That breaks my heart that a dog had been so traumatized that they don't enjoy human affection and touch! I hope one day she's able to trust people. Bless you Lee! ❤
She is so beautiful!💖
She also just could be semi feral. Like born under a barn or something. Gsd's especially need the window of social training before age of 12 weeks to become pets.
This is also the problem with puppy mills - lack of socialization during formative weeks creates trauma and fear. I have a foster right now whose fear and anxiety is heartbreaking. Please say a prayer for her that it’s not a lifetime sentence, and for me that I can help her through this. Thank you.
🩷🙏🙌
That's not always the case, sometimes there are a few dogs who just wired different, I have two of mine, delivered the two myself, raised them until now, five years later and still does not let me pet her much, scared and stuff. I can tell he loves me and looks for me but is just not big on physical touch human wise
Your patience is what makes you sooo special. Thank you, Lee xx
Every dog should experience a life like Lee has. Wide open fields where they can explore and socialise. What a happy life that would be. 😊
Oh Opal im watching this with tears in my eyes
She is so nervous
You are so kind and patience with her ❤❤
What's important isn't always correcting the behavior and this is where it is highlighted the most. What's important is that she lives out the rest of her life however long or short that may be in an environment that is safe and healthy for her.
Wow, you know Opal knows in her heart that Lee is 💯 on her side!!!
From the beginning of this video, she wasn't terrified of Lee!!!
Thank you Lee for sharing this video with us❤❤❤❤
I rescued a Siberian Husky who was exactly like Opal. He was the most gentle soul but for 13 years he circled and just protected. He left an indelible mark on anyone who met him. Definitely a gift from God ❤
Thank you for taking Opal and helping her become the “perfect” dog you saw in her from the start. ❤ It may be only 6 months but what a transformation already! You all are truly awesome! x
I feel so terrible for Opal😢 It's so sad that humans can put an animal through so much that it nearly breaks them!! At least she is now safe and cared for... you never know, she may let her guard down and learn to trust humans again someday❤Thanks for saving this sweetie!!
Hopefully Opal will feel more secure in her life now being with you Lee, knowing you are pure love to all the animals, its so sad that some humans can be so cruel to animals😢 🐾🙏😘💕
What a shame about opal. She must have had a terrible life before for her to be so scared , even around you. But at least she has now fitted into the pack. She is so beautiful. Thanks to all who helped her become one of the pack. At least we know she will be safe there. Ì hpe you all have a wonderful day. Love to all ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇦🇺
Poor sweet baby ❤
Poor baby she is so sweet someone did very bad things to her now you are safe sweetheart 😘😇❤🥺👏💪🤞
Thank you for not giving up on Opal. It breaks my heart that she is so traumatized.
May God bless you indeed for all you do.
Love from South Africa xoxo
Opal looks like part Dingo. Especially her head/face. And that would explain her personality.
Hi. Opal is lovely n you are doing great thing not everyone gets a chance like this. I love your videos. Well i am fan of ranger🙂 include him more in your vidoes plz🤗.
Oh wow! She looks exactly like my dog. She's got the same colors, shape and face than my Chester. Embark dna test says he is mix : husky siberian, husky alaskan type, german sheppard, malamute and samoyed. Such a good dog. Poor baby!! :(
I was wondering, what happens to the dogs who are too aggressive and/ or you can’t integrate into the pack? Love all you do! ❤
Opal wil be oké…. Maybe she won’t let you pet her… but, she doesn’t run away either… just keeping her space…. She loves❤️You💫
Your love and ability to go above and beyond for each of these precious creatures, brings such happiness to my heart.
These dogs remind me so much of people who've been mistreated, and are now traumatised. The emotions in the dogs are so much like us humans. Maybe that why we love them so much. As a human species, we can identify with them completely. Thank goodness for Lee, and the Sanctuary. So many saved little souls. ❤🙏🐶🐶❤️
Lee is amazing!
Lee always puts the dogs first. He wants them to have a good life. The dogs are so happy to be with him and his staff. Amazing how much good caring can do.
Poor Opal she must have been so mistreated thank you for recognising this and giving her the opportunity to just be herself and to gain trust at her own pace. 🙏🏻❤
Karma!!!
From then to now is amazing ❤ she loves her dog family where she finds her comfort and safety. Thank you for giving her a chance. We love you Opal and Asher House
Lee's patience, kindness and love for his 'babies' shines through .. We need more Lee Ashers in this world gone mad....
“ Now that she KNOWS nobody will ever hurt her again…”. That’s all I need to hear. Thank you God for Lee❤. I pray we can all learn from this man.
Amen 🌸
I'm glad she feels safe around the dogs.
I love the way you guys heal them, offering safety security & the support they need. Sending love 🐾♥️
She is so precious. I believe she will come around. She is so beautiful.
She may or may not ever desire human contact but she will always be happy at the sanctuary. Clearly she is happy and safe. That may be all she needs to have a great life.
Aww I’m glad that she’s safe with you and is enjoying the pack and nature!
It is amazing the time, and attention you give these dogs. Speaks volumes. God bless you, and your family. 😊
Amen 🌸
Have a beautiful day, Lee! Total props for respecting all dogs!
Thank you for bringing Opal to the sanctuary and working so hard with her to help her over her anxiety and fear of humans. Also, thank you for your decision to keep her so that she can live the rest of her life in peace and without fear.
One day. She will realize she is safe.
This is what "sanctuary " is all about!!! Awesome ❤
Yes! 🙂

Thank you for being patient with every dog. Especially dogs like Opal, Shelby. You have the best heart ❤
Opal is a beauty. Thanks for telling us her story. Amazing dedication. What a resource Sweet Dog Days is! Opal's made good friends and she's home. Good for you, Lee.
It truly amazes me how you respect each of your dog's personalities. Just like humans- we're all different. Love to you and all of your beautiful dogs from Austria.
She is gorgeous ❤ and you are the best
Opal's story is heartbreaking 😢 She's here for Life 🙏 ❤ 🙏
Maybe, she will overcome ❤
She is amazing!! I'm glad that you have the resources to help you through things. It's always wonderful to have others help. I'm so glad that you found each other , she needs your special touch, your unconditional love, your gentleness, and your patience!! Thank you for you and your heart!! Love you always always!!🩷🥰🩷😘
No dog should have Opal's story. But she's in a safe place. The "Sanctuary" really lives up to its name. Thanks Lee, the "Sanctuary Crew", rescue volunteers, and LISA who have to see just how horrible human beings can be. 😢
Opal is a beautiful dog/soul. She is so, so lucky she has landed in the perfect situation. You are an amazing man with an awesome mission.
“Every dog has their story”…Amen, Lee. God bless you…
I adopted 2 purebreed cats that had been bred for years! It took the younger one over 12 months to cuddle up or sit on my knee, now she's always by my side. The older one was bred for approx 8 years and is so tramitised thatbI can only give her a quick pat when I put her food dow. I know she likes it because she immediately starts to purr but her anxiety is so bad that if I walk or move anywhere near her, she rushes off. I leave it to them to make the rules, knowing this is as good as it gets but they are warm, dry, safe, well fed, horribly spoiled, and I just about cry when I see them doing happy zoomies round the house. Thank you Lee and your team for doing what you do for the fur babies. 😊❤
I just found this channel...GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND ALL THE DOGS!!!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Opal is beautiful! That poor baby. You can see it in her eyes how scared she is.
Giving her space, respecting her boundaries, and meeting her on a level she's comfortable with is the best possible thing you can do for Opal. Thank you, Lee, for recognizing that not all dogs are comfortable with petting and affection, no matter how hard you try.
Yes soooooo BEAUTIFUL I wish I could ADOPT her ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BUT WITH YOU GUY'S SHE WILL DO GREAT AMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for letting her just “be.” That’s wonderful. She’s living her best life, for now.
I love how you understand her situation and haven’t given up on her but let’s her enjoy life on her own terms.
My heart and my eyes broke watching opal’s body language, face, and her bark..she is very precious. Asher, you are truly an awesome person!!! ❤️
Hi Lee
With time, i think you will win her over in the end. It seems that you can overcome any problems with opal but only in time, I love all your dogs
But especially, extra kisses to Matilda she is my favourite 😍
That is just Heartbreaking that a dog has been so abused they want nothing to do with a person. I'm so grateful for the Asher House
Lee Asher, thank you for rescuing "OPAL." You are "goodness" in a troubled world.
I believe you are a man of high character and integrity. I pray that one day soon, Opal will feel and trust all the love you have for her.
God bless you and "The Asher House!"🙂
Thank you for existing, Lee. Thank you for the Asher House. Thank you Asher House staff and all who donate and contribute to the well-being of these dogs. Thank you for giving Opal a life and letting her be herself and feel
safe. ❤
We had a dog that came from a puppy mill . He was the same way. Never been around people. It was sad, but he had a good life for awhile. ❤
Lee, you meet the dogs where they are, that is a wonderful thing to do.
its a heck of a feeling knowing you saved a dog's life!
That poor pup. I hope she is able to eventually relax more. So glad she has the pack for support and you to help build her confidence. You are a blessing. We had a cat that took a year and a half before she really was able to relax in our home. He had facial deformities and spent most of his 4 years in a shelter, before we took him. RIP Quincy, we loved you so much!
She’s in the right place and as long as you let her do things on her terms one day she will surprise you with a dog hug! She’s so happy being part of the pack blessings to you and your staff xxx
Opal is precious! It's heartbreaking that she has been through so much trauma that she shuts down around humans. I can only imagine how bad it was for her! 😢 I am glad you have her and that she will never be harmed again! She looks happy and relaxed with your precious pack! She's very special! 💞💞💞💞💞
This is definitely a dog that needs a sanctuary like yours
Maybe she will be okay with pets some day, but if not, she can enjoy playing with the dogs instead for the rest of her life
Oh my word what that poor girl must have been through. Thank heavens for you Lee giving her what she needs or rather not giving her what she doesn’t want 💜💜
Something really bad happened to her. Thank you Lee for loving Opal unconditionally. She is in the right place even if it's for the rest of her life. She will always feel love and friendship, always.❤️🐕❤️
You are awesome Lee!🫶🫶🫶
Lee, you can see in the rescue video of Opal, she knows she is safe with you. ❤
When they're traumatized as they are it is difficult for them to understand the why and where. Hope she starts glowing. Blessings to you for caring for her.❤❤❤
Thank you for giving her this wonderful home. You can tell she loves being there!!!
Dog whisperer. She will have a wonderful life at Asher House💗
I'm glad she's out of whatever environment she came from and is now where she's meant to be. She's definitely come a big way since the first day. She is much happier you can see it. God bless you and all those there that make this possible for dogs of all kinds!❤❤
A beautiful and very touching video! Thank you for your love and care for mistreated dogs. God bless you Lee!
It brakes my heart for any animal to have gone through so much 😪 💔 I am grateful that you are going to keep her that way she knows she has a loving home ❤ God bless you and all who help animal's
Hi Lee , I read in google in Valley Animal Centre in Fresno California there’s this beautiful sweet dog named Sora , she’s been in that shelter for 980 days , after 900 days she was adopted but unfortunately so sad the poor Sora was returned after 24 hours. Please please I’m pleading you Lee help the poor dog, or anyone here who could give Sora a loving home. Sora is so broken, I was in tears reading about her. I just read today 😢thank you, God bless you more Lee 🙏❤️🌹
I also read that, she was adopted but returned quickly again
@@nancyschultz6719 it’s heartbreaking, I wanted to help the poor dog but I can’t do anything, just to announced here ,it’s Lee that comes to my mind😢
@@nancyschultz6719 I hope Lee will read my comments 😢
Hopefully he sees the comment 🙏
@@emmafagan thank you; I’m thinking of texting through messenger but there’s more than one Asher Lee .😢❤️
Sweet girl, so long as she is happy and safe….🙏🙏💖
Thank you for all do for all the animals.❤
Awww, Lee ... I'm SO glad you rescued her -- you can SEE the difference. In the before video, she's too skinny and her tail was tucked down. She looks MUCH healthier now and looks comfortable in her surroundings. You and your team are, once again, working wonders on another saved life. Thank you for your never-ending compassion. ❤
Without you, Opal would have just been another forgotten dog destined for obscurity. Now, she has friends and a loving Dad who is allowing her to grow and learn to love and trust at her own pace. Thanks Lee for your patience and wisdom. 🌹🌹
I rescued a kitty from a bad situation on the streets of NYC. It has taken an entire year for her to feel confident enough to leave the room that I set up for her. Now after 16 months she is exploring the whole house and has made my elderly kitty her best friend. However, she still will not let me near her. She watches me all the time but if I even make the tiniest move towards her, she runs away. I can only imagine what she experienced from humans as a stray & it breaks my heart. She has a forever momma for life now and if she never lets me touch her, it doesn’t matter because I know she’s happy. Trauma in animals (and people) can only be overcome with unconditional love & patience.
I did something similar. And now 3 years later she will sleep on the bed with me and I can pat her but I still can’t pick her up. Keep loving her and I hope she will come round with more time
Opal has a mind of her own!! But, Lee?? Don't let that stop you from loving and caring about her!! She will come around, EVENTUALLY!!
You gave her friends.... Friends she connects to and loves. For her having them must be heaven.
Opal is adorable dog
She loves the pack
You are so patient with her
You are so awesome Lee
Thankgoodness Lee, for you and other such good folk and the pack. It hurts to see how the precious girl was, and it's a joy to see how well she is doing💖🙌
Once again lee, you are awesome!!❤
Lee your love and the love of "The Asher House" is a God send to this beautiful dog,she will realize she is safe🐾🇺🇲
I love that you let each individual dog be themselves. These dogs all (just like a lot of humans) have a backpack of past experiences, which made them who they are today. You give them tools and space to help them grow, but don’t force anything upon them. It’s about them and their welfare and not about you, and you respect their boundaries and dignity, which makes you one hell of an example for a lot of pet owners!!!
Keep us updated it would be lovely to follow her progress
Lee you are so wise. So many would have forced the issue and then said oh she doesn’t like me and she would be back at the shelter.The pack is her family and she’s happy and healthy and that’s what matters. You are an amazing soul with so much compassion thank you and the staff for understanding this beautiful girl🫶❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so very much Lee for all that you do for all the animals in your care you are one special human being xx
Sweet girl. She gets to run free and get comfort from the other dogs. Thats wonderful
Opal is a beauty! God bless you and everyone at The Asher House. ❤️
Opal looks very comfortable with the pack, great add Lee, thanks for her update.... MJ Westmont IL
Opal is happy - that is the best. Just like people, we each have our own ways. So glad to see her doing well and thriving in the Pack! Good job to all of you at the Asher House!
You love your pups for who they are, not what you feel they should be. Thank you, for everything you do.
Also, I volunteered with a dog rescue for around 12 years when I was growing up. We had our share of dogs who would always go into fight mode. I know the flashbacks well, they’re not easy to experience.
I'm sure this gorgeous dog was subjected to something truly vile... and it shatters my heart in a million pieces. But I'm also pretty sure that one day, when she's done assessing Lee and the new situation she's in, Opal will allow herself to mellow and accept human touch. Just keep letting her unfold at her own pace. Bless your whole team for taking her in! 😇
Each dog's happiness and health is what matters. Yes. Bless you Asher House. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sending Love to Opal ❤
My son has a shepherd that's like Opal. Thank you for all you do for all the animals. I know I keep repeating it but I'm very thankful for those who help instead of harm.
