Alaska is a senior German shepherd who spent most of her life in the shelter. Alaska’s mom slowly opened her up and showed her what love is. Alaska knew what it meant to be a dog for the first time ever.

Senior dogs don't get the love they deserve 🤧

@carlofontanello2415 2 жыл бұрын

I love senior dogs, I volunteered at my local shelter for over 8 years and I always gave the seniors the most attention and treats, I also walked them the most. Everyone always went straight to the young dogs or the puppies, not me. I knew that their time here was limited and very rarely were the seniors adopted, so they got all my attention. Now that I’m old and disabled I understand more of what these poor dogs went through. 🙏🏻

When humans all have this woman's heart, then, the world will be a wonderful place!

Even though their bodies get old, they still have their inner puppy that just wants to play. ❤

I absolutely ADORE senior dogs. If you can afford the care it's takes to have an older pet, please do so. Dog or cat. They deserve all the love they can before the end.

I took my neighbor's senior dog after they didn't want her anymore. She was precious. If I had the money I would have a senior dogs rescue.

I love senior dogs too. I had a story about adopting a senior dog. Her name was Ruby. She was a 9-year-old Akita. She was slow and mellow. She taught a young man to stop being afraid of dogs. He'd cower away from her, but she would howl and nuzzle his arm. Eventually, the young man started petting her and made a wonderful friend. Ruby lived to be 18 years old. Then, I had to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I still think about her daily. She was such a love! I took her everywhere. She loved car rides.

The people saying they won't adopt a senior dog because of they don't have many years left are thinking about themselves. It should be about the dog being happy.

It's our job as senior pet adopters to try to undo the damage, disappointment and distrust these animals have for humans. I adopted my 14 year old guy a year ago and in an uncertain world, I can 100% guarantee you he will never spend another night in a shelter.

I worked for ten years or so in no-kill (low kill really ) shelters. My heart, my whole heart was with those senior dogs. especially the ones who lived ten, twelve years on a chain, or in a cage. THE most rewarding thing was to adopt those dogs. they are thrown away, like an old piece of luggage or a broken toy. To give their last days as much warmth, comfort, and food and safety- that they never had? PRICELESS. WORTH every tear shed and every inconvenience and extra work. Highly recommend everyone stretch their hearts- that dog will fit nicely in there.

This is how we gain wisdom about ourselves and life. We push ourselves just as this young woman did, and we discover the strength and capacity for selflessness that most of us really do have inside. Senior dogs are the best.

Senior Animals are the best! My last Cat had been in a shelter 5 months. She was a week from death because at 10 years old (roughly) no one wanted an 'old' cat. We had her 11 years! She was so loving and fun and full of energy. She rode on my shoulder like a parrot. Never underestimate animals no matter how long we are blessed to have them, rescues rock! 🐾🐈🌈

I adopted a senior dog 🐶 at 12 yrs of age & she passed at 16 yrs old. I wish I had her longer! I think about her all the time! I really miss her! Woof! ❤️🐾

We brought home a senior dog 2 weeks go. We were told he had lived in shelters his whole life and had signs of neglect and abuse. The first week was up and down and he had a few accidents. But he's decompressing. The past few nights when he lies down on the bed, he sighs loudly when I scratch his ears, and put my cheek on top of his head and tell him he's home now.

You saved this beautiful dog's life! You had feelings for him, but did not let his age get in the way, instead what you saw was a dog, being cheated out of being in a loving home! God bless you! You gave hope, comfort, fresh air and walks, kisses and hugs, in a forever home! How about that! You changed his life, and made it better and most of all you both fell in love! Isn't that great.
