Most dangerous thing you can do… go into a shelter or go to a shelter web page “just to look”. You wind up with a dog! I’ve had a few last resort dogs.

And now, he is the best dog of our lives.

He's been abandoned at a truck stop, lived at a shelter, adopted and returned twice, and lived so long in the shelter. He was labeled a red sticker dog, and we were told no cats, no dogs, and no children for him. We took him home and he is great with other dogs and kids. He has a couple of quirks (he is protective of me), but honestly he is one of the BEST dogs I've ever had.🐾💙

@J E I negatively judge people who own dogs in general. I was attacked by a dog as a child and have developed a general disliking for the creatures. My family has owned many dogs but I do not develop the same level of relationship with them that I do with my cats.

This just popped up in my recommended videos again; and it's like I'm watching it for the first time. I forgot how traumatized this sweet boy was in the beginning. The tears are flowing. He's such a beautiful boy. This is making me wonder if I'm finally ready to bring another canine companion into my life, with all it's uncertainty and lack of direction. Maybe, a dog will adapt to my current lifestyle just as well as I have. Maybe, she'll inspire me to manifest a home of our very own. I'm going to have to start thinking of and meditating on this from the perspective that it is possible. After all, my housemates love dogs too; and it is looking like we might be back down to only one. I don't take the decision lightly. I'd already have a dog in my life again if it were not important to me that I know I can give my dog everything she needs -- a safe environment, time, emergency medical treatment...... I know I can give the love, no doubt about that one. 🤗🤍🐶🐕🤍🤗

We rescued our pit bull Cinnamon from Detroit. She was thrown out of a moving car as a puppy. She was scared of car rides & men. Especially if they wore hats or hoodies. She’d bark & growl & her hair would stand up. She was also very timid & shy coming home too. But after lots of time & lots of loving. She’s a totally different dog. We had a pug that taught her how to dog lol.

Sounds just like my pitbull Ronnie. I hated pitbulls at first, but now she's is my best friend. She had a really hard life. Was found emaciated in an abandoned warehouse and was abused. She's spoiled now and overly loved. She is my shadow and never leaves my side. Thank you for what you did for your dog

A coworker rescued a pitbull that was the "bait dog" for dog fights. She (the dog) is scared of men in hats and hoodies too. Glad your dog was lucky to find you and a loving home.

I love Pitts. Both mine are rescued. Bear was given up at the age of 10 months because he was submissive. Buddy was rescued from a hoarding situation where he was found in a shed that he had been in since 3 months old. He was 13 month old when rescued. Buddy had to be potty trained and learn everything. He's an exceptional dog. They are, and they both are my boys. So, from sleeping in a shed to sleeping on my bed, ....he's got it pretty good now.

We adopted our Great Dane/Mastiff mix, Ziva, from the shelter on post when we were stationed in Louisiana 7 years ago. She knew how to be a dog but because the only family she’d known left her behind, she wasn’t ready to completely trust us. I had just had a baby and we had just gotten our Great Dane puppy Leonidas from the breeder (about a month or two before getting her) but I was determined not to let her stay there, I couldn’t stand the thought and she was HUGE (I love big dogs…like really big dogs), literally the biggest sweetheart you’d ever meet, came from a family with children and was raised with kids. Shelter dogs are so special!! Pollux seems like such a sweetheart and I’m super late but I can’t wait to catch up on his adventures and see how he grows and comes into his inner doggie! Thank you for sharing this journey! 400+ days is so sad! I was distraught by how long Ziva was there (and it definitely wasn’t THAT long)!

We took on a dog who had been in the local dog rescue centre for nearly two years, nobody wanted her because she had health problems, but she turned into the most faithful friend for over 16 years and repaid every moment and the money spent on her care with love and devotion.

Oh my! I saw Pollux at an adoption event at Pet Smart! I wanted to take him home but I recognized how tightly wound and fearful he was and did not think I had the skills to handle him and I already have 2 big dogs. My heart broke for him. I am so glad to hear that someone finally gave him a chance. If he is part border collie you can connect with him during play time. Maybe eventually he will play ball with you. I had 2 border collies in the past and they are non-stop energy. That may explain why Pollux is not well adjusted. He was not abused at the shelter but he did not have enough avenues to express his high energy so it turned inward into fear and anxiety. Those walks you take him on are therapeutic. Keep it up. I am cheering for you and for Pollux! THANKS for sharing!

Oh Debra!!!! Pollux has transformed into the sweetest boy...and in just the few days we've had him. He still does have a lot of energy but he's using it to play with our other dog and chew on toys. We're going on long walks every day and he is getting used to the sounds in our house. Every morning, he wakes up better than the day before. I'm glad to know you saw him and all was well. We are loving every minute with him!

Such a beautiful dog. What a blessing for you, your family and the pup. He looks kinda of like one of my rescues that I had genetic testing done and he was Border Collie and Pit mix. I rescued a dog 7 years ago and he is still scared of things that move, balloons, a garbage bag or even if I just pick up a towel. He doesn’t like loud noises either. But he loves me, has never been destructive of anything in my home or even in the yard. Wishing you all the best.
