  • Rottweiler spent 8 years in shelters before this guy decided he would never give up on him ❤️
    We talked to Luke about the simple thing that made Freddo gentle towards everyone - and whether his family ended up foster failing!

      That’s usually the case. It’s sad. People are just lazy and would rather dump a dog then actually try. There is ALWAYS reasons for a dog to be acting out. 4 of my dogs were foster fails, they’re pitbulls and would of been overlooked at the shelter because of their issues and past. They’re all wonderful dogs. Wouldn’t even know they had a bad past if they didn’t have cropped ears and scars, one even has a crooked tail from his tail being broken and was left untreated. My children love them, even my neighbors love them. There are no bad dogs❤️💯🐾

      ​@@DogLover_365. exactly. You have to work with you pets, no matter the breed. Don't just take them to some dog training classes at your local pet store, or even with a certified trainer, and think you're done. And, don't think that, just because you dog's breed is labeled "soft" and "kid friendly" that you won't have any problems. Every dog is different and, if you don't train them properly, can become aggressive. I was mauled by two Black Labs who lives next door. Their owners never spent time, either playing with them OR training them. They had four digs total and, lacking any clear alpha in that house, they made their own pack and Charlie was the pack leader. They got loose one day and I happened to walk outside, just in time for them to swarm into my yard and bite me.
      To this day, I do not blame those dogs at all. They got the short straw with their owners, who never came over to apologize, see how I was doing, ZILCH, and I had to hire a lawyer to get their homeowners insurance to pay my medical bills.
      BITTOM LINE, PEOPLE. Be responsible pet owners, or don't bother having pets at all!!!

    The Farm, Luke Evans’ place in Australia, is now home to 20 assorted dogs (as well as two Dingoes and two cats) most of whom have been rejected, abused or been in shelters. Freddo captured my heart, though being on the other side of the world made adopting him impossible. But Freddo was the inspiration for us to adopt two rescues - I always tell them that they have an uncle in Australia. Every dog needs a family - every family needs a dog! ❤

    Luke said something in one of his videos a couple of years ago that has always stuck with me, made me realize how much he truly understands these shelter dogs, the traumas they’ve been through, and the shell-shock they experience inside the shelter. As he explained it, because he can understand these things from his time in the military, he views these misunderstood dogs as though they’re his troop mates, “and in the military we had a saying that you never leave your mates behind. Well, that’s how I see these shelter dogs, they’re my troops now, and I don’t ever want to leave one behind.”

I then tell them about all the time and effort needed to look after them, train them constantly! The stubborness, sass and yes always the hair.

      The Evans have foster failed - a lot. Two brother dogs, Tank and Chopper, brought by the shelter staff along with other dogs to get some exercise on the Farm property. When it was time to go home, Chopper simply laid down on his side because he didn't want to leave. Within 5 minutes, Luke had introduced them to some of their dogs to see Tank and Chopper's behavior with them. They did well enough that they stayed at the Farm that night and never left.

    There was something innately special about Freddo from the very moment he set forth onto "The Farm". It was as if he was harboring worn-out secrets, unwilling to share with anyone. A loner of-sorts, until Luke helped to break down Freddo's untrusting barrier. Sometimes I wonder who adopted whom? The rest is history....Freddo's hard knocks in life gave him the much needed fortitude to preserve until he successfully bonded with his earthly angels, the Evan's family. The rest is a storybook tale...the pauper canine who miraculously became a prince, and is now living his best life. ❤ We passionately love you, Freddo!

    Farm member here so happy that Freddo is being featured! At the time, it was so bittersweet watching Luke lovingly prepare Freddo to meet his new family, but when that gate opened and they yelled surprise… well that started the waterworks. (Lord love him, my husband was a bit confused.. he’s so literal minded, Luke said a new family, so wait, what?? 😂😂) And then the party after?? So stinking sweet. All the love and care put into helping Freddo blossom to be his best self… he is such a good boy. We were just as surprised as everyone that no one had come forward.. all the members were in love with him but too far away, or couldn’t take another dog. But he was meant to have his furever home at the Farm. (Husband and I sometimes sing parts of the song Elle and Evie sang for him, “Freddo, you are home now..” 🥲) So sweet to see this special doggo’s story shared with more people. 💕

    It is ironic that Luke fought for our freedom (and gained PTSD in the process) and he himself is now reduced to a small world (ie The Farm) because he and his wife as so selfless and have dedicated their lives to save those that others have let down and in the process have not only gained the stress of caring for the beautiful creatures emotionally and physically (some have significant health issues and vet bills are expensive) but having to do so without a steady income because they had to close their successful business to support the rescue animals. Truly the best family on the internet. Who would sacrifice their livelihood and freedom, they cannot leave the farm as a family for long or ever go on holidays because they need to be there to correctly channel the dogs, dingoes and cats interactions for all the wonderful animals they have rescued. 💕

They adopted one of the dogs - Rosco a mastiff', another family adopted 2 of them and one was adopted by another family. The others are all on social media and are thriving in their new homes.

      Luke’s a dog trainer, he was trying to help pound dogs find homes and he did but now he has “20 dangerous dogs” best you tube channel. He closed his dog day care now and still helps out some pound dogs. Worth a follow.

    I love seeing a big, loving family on a farm, who loves their animals, and their animals love them right back. I was worried that Fredo would be sent away, and feel like he was losing his people. What a surprise, he was already home.

    I adopted a dog who had been returned twice to the rescue. It's 5 years later and I don't regret a thing and I don't understand why not one but two families gave up this sweetheart of a dog

      I think it was the same with Freddo, he had been returned to the shelter 2 or 3 times and was on the euthanasia list, to see him now, so loving with this family, both human and furry, is the result of someone not giving up on him. Your dog just needed a good owner to blossom, wonderful of you to do that for him.

    Much like humans, most dogs' temperament is a reflection of how they have been treated. When there are behavioral issues, the dog gets blamed (and punished), although it is usually not their fault. Freddo BECAME gentle and loving because that is what Luke showed him!
