I am so in love with this guy....and I've only know him for a few days! You'll be seeing LOTS of him on my channel as we build a life together. Do you have a shelter dog? Any experience with a Border Collie? I would love your suggestions, comments, advice on how to make this transition as smooth as possible for both of us :)

Dogs have a short time in this world, please give them a warm and loving home for the rest of their lives.

I adopted a cat who had been in humane society for 7 years. He was 2 weeks old when he came there. I couldn't let that continue. He's a lovely cat - been home for 4 weeks.

We just got a dog that had been in the shelter for 9 months. He is a wonderful fellow. Took about 3 weeks full-day work to get him out of his shell. So worth it.

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. We adopted Z the day before his appointment with the needle. Z was a pain for the first few months; he ran away, chased elk, got skunked and full of porcupine quills multiple times. And now, he is the best dog of our lives.

I adopted a severely abused dog 3 1/2 years ago. She changed my life in the most amazing ways! It took 3 years for her to fully relax... now, she doesnt wake up for treats even!! I cant imagine life without her... i saved her and she saved me!

He’s beautiful can’t believe it took so long for him to get adopted

Thank you for adding Pollux to your family. He is in good and loving hands now. God bless your family!! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much for giving that precious boy a good home. He'll be so grateful!!!😊

I started crying happy tears when the girls unrolled the gift.

Can't imagine why anybody didn't want him, he is a big fur baby. Bless your heart.

Breaks my heart. I’m so glad there’s people like you. Be patient with him.

This warms my heart. I am a rescue dog person, foster parent and shelter volunteer. Thank you so much for opening your home to Pollux. Just remember the rules of 3s. 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine and 3 months to start to be comfortable. Look forward to many happy updates. Taking a dog that has been in the shelter his entire life is s huge undertaking. Bless you…..Again my thanks from all of us rescue folks.

I adopted a dog no one wanted too. She was in the shelter for 8 years. Her whole life. Great dog!!

The fact you adopted this dog tells me you are a good person.

You and your family are amazing. Thank you for rescuing him and helping him learn how to be a dog.

Dogs are a great gift to us. I had my little Jonny pass away a few months ago. I still have not completely recovered. Dogs aren't people but they are precious little lives that have feelings and love us. I think of all the precious memories with my dog and I will always cherish them. Dogs are simply wonderful.

Why would no one want him he’s so handsome just a ball of perfection. He’s such a blessed dog you were meant to be his family.

He loves his mama, he knows who saved him.

I just found this video and also just lost my big Pyrenees a few months back. He was so much like this dog! He once turned over a cake platter on my counter and ate a whole Angel food cake! Like you, I had no idea dogs would countersurf! Thanks for the laughs and the memories of my sweet boy.

One of the most beautiful dog stories I’ve ever heard! Bless you for giving him the life he (and every dog) deserves! 💚

This is why shelters need foster families to take dogs in and teach them how to be family pets, so they can be calm and sociable, and ready for adoption. This is also why everyone should #AdoptNotShop It's amazing that you guys took in this lovely boy, but he should never have gotten to this point of stress and emotional neglect in the first place

God bless you for caring and giving him a home.

How, HOW did this dog stay so long in a shelter? He's SO adorable! Well, it may have taken longer than makes any sense, but he seems to have landed in the right place!

Thank you for adopting this little miracle baby, Pollux. He is just a lost baby. Animals are babies. They need to always be protected and loved.

He couldn't have found a more loving, accepting home. Lovely people with big hearts.

So cute! He won the lottery when you adopted him.

This is the sweetest story. Thank you for saving this pup, thank you for sharing with us and reminding us of our responsibilities when it comes to paying it forward.

What a lovely story! I teared up several times. I bet there are many just like him waiting for a special family like yours to adopt and love them. I think I need to follow you just to see him again! Thank you for taking him home!!! ❤

When you know you know. That is a member of your family you didn't know existed until you saw that picture. Thank you so much for listening to your instincts!

Such a shame that the shelter didnt take time to socialize him when he was a little puppy. Then he wouldnt have been so distant with people. He is lucky to have your family. Enjoy

Renee , Paul lux was truly blessed for you but got him home. He was so scared and frightened and now he’s such a happy loving dog.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

This brought tears to my eyes. So sad that he spent so long in the shelter as a puppy, I thought they were the first to go. I’m so glad you adopted him. I’ll be watching more of HIS videos.

I am literally wiping away tears as I ugly cry while my rescue dog sleeps under my blanket with me and my toddler.

He's a good looking dog. I'm surprised he spent that much time in the Shelter.

All that time in the shelter paid off. Pollux got the best most loving family!!!

Thank you do much for opening up your heart and soul to Pollux! He is a very sweet and gentle and wonderful dog, and I'm grateful and thankful that he went home with your wonderful people!! You are Angels! Love you for that! He will open up more to you the longer he feels completely safe and comfortable!!

All of my pets have been shelter rescues. There is a learning curve at first, but I am sure you will find Pollux to be a most faithful and beautiful companion.

Bless your hearts for giving this big baby a home... he is so cute... love him

That is so nice. I am a DOG FANATIC I AM 66+ AND HAVE had dogs since 1960. I have had 1 to 5 dogs at a time. I trust dogs more than people. Congratulations. That guy will love you forever

You have a whole new look 👀!!!! I love women who are brave enough to go gray. Pollux is precious and has no idea how lucky he has gotten and made this family.

I love how gentle you are with him letting him come out of his shell in his own time. BEAUTIFUL

When you said you don’t know why you looked on FB page right before Christmas, I know why,... your guardian angel whispered I your ear that this creature needed a home. Just wait. Pollux is going to give something wonderful in your lives! GOD bless!

He looks so much like my Sandy, she too is a rescue and scared of everything but the smartest and sweetest girl ever. I know yall love him

You’re just plain WONDERFUL, KIND, LOVING PEOPLE... We need many, many more people like you on this world! Thank u for sharing this video full of love, humor, and kindness... you got a new subscriber and fan!

I adopted a cat the same way, and he is with me 8 yrs..and never give up on him. He is the boss.

He is an intelligent dog, a fast learner, a genius

Of all your videos, this has to be my fav. I fell in love with Pollux. The Maxer had to grow on me, but he's just too cute and sweet as can be. Kudos to Mooey for being such a great "big-little" Bro to Pollux. What a pair they make! 😉

You have God’s love. He is so proud of you and your family for opening your home to this poor animal. Thank you from my heart.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADOPTING THIS FURBABY AND LOVING HIM UNCONDITIONALLY.

😂 Shelter dogs always perk up on the car ride home. They know they’re out of the shelter and never going back ❤️☺️

One of our dogs went to heaven today…. Thank you, I needed to watch something happy…

I got my rescue dog about 3 years ago. He was in the very back of the shelter next to a pitty who was growling and barking. It took me visiting 3 days in a row until I knew he was for me. He jumped right in the front seat and sure surprised my husband. He still doesn't play with toys nor chew toys. He loves the dog park and running around our park. He follows me everywhere and has decided he is my dog. He will go to my husband but has to always be by me.

Poor dog, all his life at the refuge, thank you for giving him a family, a wonderful and so loving mother and a wonderful father, the whole family is super nice, thank you

He looks like a Smooth Collie. Thank you so much for adopting him and giving him a amazing home ❤️🙂

God does work in mysterious ways! My 18 yo chihuahua mix male friend passed last nite. We only had him for 2 yrs (owner was going to "put him down" cuz he was old) but what a joy he brought into our lives! Watching your video helped heal my 💔 a bit seeing how U & your loving family took a chance on a Rollux. God Bless Ya'll & I'll keep watching for updates on you & your fur babies.

God bless you dear Earth Angel for adopting this very sweet boy !!!!! You and your family are AMAZING ... Love ALL of you !!!!!! 😊💜💜💜🐾🐾🐕💜💜💜

I LOVE the daughter’s reactions. That is exactly how my daughters would react, thank goodness.

“Told Randy we were going to get Polluck.” That brought tears to my eyes - THANK YOU for sharing and caring!

One of ours was a rescue, it took a long time for him to settle & be touched but now he is super loving to us all.

Exactly. The echoing of barking and talking ~ it was so overwhelming and painful to MY ears (I have ADHD and sensory issues) so I cannot imagine how little skin-and~bones Mr. Stewart was dealing with any of that. He’s my baby boy now and lives in my library@-quiet apartment. He is honoraryHead Librarian here! And very proud of his position!

He's a beautiful dog. It doesn't make sense that no one would adopt him. Unless, he needed to sit there an wait for the day that YOU were coming for him. Best of luck to all of you!

We need more people in the world who will just go in and take these sweet animals who have been in the shelters for so long. Thank you for giving him a chance. Truly seeing that he needed a home, and taking him in. My sweet Link (border collie mix) had been in the shelter for two and a half years. 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.🐾💙

Took me months to get the nerve to watch this…and just like I thought…so many happy tears rolling down my cheeks. God bless you and your family for taking a chance on Pollux and adopting him. And helping him learn the world. We adopt all our dogs. Such a blessing to see them thrive.

She looks like a grey hound. It doesn't matter now. As long as she is happy now. Thank God she got a good home 🙏🙏❤️🌹

God knew Pollux was waiting on you! What a blessing! His rescue was yours too! God bless you all! “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”. (Anatole France)

To be honest... I feel so sorry for "ugly" dogs that no one adopts. However, Pollus is beautiful. Hard to believe that no one adopted him before. A long wait but worth it !!

Wonderful video. We rescued a retired Greyhound. He was so sweet, it’s amazing how forgiving animals are. He didn’t know anything about house-dog life. It was so rewarding to see him grow into a happily retired spoiled, much loved house-dog.

I can't believe that sweet dog had not been adopted. Thank goodness for the shelter that held him all that time.

The only animal that I will own is a rescue animal

He’s learning to be a dog in a human’s world. Awesome that you adopted him. He is adorable

*I ADORE BOTH YOUR PUPS! THANK YOU FOR GIVING MR.P A HOME,ALSO BECAUSE OF YOU,ABOUT A YEAR AGO,WATCHING YOU GROW OUT YOUR HAIR, MY SON BLAKE WAS WATCHING ME WATCH YOU,AND ASKED ME TO JOIN YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY,HE HAS WANTED ME TO LET MY NATURAL HAIR COLOR GROW OUT FOR THE LONGEST TIME, SO,I DID!!!

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. 🤗🤍🐶🐕🤍🤗

As an animal lover who has been crossposting cats and dogs on social media for years, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this angel a home. May God bless you! ❤😇

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.

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)!

This video has absolutely warmed my heart! Thank you for adopting Pollux and having the patience for him. You have given him a wonderful home and life!

So , having rescued a racing greyhound it’s really cool watching him learn to be a pet. It’s been a real treat watching him learn and adapt. 4years and he’s still getting the hang of it. Lotsa luck, it’s worth it.

He looked stressed and uncertain in the shelter. Now that he is with you he looks very happy and confident. Well done.

That face 😍 I wish more people would adopt those poor dogs and cats. They are nothing but love.

Why did Noone adopt this adorable dog? He's looks amazing God bless you for saving this beautiful angel

You have a heart of gold- can’t thank you enough for giving him a home and helping him -I really enjoyed this video - so heartwarming!!

He's TENSE but thank you for giving him a chance

i CAN NOT STOP WATCHING THIS...THAT DOG IS A HERDER FOR SURE, SUPER SMART, AND THAT IS WHY HE IS SO SENSITIVE; THE HERDING BREEDS ARE SUPER HYPER AWARE

What a beautiful dog. We adopted two rescues this past year from Texas and Mississippi. Technically we rescued them, in reality they rescued us and now run the house.

This just popped up in my feed as suggested......over a year after its posted. Yet what an incredibly sweet video. As a doggie mom myself it just makes my heart sing. He wasn't in the animal shelter lost....he was there waiting for your beautiful family. So happy for you and Pollux.

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.

Our Sally was in a shelter for two years! She didn’t know what to do with toys, and was so scared of everything. Fast forward 6 months, she’s the best pal we could have ever asked for and is such a sweetheart!

This video made me so happy.. Thank you for adopting him and for giving him the blessings of a real life and to experience real love..

Maam, you are a credit to the human race. Take care and stay safe.

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!

I just cried like a baby , Tank you for your support and kindness, May God bless you and you lovely family Amen🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

I always enjoy your stories and especially the love you show to your dogs. I began watching you when you brought pollux home. He is so happy to have a family and he's a sweet dog.

I'm so happy for Pollux that he has a wonderful family. 491 days is a long time to wait but in this case it was worth it because Pollux now has the best home he could ever have. That is obvious.

"All good things comes to those who wait" is exactly true in this case for this cute dog, He waited 491 hard days at the shelter and got adopted by the best loving Family Ever.

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.

God Bless you he needs people as loving as your family. I lost my English Cocker Spaniel 6mos ago. He ended up with Kidney Failure, heart and was going blind. Had Davey to Vets so much he was my Baby. He was 12yrs old was by my side even slept with me.

This is such a nice video. It's a feel good video in a time that we all need it. Thank you!

watching this with tears in my eyes, I'm laying next to this little angel our family just adopted from Puerto Rico and is slowly coming out of her shell. Watching videos for tips and stories about fearful rescue dogs so I can be the best human to her.

I love animal people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening your home and hearts to this dog. I don’t know for sure, but I think God is watching.♥️
