I adopted my Maltese named Lady when she was twelve years old. her old owners used to lock her in a bathroom all day without any kind of love or attention. She is now sixteen years old and living the best life I can give her. Each day i notice how tired she is getting; and each day it reminds me that not only did I save her, but she saved me. The day she leaves me will be the saddest day of my life, but I will never regret rescuing my little old lady
... and do not let the departure of your dog(s) make you not want another dog. I feel that many people use grief over the departure of their dog as an excuse of not wanting another dog. Basically, they're saying, "I've had enough of being tied down by a dog. I want to have the freedom to go on tours as and when I want without arranging for someone to care for my dog."
@@nanyanghuayi that’s an interesting perspective. I haven’t gotten another dog because I don’t want a “rebound” or another dog just to take my previous ones spot. Seems unfair to my previous pet, although they aren’t here to judge either way.
I have a Maltese mix too! She was around 8-10 when I found her dumped on the side of the road. She was missing most of her teeth, and going blind and deaf. She’s on antibiotics all the time because of a persistent infection in her mouth that she’s too fragile to do much else for. Surgery to remove the rest of her teeth is too dangerous to risk at her current age- around 15 at the youngest- so we just manage her symptoms and keep her fat and happy. She’s a very good lap dog and my dad adores her.
@@nickthompson1812 it took over a year for me to get another dog after my childhood pet died at 13. I had my old lady, too, but there was still a hole without more dogs. I can honestly say that my puppy has not replaced my childhood dog, but she does bring me a lot of joy and provide companionship for my old lady. My 15 year old Maltese mix was very lonely and depressed after my other dog died but she’s much happier now, even if the puppy drives her a little mad sometimes.
@@nanyanghuayi sorry but that's a crock, I felt like I was betraying the memory of Toyah, my beautiful Cairn Terrier. Don't be so judgemental.
I don't care how old she gets, i don't care how big she gets, THIS will always be, a puppy!
yes
That was my reaction. Despite her age, she still had that puppy dog face.

I couldn't imagine someone seeing a 7 year old dog as "too old" to adopt! I have one at home who's still very sprightly, and thankfully has minimal health issues. So sweet to see organizations giving senior dogs a chance, seeing Maya's transformation and the compassion you have for animals
My dog was the same way, he didn't start slowing down until he hit at least 13, but his health was going down hill as well.
i can't wait to get my own place so i can adopt a sweet senior dog. i don't live a very high energy life, so senior animals are amazing
A 7 year old dog sounds like a 40 year old person. Not young, but certainly not old.
@@magicalronin it definitely depends on the breed. For example chocolate labs live to 10.7 on average, for them 7 is about two thirds of their life
my ex's dog was 16 years old already when I met him
My 15 year old beagle just passed away and I adopted her when she was 10 years old :) so yes...senior dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️ I find they are the sweetest dogs you can ever own because they look so happy to be given a furever home 😊
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww too sweet :)
So sorry for your loss
I lost my (90 yr. old rescue at age (18) on Valentine's DAY 2021. Sampson, shown here is now with his brother. One week later, Sampson worked his magic and sent me another Rescue, the (4) yr. old Faxxon.
So sorry for your loss, Jillian.
❤❤❤❤❤💔❤
This old gal is loving this process. Such a good girl.

Just how there’s a special place in heaven for those who adopt senior dogs, there is a special place in hell for those who abandon senior dogs. I’ve heard so many stories of people effectively trading in their elderly dog for a new puppy. That is so messed up. Dogs are companions FOR LIFE. Abandonment seriously messes with them, and it breaks my heart when people do things like that. I do not comprehend how people can do such heartless things
I used to foster for a pit bull rescue and you would be shocked at the reasons people give for abandoning their pets. Some people don’t deserve pets.
What? I would take a nice calm happy senior dog over a bitey mad devil that is a puppy? I actually do have a puppy currently and can't wait until he grows up 🙄, the puppy stage is just something I have to go through in order to train a well rounded dog. Honestly I'm so adopting an older dog when I'm older 😆.
I have 3 dogs that I love very much. One is 22. One is almost 14. One is 7. I have 2 cats . One is 13 and the other one is 11. ❤❤
Sometimes it is because their owners die or get put in a home. Life can throw the best people a curve ball.
Yep my Aunt had a senior Airedale Terrier... She fell, got put in a home & terrier was fortunately left in the hands of a doggie daycare til eventually she died of old age... RIP Porsche, I loved that dog she was such a sweetie.
"Tidy up the grinchiest Grinch feet of them all" she said the thing!
I got teary eyed watching the undercoat removal. It was if years of sorrow were being removed and joy being scrubbed in. :)
Yes exactly❤️
@@annaak7849 :)
🥰💯🙌🏾🙌🏾
She definitely looked like the undercoat removal made her feel lighter and put a spring in her step.
They are beautiful words. I loved that. Thank you 🙏🏻
As I have mobility issues and not being able to walk fast, an older dog needing slower, gentler walks sounds perfect.
My husband & I are retired and we have 5 senior dogs, we were never blessed with children (so no grandchildren 🙁) that makes caring for 5 doable for us. When one dies we look for another senior to take its place. We cry a lot of tears for each one that leaves us, because we give them all the love we have for what time they are with us, but we are happy in the thought that every minute we had them, they were loved to the fullest. 💗 if you can adopt one larger or maybe two small ones, it will enrich your life beyond measure. 😊
My dog is 11 and he still pulls like a mad man from time to time.
I hope you get a dog of your own. If you do, you will have my memories with your amazing doggo. :)
@@gidget8717 Bless You beautiful people ❤️🐶🐾💕😊
Our 9 year old Husky axtuslly.pulls HARDER now lol!! She came to us full of worms and with anxiety as a pup but she's fully insane now. Also we cured her zinc deficiency (common in huskies but not that well known) and she will literally Not Stop Screaming 😂❤️🐺
She’s such a beautiful dog. She looks like she’s a cuddler.
That's what I was thinking too Haha! She looks so cuddly😊
The perfect galpal for relaxing with a movie, after a long leisurly walk.
Someone is cutting onions here. I've lost my giant baby last January, he was 15 years and 10 months and I still have another big boy who was 16 years two days ago and still healthy and I can't imagine them in a shelter. My next dog will be an old rescue, they deserve a warm home with good food and fine veterinary care. Adopt because dogs are angels no matter what breed they are.
This right here is why I want to focus on the senior babies when I'm prepared to adopt. What greater thing could you do than make a forgotten older baby's final years pampered and loved 💚
I respect people that have the emotional strength to adopt seniors. Imagine loosing them a couple of years later, the pain that my jrt cause me when he left was unimaginable and cant see myself going through that over and over.
A few years ago when I was looking to adopt my first dog ever I had my eye on an 8 year old dog, but the rescue group recommended against adopting a senior dog for a first time dog owner; their logic was that there is a real possibility that they won't last much longer and it would be a very bittersweet memory. I kind of get it... If I had been in that place I would have freaked out (thinking I somehow screwed up and killed the dog) and that might have put me off ever having another pet. I ended up adopting a 3~4 years old dog, she is 7 now. Hopefully she'll be with me for a long long time, but now that I have proven to myself that I can keep a dog alive and thriving, I might make the jump with my next dog and adopt a senior.
We adopted a 7 year old shelter dog in 2012 and now he is 16 years old! Buggs is a schnoodle (schnauzer- poodle mix. ) I think an older dog can make a good first pet because you don't have to go through the puppy stages of housebreaking, chewing everything, etc.
Don't forget about the choice of putting them down when it comes to it. We didn't have much of a choice and my senior dog (who had a lot of health problems, but managable) was not coming out of his seizure and I'm still bothered by it, till this day because my family pushed me into the decision.
My JRT died last month. 17 years of wonderful memories. I'm not over it yet.
I always thought that too, after my 18 year old passed.. but a lady at the shelter I worked at put it into perspective for me. She said "it's always going to hurt loosing a dog even after only a couple years, but imagine how much more it hurts dying on a concrete floor, alone." And she's right. It was selfish of me to think "I don't want to cry over another dog passing away" but.. that just means the senior dogs I *would* have adopted might now have to die all alone, on a shelter floor or be taken to the back and killed off because shelters are heavily overpopulated
Honestly, we need more selfless people in this world. Imagine yourself as a dog, inside a cage and a cold floor, and because your old no body’s wants to adopt you because “you will die soon enough”. Yeah, eventually you will, alone, on that cold floor, and without a loving family.
So if you are planning on adopting a dog but are nit ready for a puppy, rescue a dog like Miya! Let that dog live it’s last years, months, or even days in a loving home
Stop dude, you're making me depressed.
😭😭👍👍🙏🙏
Yes and sadly young dogs get sick and die too. And can have health issues that cost a lot. Adopting a senior girl was the best thing we ever did. I wish we had decades with her but sadly adopting a puppy doesn't guarantee long either :(
I don't understand why people give up their old pets i mean how could you.
@MMI▶️ did this bot have to speak on such a deep comment-
She looks like my elderly dog, I got him when I was a kid and now I’m almost done with college. I would give anything to give him more time.
We adopted grandma, she lived 11 years in a no kill shelter. She was adopted by another older couple but after a couple of years had to be returned due to the owner's health. I saw her story on Facebook and we took our Shepard/ golden retriever mix to meet her. We brought her home 1 month before fer 14th birthday. She is spoiled totally rotten! And will continue to be showered with toys, soft blankets, and treats until she crosses the rainbow bridge. ❤
I adopted my senior Eeyore when he was 10.5 years old. He's been the absolute best first dog I could ask for. I know mine and my wife's heart will absolutely shatter when this old man crosses the rainbow bridge. But all I can hope is that we're giving him the life he deserves because he had a very very rough life on a hoarding ranch. I love him so very much
❤️🔥
Just love him every day, and remember that any time you leave him, that might be the last time you see him, so be patient.
You are doing the Pupper Overlord's work.
I pray that you will have many years with your boy.
@@vangu2918 Aw, thank you! We're praying for that too!
She has such loving trusting eyes. She looks like she believes people are the greatest thing ever.
Your right, and that makes me sad. For Mia to trust and love people this much she must’ve had a wonderful family before hand.
I've always adopted senior cats from shelters, even if several have needed medical care and long term medications because they deserve to have a proper home for their twilight years. My current cat is 13 and the star of my world.
Senior pets deserve to find love and families whether theyre dogs or cats. Far too many are left in cages for their final years.
This might be weird but I love when you can see senior dogs going grey or white like an older human would. Maya is so cute and I'm glad she was saved so she can live out the rest of her life with love, attention, and treats!
Yes! She is a beautiful gal and thank you for highlighting how amazing senior rescue dogs are ❤️👏🐶
hi rocky! Your amazing
And 1st!
My beagle was a senior rescue. Best choice I’ve ever made for sure. People don’t give these old pups enough credit
Hi rocky!
I have 2 senior rescues, loves of my life! They deserve retirement years full of treats & comfortable beds❤
What a good dog she looks like a lot of fun
She’s gonna shine even more with love and a proper diet. Nutrition is incredible for senior dogs. She’s such a cutie!
Yea, she has puppy eyes 😊
@@nanyanghuayi omg, does she ever! 😍
A proper diet for old dogs is TLC and a rib eye steak. I bought a rib eye a few days ago, grilled it to perfection. Let it rest for 10 minutes, cut it up(it was tender, pink) and fed it to my hounds in pieces. I think my hounds appreciated the flavor.

Me when watching the first video from this channel: "Wow, they have so many products and tools for dog grooming, I never would have guessed"
Me after binge watching every single episode: "I see, I see, she's using the quick drying spray instead of the vinegar solution, that makes sense I guess, now let's see if the Equigroomer or the undercoat rake does the best job for that de-shedding"
whenever something bad happens, I remind myself there are good people in this world
I’ve adopted several over the last 15-20 years. Yes, your time is shorter, and whenever you lose one, it’s pretty sad, but it’s also a beautiful experience since you knew the remaining time they had with you was the best they had. They passed on happy, content, and at peace in a loving home. They weren’t alone, lying on a concrete floor. That, to me, is the most incredible feeling.
Maya is adorable, i would totally adopt a senior pet in the future to give them a good last home.
I find them just as adorable as puppies
Yes
Only more appreciative and less exhausting!
@@m.a.sperry3424 what’s on it-?
@@brainotfound2989 it’s definitely a virus
Senior dogs just have the cutest faces. I love the gray hairs so much, my grandpa's black lab had them all over his face when he was was old. It's just adorable
my dog is 12 and, while he's not as spry as he was 10 years ago, he's still full of life and loves going on daily walks... senior dogs hold a special place in my heart 💖
I love my senior. His person passed away when he was 8 and he ended up in the shelter where I found him. He's now 11 and I have loved being his mom
Seniors dogs are just older puppies, but with an accent of white, people look over them because of a number, forgetting they were once cute puppies, senior dogs deserve love too ❤️
I didn't want to adopt a senior doggie because of severe anxiety when it comes to a dog dying (my precious doggie died at the age of 11 this March), but after watching this video I understood that it's not about me. These senior doggies deserve happiness and I don't want to reject them just because I have personal problems. I'm currently waiting for my preparatory year to be over so that I can get an apartment that allows pets and then I'm adopting a doggie.
My dog's an old boy and I love him[, he's one of the sweetest, friendliest and most playful dogs I've ever known. I can't understand what is wrong with people who get a puppy and get rid of the dog once it gets old, old dogs are just as deserving of love. If I were gonna adopt another dog I'd consider getting an old dog.
@@karmaofteameclipse2380 Just like Ellie said, individual personal problem with fear of death. It is beyond sad& inhumane thing to do 💔
Definitely! I have a senior dog, and although she is getting increasingly more white, she still has the energy and sass that she had when she was younger.
My girl was 7 when I adopted her at a shelter. I had her for 8 wonderful years. She was the best dog I have ever had. It's been 4 years since she passed away and I miss her every day still.
I rescued my cat, Chloe, from Death Row for being too “feral.” They said she’d never be able to be domesticated. It’s been 8 years and she’s 9 now. She’s sitting next to me on her pink pillow after a morning full of playtime and pets.
I’d love to adopt senior pets, but I can’t handle the heartbreak. I’m happy I took a chance on Chloe. Never automatically dismiss an animal, without giving them a chance.
Wow. Dismissing a cat that young as completely hopeless is atrocious. If they were like, 10+ I could at least understand (but not agree with) why people would think that, there is literally an expression about old dogs and new tricks after all, but wow. Just grab some thick gloves, long sleeves and catnip and get to socializing.
Except people..... you can dismiss people quickly
@@CoRLex-jh5vx I don't understand either. I was at the shelter volunteering with my "little sister." and had no intentions of adopting a cat. When I found out she was going to be euthanized the next day, there was no other option.
She was found abused in a hoarding situation. She was a little skittish, went through the garbage can and cupboards for food, and ate fast. Easily solved. It was a bit of a challenge to get her to accept her brother, but he was used to dogs and other cats, and very patient. They eventually developed a close bond.
She's such a lap cat. The cat that was feral is still grieving her brother's loss. He looks for him, and sleeps in his bed and blankets. We were watching a movie when a cat looking exactly like her brother came on the screen and she jumped up pawing at the screen trying to get to him.
@@mmc8539 I deleted my comment because I misread what she wrote. I'm sorry if I upset anyone but please calm down. I understand your anger, I just read it as her adopting a cat of 8-9 years.
@@Rose-bi2rg I’ll delete mine as well I wasn’t mad at all! I was assuming you misread it. I’m sorry if I made it seem that way! I was mad that nobody gave her a chance dismissing her so young. Not mad at you!
This made me cry!
Sending you a hug, friend.
Hello check mark
Me too! Scrubbing away years of who will ever love me, to I am loved!!! :)
Me too:)
I use your music all the time!! You’re amazinf
Love the seniors; as I grow older adopting elderly canine just makes sense. Leisurely strolls, Friday and Saturday night movies. They no longer get to choose what we watch...learned that the hard way. I'm fortunate to have a good friend who is a Vet tech / groomer and my neighbor is my Vet as the elderly come with health related baggage. The old guys and gals are mellow, easily adapt to using the doggy doors and the daily routine. Yes they never live as long as I'd like but regardless if it's 18 months or several years.....we have a great time. Old dogs rock!
Choose what we watch? I feel there’s a story there lol
Thank you. Well done.
@@288theabe Agreed. I love the implication that the big babies were scrolling Netflix and saying "Yes! Peter Rabbit followed by Shawn the Sheep." 😁

"the grinchiest Grinch feet of them all." had me laughing really hard.
No matter how old a dog is they're always a puppy in my eyes. She's such a sweet girl, and deserves a great home. She looks great after her grooming.
The senior animals always find their way to me. 😭 I have such a soft spot for them. I find them so much more tolerable than the springy babies, and they are always so grateful and loving. I've learned something from every senior rescue I've helped. ❤️
I'm so happy for her. She looks like she's enjoying this, too.

@@lovestruckart9089but can't you adopt a doggie and then pay for the training? How does it work?
@@Ellie-gp9dg where i live you have to get a young puppy so it can be trained perfectly for each person meaning no rescue for me
@@lovestruckart9089 They have puppies available for adoption they just go really quickly. I rescued a miniature poodle mix and he’s my service dog, it takes a lot of training and patience but he’s been fantastic. It also helps that he’s super smart and food motivated.
She’s the exact same mix and coloration as my old pup, Teddy. He was just as sweet as Miya is. He lived to be 14, and beat cancer twice. RIP buddy, I miss you.
Not much worse than losing a dog. You don't realise how empty a house can feel once they are gone.
She is lovely! She has the most amazing eyes. We had a pair of labs that lived to 16 & 17. It was extra work but they gave us much more than we gave them I believe. Older dogs are already “programmed “ I’ve been told. They have earned their retirement!
Maya is the "bestest" good girl, such a beautiful, gentle soul, much love to her and kudos to her owners and Vanessa!❤
I actually adopted my cat because she was “aggressive”. She wasn’t old but she was a feisty one and still is. Love her to death. Everyone deserves to be loved. She’s definitely calmed down a lot and when we adopted our second cat she became a definite mom figure for him. I will always adopt❤️
I had that experience as well. I wanted a kitten and none were available at the ASPCA and this cat was going to be put down THAT DAY for being returned twice for attacking children and men. When I realized they were going to literally walk her down that hallway and end her life, it broke my brain is the only way I know how to say what I felt. I think they know they're on death row and her face at that prospect, tearing up, I held her like a baby over my shoulder for hours and she slept right next to me, under the blankets, pressed against the length of my body with just her head sticking out like a human. She was so gorgeous I named her Penelope and she fetched just like a dog would and bring it back to me to throw again for an hour at least a day or longer. I was so very lucky they didn't have kittens that day. I still miss her...excuse me while I go cry....lol...through waterfalls. :)

crying watching these, your channel is a small comfort to me at the moment. I can't see my dogs much and haven't been Able to walk them for over two months because I'm in disabled housing and my fiancee can't live with me. Our one rescue, our male (3 female huskies and a male husky/GSD) has been there for me more than any human ever has.
He was beaten w sticks and overwalled so badly as a.puppy he still has severe anxiety sometimes and panic attack type things but whenever I'm sad, or especially if I cry he will even drop treats to cuddle and kiss me better. He has stopped me mid suicide attempts, he has defended my girlfriend when a drunk man tried it on with her (despite being terrified himself, we had to comfort him for like two days)
He's 6 now, we got him when he was 5months. Id never had my own dog before I met my partner and her dog (Lila, we still have her) was only two.months old. My god.
Dogs are angels on earth and changed me more than you could ever think.
I'm isolated, don't have family (had to cut contact), and it's hard without my fur kids...but I'm holding out for better luck and a sunny winter walk soon. Please 🙏🐺😭
Bless this channel and everybody who understands just how special dogs really are.
Nothing melts my heart like a senior Golden.
The copper color, the white snout, the gentleness that grows from 10/10 to 15/10, and the ability to still do the old Fred Flintstone burnout when the food hits the bowl... Perfection.
The way Maya looked at you during her sauna treatment - so gentle and loving - she's an absolute love and I'm so grateful her people are working to get her a loved and cared for old age and brought her to you for a very much deserved pampering.
She looks like a fox with her fur coloring so adorable^^

We adopted our first dog, an 8 year old treeing walker coonhound, right before the pandemic. We are so in love and it has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Faith has not been easy at times, as she's very timid (to the point where she didn't leave the one room of our house for 14 months even though she has free roam of the place) but watching her become more confident and comfortable and show us love after what I can only imagine was a nightmare at the hands of other humans just absolutely makes my heart swell. She loves visitors now and will lay with me in almost any 4oom I am in now! I will always adopt senior dogs, even if that means we have a shorter time with them, because they deserve to have a happy set of golden years ❤
I have had dogs throughout my life: each one of them passed away in my arms. Never would I abandon my companions.
As someone with a 13 year old standard poodle, it always makes me smile to see someone treating an old dog right.
my dog just turned 11 so we call him "old man" :) pets are just so beautiful, they shouldn't be given up for any reason.
Such a well behaved lady. Bet she feels so much better, didn’t look like she’s had a professional scrub in forever.
The lady groomer is very patient. What she does is not easy, carrying dogs probably heavier than her. She is very sweet. Maya is a good dog, God bless the family who adopted Maya🙏
V: Maya displayed calmness and dignity with today's groom. She looked very content to be rubbed, scrubbed, dried with circulating warm air and also having all that dead undercoat removed. Aren't the owners so lucky to have such a sweet and loving dog? There is a special place in heaven for the compassionate people that welcome senior animals into their homes. God bless em......
this makes me so happy bc i used to have a dog named maya (put down due to cancer) and we rescued a 8-10 year old GSP a few days ago and he’s 40/80 pounds so very very skinny and was in the desert and currently he’s sleeping under a blanket on my bed lol
😘 boo yeet, great pal 👍
😊😊🤗🤗🤗🥰
I rescued a a dog from death a few years ago. I can’t imagine my life without her as of now. She saved me from killing myself by becoming my personal therapist. The good you do always comes back to you. The only bad part about it is that the dogs sit on your lap and give you no privacy. Its safe to say my 40 pound doggo comes into the bathroom with me and breaks open the showerhead causing water to come out. But I love her for who she is.
Lol
What an absolute sweetheart...
I'm still just an apprentice but I'm pretty sure my bosses would allow me to bring a dog to work (if he doesn't bother anyone), so once I have a stable income and enough stability to take care of another living being on my own, I hope to adopt elderly pets
My current adoptee, an Aussie, was 7 when I got her last February. She'd never been trained or even to the vets. She had major fight or flight issues, mostly due to being scared of everything as she'd been an indoor dog for her entire life. With training, she's getting over her issues and is turning into a wonderful, sweet girl. My last dog, a gsd/border collie mix was 10 when I adopted her. She'd been picked as a stray and had been abused through neglect. I was grateful she lived to the ripe age of 18+ years. I'm hoping my current 🐶 will be with me that long, too.
Hello! I want to thank you for bringing awareness to the senior dog community. I work at a kennel which frequents about 65-90 dogs per day. The elderly dogs are my favorite and they always get the most love and patience from our staff. Thank you for bringing them to the spotlight, and I encourage people to adopt senior dogs, and cats. They are wonderful companions and they just want to enjoy the rest of their lives with you!
I adopted my 10yr old miniature pincher the day he was supposed to be euthanized. I love any & all dogs, but senior dogs have a special place in my heart 🧡

I can always immediately tell how a dog is by their eyes....she has the sweetest. Her new mom and dad hit the jackpot. 🥰
Awww she's adorable. My mom is such a huge advocate for adopting older dogs. The last two dogs we adopted were both chow mixes (we had them at separate times). Cosmo was 7 years old. And Beau was, I believe, 10 or 11. Both were absolutely amazing dogs and I miss them both terribly sometimes.
If I would ever get much money I wouldn't buy a big house, big car or something like that...
I would drive around looking for stray and abondend dogs to save them and live with them...
There is nothing more precious than the unconditional love and trust from a dog...
A few years ago I adopted a senior shepherd who'd been waiting almost two years for her forever home. She was an amazing dog and a great blessing. I adored every moment I had with her. Since then I have adopted three more seniors.
If you're toying with the idea of adopting a senior GO FOR IT! I promise you will not regret your decision.
I adopted my 9 year old senior boy Jasper, a Pomeranian x Corgi mix, with a permanent cough from collapsing trachea and other bronchial conditions. He wasn't adopted out for ages and had developed OCD from being so lonely, and yelped every time someone picked him up. But we fell in love with him and when I picked him up for the first time, he didn't yelp. He's now found his forever home and we've had him for 3 years. His vet bills are expensive, but so worth it. He's such an incredible dog. Super fit and active, intelligent, goofy, and so loving. Nothing beats waking up in the early cold morning to a small dog giving light paws on your face asking snuggle up to you under your blanket. He fit right in with our other Pomeranian, Sunny, who we rescued as a pup. I love them so much!! Please give senior dogs a chance!
My wife brought home a cocker spaniel male with one testicals in his abdomen. He cost $1,300. I am so glad she did too because I can’t help but think he would be destroyed or abused if he had went to another family. We love him so much and he is so sweet.
How could anyone overlook such a _sweet_ face? I have in the past adopted two 10-year-old dogs; one stayed with me for 8 years before passing on, the other only lived 5 more years. Despite the heartache, I would do it all over again. ❤️
Yes, all animals and people will die one day; we're not Enoch or Elijah. We've got to accept the fact. Life goes on... so we got to get over our grief and save more lives. I tell myself to keep as healthy as possible so that I can continue to adopt dogs and care for them.
@@nanyanghuayi exactly. To abandon a dog because it will die soon is horrible. To do that to any animal is more than cruel. We need to give them the life they deserve. Pets are responsibility, and that includes their eventual death.
Wise old woofer enjoyed every second of her well deserved pampering.
What a lovely pup. We rescued our 10 year old Lab who came from a hoarding home. Our lovely Tess. All the best to the Maya and her family.
I adopted my 10-12 yr old grandpa doggie four months ago. He lived all his life chained up in front of a factory before he was released by animal rescuers. I then adopted him from their shelter in Romania and he was brought to Germany. He didnt know how to be a dog, trusted no one and nothing, was scared of every little sound, didnt even know what a river was. He was dirty and with years of dead undercoat stuck in his fur combined with all the dirt he got horrible skin, small breaks everywhere, lost whole patches of fur after i combed him because his skin was basically peeling off. Fast forward four months, he is a snuggly, calm boy with a shiny coat and a special interest for people sitting down at the park. He is getting better everyday and even with noticable phases of anxiety and even ehat seems to be occasional flashbacks, he tries his best to be a good boy. And he certainly is. I love him lots.
Shes just a frosty puppy. Shes so pretty. I hope she is living her best life now with her family. She and all other dogs and cats deserve one. ❤❤
I am not a dog owner. Don't particularly care for dogs, but I do enjoy watching the animals being groomed and know that all of God's creatures need to be cared for. I donated to Happy Place because they are providing for neglected and endangered animals and that is so admirable. Keep up the good work!!!
@ Chachee. Thank you your heart is in the right place. Not everyone has the time, space, energy, or inclination to have a dog or cat or any pet for that matter. You do you 😀
@takesone2knowone exactly
Same here. Not a dog person, and dreadfully allergic to cats. Turns out I'm OCD and can't handle the shedding. Adopted a miniature poodle, and she was perfect.
Dog ownership isn't for everyone. You can love them and admire them from afar, and be so thankful they're being well taken care of. Nothing wrong with that. =)
@takesone2knowone The hell? How is it cruel to adopt a senior dog who is in sheer agony and in an absolute mess, spend thousands on them, help them, love them, care for them, and give them a happy end to their days rather than a horrifically painful lonely one?
@takesone2knowone People's mind do change. C'mon, several people who are not a dog person, when allowing a dog to enter their lives, have a turnabout.
I can’t believe she is 11 years old! I’m happy she found a forever home and I’m thankful to the people who adopted her, because of this they have saved her. She will live the rest of her senior life being surrounded by people who love and care about her. She’s such a beautiful girl, I hope she enjoys the rest of her life :)
I adopted 2 older kitties and I am so happy I did!
Maya is a beautiful girl. I'm so glad she found a happy and loving home
Senior dogs are the best! I adopted my pup when he was 9 and he is just a perfect pet who loves to love!
We adopted an older gentleman dog. He was our dream for almost nine years. All dogs go to heaven.
My family adopted a senior black lab who was deaf and blind when I was a teenager. We were told she might live for 6 months because she was so old, but that sweet girl was my baby and she lived for another TWO YEARS. I honestly believe that genuine love is just as important as good care, we loved her every single day she was with us.
My wish is to be a foster family for senior cats and dogs after I retire from my job. I want old dogs and cats to spend the rest of their lives in a cosy and loving house.
That honestly sounds like the best retirement plan
I took in an old rescue dog. He was immediately grateful. Maya has won the lottery.
she's a real beauty, and looks ten years younger after her makeover.
My family never bought a dog. I am 37 years old now and i picked up 6 of them from the street and gave them a home. Three are still alive and i intend to keep filling my home the same way as long as i am able. They made me a better person, each and every one of them had a lesson to teach and while waiting for my firstborn to arrive i can honestly say that the joy these miracles give is the single thing i am most excited to share with him/her.
Take care of yourselves folks, and once you do that fill your life with creatures that deserve a place beside you on that rocking chair.
And be grateful, it is us that receive the greatest gift when we share their company, not the other way around.
Thank you for reading this and i wish you all the best from Norway
She was like an old pro! Go ahead, wash me, dry me, I'll just sit here and take my pamper in hoomanz.. She's such a beautiful soul.
The smile on her beautiful face! She did so well and appeared to thoroughly enjoy herself 💕
I’ll never have enough respect for people who adopt senior dogs. Dogs, no matter the age, are very easy to love. And losing them is so emotionally devastating. My beagle is currently reaching the ripe age of 14. This is a dog I’ve known since birth. I was there when he was born. And every day he gets a little more tired… and a little more of who he was slips away. He doesn’t have much more time and it breaks my heart… knowing he won’t be around much longer.
So immense respect to the people who can love so many good animals.
Dogs don’t choose to be service dogs but they put their lives on the line and work tirelessly. They deserve more respect.
I have a friend who bought an old barn and the land it was on some years back, now it has become the shelter for older animals he has a few old dogs 'pigs goose ducks two swans and chickens 2older donkeys he made also an avionic space where the birds that must heal of some accidents can live on their ease he told me that he never felt so happy when he shows up the morning and each of these animals have like a bond with him and relations he was so surprised to experience how the many animals do really cope and interact and this without any violence or aggressivity he also got a few guanacos and peacocks and turkeys it is becoming like a real little ark of undesired animals it happens so often, and it is sad that people do not realize how much of a obligation and responsibility it is to keep animals, realizing they become adults and need attention, but they keep dropping them once the pet and juvenile stage is over many people do betray these creatures by dropping them, and I am so happy i can help a hand and feel the love and gratitude of my animal friends when I get on path with them, we humans could be living in a paradise if at least we would respect and treat everything right instead of wanting to change nature
This is a beautiful story, thank you.
I just rescued an 8 year old German Shepard and I absolutely love her. She's really bonded with my 3 year old and they are inseparable now.
As someone who has had a senior rescue in the past, and wouldn't hesitate to rescue one again, let me just say, you can't go wrong with a senior rescue. They just seem to have this "I'm just so happy to be here" attitude that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy for the rest of their short little lives. You will never find a more loving and loyal companion than a senior rescue, and they're worth every penny and ounce of effort you put in to their care a thousand fold!
She adored every second of that such a good girl, glad she can live the rest of her life happy and loved.
2:01 She has the cutest smile ! Thanks to her owners for rescuing this cutiepie from being put down. Happy Senior Rescue is such a great concept.
When you said "without further ado" my first thought was "fur- ther" cause I can't stop myself from puns. Maya looks like such a good gal! I am so happy she got rescued. She deserved that pamper
We rescued a 14 year old labrador last july, his master couldnt take care of him due to medical complications. We loved our Joey, he was an exceptional dog. We knew due to his age he wouldnt stay long with us, but we loved him so much. He passed after 2 months and Im crying writing this. Even though his passing was very tough to go through, we dont regret this decision.
Adopt senior dogs, they are amazing and worth every effort
Thanks for helping a sweet senior dog. Just because a dog gets older doesn't mean they lost their purpose. A dog loves you unconditionally and being their for them when they age is so important. Thanks for what you do.
those four people who disliked were probably blinded by the cuteness and clicked wrong
Aweeee! what a cutie! I don’t see why she was put on death row, Here hair looks really fluffy! Thank goodness she was rescued
Dogs can end up on "death row" in the shelters if they are not adopted soon enough. The dogs that are euthanized first are either very sick or aggressive, but even sweet, healthy dogs like Maya can be put down if the shelter runs out of room and she has been there for several months. It's so very sad. That's why I always encourage people to adopt and not shop : )
@@malloryg4251 it really sucks for the sick and aggressive dogs though. My brother's dog was thrown out into the streets by her owners at the age of TWO WEEKS. The reason? Because she was "too small". She got a various amount of diseases but someone thankfully fostered her to health so she wouldn't be put down. We ended up adopting her and she's such a good girl.
I've also known a few dogs with temperament issues that were adopted and turned out to be wonderful family pets, they just needed the time and love.
I feel so horrible for animals that never get the chance to be happy.
Back in first grade I was taken to a rescue shelter as a surprise to pick out a dog. There was a dog no older than 2 that was terrified of me. I was hellbent on her and her only despite being encouraged to leave her be. Over a decade later, she lives her best life with people who love her and plenty of space to run around. She's been with us through horrible moments, and we've helped her through her own. She's the best, I'd never find another like her. She wasn't adopted as a senior, but seeing her get slower and slower every time I return home from college, my heart breaks a little more
My “pandemic pup” was a 12 year old cocker spaniel mix who just passed away at 14. She was deaf, half blind, and covered in skin problems but we loved her so so much
What was her name?

Old dogs deserve a good life. I have had 2 seniors, Lesi who was the love of my life and died at 17 and Bo who we called Puppie, he died this year at 16. I now have one 7 year dog who has heart problems and one big guy with behavioral problems (he is afraid and aggressive towards people), but he is an angel to my family and our many pets (4 🐈). They all deserve a good home and love and they give so much back.
Old dogs are amazing. They have learned so much over the years, so wise and special. People who get rid of old dogs for puppies like they are trading in a for a new car are disgusting. Thank you to all of those who care for the old pups.
