This made me cry, it is incredible that there are people out there like Valerie who dedicate their lives to showing love to the forgotten and most vulnerable ones.
Wowowoow that is a huuge Number! Thanks to her💪💪
If only human seniors had such a loving and special place to go like your beautiful dogs do. You're an angel on Earth. God bless you and your gifts of love 💝🥰😇

I'm pretty sure it made everyone cry. How could it not?
AMAZING CAREGIVERS!!!! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND THAT YOU DO!!!!
If I were a rich man, this is where I would donate. How many broken hearts has she fixed, and how many has she had to get through , of her own. She's my hero.
We think alike! I'd do the same.
This lady is a saint God bless you and your family
You can donate some small amount, that would help people like her a lot to continue their work.
My sentiment exactly. When I win the lotto, this kind lady gets the first million.
Definitely
This woman is larger than life. I love how the dogs are free to roam, relax, play however each of their personalities prefer
dont comment here.....get out from this page
This woman is an angel living among us! Giving all these dogs hope and love. We need more people like her in the world ❤️❤️❤️
They need to be put down.
@@ironfist458 surely, they do not care for the dogs that suffering or are in pain. All of them, seem to be seniors who are not ill.
@@ironfist458 your cruel and disgusting!
May God have mercy on your soul!!!!!
@@ironfist458weirdo
You know someone's a legend when she saves that many dogs and gives them their own rooms! Amazing
😊💕
That's actually not the definition of legend but alright Chistine, whatever floats your motor home. Have a bad day.
@@alphathelema7268 thanks dude ! :)
@@alphathelema7268 Your comment to Christine was/is about as useful as tits on a fish. Go back to your bridge, troll.
@@alphathelema7268 umm but what u so mad for🤨
I have SO MUCH respect for this woman, every single human should be like her and think abt animals like this.
Agree.
if every person held love for animals the way these heroes at WWSDS did, there'd be no such thing as a stray animal. kill shelters would be a thing of the past, and pets would be valued by all as just another family member. pet allergies would lessen too no doubt.
Our world would be a paradise if more humans were like her.
The Great Dane had that toy, the whole time. So sweet. Made my heart melt when she said "after they eat they can go do whatever they want". Amazing.
I know, it's like heaven on earth for dogs. It's just beautiful, I can't believe it.
Whispering Willows needs it’s own UA-cam channel. Some live footage. A story on the personality of each dog. A day in the life. Video on breakfast another on dinner. Etc…. I would watch every single video and so would many others. I think it would be a hugely successful way for Valerie and the team to make money.
Such a smart idea
That would be such a fantastic idea! It would really put their name out there and really open doors for assistance. Great idea!
I agree...she gives so much of herself to these wonderful animals that she deserves all the help she can get. When I win the lottery...she will too.❤
YES!!!! Absolutely I would too watch it every day and they will be able to get revenue to expand and help more dogs
I don't think they are trying to raise money, can we stop thinking about the money and the show and think about authenticity and appreciate simple things as they are, just kind people who aren't trying to make a fuss or get famous.
The cleanliness and care these senior dogs receive is impressive. They are clearly happy and healthy.
I have 13 dogs and my place is a complete disaster. I don't see how she can keep up with 850.
@@nitromartini1422 she has alot of staff with her I'm sure helping with all that but 13 is impressive as well thanks for taking all them I know just how hard one dog can be
@@Ryan-dl9uw : Yeah, I go through a couple hundred dollars a month in dog food. She must have some kind of donation foundation arranged.
That gets really expensive, especially with spay-neuter bills, immunizations, and vet bills.
@@nitromartini1422 oh I hope she does if not this women is truly amazing . I would donate to her agreed all that is very expensive and all these dogs are seniors so some or most are probably on some sort of expensive medicine
Wow, I can’t even imagine “bath day” lol.
It really got me when she said that the dogs can realize “I’m still loved”... very moving. What a wonderful place. I would love to create a life like that for doggos!!! 🥰💕
♥️💕♥️🥰
So heartwarming. It's incredible that there are places like this out there. I haven't heard of a hospice for senior dogs before, but this should be a widespread service.
@@serenitysmith352 Yess.. exactly. This shud go on the news..the whole world needs to see this.
A widespread service? Are you kidding me? Please tell me you're joking. And where are we going to get this widespread service money? Dogs are expensive as is and people aren't going to spend more to create services like this. I mean buddy don't get me wrong I like my dogs(sometimes they're annoying), but I'm not going to treat them like my kids and act like they're as part of the family. It's just a dog. They don't even know what love is. Their brains can't understand the concept.
@@serenitysmith352 Bad news sells sadly. You are correct! This middle aged man is in tears from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Well done lady! Well done❤️
@@alphathelema7268 Your brain doesn’t either. Ironic isn’t it? 🤔
This is incredible. She's got a huge heart.
She has indeed and a HUGE bed lol .....
I absolutely love senior dogs, have 2 rescue seniors of my own 🥰 their pace of life & love for the small things makes me smile every day!
She has the largest royal suite booked for her in the heavens along with her puppies.
Yes, indeed. A Big and Brave heart saving so many lives
🥰❤❤💕
Obviously This woman has a special calling on her life with these older babies! I wish I could do that. My heart would break every time one of them passed on. I’m so grateful for people like her. ❤️
I know , Im the same, I would get so attatched. It really does take a very special person. Bless her.
💕❤❤💕
This must be incredibly hard and incredibly rewarding. God Bless Valerie!
Amen!
You’re literally living my dream job. Not just for seniors but to have a sanctuary as well for any dog in need. Such an amazing thing you are able to do for those fur babies in they’re last years or moments. You can tell how truly great full they are. 🥰🥰
Hello Tracy……..❤️😊
@@maxwellmark8077 Ew go away you creepy pervert
@@maxwellmark8077 wat what
This wonderful woman has created a convalescent home for senior dogs.
❤💕
Everyone, I give you: The hero the world deserves and the one we didn’t know we needed! May all our seniors of every species get to have as comfortable of a living as these beautiful souls! ❤️ 😭 🐶
💕♥️♥️💕
Absolutely.
♥️♥️💞
What a beautiful and special place! Special people caring for special animals.
This is a ‘next level’ dog person! But how lovely to care for the seniors. Simply wonderful
This is inspiring. Maybe I’ll retire from the tech world and adopt a thousand old cats. She’s got the dogs covered. ❤️
It’s a dream of mine! I say do it! 🐈🐈⬛
That's what I was thinking.
Why not both? Futuristic cat spaceship!!!
@@cabbybrocolimania5297 that would be awesome! If the world had not gone mad, I’d have my rescue already. I was in process of buying a place for $350k, and they took it off the market then put it back on for $600k a month later. I’m single and retired so 600k would wipe me out ….. so frustrating!
LOVE CATS!
I don't often comment but this really touched me, I took on a 17 year old cat because he needed to be loved again, he was so desperate to get out of where, we called Mr Albert's who I loved dearly he passed just before he was 20 and he lived a very happy life in that time and for you guys to do this for all these doggys is truly absolutely amazing, I love you
Thanks you for saving those beautiful angel baby in are a angel s godbless
I really admire people like you. Adopting a senior pet is a selfless act. For them the new family is their everything and they can finally live their last years in happiness. For the family however, in my eyes, it's very painful, because you won't have much time to spend with them and therefore suffering will come a lot faster if that makes sense? That's love right there. Putting the pet's happiness above yours, knowing that they will spend the rest of their lives with you, but you will only spend a short span of yours with them. Oh boy, this thought makes me cry so much.
@@CameliaSong Thank you for such a beautiful message, after I decided to take him home, I found out he had a terrible life and he was so poorly, he had really bad fleas, worms and cat flu (I was volunteering at a shelter) one day after he had done 24 days in isolation I heard almighty crying/howling, I found him and picked him up, he dug his claws in and looked me in the eyes and I could see how desperate he was to get out and right there I said your coming home with me, he was the sweetest cat, he was always was with me and love kisses on his head a d cuddles I know he was a happy boy and knew he was loved, yes I always wished I could have more time with him but as long as he was happy and eating, I cooked him chicken which was his favourite, I was happy, he's been gone almost 6 months and it's still painful and crazy as it sounds, it was worth it.
This lady deserves more recognition. Hopefully they'll expand and create more chapters in different cities.
This is so beautiful, there's no rules on what breed is allowed, just old dogs that needs help. Youre a hero Valerie!
This lady is a saint. Takin' care of All the lil Nana's an granddad's. So sweet 💕
me
Lol…love the way you put that. 👵👴
❤💕❤🥰
Oh my goodness, this woman is a saint. Loving all those precious babies and taking care of them. What a beautiful place for an older pupper.
Where does her husband sleep!?? Lol 😂. Seriously though
This is so enlightening to hear of a place that cares for the pets of folks in hospice. It’s something that no one thinks about but so vital.
This lady is my hero. Perfect human being who truly care about these beautiful animals.
The fact the senior dogs can get so much exercise and freedom is amazing as well. 5 acres fenced in wow!
They have so many CHOICES for what THEY want/need. Some must really thrive on that. What a blessing.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 yes!
👍🥰💕👍
This made me cry. Seeing these dogs enjoying all the spoils of their final chapters is just unbelievably touching.
There should be more love and humane treatment of senior animals like this lady is giving 😢 ❤️. A big thank you to her ❤️
I usually don't comment but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this. I hope this woman and all the people that help get everything she wants in the world and even more! You deserve the world for this. Your heart is beautiful!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL!
Some ppl defo taking things to the next level. This lady should be awarded for what she does. We adopted an 11yr old JackRussel Mix 2 yrs ago. She was for almost a year in the shelter since no one would adopt her. Older dogs are always overlooked. Most ppl just want a cute puppy. How ever older/senior dogs have so much to give.Every morning when my wife and i wake up she is at the bottom next to our bed. Wagging her tail and awaits her morning belly rubs. Shes the most wonderful and loving dog.
“They’re all puppies at heart.”♥️🐶😭 Thank you Valerie! A real earthly angel 😇
💕❤💕👍💕❤
I've been wanting to do this for cats and dogs. I rescue cats who have been abandoned and, or abused, but I really want to do much more. There's such a need for a retirement, hospice facility, but I haven't the financial means. This woman is marvellous. Many, many thanks.
I feel like you do 🖤. Rescuing is sadly about what resources you have to fulfill your goal of helping as many as you can. I send love to all of us, rich or poor, who do as much as we can to love and protect living creatures. Better to give comfort and love to those in need, to the best of your ability, than to overly obsess over material nonsense and help no one.
@@marsthatdamnrebel They each bring their gifts. We're wealthy in love and compassion and kindness that they bring to us. They make us much better humans. I've seen amazing compassion and kindness and love between cats. They are love deeply.
Crying!! Truly and angel. A million “thank yous,” wouldn’t be enough for what this woman & her staff do for those lovable seniors.
With that many dogs I was really impressed with how clean the facility is. I did not see feces or matted dogs. This is most impressive what this woman is doing. I realize many probably lost their owners due to death or health issues. Many however were probably rejected just because they got old. So sad. I've kept all my animals until their death except one which was a chinchilla. I found him a very loving home with another chinchilla. I just didn't have time for him at the time and I've had many animals. So wonderful what this woman is doing. ❤
At rescue sites, one common way I saw dogs left was when their owner died and family did nothing, just discarded dog. Some were just put out of the home, no rescue requested. Those people are heartless . So many of those dogs were small and when at rescues, they adopt out pretty fast. The seniors are slower to get picked. I understand the financial expense some seniors take, which grieves me because I would help more were it not for money. But isn't it great that MORE senior dog rescues are oiut there. NOW we need cats to have same.
👍💕❤🥰
I have always dreamed of having a place like this, I never knew one existed. This made my day knowing someone is helping these sweet, elderly dogs who lost their homes thru no fault of their own. May God bless this woman & all her helpers❤
This has been my dream also. And it makes me think…maybe…it’s possible ♥️
Mine also!!!!!! For years now…… and I was sooooooo close until the world went mad and the $350k house I wanted is now $600k and well out of my reach. I’m retired for crying out loud, and the world decides to implode!
👍🥰👍💕
You are their angel for taking them in, loving them, letting them all be together as a family as they age. Completely wonderful!
Hello Sunshine how are you doing today it's so nice to meet you on here okay, so where are you originally from??
Whispering Willows has been able to offer full time care for over 600 senior dogs. Over 550 of those seniors have passed over the Rainbow Bridge, with love being whispered until their last breath.
What a beautiful Human being. WE should all aspire to be like her. imagine how much better the world would be if we did.
we already have 12 cats and a dog at the moment. does it count?
💕❤❤🥰
"They are not ours to hold onto." A philosophy of love and acceptance. Thank you.
I rescued a senior dog from the Humane Society. They tried to stop me and wanted me to get a puppy but I knew they planned to put him down. I felt that he was a senior and so am I therefore we could take care of each other. That was 4 years ago and we are still together. He is in my bed fast asleep right now. I just love spoiling him. It makes me so happy. 🤗❤️🐕🐶
I'm going to rant here for a moment . Please bear with me . You my dear woman are an absolute angel. A saint. I don't know if you believe in karma or heaven or whatever, but you definitely got a buttload of good karma coming your way! All those senior puppies that you're taking care of that no one else would, well I'm sitting here with tears of happiness in my eyes. You are amazing. God bless you sweetie. Is there a website or charity or something that I could donate to to help with the upkeep of all those pups? I'm going to say it, I love you, you are my idol.
Senior dogs are the best dogs. They are like our grandpas and grandmas
and no less love. They have a little puppy still inside, too !
I’m actually getting tearful watching this! God bless this wonderful woman!
Oh my gosh, that Great Dane that carried around his/her favorite teddy in their mouth everywhere was so adorable.
I love senior animals. This farm is doing God’s work.
What a wonderful woman… a hero indeed. 💯.
💕❤♥️🥰
Woman like her make me believe in humanity.
Thank you from my 💜 for everything you do for this little souls on Earth 🌎.
Hello Angela…….❤️😊
Wow, I have no words other than this woman and her husband and staff are amazing. God bless them all
These are types of people that I always hope hit the lotto because people that kind and selfless are the people that deserve it the most, bless her!!
I love this. That is my plan after I retire is to foster seniors and hospice.....this just warms my heart.
Maybe you can work at Whispering Willows :) I'm sure they need all the help they can get.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 a little far away to do that...lol.
😍🥰💕♥️
This is seriously my dream, I want to make a rescue for senior dogs just like this where they can live out their days in peace and with lots of love and treats
I haven't cried at a Dodo video in a while but Valerie's love for these dogs touched my heart. Bless people with this level of compassion for animals.
How do you not cry at dodo videos?! I cry at each and every one! 😭
ABSOLUTELY One of the Most Beautiful DoDos I've ever seen. What a gift and treasure this woman and place is. Animals DO need a place to live out their lives too. What a Gift. It also shows how dogs need other dogs--they need a pack for love and comfort. They really do.
💕🥰
This woman is a true hero! She has my greatest respect. If and when I rescue again, I would like to rescue a couple of senior dogs.
I did once & will always be glad I did! Blue was so wonderful 💙 I can’t wait to have enough money to have doggies again~ rescuing the homely/old dogs is so wonderful~ their love and personality shows you how incredibly beautiful they are! If we can all do this with animals, maybe we can learn to do this with HUMANS TOO!!! 🥰
This has me tearing up so bad. I would love to do this for senior dogs, or any dog in general. This woman and the workers are the best!!!
All i have to say is there is a huge room in heaven waiting for you and your husband and everyone involved god bless all these special dogs thank you a million times ❤️🙏🐶
They're all so cute and able to enjoy their golden years together!
Senior dogs are the best, they'll forever be the young pup at heart♥♥♥
I wish the best for her and everyone at Whispering Willows.
💕❤🥰♥️
Man did I ugly cry watching this. She is living my dream, the most heart breaking thing about adoption is all the old babies that are forgot or their owners died they deserve all the love too. I’ve had my Mr.Bean for 10 years and I’m pretty sure his previous owner died and I couldn’t imagine my life with out him.
Bless Valerie and Whispering Willow for everything they do for senior dogs. ❤️💯💯
Ok, I'm crying now. Thank you for all that you do for these senior pups. You have given them love and so much more. Thank you for all that you do for them and for giving them a place that they know they are loved to be pups again. ❤😇
This made me cry! 😭 What a beautiful soul she is. A lot of senior dogs get forgotten and abandoned, good on her for providing them care into their golden years ❤️
❤💕❤💕
I recently lost my dog of 15 years at the end of last month. My mother and I adopted him when I was 4 years old and now I'm a college student. We went through a lot of hardship together but the last few years of his life were stable and full of love. It warms my heart to see so many senior dogs loved and taken care of because that's when they need us the most, to know that they have someome who loves them and all of their needs taken care of before they pass on. Bless these people for what they do.
An 850-bedroom house? Gotta be a Guinness record…!
I love that someone came up with this. There should be organizations like this everywhere. 👏 👏 👏 👏
That would be my dream when I retire, to build a nice animal shelter like that for dogs and cats of all ages and give them a nice home where they can live peacefully with dignity and where they can just enjoy themselves, chill and relax. God bless this woman and her husband for helping these precious furry creatures during their golden years.
I was thinking about her husband. What a wonderful man he must be to support his wife in a venture like this.
@@dawncain1712 I know, he must be a wonderful person too since he is supporting his wife with her project. They're both amazing people for sure. God bless them.
I have a 14yr old German Shepherd that's been with me since he was 6 weeks old and he'll be with me till the end. Hopefully, that's still years away. He's still healthy, but he's an old boy and I knew what I was getting into when I got him. Anyone that takes on the care and responsibility for so many of these elder angels is a saint. It breaks my heart to think of my old boy being gone. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that on a much larger scale. She may only have these dogs a short time, but I bet she loves them all like she's raised them their whole lives.
Hope you have many more happy years! My Husky Snickers is 18 now. If I could prove his age, he’d probably be a world record holder for his breed but all I care about is each blessing of each day I get with him.
wishing you many , many, many more years with your boy. My girl (Dobermann) lived to be 16 years 3 months. It was the best 16 years of my life.
This woman is living my dream! I would like to give up my 8-5 to give love and full time care to those puppos in need. Although hard to see them sick and older. It would be my honor to give them back all the love they give me. One day, one day I hope ❤️🐶
Hello Brittany……..❤️😊
Thank you Valerie, Whispering Willows seems like dog heaven on earth. The dogs seem so comfortable. Senior dogs are often abandoned because of their age, their illness, their disability. I wish there were dog sanctuaries in every city because they are truly man's best friends.
Love this lady.She will have her own rainbow bridge and saved fur babies in heaven!
Imagine when she gets THERE and they all greet her??
"This is the lady we told you about"
"Ah, she is a beautiful spirit"
💕👍👍🥰
If I win the lottery, this is what I want to do! ♥️
I can't imagine picking up after 850 dogs. She has amazing determination and patience.
This woman is an absolute angel.
All of the dogs are so lucky because they lady who saved them all gave them a really good life. I'm really glad she saved them all and I hope they have the best life all together! 😊
❤🥰
Unbelievable, god bless you and your lovely dogs.🙏🏿
Wow. There cant be too many jobs that are more heart wrenching than maintaining a hospice for dogs.

This woman, to me, is a super hero. All she needs is a cape. She's given herr entire life to being a loving caregiver to dogs who are in the final stages of life. I think she is the greatest of the great. May you get back as much as you have given. 💝🤗.
Not all superheroes wear capes. 😊
@@NetGuyMsia This is true.
I repeat my previous comment this Lady is an angel , she does a huge work whith this association ! Beautiful human being !
I adopted a senior cat when he was 16. I always go for the oldies or special needs. I don’t know how Valerie copes with losing them though. Thank goodness she does what she does..she’s marvellous.
If only the world were filled with people like her. She's an amazing soul 🥰🥰🥰
🥰❤👍💕
This is the best dodo yet….seeing all the senior dogs happy and well cared for warms the heart. Our Gigi is 15 now and takes extra care, seeing you with the seniors is a blessing. Thank you for being selfless and noticing these gentle old souls.
Being a senior dog lover is tough because getting attached knowing they won't be here for long, tears you apart. This woman is amazing.
This woman is an amazing human being. What a beautiful place.
This was one of the most epic stories at The Dodo. I am happy that this place exists and how dedicated they all are there. This place would make me happy too. All those cute and thankful little angels. I am just like how do they do it? It must cost a fortune.
A place like that is so important. I once sat at a vet with my dad and our sick family dog. A woman came in with an elderly lady dog. I was eighteen at the time but the female dog was 19. Her owner had died that night of old age and sickness and the dog was now left behind. The neighbor brought the female dog, who was already sick, to the vet to let her put down to spare her to have to go to a shelter in her old age. But the dog seemed still to be somewhat okay, so that they all were not happy about that decision. If this place here had been there that cute dog could have gone there.
It was a Dalmatian and for me it was impressive to meet a dog who was older than me at that age.
They put her down in the end cause she was sick too but we all felt bad sad about it. To put such a dog down. I think the owner would have cried her heart out about it. To get a dog to be that old means that you have been a good owner to them. It was just sad.
This woman is a hero and an angel, saving old dogs is a true action of love . Hat off for this astonishing Lady !!!
A god send. There are thousands of un wanted dogs everywhere. We need more people just like Valerie.. and yes, I’m crying
You are awesome!!! I’d love to do that if I had the room and money. I love animals so much!!! They deserve love and a home. Thank you
This woman is such a treasure to the Human Race as well as the Dog Race! I love her with all my heart and soul. May Valerie live long and prosper!
WHAT A GREAT LADY TO TAKE CARE OF SO MANY ADULT DOGS! A REAL HERO
What a commitment of love! What a beautiful soul Valerie is. That's the most dogs I've ever seen in one place. Amazing.
What a woman. Kudos also to her husband for not preventing her from fulfilling her dedicated dream. Bravo 👍👏💕
I don't know how you can watch that clip without coming to tears. What an amazing women with a big heart. Thanks for using what you have in life to comfort other beings. 😇🙏
❤💕
This is such a brilliant concept. This is what I’ve been thinking for the longest time. More places like this need to come up, pet orphanages and sanctuaries for senior pets, and not places where they sleep behind cages and on concrete where they’re waiting to be euthanized (kill shelters need to be banned) 🤦🏽♂️
**I CANNOT "THANK YOU" ENOUGH!! FOR WHAT YOU DO, MY FRIEND!! SENIOR ANIMALS, IN PARTICULAR, ARE THE MOST SOFTEST IN MY HEART!! **YOU, TRULY ARE GOD SENT FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS LOVING ANIMALS, INDEED!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
Every animal matters.
