

It's a commitment in time and money and if you're short of either, you are short changing the animal and being selfish keeping it.... and keeping it from a happy life with someone else.

The way the dog sat in the chair and wagged his tail around strangers proofs he is an actual pet/ house doggie. He could've been from someone living just a bit further away. It happened to us too.

Months later we were walking by a property a thirty minute walk from our home and there he was. Barking at us and we recognized him.

Years ago we had a dog like this come to our house. He was a Yellow Lab, and he was the smartest, most human-oriented dog we ever had. He was gentle to our young sons, babies, other pets, and puppies and kittens, and fit right in with our pets. He knew the difference between playing rough and someone who is a threat and he would protect his family like a Grizzly Bear protects her cubs. There is a reason why animals just show up at your doorstep and don't leave. They are God sent for a purpose. a few years after he came to claim our house as his, my husband left the boys and me. I don't know how I would have made it through the first few years of my life after the divorce had it not been for Nick to lean on and protect us.

I work in retail outside the door someone left a dog a Jackshund, a mix between a jack Russell and a Dachshund, so I took it to the nearest vet snd found out it wasn't chipped and no one reported it missing, so I went around to 5 other vets and they all gave me the same answer. I assumed it was a old person's dog because it wasn't chipped but it had a £40 collar, it had some sort of cologne or it was it shampoo smelled nice plus it was well looked after, and all it wanted was to sit on my lap. Eventually I found out after putting up posters that it belonged to an old couple who both died together, and their child was in hardship so couldn't look after it and also it was 8 years old and they live roughly for 12-15 years I had it for another 6 years.

[@boohere2]

It's a bummer and sad when stray dogs just appear. I know of another dog years ago that was found on the streets. She was a puppy. Got to the animal shelter and no one came forward to claim her. So then my friends adopted her. She is the sweetest dog! They were surprised no one claimed her actually. Also- Similar incident happened to me in regards to finding a dog. In 2020 I was walking 2 dogs and found a dog roaming alone. Managed to get the dog & walk it to my car. I started trying to think who could possibly own him. The shelter took him in and he wasn't chipped. No one claimed him so they put him up for adoption. The shelter said he was originally scared of men, not confident, sometimes good with dogs & didn't like cats. I paid the adoption fee to get him a good home. The shelter worked with him- started training him....getting him more confident. Someone adopted him. He is in a great home. I kinda wondered though- who dumped him on the streets and why??

[@maggierobinson4612]

But the owner might have passed away or gone to a nursing home, too. Sometimes the animal who means so much to you won’t mean anything to another person who’s only there to settle an estate, or whatever. I am guessing , of course.

Yeah, he certainly appeared to have claimed that home, he also appeared to be used to sitting on furniture & doing tricks as well...which makes me wonder if he hadn't escaped someone's vehicle or home. My dog is an escape artist & he can open any type of door handle too, from letting his companions & himself out of indoor kennels & outdoor kennel/play yards, to opening car doors from the inside & letting his companion & himself out, or opening the door from the outside & letting his friends out of the vehicle, to letting himself in or out of different houses, garages, a 5th wheel...we have to make sure house & 5th wheel doors are locked, kennels & play yards have padlocks, car doors have lock on window, child lock on door & that his leash is secured to seatbelt; he's even chewed his way out of halters, collars, leashes, dog runs, & if he couldn't open the outdoor play yard door because of padlock, he climbed up the cyclone fence, pushed his way through the roof of the outdoor kennel/play yard, pulled the cyclone wires apart at the base, dug beneath it & actually pulled his fat little pug companion out. We couldn't keep him off the furniture, so we got him an old used leather armchair, put a big fluffy blanket on it, so that he wouldn't tear up the leather & that's his designated location...other than his bed. He needs structure & a set routine or he gets himself into trouble & everything needs to be dog-proofed. It's like having a child & he's just as intelligent & devious..he understands everything that is said & watches every move, so nummies need to be placed high where he can't open doors & cupboards to help himself. No one believed me when I told them that he understands everything that they say, never forgets a face, even if he met them only once, can recognize the vehicles of different people, can recognize where he's going in the car & can open doors... until they witnessed it for themself.
