Well, many kill shelters actually have no problem euthanizing, even when they have space. One I often foster dogs from in NM has a director famous for saying 'I'm not running a hotel'. Really depends on the shelter. But yeah... until there are real consequences for breeding and spay and neuter legislation, the situation is dire, unfair and inexcusable. Humans are incredibly selfish.

Yes but Riverside is very high kill. So many never make it out of there.

Yes. Lyk if you cant take care of your dogs forever, better not have a dog forever.

Yes they are the problem.

@@JJacks920 because its necessary so the others can virtue signal.

That's a beautiful story and thank you for saving that dog

Awww! That was a lovely share. Good for you. And the fortunate girl.

❤🙏🤗🐶

My dog spent 11 years with pyometra and its gotten worse and other stuff.

Why wouldn’t they let you have her immediately if no one else wanted her?

She is a beautiful dog. And seems well mannered. They need to give dogs like that much more time. All the time in their natural lives

Thank You for saving them.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bless you.

How are you managing with so many?!, I’m asking because one day I want to do the same thing!!

Countries like America and Canada are nowhere near as civilized as their propaganda makes them out to be.

kill shelters are actually very important. it helps with overcrowding and overpopulation. a lot of the times the dogs on red lists are good dogs but have many issues like reactivity, health issues, and trauma.

@@elleelle4591 do any of these points apply to the dog in this video that was supposed to be put down? Anyway it’s no solution to the real problem in my opinion. The country needs to do something about uncontrollable breeding and reckless ownership of dogs. Something like a dog license has helped in others countries.

I agree with you completely, but we are in country that is a wee bit bigger than yours. Another problem I noticed is that most shelters require the adopter to have a fenced yard. Breeders don't. I've had dogs most of my life with no fence and no problem other than you need to supervise them outdoors rather than just letting them out and any dog that's "a runner" would need to be leashed.

@@elleelle4591 that's evil. No dog except the ones on their last legs have "issues" that would warrant the death sentence. if those shelters attempted euthanasia crimes in most European countries and even in India they would be prosecuted.

She was just picking up a dog for someone else. She didn't adopt the dog for herself.

​@@AlBundyy Yes, I mean volunteering and helping her friend get her fur baby.❤❤❤

@@ani9603 actually that's how a lot of pet parents grief...I've worked at the shelters for years and majority of the new volunteers are pet owners who just lost their pets..also the same reason I started to volunteer because I lost my cat of 18 years from cancer. I wasn't ready to adopt another animal again but wanted to help out other animals to fill the void.

@@rubiirae I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for your service for the animals.❤️❤️

@@ani9603 It's the least I can do, the animals at the shelter really helped me heal too. They're honestly the sweetest, hope more people are willing to provide them with a safe, loving home ❤

Me too😢 breaks my heart man.

Yes, & very Nice, Beautiful Dogs!!-

I just hope we stop selfishly putting more pets into the world than we can give a good life.

@@emma_maze yes it is very true

They will if inflation doesn't kick in and people keeo loosing jobs where vet bills and food costs are high

ngl this comment is kinda weird... like... the dog needs to be "beautiful" (whatever thats means for a dog) in order to be adopted by you? or something like that

@@ahzigosthat’s not what they said they said some of them were beautiful, they never said they wouldn’t adopt an animal they didn’t consider beautiful

@@ahzigos not what i said AT ALL no idea how you got that. I commented of how beautiful those dogs were and then continued with another statement. don't even know why you replied like how the actual hell did you get that from "I wish I could get more dogs from shelters but I already have a lot of animals. Poor babies deserve homes." The last part refers to how shelter dogs need homes. hope this helps

​@@loveisaiahxoxo But you said "some"!

@@meghasinghaniahmu I did say that but that isn't what we're talking about. learn to fucking read.

You are an angel...I do rescue and adoptions(30 years) and I wish more people were as enlightened as you are. I wish you well.

Did they get along, did you get bitten at all/ get a trainer?

@@Yeewen88 hey , yep. I spent 1 week for acclimating. And that was enough for the integration. Ow, and never miss a little walks on my street.

Every little bit helps - Former Vegan

I agree🎉

I’m vegan and have dogs and cats, cats are obligate carnivores. I feed accordingly, I even cook chicken 😭 for my girl Jojo when she is sick. If they say I’m no vegan because of this then that is their issue. I’m just trying to do the best I can. And do the least harm.

I mean, dogs aren't vegan

So true

Absolutely adore German Shepherds. I adopted Wylfen five years ago - we've never looked back. Thank you for adopting ❣️

May they rest in peace🙏

Give her a kiss 💋

Arnt they just simply the best❤❤❤

No just adopt. When there are animals that need homes, it's unkind to shop for animals.

@@starcatcher3691 it’s not just “shopping” for animals. Real breeders don’t get any profit- their point is to populate well bred healthy and emotionally stable dogs

@@agneseozolina1380 Shelter dogs are mostly stable dogs! They just need stablrme humans and life to be so! Love, trust and respect

@@starcatcher3691 still getting a dog from a shelter is unpredictable, but a breeder can predict the puppy and find the best owners. Shelter dogs are way different in a home than in a shelter and not everyone is responsible and smart enough and can afford to get a shelter dog.

@@agneseozolina1380🙄 99% do it for money. they don't do home checks or follow ups and half their puppies end up back in a shelter pure breed or not.

Exactly and there needs to be rules for having dogs!

Yeah California is insane It's just as bad as the shelters down south. It's because I don't prosecute animal abusers and yes plenty of them don't spay and neuter animals and they just let people go back in and adopt animals that constantly drop them off even if there have been abused or starved etc etc It's pretty gross

California is over run by liberal politicians that have destroyed the state with their policies. High crime, high poverty, illegals and homeless everywhere, drugs running rampant. Gang violence, criminals running free in the streets. These are the exact ghetto environments that perpetuate animal and child abuse.

THIS!!!!

Texas is really bad too… Every day they are euthanizing pregnant dogs, pregnant cats, puppies, and kittens… A shelter in Houston just euthanized, six newborn puppies and their mom because there aren’t enough homes for them, and people are too stupid to get their animals fixed

I have never heard of this documentary. I'm watching it now though.

HBO is DEEP STATE … I totally understand … DONT WATCH

I can tell you ONE THING: I´LL NEVER WATCH THAT DOCUMENTARY. Like, NEVER, EVER. If I did, ¡¡I´d probably be like 3 months, or so, completely overwhelmed with sadness!!

Yep, we should all be pushing for stricter laws concerning animals… Such as mandatory spaying and neutering, and only licensed breeders should be allowed to breed

@@truthbetold4350 Those LAWS are already IMPLEMENTED IN SPAIN. [Bear in mind, I´m NOT bragging about it. I´m NOT even saying whether I agree, or not, with them, ¿ok? I´m ONLY GIVING THE INFORMATION].

I think one of the issues doing this in America is the lawsuits. Big stores won't have untrained animals (especially dogs) in them for fear of getting sued. Small businesses such as independent pet stores may be more likely. I think if you live someplace with good weather, you may be able to organize an outdoor adoption event in an area of a grocery store parking lot.

Impulse adopting is not good, if people want to adopt they can make an effort to do so. You shouldn’t be able to get a dog while you are buying a carton of milk. Dogs are a big life changing decision, hence why so many are GIVEN UP. People don’t know how much work it is. They think it’s like the 5 second videos in tic tok or the well trained dogs that are in the movies. They are also expensive, there are a lot of factors you need to consider before getting an animal. (This is coming from someone who is a dog lover and dog owner. My life changed significantly since having a dog, and I am happy for it. But for some people the changes could be too much. Potty training, going for walks, going out to play, finding someone to watch your dog while you go out of town or finding a way to also take your dog. Feeding, buying toys etc. all this costs time and money. As I said I am more than happy to do this and more. If my dog can’t go with me somewhere then I’m not going, I haven’t seen a movie at the movie theater in 5 years. My dog makes me happy. But do not assume others think this way.)

You can adopt at Petco. 🤷 Cat cafes and lounges in the US such as Crumbs & Whiskers and CatCafe Lounge in LA also tend to be run by rescues, so if you like a cat at a cafe you can bring a rescue cat home right there.

Yeah. In turkey animals walk free. Can ride on public transportation. Everyone loves them no one abuses them.

😢for no reason

Omg I'm constantly watching the riverside, San Jacinto, and thousand palms shelters. The stories of some of these dogs breaks my heart. Although I did read somewhere it's around $200 to give up a dog, tho some are brought in as found dogs. There should really be something done, there's so many 🥺 and a lot of people who get dogs without understanding their needs, especially puppies that they have no patience to train

Bless you.

“They have to abide by the law and put them down “. I wonder who made this law?

Clap 👏 ❤ wonderful !

THANK YOU FOR ADOPTING NOT SHOPPING🐾🍀🐕💜💯🤩⭐️⭐️👏🏻🌸💛😇👌🏼👍🏻🎁🥰💙🦋🌷🙏🏻❣️❤️🎈🐾

I'm scared of dogs because of a past accident when i had as a kid, but i've always wanted to face my fear by volunteering at a dog sheltet so i might also actually do it ☺️ i hope yo find a place nearby me

The entire area, sadly. Riverside, Hemet/San jacinto, and thousand palms are constantly overloaded and red listing dogs as soon as they enter.

You are a wonderful person I hope you know that

So many cats as well 😭

​@@sarahjane4772one of the Facebook groups I follow (Coachella valley) posted that they will no longer accept stray cats. they're considered community cats and the San Jacinto shelter has a working cat section. They want to focus on cats that need rehoming, not street cats. I read comments that either support this or are against. I see both sides. Wish more people knew about the trap/release programs to help reduce populations. I remember a McDonald's in Riverside that had a colony in the parking lost when you went there after midnight. I counted at least 30 cats

Weylie didn’t adopt her. She was helping a friend whose at New Jersey adopt the dog.

The thing with reputable breeders is that those have a higher chance of not ending up in a shelter or pound. They are mircochipped with the breeders information so if the owner can’t take them anymore or something happens to the current owner the breeder can take them back. People choose to buy a dog from a breeder for temperament, lifestyle and they know exactly what they are getting into. People who adopt shelter dogs are *hopefully* willing to put in the time and energy for a dog with unknown behavior history and train them. Otherwise a dog that is trained, housebroken and is already desensitized, especially around kids is more likely to come from a breeder. Also health issues can be mitigated somewhat from purebred dogs while shelter dogs you have no idea the health history. There is nothing wrong with anyone doing any of these things as long as they are able to do so responsibly.

I totally agree with you! We could solve this so easily IF we STOP BUYING dogs, even just for a few years! Get all of the needy dogs adopted and then go from there. But we can't seem to be responsible or caring enough. Two educated family members BOUGHT big dogs and I am very disappointed in them. It is a selfish act.

@@TheAuthor8808 I am sorry, I do not think this is true. One rescuer said the worst dog parents BUY their animals! And they end up in the shelters all of the time. BS on the temperament excuse as well. Rescues get to know the dogs and know the temperament to help you choose an appropriate dog. I have adopted ONLY rescues and there is nothing wrong with them! I had a little poodle who was abandoned on the street. When we first met her she growled fierce but she stopped once she realized she was safe. She had "trauma" but she ended up being an angel. It didn't permanently damage her. I have an adopted dog now who was a downtown LA homeless person's pet. She lived in a van with feces and urine and her hair grew out long and tangled. She lived this way for years. She is with me now and is a very good girl now despite all of the trauma. Breeders don't necessarily create better dogs, that is a false assumption. YES there is something vERY wrong with breeding dogs into the world when so many good dogs need homes. It's selfish and causes suffering to dogs as a whole. People who truly care about dogs would never do that. Stop the lies, please.

I disagree. I think healthy breeds are important to keep around otherwise we wouldn't have service dogs.

@@starcatcher3691 When you pay shelter or adoption fees or fees of any kind, that is called a transaction. Even when you are rescuing or adopting, the moment they ask for payment or money, you buy that animal. Breeders create better dogs, and that is the whole point of breeding. The entire argument would be mute if any dog could do any job. Golden retrievers are not naturally aggressive like a Cane Corse might be. A chihuahua does not have enough nose receptors to smell out cancer cells like labradors and border collies can. No rancher will use a poodle to herd 1200-2000lb cattle across the American plains. All dogs have a job. Some dogs are better at that job than others. Dog breeds are like computers. If you want to play heavy CPU processing games, you get a gaming PC, not a Chrome book, and vice versa. Shaming people for not adopting or rescuing because they do not want to adopt or rescue is unfair and dumb. You have to remember that people are dumb and only think about things so far. Rarely does someone take the time to research an animal; they want to see if it will fit their lifestyle before going to a shelter and just picking up an animal. Most people don't want an animal with unknown history or little training so they'll go to a breeder where they'll learn everything and can even pay extra for that animal to come trained.

It will always be a cycle if people keep turning their animals in. Not every shelter dog is from the streets, a lot are originally from pet stores and breeders

Breed dogs usually go to a forever home if they are given to the owner as a puppy

@@CharlotteBrandon-fk1ry I’d think it would depend on the breed. Like Gsd’s and pits so commonly get sent to shelters bc the ppl who bought them couldn’t handle them or didn’t train them, resulting in bad behavior

That's just messed up, if it wasn't for breeders our working dogs wouldn't be here, my service dog included, and dogs would go extinct... there would be no such thing as a husky, or any other distinct breed anymore, all of the dogs left would be mutts with bad hips, bad behaviors, and no health guarantee.. ethical breeders exist, the real problem is we don't have a law stating you have to train your dog, and we don't have income based dog adoption or purchasing laws, background checks also aren't ran, the majority of dogs are surrendered due to super simple issues like bad behavior, or someome not being able to afford a dog, or someome has abusive tendencies, breeders that actually are good at what they do, charge usually thousands for their dogs, run health testing, genetic testing, and don't just give their dogs to anyone buying, some even make the new owner sign a contract stating they have to get x y and z done in order to keep the dog, some even do trial fosters to see if the dog is fit for the home, breeders definitely have their place, they aren't the problem,

I totally agree
