I think it's RIDICULOUS that they made her stay there in that shelter for so long when she could have been in a loving home the whole time. Thanks for adopting that sweet girl.
I agree totally. If you ever find a sweetie DON'T call animal control. They aren't there to help the animal. Lucky she wasn't put down. Another failed system.
Yeah I don't understand that at all!! Zero reason for them to keep her their for that long... not sure why they even took her in if he wanted to keep her. .. why process her at all??!! Odd..
Never involve the government
Red tape bureaucracy man. It’s stupid. Shelters in my area make house calls to make sure that the pet is living in a good environment.
@@lynneaiken1647you really don't understand the motive??? Because they get government subsidies and then they charge to adopt her, its a human animal slavery racket.
Smart dog to go shopping for her human.
😂👍
😂❤
I keep saying, great deals can be had at the Dollar store!!!!
😂❤
I can confirm, dollar general has amazing deals! And puppies! 😂
Y'all were meant to be together, thank you for not giving up on her
Indeed she new what she was doing.
So cute😍😍
Stupid
😢❤
.,wio@@Always_Thinking
He had to adopt a dog that he rescued. 😮😮😮 Insane. The shelter DID not have to take her from him. He found her. 😮
I would not have called animal control, once they get they get involved it is more difficult.
In the UK it is worse, if you call them for an animal you found and want to adopt it they do NOT LET YOU, because their policy is to rehome them far away from where they have been found in case the person who abandoned them want to take them back...
@@CR-yn5sy
That's absolutely insane 😳 I don't care for animal control at all.
I bet he had to pay a fee as well, as usual!!! 😬
His first mistake was to phone animal control.
It looks like he chose to go through the “proper steps”. Sometimes they have to do a 72hr holding period in case the dog is lost and there are owners looking for them. Most people would look for them at the closest shelter and you can’t always count on found pets to be posted about online, or that whoever found them has the resources to care for them. It is weird that it took that long to process her. There may have been other things going on that weren’t explained in the video, but you would think a shelter experiencing a space crisis would do their best to get dogs out of there that already had interest.
I can’t believe he had to wait that long to adopt the dog when the shelters are so overcrowded.
Well leave it to the government to over complicate things for no reason.
People deserve to have time to find their dog if they're in animal control. Sometimes dogs go a county or two over.
Not for more than a month, no. A responsible owner will have their dog chipped and registered, so they can be contacted by the shelter, otherwise they didn't value their pet anyway! None of this was mentioned in the video, so they didn't care. Why hence wait or delay the adoption.
@@MC22Scott Do you work in rescue? I've never heard of any shelter holding a dog for weeks. It's typically 3 days. No longer. Call them and they will tell you the same.
@@HSK.LernerLol 😂 not all responsible pet owners have their pets chipped. You’re just another judgmental human being. You probably consider yourself to be a good person don’t you? Well you’re not
This man found something priceless in a dollar store…🐾
🤣😂🫡
Love this! Occasionally, you can find something cool at the dollar store ❤
Beautifully expressed!🥰
I see what you did there.
🤣😂😂😂RIGHT
How cruel are humans. He loved that dog and wanted it, and that dog loved him. Proud you stayed in there and you're together.
Humans can really suck! 😡
Bur I'm so glad he has that sweet puppy now.
we are simply just mammals after all who had to kill every life form possible just for us to takeover the planet and control everything to our liking.
What was so bad that a human did? A human saved him and loved him
What did humans do in this story?
Why Even contact the animal shelter .. becaus of what... not the brightest moove ever made...
It was an example of how "animal control" is getting in the way of doing what is right for the animals they're supposed to help and protect. Thanks for pushing through to the end and giving her a loving home.
Yes, awful!!
All about the $$$.
He had to pay big buck$ for a precious pup he had free just a day prior.
NEVER call Animal Control w/a found dog, unless you’re positive you can’t keep it & cannot find the owner.
I’ve always kept strays w/me as long at least a week, until the owner was located, or I could find a good, safe, forever home.
I kept one dog 3 mos, till I found just the ‘right’ home.
Best outcomes for all!
I don't know why you took it there because animal control aren't the police and they aren't going to serve a warrant to come get a dog so he could have just kept the dog and took it to a vet
❤just sad how these animals are just abandoned.
Don’t blame animal control. I have experience working at shelters and they just do what the county makes them. Y’all love to villainize innocent people
Infinitas gracias 😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞🩷🌟💞💞💞💞
I was at a DG in rural OK in Dec. 2019; there was a pittie mix brindle coated female stray. I talked to the cashier and she said she'd been rhere all day. She helped me get her in my car, and we got to our little vacation getaway, hopped in the shower and she's the best ever. I named her 'Penney' ... She's Penney from the Dollar Store. We love her so 😂❤🐾💕 She rescued me, for sure!!!!!!
thats insane because i clicked on this video because the dogs looks exactly like my friends dog who is named penny
Thank you for saving Penny🐶❤
Lesson learned from this video. Don't call Animal Control. Go to the vet to check for a microchip, call the owners. If none found, keep the pup.
It's beyond amazing how it takes so long for AC to "process" a dog that has a willing adopter. SMH
With shelters overflowing, why would a busy shelter use resources to house a dog with a ready adopter? What the heck? Kind of disturbing if one donates to these organizations.
I think some states require a minimum hold time incase the original owner comes looking.
@@Wee162 Not a fan of Animal Control, but it might have been as much about checking out the ready adopter and making sure they were good people as it was about checking out the dog's health and history.
Exactly! So annoying!
I got one of my dogs from dollar general. He was just hanging out in the parking lot. The manager said someone left him and they were calling animal control the next morning. I opened my car door, he jumped in, and he's been at my side for almost 13 years.
Thank god! I would not let animal control get their hands on it.... they make things more complicated unnecessarily and bake mistakes too
That’s how it’s done 👏 bravo!
❤❤❤❤
😍❤️it was meant to be it saw something you couldn’t have foreseen that you were destined to be its owner and it saw a future with you
Except that you may have picked up someone’s lost dog and they never saw them again. You don’t know if the dog was a runaway picked up by someone or stolen and then abandoned at the store. You don’t know the dog’s history. Only the vet or AC can determine if the dog was microchipped or abused. If it looked in a healthy state, it probably came from a good home and you just denied the original owners the chance of recovering their pet.
I love the way she was BOUNDING across the grass to meet you, all four legs tucked, flying.
❤
Yes that was so cute
Bunny hopping w/pure joy!😂♥🐾
@@sonneversets3530 BOING! BOING! BOING! Pure joy.
Dogs are the most selfless and loving animals… All they want is to give love and receive love… How anyone could abuse and harm these wonderful creatures is astonishing!
Amen..well said
You don’t need a million dollars, it can be just a dollar to save someone’s life and to get an endless supply of joy and happiness from your rescue! ❤️
I was perplexed why you had to wait so long to bring her home. But she is wonderful and she’s living heaven on earth with you!
So the owners had time.
@@MC22Scott Owner holding time is generally 72 hours, not weeks. It's due to the ineffectiveness of the shelter staff.
Thanks so much for the replies! I was so confused as to oh my gosh it’s taking so long, but now it makes sense.
@@dawnmichelle4403 Yep...does not take weeks. EVER! I volunteer in an animal shelter. It's a 72 hour hold.
How cute she is!!!!❤
Animal control is one of the worst places to call.
But I'm glad you got her❤.
So thank you for rescuing her.
I had found a manx cat in my neighborhood that no one was claiming. No collar nothing. I caught her and called AC, they warned me they'd take her but if no one claimed her and her was up they'd put her down.
I understood but wanted to return her to her family.
I drove to the shelter but I was over a half hour early for opening. I waited 15 minutes then went "screw it let's go home."
Had her for a bit before some AH purposefully hit her. Neighbors saw and said they sped up when they notice her on the side of the street.
@@LadyBern OMG!!! That is absolutely EVIL! What's terrifying is that he lived in your neighborhood! How sickening. I'm so incredibly sorry that happened to her and to you!😭
@@eveningstar8581I don't know who they were. I take fault for not training her to stay on the sidewalk. But that was still a sadistic thing for someone to do and I hope the very worst for them before they turn their sights on bigger things/people.
@@LadyBern I've seen that happen twice in my life, sadly. Some people are just pure evil. They don't realize it, but there will be a reckoning.
Your kitty knew a happy and loving home for a bit thanks to you. Sadly, some cats never get to experience what you gave her.
Hold on to the memory of the happy times with her. God will deal with the demon who killed her.
Yeah I thought they only dealt with like raccoons, rats, and stuff like that.
"She remembers you."
Of _course_ she remembered him; he visited her as often as he could. Best of luck and life to Ray and Dolly. ♥
That's what I said!!
What a sweetheart, she definitely chose you!
You can't refuse once you've been chosen 😮
🐕🤗🐾🥰 Congrats dad❤
I wish there was more people like this young man. The dog clearly loves you.
Well said!❤
These two belong together. Little dog is off the charts adorable. Be happy. I hope they're together forever.
A dog is the ONLY creature that loves you more than itself! Dogs! What a blessing from our Father!
Beautifully said!!🙏🏻❤️
True. No one will ❤ you unconditionally like a dog or cat. They're precious.
we created dogs..mankind did..
🙏🏻💗🐾
Amen!
Thank you🙏🏻❤️
She hops when she runs. So adorable. This makes my heart happy
YOU CAN ALWAYS JUDGE THE CHARACTER OF A MAN BY THE WAY HE TREATS ANIMALS.
THANK YOU FOR RESCUING DOLLY !!
@FN-cr2lq Screw off. The person was a MAN.
Truth! ♥
@FN-cr2lq Agreed but maybe she's thinking in terms of like potential mates. Or maybe she's just referencing males because this story happens to be about a male. But anyway, yes, you are absolutely right. I totally judge all persons by how they treat animals.
Hitler was an animal lover and treated his dogs like they were royalty...
I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said the following almost a 100 years ago: You can judge the character of a nation by the way it treats its animals
Can't believe someone gave up such a friendly pup. Worse was having to stay in the shelter with other distressed animals. Glad it turned out well. Good support for all employees! ❤😍
He was part of a hoarding situation.
Shout out to the young man for being a solid dude!
Our local shelter (where I volunteer) would have taken in the stray to make sure no one was looking for the dog. We have a mandatory 3 day hold. So that little gal would have been adopted to him a lot sooner. What a great match.
Ours doesn’t even have to take them in. They just ask you to fill out a form in case the owners come in then you can keep them in your home until the stray hold is up.
It's 2024. No chip, not your dog. Mine. Not sorry.
@@toddjones1480Yeah seriously! Idk what’s up with that shelter, I’m just outside of STL and the adoption process couldn’t be easier! We came in at 10:00 in October and left at 12:00 with a beautiful pup lol
I love this.
the way they held onto the pupper so long was frustrating.
But in the end, love won. 🤗🐕💕
Our shelter allows the finder to keep the dog in their home if they’d like. They still post them on their site so that if their owner comes looking for them. It actually helps the shelter too because it frees up space for them
That's a good practice. Also, it gives pet finders a chance to say to themselves, " Do I want to adopt this pet?" Less work for the shelter to find a home for the pets.
Yes you would think that is common sense
You never know what you wil find at the Dollar General Store!! Guy found this little puppy!! She had no place to go! He took her home and fed her and took her to the shelter!! It hurts, but luckily?? He came back to adopt her!! Great Going Guy!! Kudos To You!!😊❤

Yes!! Great Man!!❤❤
There's a special spot in heaven for you because of this little girl. She was meant to be. Thank you SO much. You don't find the dog, they find you. Hugs!
That’s a fact! ❤
The fact that animal control couldn’t make it the night you found her was a sign to take her home
Those two deserve each other, both have such bright personalities.😊
Dolly - from Dollar General - so cute!!❤❤❤❤ Thank you for taking her, and being patient!
All the poor dogs I hope pray they get loving homes🙏🏻
Dolly is such a precious pup!! thank you for rescuing and later adopting her.
she chose the right person to be her dad.
Love the name dolly ❤.thank you for keeping her.
That's terrible what she had to go through. You'd think they would've been happy for a volunteer foster home. Glad you saved her!
Dude, calling "Animal Control" is like calling the most unhelpful cops....like not my 1st reaction. I'm happy it worked out
Animal control in my town is incredible. Everyone knows her by name, she's always reachable by Facebook if you've lost or found an animal, and she's out at all hours of the day or night, for hours, when needed.
Some care a lot, some don’t. You can say the same with every single thing in life
@@alexsolo4085True words ☝️
Some are amazing. Please don’t lump them all into one group.
Yup, the guy who does animal control in my town is one of the biggest animal lovers I ve ever met. He loves his job and all the animals he helps. Sounds like this was a case of wrong place at the wrong time. They were busy rescuing over a hundred dogs from a hoarding situation! Give them a break!
She shouldn't have had to stay at animal control for weeks. Glad there was a happy ending in this story.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ray, you have made Dolly's life so, SO happy. My hero ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love how after adoption she jumps and bounces like a bunny 🐰. She’s absolutely a keeper. Love this ❤.
Thank you ❤❤
I can understand that the animal control needed to clear her and be sure that her family was not looking for her. I don't like how she was made to stay at the facility that long. They make too many mistakes and she could have been scheduled for euthanasia. The baby was more miserable being there than necessary. Dogs actually cry and feel abandoned by only minutes. A minute to them seems like that's it! They live only in the minute and when they are left they are tormented because it seems like you're never coming back. Those people need to reprioritize these cases. I know she was so desperate and scared. Thank you for your kindness and love. You're so rare and I am sending you huge hugs and support. 🫂🫶🏻🥰
Completely agree that was unnecessary no logic in keeping her that long and yes I heard they do make mistakes. I would have been a nervous wreck until I got her back...
I also would NOT have called them in the first place
They could have also just had the man fill out a form in case owners came in then he could have kept her at home during the stray hold.
Clear her? You think they actually research the dogs family? If the dog didn’t have a tracker, or tags… it’s not happening. Should have never taken that long
My heart goes out to the people who run shelters bc that’s a tough and often heartbreaking job. I understand here they were trying to make sure that every dog got a good home. But it really is ridiculous they had to wait that long. Adoption is top priority. If you put too many boundaries up dogs aren’t gonna get owners. You need to make sure the process can be easy and fast.
She is a spunky sassy beautiful tiny thing. So lucky to have found eachother!
Thanks so much for taking her
Thank you so very much 😊❤ God Bless 🙌 ❤️ 🙏

Literally crying happy tears..... I'm so grateful this precious little girl was seen and found by the right human! I wish every stray could experience a happy ending like this. Let's continue to spread the trend of kindness when it comes to animals in need. ❤🐾❤️🩹
Bless you for hanging in there for so long and making her your forever girl.
Wow, how could anyone with a heart give up such an awesome, friendly pup like her? She's such a sweetie, pretty much perfect! I'm so glad she found a loving home in the end! 💗

beautiful dog and wonderful guy. Thank you for saving her and giving her a very loving home
What a beautiful story. Thank you for being so patient. She looks like she’s the most wonderful best buddy you could find. Spoil her rotten!🥰😍❤️
Thanks to that man for his resilience through the process and for loving her! I already got two dogs, but I hope in the future and I can rescue some more.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️💕❣️. I have 2 Dolly's at home and they're the best 😂.
They should have scanned her for a chip, kept her for a week to see if anybody was looking for her and, if not, simply said, „She’s yours!“
Good man!
Thank you for saving Dolly!! She's a cutie! You're awesome!! 🥰🥰😇😇🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank You awesome human! ❤🌠
This is proof that great things can be found at the Dollar Store❤😊🐕
Now I know that if I am ever so lucky to find a sweetie somewhere, I would never call animal control. God❤ bless you for keeping her! You found yourself a treasure! ❤❤
Not calling animal control means her rightful owners might not Ever find her. That's cruel. She could've slipped out and they're desperate to locate her.
Thank you for saving her ❤🐕🐶 Hello Dolly super cutie girl girl 🥰
What a sweet pretty girl, y’all are blessed to have found each other. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🐶💙💜💖❤️
OMG what a sweet man. He toughed it out and went to visit that lil fur baby when ever he could. I am sooo happy this little fur baby tagged a good man and a great forever home.
God Bless You for giving Dolly such a wonderful and loving forever home!
So glad that this man got to keep that sweet little dog.
LOVE!!! Such a great story. I truly don't understand how people leave their pets behind. It's so heartbreaking but so glad you found each other match made in heaven!
Shes gorgeous and obviously loves you !❤️ I've had 3 rescue dogs and now have my 4th, all little mutts like Dolly best thing I've ever done ! Unconditional love ❤️🇬🇧
