I guarantee that they will have a great life with her!!! Having been chosen by a dog like that, is one of the very best things that can happen in life. The little boy is so so lucky to have been chosen by this wonderful dog!!! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🐶👦🥰🥰❤❤❤
It’s just unfortunate that these shelters are so underfunded & overloaded that anyone can go in & walk out with an animal the same day. No home checks, no making sure it’s a good fit….just “oh, you want this one? They’re all yours”. Stella seems to have lucked out with a good family; but unfortunately, a lot of these dogs end up “rescued” into worse environments they came from.
@@strjourneys7919 The dogs at shelters are there because they were picked up either on the streets or taken from abusive home environments. They stay at these shelters till they’re adopted out to a permanent home. Maybe not all of these shelter’s procedures are the best, but at least these abandoned dogs get a second chance. Must you be such a cynic?
I've found that adult dogs are a lot less hassle. Often, they are already housebroken, or have been at some point, and they are able to hold bladders better than pups. I also have some steps in my house, so adult dogs are better with managing the steps.
Same here. I love seeing so many people adopting from shelters and not just puppies. I wish we had better laws when it comes to breeding animals. My sister briefly dated this awful man who bred his two young dogs just for money and he hardly did the bare minimum to take care of all of the dogs. It made me sick that such a terrible, negligent and incompetent person could easily breed and sell dogs and have zero consequences.
I agree!! Over the years, I've adopted many adult dogs (as old as 6-7 years old) and they are FABULOUS!! Some have come from abuse, some were vicious, but they quickly overcame their past and settled in!!
I am so happy that you chose an adult shelter dog! So many wonderful dogs wind up in shelters and have so much love to give. All they need is a chance, and they'll give you their whole heart. Beautiful. 💜💜💜
I’ve always adopted my dogs, I’ve got 2 Staffordshire bull terrier’s now they both came from the same litter. The mother was given up when she was pregnant and had 4 puppies all girls and I’m happy to say they all got re homed really fast puppies and mother.
I’ve actually heard of an even seen with my own eyes when shelter dogs turn and SEVERELY injure the kind soul who adopted them. NOT ALL, but some are traumatized and dangerous. I actually don’t recommend that people with children get a dog from a shelter. It’s a big risk. A puppy from a good breeder can be a blessing. Every dog and every family is different. Gotta respect ppl’s right to choice. Many blessings! 🐾💖
@@queenj.8i895 My first dog, my parents pulled from a BJs. Former owner went in one entrance, left through the other, and the store was sick of this random dog running in to find the owner. Parents took him home- he was EXTREMELY fear aggressive. That dog was Jack, and even though he snapped at me once, it was because I stepped on him, and when I showed him love and affection, he bonded. That dog bullrushed other, bigger dogs because they would have knocked me over, even if they were friendly. He slept on my bed once I was old enough, and I still hurt a decade or more later from losing him to old kidney injuries. So, yes, some shelter dogs should never be around kids. But not all shelter dogs are the same, and not all dogs are aggressive for the same reasons. A good shelter will work to rehabilitate the ones like my Jack, and should never recommend a dangerous dog to a family. Meanwhile, my neighbor's 'breeder puppy' has never been taught or trained or disciplined, and now my family needs to carry mace in our own yard 'lest he jump the fence again. Don't judge the dog, judge the trainer.
@@queenj.8i895 That's like saying you should never trust a convict because sometimes some of them can be violent after they're released. A dog from a breeder can just as easily become violent and is absolutely no reason not to adopt from a shelter. I've worked in multiple shelters, doggy daycares, and have my own pets. Never had a single shelter dog hurt me. You know what kind of dog attacked my arm and ripped my piercings out? A pure bred rottweiler from a breeder. How the dog is treated is so much more important than where they come from and encouraging people to buy from a horrible practice for that reason alone, not only makes no sense and isn't true but is honestly horrible. But yeah, you have a choice.
@@TheExigency that’s actually a perfect example, I would NEVER invite a convict into my home with my children. That would be EXTREMELY unwise. No, not all people or animals with a past are dangerous, but the risk is much greater. I’m sorry, but I see your viewpoint as silly.
@@queenj.8i895Why should people care what you recommend. I have a dog from the shelter who had previously had a family and was great with kids. You can usually learn their history unless they were a stray. Also children still have to know the correct way to be around animals even if you have the most docile dog.
Rescue pets are The Best because they know they're going to have a good home and the care they deserve and they provide loyalty, unconditional love, and protection. God bless them and the people who open their hearts and homes to them. Heart ❤️ wonderful creatures.
Not just his dog. I've had the best dogs by my side, and my youngest daughter now takes those reigns from me. Years ago my buddy hit me up, middle of winter in PA. He found a starved, almost dead, white pitbull dumped on his farm. I picked her up, my plan was to get her healthy, trained, and into a good family. My daughter was 6 years old, figured out the dog was deaf, and worked for months to train her. She, Trinity, wasn't a pitbull like I thought. She was a Dogo Argentino. I let the young one keep the dog due to the work and love she put in. We lost Trinity during covid. I watched my young one become quiet, antisocial, angry. So, I went online and found another dog who needed a home. My young one now has a Lab/Blackmouth Curr companion, Keira the Destroyer. The dog wrecks everything, shoes, doors, dog toys. But, my young one works everyday with her girl, and they are happy. Kids and their dogs, it's just amazing.
@v1pero734 I would encourage your daughter to do dog training as she managed to train a dogo Argentino which are notoriously stubborn and agressive if not trained properly.
@Denozo88 Horrible update. My awesome daughter, Lillian, passed away on September 15 2024. I still have her dog, Kiera the Destroyer. Lillian is forever 12. I've never felt pain like this, it's torture.
@v1pero734 Damm. Its never easy to lose a loved one especially a child. Its never easy to try and move on but I hope you find peace and a way to move on never losing sight of what legacy she left behind.
He let the son pick the dog and find one that would glue to him. As someone who saw this same situation happen with my mother and her cat they will be thick as thieves and loving to the end
My first dog came from a shelter, my daddy picked her up for me and I loved her so much. I'm 44 and saved my 4 little girls from the street. This father is giving his son the greatest gift of all: a lesson that every living being deserves to be love and care, and that you don't need to buy an animal, there are so many beautiful souls waiting for a change to be part of a family.
@@madeinussr7551 Indeed. I'm always amazed at how quickly dogs can switch from playful to protective. There's a very good example of this here on TH-cam where a GSD is playing with his owners' six-year-old son when another dog runs over as if to attack the little boy. Spoiler alert: The German Shepherd makes sure that doesn't happen.
Thank you so much for getting your pup from a shelter. If everyone did the same the shelters would never be full. Stella is awesome, as are many dogs "discarded" daily. People who adopt are heroes in my eyes 💜
what a beauty Stella; your son did have a connection w/her. well done !! that is perhaps a blessing to take on an older dog rather than a pup. well done everyone !! yes dad she was cozying up to you; no worries 😊
I’m 76. My mother introduced me to cats and dogs when I was 5. I have never been without them in my life since. All have been rescues. Currently it’s a dachshund named Olive. My life has been a full one!
A few months ago I brought my 10th rescue dog home. He's almost 14 years old and delightful. Thank you for choosing to get your new family addition from a shelter!
Dad, you picked the right dog. Stella instantly took to you and your son, she's absolutely beautiful. Nothing makes me more happier than seeing a child with a dog and his face lit up with excitement. Stella, enjoy your new family sweet girl, you have the perfect family to love and care for you. May you all have many more wonderful days together.
Seeing how happy your son was when he said, "we got a dog," brought tears to my eyes. Then, seeing how much love Stella brought to the whole family made me cry some more. Cherish everyday ❤❤❤
Im a shelter volunteer. For anyone considering getting a dog, please know that they will be a part of your family and require alot of time and effort. They are not toys.
💯💯💯💯 !! Also, give them time to adjust, it could take a full month before a dog is comfortable in their new home. I’ve seen people return dogs and cats within days because they’re not adjusted. It’s crazy!
@@DogLover_365One of our dogs took three years, she was so traumatised by her experiences. She became a really faithful companion. Patience is the key
Thank you for adopting a shelter dog. My Maggie was from a shelter & has been the best companion....my son had to take her when I had Covid...I want her back...but she's so adjusted with his dogs, I ❤ her too much to take her back
I don't know if it's just me, but DAD looks just as excited as his son. I love hearing him say ''we're not bringing even a perfect dog home today,", then caves after meeting stella. Way to go family!! Thank you for adopting and raising your son to be a compassionate animal lover.
Lol I know he was planning on looking and then making a final choice later. That's what I always end up doing when I tell my kids we're going to go just "meet" the rescue 😂
it is a big decision that shouldn't be taken lightly, so I totally understand when people who are just getting themselves used to the idea, they prob think they should think on it. Dogs that get returned by adopters who don't make that forever commitment, get so depressed, more than the 1st time they were brought there. Foster to adopt is always worth discussing if there is ever any doubt to someone's commitment.
HIS life. You know it's a boy. This grammar weirdness has got to end. "Every boy needs a dog in his life." Otherwise say: "All boys (plural) need a dog in their lives."
The dog knew his son was special, I just watched a video in which a boy wanted a corgi so his father bought him one, a puppy, this kid on the other hand, just wanted a dog and his father took him to a shelter, the boy didn't care about the breed, not even the look, and didn't care that the dog wasn't a puppy, amazing parents, amazing boy.
Every kid needs a pet. It helps them become more empathetic, responsible and creates so many wonderful memories. I have such great memories from all of our dogs and cats over the years. The only bad part is that they don't live long enough. But even then they teach a child how to deal with grief.
Well the truth is that God's Loving Spirit is definitely expressing God's goodness to you. Don't doubt even if you hit a bump Our Lord has given you grace and mercy.❤
Thank you to dad for giving his son and family the gift of a dog. I couldn't imagine my childhood/life without my animals. They've added so much to ky life ❤
You can never beat the love and companionship given by a dog. 🐶 it’s so powerful it’s unbelievable. I love my little babe and I won’t have him any other way. ❤❤❤
Great Dad! Taking his son to the shelter! Not just visiting those poor lonely dogs but allowing his son to pick his own dog! Imagine is more Dads across the country did this! Thank you, thank you! (I'm a rescuer)
Im not crying, youre crying! Honestly, where she snuggled the son on the sofa was exactly how our adopted Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier used to snuggle with my Kiddo. Adopting a dog is the best thing that can happen to both dog and children.
Dad, you were exactly right about getting a dog from the shelter!!!!
❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Shelter animals need good homes and you saved one more being! Good job, family! 👏👏

I have a soft spot in my heart for senior animals. There’s just something about them that I just adore.
Every child should grow up with a dog, it teaches them so much about life.
dogs know they have a second chance at life and are so loving,
I am so happy that you chose an adult shelter dog! So many wonderful dogs wind up in shelters and have so much love to give. All they need is a chance, and they'll give you their whole heart. Beautiful. 💜💜💜
Dad’s just a pleased as the boy. ❤️
Brings me to tears. You rescued an older dog plus brought love to your son. I hope more parents can follow your example ❤
Why am I crying...
Yes! Such a wonderful family-pre and post Stella! She was the exact fit for your family!
❤
Her teeth don't look elderly. I'm guessing 2 to 3 years max. Many happy years to enjoy❤

The dog knew his son was special, I just watched a video in which a boy wanted a corgi so his father bought him one, a puppy, this kid on the other hand, just wanted a dog and his father took him to a shelter, the boy didn't care about the breed, not even the look, and didn't care that the dog wasn't a puppy, amazing parents, amazing boy.
Every kid needs a pet. It helps them become more empathetic, responsible and creates so many wonderful memories. I have such great memories from all of our dogs and cats over the years. The only bad part is that they don't live long enough. But even then they teach a child how to deal with grief.
It’s so wonderful when somebody adopts a pet. I just cry. happiness all over the place.
Well the truth is that God's Loving Spirit is definitely expressing God's goodness to you. Don't doubt even if you hit a bump Our Lord has given you grace and mercy.❤
This granny is so happy for your family and for Stella. Even on a video, the match felt perfect.
Stella is so grateful this boy chose her and loves her. She will forever be grateful and happy now ❤🎉
This is a WIN-WIN situation. A dog that needs to be loved and a part of a family, and a family that wants a dog to love.
The video of her peeking over her new dad while driving is so fucking cute omg. Who's cutting onions 😭
Thank you to dad for giving his son and family the gift of a dog. I couldn't imagine my childhood/life without my animals. They've added so much to ky life ❤
Me too. We always had animals growing up and I still do. Not a home without them
I love God ❤
The Best Dog , The Best Dad and Mom and the Best Little Boy.
This is how every family should get a dog and not a puppy❤😊
A shelter dog, beautiful. I love that. Thank you so much. ❤She already knows she is going home to a new life. Enjoy.🥂
Child's 1st dog.....almost as memorable as adults 1st marriage
You can never beat the love and companionship given by a dog. 🐶 it’s so powerful it’s unbelievable. I love my little babe and I won’t have him any other way. ❤❤❤
Every kid and family needs a dog.
Every kid growing up should have a dog it teaches you responsibility, love and appreciation, and you’ll have a friend for life!
Great Dad! Taking his son to the shelter! Not just visiting those poor lonely dogs but allowing his son to pick his own dog! Imagine is more Dads across the country did this! Thank you, thank you! (I'm a rescuer)
One of the best feelings is bringing home that new family member🥰
Many happy years to you.
Getting a "USED"dog is tremendous!❤
glad you let your son have an animal there great i’ve had animals all our lives great Dad
Kid is very smart and knows exactly what is going on, how things work
She seems like a lovely dog and a great fit for the family.
Every boy should have a dog.
So true give some responsibility at a young age prepares them for life at the same time a best friend
While the Doggo did bond with the son, it bonded even harder with the father, just look at how it loves him ! 😊
That is the sweetest video I've seen all day. You didn't adopt Stella, she adopted you ❤❤ Thanks for making your son's dream come true. ❤ 🐕 ❤️
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂Love the picture of them sleeping together .Great people for taking her .🐶🐶🐶🐶❤❤❤❤
Keeps me choked up. Nothing better than a boy and his dog. Nothing better than a shelter dog for that matter.
Lucky kid, Lucky dog!!! Welcome home Stella.
This kid and his dog, this dad make me see....there are wholesome families ! Thank You and God bless❤
And the mom too ❤
Right!!! Yes. Absolutely!!!!!!!!
Pets complete a family. Shelter animals are the best. They’re always grateful to belong.
Some of the simplest videos can be the most beautiful
Im not crying, youre crying! Honestly, where she snuggled the son on the sofa was exactly how our adopted Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier used to snuggle with my Kiddo. Adopting a dog is the best thing that can happen to both dog and children.
They know when they’ve been saved and they will never forget it. ❤❤❤
