      Someone special! We can appreciate it, but just how many animals have been thrown their last-chance life-line by Mel?
      The number of dogs she has saved by upping their spirits and restoring their faith in humans must be recorded and recognized!

    I just adopted a 10 year old cat and drove 1175 miles round trip. I found out from the foster home, that I was not the farthest driving adopter. She was in TN and had someone drive in from Colorado. It was two long days in the car, but kitty is a champ and fits right in with my other two. THANK YOU TO ALL YOU FOSTER HOMES OUT THERE. YOU ARE AMAZING AND DOING GREAT WORK.

    Rocky, your energy is absolutely contagious. Currently, we have 7 Great Danes - not by choice - but by destiny. 5 of them were rescues. Can we afford them? No. But we eat a lot of casseroles! The dogs eat high on the hog! Shoog was labeled a 1 on emaciation. Callie was left tied to a tree for two days. Poppy was on a 2’ chain grounded by a piece of rebar. No food. No water. Otis Ray was “too big.” REALLY? A BIG Great Dane? CHINKA went through a divorce and came out of it with no home. And life goes on on the mountain where 7 Great Danes rock it. We wouldn’t have any other way.

      You could start a TH-cam channel just showing all your Great Danes, and you could just show daily life!
      And ask for help with feeding them. Keyush the Stunt Dog channel has a channel where she has a wish list on Amazon of foods and treats, and people send them to the dog.
      It would totally work! You don't even have to show yourself if you're camera shy.

      It is nice that they got to stay together. I guess my sticking point is that if they weren't a bonded pair (ie became extremely anxious and depressed apart) then they could have been separated with little issue. Dogs do love and bond with other dogs like they do with people, but the concept of "blood-relation" purely a human concept. I'm curious now if that was the case here and that's why they had to be adopted together.

      I'm curious about the walk in adoptions. Don't the animal shelters require a home check to be carried out before placing an animal with an adopter.? If not, the dog could be going back to the same type of environment they came from. In the UK a home check is common practice

      @@janiceal-najjar5093 Some rescues do more thorough checks, but most shelters just require a questionnaire and that you own your home or have landlord approval. The forms I have filled out asked about pet ownership history and vet info. It seemed more of an honor system and hope for the best.

    My Doberman was so active even up to 4 years old. So, I taught him to heel the left front fender of my car going 15-20 NPH. He would do that for 45 minutes. Then we could play frisbee and just walking around a park. He learned so quickly and allied my rescue squirrel to ride on his back in the house. I loved that dog so much. His name Billyjaxx.

      @keithm8557 Yes, I agree. Especially in Franklin County, North Carolina, where unadopted animals are euthanized on a regular basis. Their pictures are then pictured post humusly in the local newspaper. It's a good effort on the county's part to hold pet owners accountable for their negligence. There are so many beautiful and deserving animals in our local shelters. So scary and sad for them. I appreciate Rocky raising awareness

    I adopted a border collie/ corgi mix from a shelter that rescued him from a kill shelter he was on the list for being put down. He was such a good dog with no problems except being food aggressive which went away shortly after he came home. Two months after we were walking in a mall I saw a border collie/ corgi mix that was just a few months old and was for sale for $1,200.

There are probably a lot of potential foster parents out there. You guys are awesome.

      Please, when you read this, do not be offended, but what does "not being a dog person mean "?"
      Have you had a bad experience?
      Does dog hair bother you?
      Does licking you out of love and affection cause issues?
      Does having to walk them cause issues like a wet coat or dirty feet or having to pick up their 💩
      I'm just genuinely curious bc since I am an animal lover of all creatures, I've heard this said b4 and don't understand what makes a person not a specific lover of a specified animal.
      Reiterating, this is not a question I ask lightly, just curious as to thoughts of people who make this type of statement.
      Thank you.

    Seeing how scared Charlie was is absolutely devastating. And you got it 100% correct. Labs are always so happy and carefree that it feels so wrong to see anything else. Whoever did that to that poor sweet baby, I hope that that karma catches up to them 100 fold. And I hope they are never ever able to do that to another animal ever again.

    Greta. What the HECK??!! She’s so sweet. I inherited a yorkie they had used for breeding. My son-in-law and daughter adopted 2of them and gave me one. She was tiny, 4 pounds, only had one eye, lost most of her hair, her teeth were rotten, and she started to leave a path of bloody drips. I took her to the vet. (The people wrote that she just like Cheetos. They fed her Cheetos) She was really skinny. Anyway, she’d had a caesarean, and they didn’t give her her antibiotic and her uterus was so full of infection it was the size of a puppy. I got her a hysterectomy, teeth pulled, and everything. I bathed her, got her groomed and was told her hair wouldn’t grow back. I started feeding her canned dog food. Her hair grew back, and she had long silky coat. I loved her. I had her for almost 2 years but she started to fall off. I took her to my vet and he said her kidneys were shutting down and recommended I put her to sleep. I took her home and loved on her, and in a few days, I took her back to the vet. Sitting in the waiting room with her on my lap, she suddenly made this loud cry and died right there. It was so traumatic. I cried and cried. How can people be so cruel to a tiny little dog. A sweet little one eyed dog.
