  • This giant St. Bernard was emaciated and has really bad skin 🥺 because the owner neglected him. Thanks to our Sponsor Furbo and the Furbo for Good fund that works with shelters to bring happiness to animals by providing meals, shelter, training, and more: hello.furbo.co...

    Notice when Penny is being playful with the older dog how she actively avoids touching the child. That was 100% an active decision not to knock the child over. I would have adopted right there. Thats so unbelievably hard to train.

      Yes, and she will probably learn pretty quickly what the senior dog's limits are. I have a senior and just added a german shepherd cross to my family. One of the reasons I'm keeping him is because of how well he plays with my senior with mobility issues. He will go all out with other younger dogs, but just plays bity face with my senior (who is very happy to play, just if someone is too rough he hurts).

      Absolutely and we should not forget that most dogs in shelters have pent-up energy/tension. I think it's normal and understandable that they are more active/energized when playing or interacting with another dog. Therefore, we should not assume it´s her natural energy level and that she will be that way once she settled down in a new home.

    • @perryunicorn1538

    That female long coat German Shepherd is beautiful. And perfect. I wish her the best! It really breaks my heart to hear that there are so many gsds in the shelter, I've had them since I was a baby, I'm now 63. The very traits that make them so popular are the same traits that make them hard to adopt. They are loyal to their owners and protective of them. Please don't take your German Shepherd to a shelter, it's almost a guaranteed death. There are rescue organizations all across the country, take the time to find one or even post an ad for them. They would do it for you...

      I absolutely get your point and admire it. But I think there are situations where it is simply in the interest of the animal to return it/give it into another care/home. There are situations where it is just selfish to keep it, rather than let it have the best opportunities and home possible.

Love conquers all!
      You may have been too slow this time, so fight back! Do enough research now, so that if you feel attracted to another animal you will know enough to set an adoption in motion while you deal with the specific details relevant to the animal that has taken your heart.

In addition to GSDs, there was a time you wouldn't see Shar-Peis and St. Bernards in the shelter. Not so anymore, but this one's surely better off in a new home.

It’s never about how him, it is always about what he can do to help the shelters and rescues in his area find foster homes and adopters. I’m sure just him setting a good example has made a widespread impact, let alone how many dogs have found homes because he helped get the word out and helped calm their reactionary behaviors.

    To the people who adopted Luna before saying "keep her" they need to be taken off the adoption list and be blacklisted! That poor St. Bernard! She was skin & bones! And before ANYONE comes for me saying "maybe they didn't know how much to feed her" yada yada, I call BS! Everyone should know this! Smmfh! 🤬🤦🏼‍♀️🤬🤦🏼‍♀️

    It strikes me that shelters should have some trained volunteers that teach adopters some things about dog psychology/handling because I feel a many families may often get in over their heads with regards to dog handling, which could be allayed with some knowledge and training.

    I have adopted many dogs and many cats. I currently have two dogs and four cats. I have made provisions for them if something happens to me. They are with me for life through cancer, renal disease, cardiac, idiopathic neuropathy, hyperthyroidism, 3 legged, deaf, one eye. it doesn't matter. I know they would never give up on and I would never give up on them. Be from a shelter or as a stray they will never ever be without.

    I get emotional I watch this videos for two drastically. Different reasons. One reason is to see all these beautiful dogs in the shelter dogs who did nothing wrong waiting for someone to come and love them and bring them home. The other reason I get emotional and literally start crying is when these beautiful babies find their forever home and get adopted.

    I adopted a shelter dog 4 months ago. She’s so adorable and gets along with my little chihuahua. I think she’s a chihuahua, boston terrier mix. She does have small seizures every now and then. I give her CBD oil and both get homemade meals and vitamins. I love my babies and now I’m retired and spend all my time with them. I named her Chloe and they say she’s about 8 years old.

      I think we all would. It reminds me of an old Popeye cartoon where Popeye freed all the animals from their pet store cages only to see Bluto as the dog catcher pick them all up off the streets in his truck to take them to the shelter. Naturally, Popeye rescued them all and got them safely back into their pet store cages. It was heartwarming to watch as a kid and still is today.

    Penny made me remember my dog that died a few years ago, was my companion, friend and son, I helped him when Channel gave birth, him was one of the ones that I saved and wasn't breathing when did born. I cry a bit when I remember him my Snoopy I hope that is in a better place. I miss him so much, and the new pup is helping healing that scars together with my rescued cat that someone did abndoned outside my fence injured in the paws. I have 2 dogs and two cats both rescued and healed by me now they are big and strong. Give love and take care of your 4 pawed friends they give so much uncondicional love and we should give love too until the last breath and know that we did the best for them. And that husky in the next cage of Penny omg I would travel to get that pupper if I had money and lived close(I don't want him to suffer a travel of several hours to azores and that can stress the poor pup) I hope him found a family that deserves him.
