This made me cry, it is incredible that there are people out there like Valerie who dedicate their lives to showing love to the forgotten and most vulnerable ones.

If I were a rich man, this is where I would donate. How many broken hearts has she fixed, and how many has she had to get through , of her own. She's my hero.

This woman is larger than life. I love how the dogs are free to roam, relax, play however each of their personalities prefer

This woman is an angel living among us! Giving all these dogs hope and love. We need more people like her in the world ❤️❤️❤️

You know someone's a legend when she saves that many dogs and gives them their own rooms! Amazing

It really got me when she said that the dogs can realize “I’m still loved”... very moving. What a wonderful place. I would love to create a life like that for doggos!!! 🥰💕

The Great Dane had that toy, the whole time. So sweet. Made my heart melt when she said "after they eat they can go do whatever they want". Amazing.

So heartwarming. It's incredible that there are places like this out there. I haven't heard of a hospice for senior dogs before, but this should be a widespread service.

She has the largest royal suite booked for her in the heavens along with her puppies.

The cleanliness and care these senior dogs receive is impressive. They are clearly happy and healthy.

Whispering Willows needs it’s own KZfaq channel. Some live footage. A story on the personality of each dog. A day in the life. Video on breakfast another on dinner. Etc…. I would watch every single video and so would many others. I think it would be a hugely successful way for Valerie and the team to make money.

This is incredible. She's got a huge heart.

I have SO MUCH respect for this woman, every single human should be like her and think abt animals like this.

Everyone, I give you: The hero the world deserves and the one we didn’t know we needed! May all our seniors of every species get to have as comfortable of a living as these beautiful souls! ❤️ 😭 🐶

This must be incredibly hard and incredibly rewarding. God Bless Valerie!

You’re literally living my dream job. Not just for seniors but to have a sanctuary as well for any dog in need. Such an amazing thing you are able to do for those fur babies in they’re last years or moments. You can tell how truly great full they are. 🥰🥰

This wonderful woman has created a convalescent home for senior dogs.

Obviously This woman has a special calling on her life with these older babies! I wish I could do that. My heart would break every time one of them passed on. I’m so grateful for people like her. ❤️

What a beautiful and special place! Special people caring for special animals.

This is a ‘next level’ dog person! But how lovely to care for the seniors. Simply wonderful

Oh my goodness, this woman is a saint. Loving all those precious babies and taking care of them. What a beautiful place for an older pupper.

The fact the senior dogs can get so much exercise and freedom is amazing as well. 5 acres fenced in wow!

This lady deserves more recognition. Hopefully they'll expand and create more chapters in different cities.

This is so beautiful, there's no rules on what breed is allowed, just old dogs that needs help. Youre a hero Valerie!

This lady is a saint. Takin' care of All the lil Nana's an granddad's. So sweet 💕

This is inspiring. Maybe I’ll retire from the tech world and adopt a thousand old cats. She’s got the dogs covered. ❤️

There should be more love and humane treatment of senior animals like this lady is giving 😢 ❤️. A big thank you to her ❤️

This is so enlightening to hear of a place that cares for the pets of folks in hospice. It’s something that no one thinks about but so vital.

This made me cry. Seeing these dogs enjoying all the spoils of their final chapters is just unbelievably touching.

What a beautiful Human being. WE should all aspire to be like her. imagine how much better the world would be if we did.

This lady is my hero. Perfect human being who truly care about these beautiful animals.

I love senior animals. This farm is doing God’s work.

I don't often comment but this really touched me, I took on a 17 year old cat because he needed to be loved again, he was so desperate to get out of where, we called Mr Albert's who I loved dearly he passed just before he was 20 and he lived a very happy life in that time and for you guys to do this for all these doggys is truly absolutely amazing, I love you

This is seriously my dream, I want to make a rescue for senior dogs just like this where they can live out their days in peace and with lots of love and treats

I rescued a senior dog from the Humane Society. They tried to stop me and wanted me to get a puppy but I knew they planned to put him down. I felt that he was a senior and so am I therefore we could take care of each other. That was 4 years ago and we are still together. He is in my bed fast asleep right now. I just love spoiling him. It makes me so happy. 🤗❤️🐕🐶

What a wonderful woman… a hero indeed. 💯.

Some ppl defo taking things to the next level. This lady should be awarded for what she does. We adopted an 11yr old JackRussel Mix 2 yrs ago. She was for almost a year in the shelter since no one would adopt her. Older dogs are always overlooked. Most ppl just want a cute puppy. How ever older/senior dogs have so much to give.Every morning when my wife and i wake up she is at the bottom next to our bed. Wagging her tail and awaits her morning belly rubs. Shes the most wonderful and loving dog.

I usually don't comment but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this. I hope this woman and all the people that help get everything she wants in the world and even more! You deserve the world for this. Your heart is beautiful!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL!

I repeat my previous comment this Lady is an angel , she does a huge work whith this association ! Beautiful human being !

They're all so cute and able to enjoy their golden years together! Senior dogs are the best, they'll forever be the young pup at heart♥♥♥ I wish the best for her and everyone at Whispering Willows.

These are types of people that I always hope hit the lotto because people that kind and selfless are the people that deserve it the most, bless her!!

I've been wanting to do this for cats and dogs. I rescue cats who have been abandoned and, or abused, but I really want to do much more. There's such a need for a retirement, hospice facility, but I haven't the financial means. This woman is marvellous. Many, many thanks.

What a woman. Kudos also to her husband for not preventing her from fulfilling her dedicated dream. Bravo 👍👏💕

“They’re all puppies at heart.”♥️🐶😭 Thank you Valerie! A real earthly angel 😇

I have always dreamed of having a place like this, I never knew one existed. This made my day knowing someone is helping these sweet, elderly dogs who lost their homes thru no fault of their own. May God bless this woman & all her helpers❤

Crying!! Truly and angel. A million “thank yous,” wouldn’t be enough for what this woman & her staff do for those lovable seniors.

Bless Valerie and Whispering Willow for everything they do for senior dogs. ❤️💯💯

"They are not ours to hold onto." A philosophy of love and acceptance. Thank you.

With that many dogs I was really impressed with how clean the facility is. I did not see feces or matted dogs. This is most impressive what this woman is doing. I realize many probably lost their owners due to death or health issues. Many however were probably rejected just because they got old. So sad. I've kept all my animals until their death except one which was a chinchilla. I found him a very loving home with another chinchilla. I just didn't have time for him at the time and I've had many animals. So wonderful what this woman is doing. ❤

A god send. There are thousands of un wanted dogs everywhere. We need more people just like Valerie.. and yes, I’m crying

I'm.sure this is what makes our lord smile.....praises to God...thank u good people.. the lord knows who u are.

I’m actually getting tearful watching this! God bless this wonderful woman!

I love this. That is my plan after I retire is to foster seniors and hospice.....this just warms my heart.

All i have to say is there is a huge room in heaven waiting for you and your husband and everyone involved god bless all these special dogs thank you a million times ❤️🙏🐶

Ok, I'm crying now. Thank you for all that you do for these senior pups. You have given them love and so much more. Thank you for all that you do for them and for giving them a place that they know they are loved to be pups again. ❤😇

Senior dogs are the best dogs. They are like our grandpas and grandmas

ABSOLUTELY One of the Most Beautiful DoDos I've ever seen. What a gift and treasure this woman and place is. Animals DO need a place to live out their lives too. What a Gift. It also shows how dogs need other dogs--they need a pack for love and comfort. They really do.

Oh my gosh, that Great Dane that carried around his/her favorite teddy in their mouth everywhere was so adorable.

Trust me, dogs are very special, they are treasure from Heaven. God bless this lady.

This woman is a true hero! She has my greatest respect. If and when I rescue again, I would like to rescue a couple of senior dogs.

That would be my dream when I retire, to build a nice animal shelter like that for dogs and cats of all ages and give them a nice home where they can live peacefully with dignity and where they can just enjoy themselves, chill and relax. God bless this woman and her husband for helping these precious furry creatures during their golden years.

Valerie is a shining diamond of humanity and compassion. I am deeply grateful that these dogs can enjoy the love, affection, food, clean water, and a good home. This woman is an angel and a gift to mankind!

Humans are very selfish and cruel. They just don't bother about dogs lying on the roads.Thank you so much for giving these dogs love,life and happiness. God bless you with abundance of all good things in life.

All of the dogs are so lucky because they lady who saved them all gave them a really good life. I'm really glad she saved them all and I hope they have the best life all together! 😊

Unbelievable, god bless you and your lovely dogs.🙏🏿

Wow, I have no words other than this woman and her husband and staff are amazing. God bless them all

Bravo to this lady..she is one of God's angels in human form.. these senior dogs.. all deserve love.. alot of people would just abandon them or leave them at shelters.. its sad.. because they still have alot of love to give..

I recently lost my dog of 15 years at the end of last month. My mother and I adopted him when I was 4 years old and now I'm a college student. We went through a lot of hardship together but the last few years of his life were stable and full of love. It warms my heart to see so many senior dogs loved and taken care of because that's when they need us the most, to know that they have someome who loves them and all of their needs taken care of before they pass on. Bless these people for what they do.

This is the best dodo yet….seeing all the senior dogs happy and well cared for warms the heart. Our Gigi is 15 now and takes extra care, seeing you with the seniors is a blessing. Thank you for being selfless and noticing these gentle old souls.

You are their angel for taking them in, loving them, letting them all be together as a family as they age. Completely wonderful!

Whispering Willows has been able to offer full time care for over 600 senior dogs. Over 550 of those seniors have passed over the Rainbow Bridge, with love being whispered until their last breath.

This woman is a hero and an angel, saving old dogs is a true action of love . Hat off for this astonishing Lady !!!

Man did I ugly cry watching this. She is living my dream, the most heart breaking thing about adoption is all the old babies that are forgot or their owners died they deserve all the love too. I’ve had my Mr.Bean for 10 years and I’m pretty sure his previous owner died and I couldn’t imagine my life with out him.

Woman like her make me believe in humanity. Thank you from my 💜 for everything you do for this little souls on Earth 🌎.

I can't imagine picking up after 850 dogs. She has amazing determination and patience.

This made me cry! 😭 What a beautiful soul she is. A lot of senior dogs get forgotten and abandoned, good on her for providing them care into their golden years ❤️

If I win the lottery, this is what I want to do! ♥️

This has me tearing up so bad. I would love to do this for senior dogs, or any dog in general. This woman and the workers are the best!!!

I'm going to rant here for a moment . Please bear with me . You my dear woman are an absolute angel. A saint. I don't know if you believe in karma or heaven or whatever, but you definitely got a buttload of good karma coming your way! All those senior puppies that you're taking care of that no one else would, well I'm sitting here with tears of happiness in my eyes. You are amazing. God bless you sweetie. Is there a website or charity or something that I could donate to to help with the upkeep of all those pups? I'm going to say it, I love you, you are my idol.

This was one of the most epic stories at The Dodo. I am happy that this place exists and how dedicated they all are there. This place would make me happy too. All those cute and thankful little angels. I am just like how do they do it? It must cost a fortune. A place like that is so important. I once sat at a vet with my dad and our sick family dog. A woman came in with an elderly lady dog. I was eighteen at the time but the female dog was 19. Her owner had died that night of old age and sickness and the dog was now left behind. The neighbor brought the female dog, who was already sick, to the vet to let her put down to spare her to have to go to a shelter in her old age. But the dog seemed still to be somewhat okay, so that they all were not happy about that decision. If this place here had been there that cute dog could have gone there. It was a Dalmatian and for me it was impressive to meet a dog who was older than me at that age. They put her down in the end cause she was sick too but we all felt bad sad about it. To put such a dog down. I think the owner would have cried her heart out about it. To get a dog to be that old means that you have been a good owner to them. It was just sad.

This woman, to me, is a super hero. All she needs is a cape. She's given herr entire life to being a loving caregiver to dogs who are in the final stages of life. I think she is the greatest of the great. May you get back as much as you have given. 💝🤗.

Wow. There cant be too many jobs that are more heart wrenching than maintaining a hospice for dogs.

You folks are truly doing God's work, allowing these precious creatures to feel loved and cared for at the end of their lives. It humbles me. I'm going to have to donate.

WHAT A GREAT LADY TO TAKE CARE OF SO MANY ADULT DOGS! A REAL HERO

Love this lady.She will have her own rainbow bridge and saved fur babies in heaven!

She will be remembered Forever ♥️♥️♥️ kind gentle loving lady saved many loyal human soulmates 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 GOD BLESS U n all dogs ♥️♥️♥️✝️

GOD LOVES THIS,CARING FOR HIS LITTLE CREATURES....YOUR REWARD WILL BE GREAT IN THIS LIFE AND FOREVER,SWEET LADY.❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

She is the most beautiful human I have ever seen. What a heart of gold ❤️🐕🐶🐾🐩🐕‍🦺🌭🦴

The place looks clean and dogs are definitely loved and cared. I solute you for focusing seniors. I have had 17 year old dogs, in addition to illness they often have vision, hearing, dental problem that require special care; and say goodbye to them is so hard. You are an angel.

This woman is an absolute angel.

I haven't cried at a Dodo video in a while but Valerie's love for these dogs touched my heart. Bless people with this level of compassion for animals.

I have a 14yr old German Shepherd that's been with me since he was 6 weeks old and he'll be with me till the end. Hopefully, that's still years away. He's still healthy, but he's an old boy and I knew what I was getting into when I got him. Anyone that takes on the care and responsibility for so many of these elder angels is a saint. It breaks my heart to think of my old boy being gone. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that on a much larger scale. She may only have these dogs a short time, but I bet she loves them all like she's raised them their whole lives.

This woman is such a treasure to the Human Race as well as the Dog Race! I love her with all my heart and soul. May Valerie live long and prosper!

**I CANNOT "THANK YOU" ENOUGH!! FOR WHAT YOU DO, MY FRIEND!! SENIOR ANIMALS, IN PARTICULAR, ARE THE MOST SOFTEST IN MY HEART!! **YOU, TRULY ARE GOD SENT FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS LOVING ANIMALS, INDEED!! GOD BLESS YOU!!

What a Heavenly sanctuary for all those sweet babies, if only they were all so fortunate, my heart goes out to all the strays, mistreated and lonely animals of the world 😔

If only the world were filled with people like her. She's an amazing soul 🥰🥰🥰

I cried hearing "Aha, I'm still loved.." after giving all their youth and love and joys to human owners they can't even have a peace senior lives till this lady come alone. We needs more heroes like this lady and all volunteers in Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary.

I have 7 elderly rescues. My dream life would be to have the money to go to the shelters and save all of the elderly dogs. I know this woman loves her life and I’m so happy she gets to to this. I wish I could. It’s my dream ❤️

Thank you Valerie, Whispering Willows seems like dog heaven on earth. The dogs seem so comfortable. Senior dogs are often abandoned because of their age, their illness, their disability. I wish there were dog sanctuaries in every city because they are truly man's best friends.

I don't know how you can watch that clip without coming to tears. What an amazing women with a big heart. Thanks for using what you have in life to comfort other beings. 😇🙏
