Joylaine YES ,,,,,,!!! Great move 👍🏼

Joylaine Good for you !!! Dumped the 5 year narcissist & got 2 dogs... 💓😊💌👍. I know, I was married to a narcissist for a very long time, and I hear ya !!! 😊

Excellent move. One does NOT need all that ego and self importance around. Dogs give without expecting anything back. 💗

Yesss girl! That’s awesome!

Yay Joylaine! Awesome decision and rest assured you most definitely got the better deal, and so did the dogs you rescued!

It's Not that hard to find a pet friendly place. I can understand financial reasons, but still think that it can be fixed and keep the dog. I moved a LOT and never failed to find a rental , and had a 160 pound Bullmastiff once, too.

Agree! My 14yr furbaby just passed & I would of gave anything for another day, week, mo w her💔

@@The-ii5mj totally understand lass, dog are companions more so than pets.

@@jjimywoods1363 ✌💔💕 There will be a new rescue mutt out there that needs me & I, them🐾💖

My girl also ended up in the shelter at age 14 when I adopted her

Agree!

Absolutely agree! Shame on them!!!

In general I agree, but always remember there are legitimate reasons for having to give up a dog. I'm not saying that's what happened here tho. They did say that the family moved and couldn't afford to take her with them (either by paying for a pet friendly apartment or paying a pet fee). Now if they just moved for the hell of it then absolutely their fault but that isn't usually the case. Maybe they couldn't afford their current home, or maybe that had to move for a job either because they lost their old one or they're being offered more money. A big pay bump can change a families life completely, is it worth it to give up on giving your child a better future and potentially escaping poverty for the sake of a dog at the end of it's life. Us dog lovers may think so but most regular people won't. Again I'm not at all saying any of this happened, just giving examples of what could've been going on. There are plenty of other reason people give up dogs such as. Ill health, either physically or mentally. Either one can make looking after a dog impossible. Being unable to cope, not everyone can look after a dog (hence why one can end up in a crate for 14 years), if your in over your head giving up the dog is the right thing to do. Poverty, If you can barely afford to feed your kids how can you feed a dog. It's not fair to let it go hungry. I expect a lot of dogs are gonna end up in shelters for this very reason over the next 2 years, Which is terrible because shelters will be receiving less money and so inevitably there'll be a massive uptick in euthanizing and it's really no ones fault. Again I'm in no way saying that this family were definitely in the right, we don't know their situation. I'm just saying that whilst many who give up dogs are POS (and if they are wouldn't you want them to give up the dog) but definitely not all. Gotta remember that you can't judge someone without knowing their situation.

@@MsMarco6 You give some good examples there and yes there absolutely are legitimate reasons as to why people become unable to take care of a pet; what I’m referring to are cases where people give up a pet entirely for selfish reasons. It’s “inconvenient”, in other words. 😊

@@MsMarco6 definitely agree that there are legit reasons, but you should never get a pet if you don't know if you can provide for it ALWAYS, meaning if you know you don't get enough income to also take care of the pet then just don't get one, but let's think about the bright side, at least they didn't put the healthy dog down and gave it to a shelter instead.

You're an angel!😇🤗

You are such an amazing person!!! Few would even adopt a dog older than 5 years!!

WOW!!!

Emily Swanson, You ROCK!!

WOW really thanks for update. Love these guys.... Oops I thought u meant this one. Ur awesome to have adopted a senior dog. GOD BLESS

eiko hori they probably couldn’t care for her or something happened in their life.

Kailee Beach a dog is a commitment till the end of their life. If they were moving they should’ve gotten a place that’ll accept dogs. I know it’s hard to find but it is possible. One of my parents friend had to find a house that accepted 20 dogs that she rescued from the streets and if she could do it they could with one dog

I hear ya, my pug is 13 and couldn't do it. But you just never know the whole story. Regardless, it's heartbreaking.

I've got a cat whose 15. Hes so limited because of his movements, I couldn't imagine giving him up since he doesn't have his full life yet.

Can't even imagine. Having a dog in a crate its whole life, same thing.

if you had the choice between being homeless with young children and a dog, or having a house and no dog, and you chose homeless, they'd take your kids from you for being an irresponsible parent. it's a terrible decision to have to make, but sometimes people do have to make those choices.

Then don't have children of you can't handle both. Or just never get a pet if they are going to be last choice.

@@Idomanaio it only takes one health crisis to drag a stable family into poverty. no one does it for *fun*

more and more landlords are refusing to allow pets anywhere and unfortunately people don't always have a choice. it's terrible :/

@@isthatrubble good thing I'm responsible enough to not have kids or want them. I'd set an example when you commit to a pet its a lifelong one... there is always a choice especially now a days to have a place to live that excepts pets just got to put in the effort and might not be the first place you wanted but no reason to give them up due to housing ever. don't get them if your not going to have them for their whole life...

100%!!

@You Wish Hunny...did God talk to u?...like outloud?...or inside ur head? How did God threaten to kill ur dog Hun?

@You Wish Nice try, I'm almost 50, what kid would call themselves 'aunty'? & I thot it was very funny....sor-ry

@You Wish Not to mention, God would never say He would kill ur dog. Thats Old Test., we r living under Grace. How do u think that would b interpreted?

@You Wish Nope. I just read His Word & the Promises He fulfills to us.

I cried when watching this, because she must be wishing, yearning, begging in her mind for them to come back, and even when she's adopted the majority of her life was spent with another owner, and she must be wanting them back so much, thinking about what happened. It's sad.

:(

@Work hard Play harder!! who said she was old and sick? its sad, but sometimes people need to give up their animals with their pets best interest in mind. if that is the reason they gave her up, of course I would be angry. but I have had to give up animals before because of reasons that were out of my control, and it sucks just as much for us as it does for them. at least I know they are out there living a good life.

Moriah Parkinson I could never it broke my heart hearing that

Brings tears to my eyes

Mind-boggling. And she says it happens a lot. I just can't get my head around it. I could understand if the owner passed away, but folks just drop off a dog they've had for 14 years! It's better than putting him out on a road somewhere, or chained/locked up to starve to death. But abandoning a family pet anywhere after 14 years...

It may be they were ill, had to move houses, were not healthy enough to look after them- the fact is people don't know the details, and they need to stop judging.

@@lachiewilding5044 They explained in the video that they were moving. That's it. Moving was the excuse.

@@sophiepires792 it's a pretty bad excuse.

@@whitexchina Of course it is! It's terrible!

Gracie Adams a pos. 💩

Poverty. It's heartbreaking.

I dont care how poor i was, my dog and i would be poor together...

The same people who leave their grandparents at a nursing home.

@dritan tahiraj yes,You're right. But life situations can drastically change. Rather than leave the dog on the streets,or even worse,it's better to give him to a shelter. America is a crazy place to get ill,and very easy to loose everything.

Both of them deserve love but the bigger dog will probably have a harder time when looking for a home. There may come a time when a dog has to be carried after all. Like mine was, unable to walk downstairs anymore or jump into a car.

It's abuse to leave a dog caged 24/7, pure & simple.

Who keeps a dog in a crate all the time? What is WRONG with people? And in God's name, how can you abandon a dog you have had for 14 years? The old one looks like she has PTSD!

@@sarahholland1375 Absolutely, those people belong in jail!!! Made my blood pressure boil just hearing that!!

Same happened to my rescue. She didn’t even know to pee on grass. It took me over a year to get her potty trained because she didn’t even know how to alert since no one ever seemed to care. She also never drinks from a bowl. It is apparent she was never provided water. She is also been abused because she is deadly afraid of sticks like the swiffer. My poor Yorkie mix. I rescued her from the US (internship) and brought her home to Germany. My family went into debt so I could have her papers and intl transport not in cargo. I’ve had her for 4 yrs now. That was the best money spent ever.

Or a statue...of a dog

Totally!!!!

They make robotic pets now. I never will understand why some people get pets

gf609, Some people need service dogs.

@@rosalynne8792 really , good point.

That's what is always so horrifying to imagine. I was taken away from my birth mother at 7 years old, I remember it well. I was in a fucked up foster home for 2 years before being adopted. People were able to EXPLAIN TO ME what was going on. You can't do that with a pet. It's far worse. In my opinion.

She truly does poor baby 😢. Hope she is feeling better ❤️

She's about to have the best last years of her life.

@@lamar9331 Good point.

Hopefully her mindset is moving forward always. She deserves it

INSPIRATIONAL story

Melissa Moats her owner moved. You never know their situation to why they couldn’t keep her.

Peace on the motel&glad u posted your truth

That's YOU.....

Hope you have everything you want ever in life by the morning!

Yeah how dare people get old and senile, lose their jobs, or not be able to afford their pets 🙄

@@DL-zp3fk That's not what happen.

@@debrabaron1909 but it does happen & op said they "don't give a f what the reason is". If someone falls ill, ends up on the streets, or loses everything & can't afford an animal's medical care (2020 was a perfect example of quickly that can happen) then what? I have a dog with an autoimmune disease. If he doesn't have his meds, his skin & the pain is comparable to someone with glaucoma. The bills are no joke....So if my business went under or something happened to where I couldn't care for him anymore, should I keep him anyways & let him suffer because according to a lot of people, there's never a good reason? I understand there are people who discard their animals as if they're material objects, but making blanket statements like OP did, is the epitome of ignorance.

Same! They deserve the world

My dog always sleeps with me!

Us too, right between my wife and I; we had to go to a king size bed. We love Roxie.

My dog is to she a small dog to and omg how can people just give them up sad 💔🇬🇧

I feel the same way about my cats. I had one that lived to be 19. He was with me through really dark times in my life. Including when we had to live in my car for a week. He just snuggled my lap the whole time, I felt like he was telling me everything will be ok. And we got through it. I wouldn't of turned that cat into the shelter for any reason...

MezzoMamma1 You never know people’s financial situation. So you can’t judge them.

@@Divi333. I agree. I think after 14 years, chances are her owners were incredibly attached, but though I am not sure how it is in the US, in Australia it is incredibly difficult AND expensive to even find a rental property that will accept dogs. Of course I feel they should have kept her if they could, but I can understand why they may have felt they had to surrender her.

@@glenbe4026 same in New Zealand we are waiting to buy a house next year then we will adopt our fur babies! ❤️👍

@@natashawatkins5651 Cool. Good luck. Dogs are my favourite animal, but since I live in an apartment in Brisbane I am unable to have one. Even cats are difficult to find properties that will accept them. I grew up in Papakura (Auckland). And one thing (amongst many) NZ has over Australia is you do not have to worry about snakes killing your dog.

@Junior Mudd ok boomer. If you end up on the streets with your kid, guess what? Your kid is NOT going with you. He/She is being put in a foster home by Child services. BUT again, it is not difficult to find a rental property to accept kids, whilst it is very difficult AND expensive to find one that accepts dogs OR cats. And let me tell you something, as someone who was a bloody streetkid, in a nation with much better safety nets than America, living on the streets is NOT fun as a teen, and will be even worse as an older adult.

It's a lie, obviously.

Yeah. They were probably just saying that as an excuse. They just didn't want to deal with the medical issues that come with older dogs. 😞

My current property I rent was sold to a new owner. After our lease was up the pet policy changed. Thank God we were able to keep our cat. But I can see there could be a situation with our elderly neighbors. If they still had their cat they would have been in the same position as Casey's owners.

Evan McAuley priorities, right?

I live in a crappy city and literally everyone has a nice rich car but live in a shitty apartment with a big dog but I never see them take their dog out 🙄 Sadly my mom is one of those people but I live with my dad

Right? Moving (and even dying) are NOT excuses for your animal to end up in a shelter. have back up plans. Make sure there are people you trust who agree to care for the dog if anything happens to you

Vicki, there in fact are people, parents, who don't give a sh*t about their own children and neglect and abuse them and are cold and indifferent. Never mind such people easily giving up an 'annoying' old dog. That's just humans for you. There are good humans for sure, but sadly many bad too

You all sound like naive children. Keeping a dog for 14 years obviously means they loved her. You don’t know their situation. If it was in California it’s likely they couldn’t afford where they were living and had to move elsewhere but couldn’t afford to keep the dog. They did the responsible thing of bringing the dog to shelter and not abandoning her on the street so be grateful for that.

@@lovemelanin3779 You are cold-hearted. I hope you don't have any pets. If you do, they deserve better.

@@Bess1201 Yes. People who can care less about the lives of HUMAN babies lives

you dont know the circumstances so dont judge...

Pepper1188 Exactly. I went through a divorce, lost my house, and moved 3,000 miles from CA to PA. My dogs were with me every step of the way.

Maybe they lost their jobs, and had to downsize to a smaller home that didn’t allow pets. Do you really think a family, that cared for a dog for 14 years, would really just give her up on a “whim”? They were likely forced to surrender her to the shelter.

Also Cupcakes I can’t speak for these people, however, there are people who simply don’t want to “deal” with the unique needs/veterinary care (even if they can afford the care) that many senior canines require.

Or one is a stinking crate for a million yeats

God bless you George B .. Daisy & Trixie are safe over the Rainbow Bridge, as is my beautiful rescued girl *** SONNET *** We will meet them again when it is our time to go to Heaven. For now I know my sweet SONNET walks in spirit beside me 🐶🥰❣️

💗🐾💗🐾🌈

Very well said!!So true!!

Willow76ny Surrendered is a kind word. The accurate word is *abandoned* her. 💔

There is a special place in hell for them.

@@bowlnow824 Don't say that. What if hard times took over and they would much rather care for their kids then their dog, so they put it in a shelter instead of putting it down? 14 yrs! Obviously it was hard! God bless you, just please consider every situation. 😊

Nessa P OH ONE OF YOU IDIOTS, JUST BECAUSE A DOG NIPS SOMEONE IT HAS TO BE PUT IN A SHELTER

Sydney already foster failed with pearl! I follow her on instagram divineontheroad

Jane Irish her owner moved. You never know their situation to why they couldn’t keep her.

@@kaileebeach I been in many not good situations driving for hours or renting a dump to keep my pet.

U speak the truth 💯👊

I had to make that decision, not only for my senior dog, but also for my older horse and 12 paraqeets, due to a divorce, no place of my own/ no money and my ex couldn't care for him allone because of his work. Sometimes common sense has to rule over sentimental animal love. Because in their best intersts letting go was the best I could do, for all of them found new homes( 2006). Miss them still every day, but they are all over the 🌈Rainbowbridge 🤗🇳🇱

Lol you never met my dad 😂 tattoo former navy tough guy can’t be more soft than with our chihuahuas 😂

Maybe previous men weren't nice to her.

YES 😂😂😂😂 I LOVED THAT

Thank you for choosing to rescue - especially from a high kill shelter. Chances are that you saved your faithful friend's life. Wishing you both all the very best for your future together x

One of my neighbors looks like a Hell's Angels. 6ft5in. Built like a house. Shaved head. Steel toe boots. People literally cross the street when they see him coming. Every other word that comes out of his mouth is an Ef bomb. Super rough around the edges. Awkward with people He teaches special needs kids He also feeds and cares for all the feral cats in our complex (we have a lot). He's "the pussycat guy"

I know!!! 🤗🐾

She just needs some peace and love, to live out her last days.

👍👍👍

So so agree, several applauds to Your statement with a standing ovation 👍👌👏👏👏@ Baba Booie

Baba Booie and babies...

@@jask4968 No pity there, if they can't feed them they shouldn't breed them.

And abort their unborn children

@Patricia Engelsiepen I'd take an aborted pregnancy over a mistreated child any day.

I’m sorry to hear that. dogs are just the purest type of animal ever!

I have a 14 year old rescue dog we’ve had since a puppy and would NEVER part with her. My hubby is disabled and in the future I will adopt or foster senior dogs.

@Denise Blair is it really? Maybe it's a Florida thing. I looked into it but maybe I should again once I have a decent yard!

Lee ended up adopting KC. She passed away a year ago

Could you sue them for killing your dogs against your wishes?
