  • Click to subscribe: zps.to/Subscrib... Cesar Millan gives tips about adopting animals from pet shelters so you can bring home your new best friend this Pawlidayz season. Zappos.com and North Shore Animal League is welcoming you to adopt a furry family member from Black Friday, November 24th to November 26th for FREE!
    Cesar says that potential pet owners need to assess the animal, not the animal's story that is told by the shelter. No matter the animal's history, observing how the animal acts both inside and outside of the shelter crate is key.

      Dogs aren't only for company, they are living beings. They get hungry, thirsty, cold, hot, and sick. If you want to have a pet, you must commit with your parents and with yourself to take care of the dog with your own life, because it will do the same thing for you. Get a job, in the case you don't have one already, and use the money to buy dog food and everything else a dog might need, clean the dog's deeds and make sure you train it properly. Trust me, a dog can improve your life if you put sincere effort to improve his... Cheers!

      We got an eight and a half years old senior dog rescued from Hurricane Katrina with a bum leg from it at a no kill shelter in Dallas Texas that greatly and lovingly lived with us for another six years, even with heart disease. No regrets about adopting that sweet girl at her age! It's incredibly worth it to them and to your own heart to see a dog or cat through their golden years.

    You have no idea, how much I’ve learned from you, over the years. Everything you’ve taught, I’ve remembered. My son had an aggressive dog, a large one at that. And every time I went over there. I ignored him. He’s an outdoor dog. Anyways, when I finally went out side with my son. I totally ignored him, and the next thing we knew. The dog was looking for attention from me. My son was blown away. Cause he’s bitten every one, who’s ever gone out there. But not me😁. Your lessons have taught me how to be around, different types of dogs. And I always, do well. So thank you for everything you have ever taught us 💕. You are, the dog god😄.

    • @TheSamuraiGoomba
      @TheSamuraiGoomba 6 років тому +1

      Older dogs (older than 3 years) have a more stable temperament and are easier to work with, in my opinion. A lot of times, older dogs are also less active and have less energy, which is helpful for those who work a lot or who aren't very active themselves for whatever reason. The only real downside to older dogs is they may have more health problems, and obviously they don't live as long.
      Hopefully you found a good dog fit for yourself, six months after leaving your comment.

  • @kittycatz1116

    I only adopt senior dogs. I love them till the end. My duration is short and heart breaking every single time. But I return to the shelter and always ask for the dog no one wants and has been there the longest. They are so depressed and defeated. Then as we are leaving a light goes on in their eyes. When we get home it's what ever they want. Bed, couch treats and of course endless love and hugs. Everyone should try it. Nothing more rewarding than to save a life.

My last one a less then a week ago went to Heaven a black and white Border Collie great I cry and miss him so much, he was my big companion, we walked 4,5 miles daily, I put him flowers on his back and people adored him. He haul instead of barking. He lived 15 years at the end he got arthiritis on hip and legs and couldn't walk anymore. I am in pain lossing him.

    When I was 11 and adopted my first rescue from the shelter, she was loud, in charge, and at the front barking. I was so excited and thought she'd be the best to play with (my kid mind thought so haha). We love and care for her dearly now, but looking back I probably should have adopted the dog in the back lol! I was inexperienced and my dog took charge for years until I learned 😂

    But so far in my life, all of our dogs came to us
    One dog kept coming over to my grandmas house and the owner just let her have her,
    Another was found on the side of the rode , skin and bones, came home with my dad and lived a good life
    Youngest one was found near our garage doors at 4 am on Halloween night, he’s the baby of the house
    I really hope we can adopt a dog/ cat in our lives, all the little angels deserve a good home

    Last year in maybe around September or october. Me and my family were leaving a parking lot. We were then turning left the we saw a little white matted dog with long hair running on the side walk. So we made our dad stop the car, then me, my mom, and my brother went out and followed it. We assumed he was very smart cuz he wouldn’t cross the street or anything. So we kept following him. At one point he stoped and barked at us, then he went on his way again. But then he went into a neighborhood. He went to a front of a house that surprisingly had the same breed as him. So then they started barking at each other, then the owner lady came out. We asked if it was her dog, then she said no. We were then able to corner him in some plants, then my mom picked him up. We then walked all the way back to the car. We took him home then we still had a little cage thing that we had for our little bald chihuahua, but it sadly past away about 6 years ago I’m guessing. We then put him in the little area then we washed him. We went to the store to get him stuff. We were at the store then my dad texts me saying that he jumped out of the area and went next to his bed. I told my mom and we just started laughing and told my dad to put him back in and stay with him. We got home and I took a bath. Then I come out with a towel in my hair then he just starts barking at me. So I get scared then my moms says he doesn’t recognize me. Then a week has past by and my mom has already gotten him groomed and saw if he had a microchip. He didn’t. So my mom posted on Facebook a before and after photo of him on a certain page. Then my moms friend started sharing it. I told my mom I wanted to keep him. She said she’ll give it a week and if nobody claims him we’ll keep him. So I got excited. But then I told her what happens if they fake it. Then she said she wants photo proof and their name to see if they respond back. So another week went by and we named him Rocket. And now as I type this.... he is now sleeping next to my bed right now. He is truly a special dog. He is our protector, and family member. Although, it’s hard for him to make new dog friends. I have a German Shepard named Sherlock. They kinda get along if that’s a word... He isn’t really a guard dog because he has ADHD and because he it so sweet! Rocket acts like a cat almost! He lays on his back, feet laid out, and more! Who would’ve known there was a dog like him! 5:14

    400 in a shelter! My county has 3 adoption locations. All 3 combined have less than 30 dogs! There are dogs that are there for less than a day before they are adopted. There are long adoption lists where the shelters evaluate you and choose the best candidate before they will even let you meet the dog. It is not first come first serve around here. As a result, people are picking dogs based on their picture and pressure because their chance of getting selected again to meet another dog is so low.
    I have been looking for a month and have not gotten a chance yet to meet a dog.

    I have contacted many rescue shelters but they all want hundreds of dollars to allow the adoption and then they choose if you get the dog or not. It’s very odd. So I went elsewhere to rescue. This video breaks my heart that so many of them need homes yet many good hearted, willing and experienced dog-people are discouraged from helping or flat turned away. Sad. Very sad.

    I keep on bringing my crow to shelters but she escapes and comes after me like a maniac. I need a shelter good enough to keep a crow contained for at least half a day so i can focus on my life. Shes exhausting really, she answers to "alegria"

    Rescue the one in the back or in the front? That isn't very easy. I've been a volunteer in an animal shelter for over a year, training dogs I chose with my intuition. There are dogs which are fearful or even aggressive but turn out to be great companions when given time.
    For example, Genevieve (imagine a short, chubby floppy-eared dog with Auvergne Pointer-like fur pattern), 15 years old, 5y in the shelter, withdrawn, sees with just one eye, but after me visiting her for a month or two, she started to show hear real character - playful, happy, submissive, even energetic. And her kennel companion, Kid, 11 years old, about whom I was told a year ago that he bites... after having groomed him the first time I saw him.
    And Vampire (imagine a very tall brown and black Chihuahua with a naturally-shaped head with proportional eyes and smaller ears) - the most biting dog in the shelter that wouldn't let anyone touch him FOR 14 YEARS, but I gave him a chance and after a few months of training with treats he became a playful and happy dog that likes being pet and lets me change his collar and so on. And he playfully barks when he sees me. I bet that after some more time he would let me pick him up. He used to bite everyone, all the time. He's 15 years old but likes jumping and running.
    And Cheers (just a multi-colored mongrel, my favourite "breed"), 6 years old, 1y in the shelter, withdrawn and doesn't want to get out but when he does, he's very happy and affectionate. I don't know him personally as he lives in another city but I intuitively feel we would get along perfectly. A friend of mine says he looks just like me.
    So... how to choose a dog at least of these 3? I'd choose Cheers if it wasn't for the fact that Genie and Vampy are 15 years old and haven't been given a chance. What to do?

      nearly every dog in a shelter is abandoned there by an ignorant owner. be realistic... 'too many' is your value judgement and you don't get to set the limits. Nearly NO OWNER takes his dog through 1 complete basic class, so that is the reason dogs are abandoned: frustrated ignorant humans. Dogs have nothing to do with any choice.

      As sweet as it sounds and I see where you're coming from but hear me out dogs are in the shelter because people got the wrong dog for them in the first place so somone who just goes and gets a shelter dog because they feel bad for them and then it doesn't work out you just hurt the dog and when you put them back in the shelter you just put that dog in the shelter and put another dog on the line to be put down and the dog you rescued is harder to get adopted with every time they are returned so you will do the dogs better if you choose the right dog over the 1 you feel bad for and the right dog might not be a shelter dog it might be a stray or one somone has to give up but they know wouldn't last in a shelter or even a breeder (responsible reputable breeder) so when you do get your dog just kept in mind that the dog getting the right home is better off than than just getting a home

    Some of the best advice ever for adopting dogs, all delivered in less than two minutes. Crazy good knowledge on display here. The part about dogs having issues inside the kennel but not outside is very true. When you adopt a dog, what you see in the shelter is not always exactly how that dog is. A dog may seem very quiet in the shelter, but that's just because they're scared, unsure, exhausted or in pain (surgery etc). When you get them home, their personality will really blossom.
    I wouldn't worry too much about barking either in the kennel. The shelter is full of all kinds of exciting smells and loud noises. A lot of dogs bark when they hear other dogs barking and a lot of dogs in shelters bark for many reasons. Which causes a chain reaction of barking. When you get them home, you will probably find they won't bark as much or will only bark at certain things, like garbage trucks or package deliveries. And those quiet dogs you see at the shelter will probably bark too once you get them comfortable and they are able to show their personality.

    "Most people don't end up rescuing a dog because they want all of then" so true, and just shows how much love love people have for dogs.

      Zappos.com Thank you :) I've always loved dogs more but never owned one (lived in an apartment most of my life) and when I hear these dogs who been abused and abandoned (note about those 'dog owners') they should never be allowed to adopt or foster a dog or any pet again. As for original comment, I also wanted to point out that as I would donate a large amount of money to various animal adoption centers (for helping staff get proper medical care and whatnot) I would adopt a dog or two myself (or just one). Inday that becuae I'm a bit of a careless twat, and I would feel awful not being able to care for more then 2 dogs xD

  • @fishbuddy547
    @fishbuddy547 6 років тому +7

    Yeah but it's not really the same comparison with race and dog breeds since dog breeds have different temperaments and characteristics. For example, if you're really lazy and live in a small apartment you probably shouldn't get a dog like a border collie which has a lot of energy and needs space. Dogs that need space can become destructive and territorial if left alone in small apartments. One of the reasons people give away their dogs is because the dog doesn't act they way they wanted or doesn't match their lifestyle. Also checking the breed can help determine which training methods and environment is best.

    • @MrTachyon3000
      @MrTachyon3000 6 років тому +5

      Cesar has also stated many times how important it is to focus on the "energy level" of the dog; meaning there are high, medium, and low energy dogs and thus, you select the one to match yours. But you can't fit everything into a 2 minute video.

  • @DougHinVA

    He is right in many ways... a dog is an ANIMAL... not a person to talk to... or baby ... or fuss over. A dog needs structure, boundaries, and limitations (as top rehabber Jeff Gellman stresses). And taking 3 of mine thru CGC certification and handling many dozens for rescue in shelters helped me understand that.
