I've recently emerged from five years of housing insecurity. Moving from one city to another, taking jobs just because they included accommodation, working in hostels, as a nanny, housekeeping. During this time I couldn't have a dog and my life was so empty without one. For almost a year now I've had my own place. As soon as I had my forever home i began looking for a rescue dog to share it with. I finally found my baby boy. An American Staffordshire Terrier. He was the runt of a litter bred in appalling conditions. He was beaten, starved, bitten all over & weighed half of what a Staffy his age (9 weeks) ought to have weighed. He was so frightened he was almost shut down & totally unsocialised. He did nothing but shake, eat & sleep for the first three days I had him. He'd never seen grass or a tree. He didn't know what a bird was - it all terrified him. If I put him on the grass he would cower and try to shelter behind me.For the first month he would shake & shelter behind me when anyone else was in the room or walking by as I carried him around our gardens to get him feeling secure there and knowing it was his home. He's asleep on my bed beside me as I type this. 7 months old today. At the top end of the bell curve for height & weight. We've been on a five mile walk today & he tried to kiss every person & dog he saw. He'd chase those birds he was once so afraid of if I let him. Every day I am grateful for the opportunity to do something good for that lovely little (OK he's not little but he's my baby) for that little creature. I do not understand how anyone could abandon these beautiful souls.
Such a beautiful heartwarming story people like you and Lee give me faith that there are some good people out there. I have four senior rescues one of them with only 5% vision, the other, with a collapsing, trachea one with a titanium rod in her leg and the other just a goofball
I have had my rescue Rottweiler for two years next month. Our bond is truly special. Last March she developed 4 cancerous tumors on her back left leg practically overnight. It was heartbreaking. I was so afraid of losing my baby/best friend. I am proud to say she is sitting next to me right now. That’s after a leg amputation, months of healing and all of my income tax check being spent. Financially it killed our savings, but as a family we knew we had to save her. She is not even three years old. I have six dogs and can’t rescue anymore or I will be divorced 😂😂😂
I can't Thank You enough for all you do for the animals. I am disabled and a gifted Sensitive. There isn't one video that I don't cry in, Some happy and some not so happy.❤❤
It’s such a treat for the doggies to get rewarded with lots of cool water. ❤ Thank you giving Peanut his best life-finally. Thank you, Lee for everything. 🙏
Oh my goodness poor Peanut. God bless him. Lee, thank you so much for giving him a chance to live out whatever time he has to live with love and caring. God bless you! Thank you for saving these precious fur babies too. There are no words other than if everyone can donate any amount to Lee's sanctuary, it helps these animals from being put down because of shelter overcrowding. Thank you all. We can do it together.
I'm here again, to anyone who is reading this comment that isn't subscribed, please, please, please subscribe right now, let's get the Asher house to one million subs and enable lee and all his amazing helpers to rescue as many neglected or abused animals as possible, stay happy, safe and healthy everyone ✌️
People that do not understand social media do not understand that every click and subscribing to a channel helps. For those who cannot afford to donate to sanctuaries or rescues, one can also always volunteer. I started volunteering by simply walking the dogs give them a break from the incessant barking at the kennels. I have now been volunteering for over a decade and nothing has brought me so much joy.
@@IntriguedLioness good on you, id volunteer too but I suffer from social anxiety and depression but I joined lees patreon and donate every month, I'm determined to win the lottery so I can make my friends millionaires and donate a huge chunk to the Asher house 👌
I feel sorry for the shelters who see so many beautiful dogs being put to rest. I am so glad Peanut gets to spend his last weeks in such a loving place....thank you Asher House, you truly are guardian angels to these dear animals.....much love to all of you and to your beautiful fur babies....
Love you Peanut, Daisy, Princess and everyone. Thank you Asher house for saving these precious souls and giving them our and your Love❤ with God’s grace and blessings 🙏💕🌻🌷💐🌸🌹
Thank you, Lee for giving peanut the best life before things get worse for him with his cancer. And also thanks, to the Asher staff for helping you out also. Take care God bless.. sending love and hugs
I love that you find something special about every single one of the dogs you rescue. You are something special as well. God has given you such a heart for not only animals but people as well. Thank you for sharing the journey.
God bless you for recognizing Peanuts needs & giving him the best of what he has left in his life 👍🙏❤️ You are wonderful Lee, in recognizing each of your children & their individual needs & giving them the best quality of life…God bless you all👍🙏❤️
Thank you so much Lee for saving them all. I had a hospice for senior dogs and those in transition. They are such wonderful souls and so grateful for refuge. They really also have given so much to me. I hate that I'm at an age and health, where I can't rescue any longe. Also trying to retire and make a major move where I hope I can continue to at least foster. God bless you Lee... prayers for Yulin from all who can much needed.
Sometimes I think people give up on a dog (or any animal) and dump them in shelters, like they would dump rubbish! Thank goodness there are people like Lee who care enough to give the animal a wonderful life, even if it's only for a short time! Dumping an animal should be classed as a crime against living beings!
I have volunteered for many years and I'm astounded at the cruelty of people who think that pets can be discarded in the same way that way in the US discard plastic, single-use containers, and just about everything. Sad display of gluttony and heartlessness.
@@IntriguedLioness I'm glad there are more people like myself. I actually have developed a hatred of humans, because we treat animals as a form of entertainment: hunting them, putting them in unnatural surroundings (zoos, circus etc) and the domestic animals are all to often treated as toys to be thrown around and used to breed for cash!!
Thank you Lee for giving Peanut, Daisy and all the other dogs the best of the best life they deserve so so much. You have a heart of gold!! May God bless you for all you're doing, I have no words for how my heart feels every time I watch a new video. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🐕🐾🍀🍀💝
Yes, that's the thing. It's not "despite", it's "because of". He takes the dogs with little hope of being adopted and either makes them adoptable or lets them have their best lives at The Asher House.
We also rescued a German shepherd called 'Kelsey'. Renamed her Tosca. She travelled with us for another happy 7 years! Lived in the UK Belgium and France. Most wonderful soul.
Peanut’s beautiful soul shines through, all of your beautiful rescues are lucky to have you! Lee, you are my hero, you really are. If everyone had the heart of a dog or a soul like you, imagine what a great world we would live in ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video is about the end of life for a dog. Please stop looking for "fans". It is not appropriate for this channel. And BTW get a new comment. This one is used way to much.
Lee, if I was a dog, I'd think I'd gone to heaven being with you at your rescue. God bless you and your staff for living these wonderful animals back to whole!
I started watching your content a few years ago. You inspired me to rescue. I got an eight-week-old Corgi puppy from a rescue. I named him Winston. He's been my constant companion for almost 2 years now. He's so sweet and makes me so happy.
I get tears in my eyes at the innocence of these precious animals. They deserve to live a long and happy life. I love all of them. I hope Peanut lives longer than what they are saying.🙏💕🙏
@@conky221 At this moment it's just truthful Ain't a believer myself, but i won't risk it in this instance. I just see people like him and a handful of others and i feel very small. cheers.
Thank you, Lee, for giving Peanut a beautiful home and lots of love for whatever time he has ❤❤❤ There is no better place on earth than the Asher House ❤❤❤
How ever long peanut has left he will know that he will have his best days with you and your wonderful team. Its not how long they are with us its the quality of the time left they have. So thank you so much for giving peanut the most comfortable last days of his life. God Bless you and your team.
I had a Dobermann with cardiomyopathy she was given weeks to live four years later she was PTS with cancer so i always think love is a strong incentive for a dog to live and all your dogs have love in their lives ❤
Morning Lee, hope you are having a wonderful day as well I came to same I lost my dear sweet dog Mika last week to cancer, and up until we ever found out she had cancer, I was using cbd to help her with her pains and discomfort, and it gave me an extra 2 months with her, she also had an enlarged heart, but with the cbd she became very active and was ready for every walk and was excited like a puppy every morning for our walkies 😊 I miss her so much. But watching the dedication and love you have for your dogs really helps knowing that with that same kind of love and dedication I gave to my Mika, she lived a great life full of love and happiness Thank you Lee ❤
As a senior dog lover and pittie mama, Lee thank you for rescuing Peanut. I believe these moments with you and your special pack are the best of his life. Thank you for everything you do!
I'm so glad Peanut is enjoying the last years of his life!! We ALL are not here to stay forever, but for a visit!! So make the best out of the life, God Gives Us!!❤😊
Thank you, thank you Lee for saving Peanut. This case is so dear to my heart. We lost our precious Beatrix Kiddo last June 13th of 2023 to old age. She was 17. At 14, her arthritis started getting bad but we never gave up on her. Nor did her vet but he was astounded how long she kept going. He called her the toughest little girl he had ever seen. He said when a dog gets old, it's so important that the family create the best hospice care. I considered it an honor to care for her till she passed in her sleep peacefully between my husband and I (where she slept her whole life). You are giving Peanut that hospice care that is so vital.
My daughter and I agreed to take in a dog, sight unseen, who's "family" was going to take her to the SPCA to be euthanised because they didn't want to take care of her anymore. I worked the day my daughter went to pick her up, and she called me sobbing her heart out at Choppy's condition. She took him right from his old home to the vet, where she got a laundry list of everything that was wrong with him. A extremely severe UTI, a skin condition that resulted in large bald spots all over his body, liver disease, underweight and malnourished, extreme loss of muscle mass in his legs because hecwas kept FOR YEARS in a cage that was too small for him to stand up in, open sores on his stomach from burns from lying in his own waste in that cage, a cancerous tumour on his lip, worms, and an eye infection from being in thst filthy cage all the time. The vet was able to successfully treat everything (including surgery to remove the tumour), except his liver disease, so we knew that would be what eventually took him, and we thought that if we kept his as healthy as possible he'd be with us for about a year. Choppy was a German Shepherd. First of all, we had to get his body healthy again and put weight on him with a good brand of dog food, but we also made him dinner many nights...his favourite was chicken, pumpkin, peas, and brown rice. Then we had to get his legs strong. At first he could only walk about 20ft before his legs got shaky, so we'd let him lie on the front lawn (where he could see the world that had been denied to him for 8 years) to rest, then he'd try again. He wanted nothing more than to go for walks and discover all the new things, and he worked so hard on making his legs strong so that he could go on long walks. I loved watching him be amazed and excited by everything...bushes, flowers, trees, the bins on garbage day, other people, every little thing that lay on the ground. One day he even helped me find 4 baby birds that had been blown out of their nest during a very bad storm. I wrapped them up in my hoodie and took them home. I had to take care of them for a couple days until someone from the wildlife sanctuary could pick them up. During those days, Choppy wouldn't leave their side. He sat by them, guarding them, and keeping them safe. He helped to save 4 little lives. He learned to play fetch and he loved it. He learned about kitty brothers and sisters, toys, soft beds, snuggles, good food, clean water, the freedom to walk around his home where no spot was off limits to him. Most importantly he learned how it felt to be loved by people who valued him and knew that his life had importance. And he never saw the inside of a cage again. When my daughter picked him up, the monsters who had him actually asked her if she wanted his cage. She said it took a lot of willpower to restrain herself from telling them where they could stick the cage. He had no possessions that she could take, no toys, no special bowl, not even a leash because he only ever went a few steps out the door to go to the bathroom then back into the cage (that's when they even bothered to take him out). Eventually, his back legs started to get wobbly again, and the vet said that it was a nerve issue that would never get better, so we got him a wheelchair so that he could keep going on his precious walks. After thinking we'd have a year with him, we ended up having 2 1/2. Not nearly long enough, and much less than he deserved, but much longer than we had expected. His last day was really good. It was a beautiful summer day, and he spent most of the afternoon on the front lawn, under his beach umbrella, where quite a few neighbours stopped by to visit with him. He went for a couple walks, had a picnic on the lawn, had his constantly replenished water bowl and his favourite plushies friends out there with him, and when we came in he had a yummy dinner I made for him. He spent time snuggling with each of us, then lay down on his bed, finally exhausted, and fell asleep. A couple hours later, I noticed that his breathing had changed, and I recognised that breathing. I told my daughter that it looked like Choppy was going to be leaving us very soon. She asked if we were going to take him to the vet, but I told her that he was clearly at peace and comfortable, not showing any signs of distress or pain. In fact, he never woke up again. We sat with him, and told him how much we loved him, and (like you) what an honour and pleasure it had been to be his family and give him the best time of his life, even if it had been a short time. We told him what a good boy he was, and that it was okay for him to let go and leave, that he wasn't alone and we were right there with him. He passed after about 15 minutes, and one of my sons picked him up and took him to the vet in the morning to be cremated, because my daughter and I would never have been able to carry him. It was an honour to give him the life he deserved, and to make the adjustments we had to so that life was as comfortable and easy to navigate for him as possible. Unfortunately we couldn't erase the first 8 years of his life, but in his final moments, I hope that they were forgotten because he had finally found a family who loved him wholly and unconditionally. I'm sorry for rambling. Choppy was kept away from the world for so long in that cage that I wanted to give the world to him. And I wanted to give him to the world. To let people know that this amazing, beautiful, resilient, forgiving soul had been here, that he existed. That he was important. ❤❤❤
Thank you for saving Choppy ,giving him a wonderful home, and most importantly, showing him love! You and your family are angels! Please tell your daughter congrats on biting her tongue about the horrendous cage! @Terri_MacKay
@@Terri_MacKay Thank you so much for going so deep into what happened. So they can learn what's possible. You are angels of the highest order. You gave hope, happiness and faith in recovery. A bond so strong formed. You gave that prescious baby a wonderful life. I appreciate your detail, I wish I had too. Though mine was not close to the horrific conditions. The bathing often to keep them feeling fresh and the warm water helps with muscles and pain, the carrying when the just can't do some things ( jumping up, making it to her potty pads fast enough so you watch constantly for them going that way, it's monitoring their eating and drinking, you have several medications times to give, and more. It is the greatest honor to return all the unconditional love and comfort and fun they gave you always.
@@tracyhaverstick5672 When our pets get old and/or sick, that's when they need us the most. That's when it's time to repay their years of loyalty, love, and trust, and show them how much they mean to us. If someone isn't prepared to do that, they have no business ever having a pet. My heart breaks every time I see a video about an old or sick pet that was dumped at a shelter because their people didn't want to put in the time looking after their growing needs. We rescue stray and abused cats as well, and currently have 12. Our oldest cat, Tegan, is a little old lady now, and we're doing everything for her that you did for Beatrix Kiddo. We put little stairs in the bedrooms and living room so she can get on the beds and sofa, giving her daily meds, and buying a large rubber boot tray that we put a puppy pad on so she can go to the bathroom without having to climb in and out of litter boxes. And, as you said, sometimes just carrying her where she wants to go or where she can't get to herself (like her favourite bed on the cat tree). I don't understand people who don't want to do those things for their senior or sick pets. I look at her little face, and I just love her so much that I want to make sure that every day of the rest of her life is a good day. Choppy loved his baths, and he had his first one on his first day with us. He'd been filthy and smelling so bad for who knows how long. The feeling of being clean and not having that constant smell in his nose obviously felt so good. After the bath, he went crazy rubbing himself against the towels, and lying on them on his back wiggling around making happy noises. We gave him his meds, and put his cream on his bald spots, and he was one very content dog. After that, it was never a problem getting him in the tub.
Your comment made me cry! My little kitty is 16 and in very poor health but I love on her as much as I can. She's exhibiting signs of seeking out her place to pass peacefully! It's so hard!
You and your team are truly angels walking on this earth- I just lost my companion of 11 years over the weekend and am in pain like I've never known- I don't know how yall do it other than faith that God will give us the desires of our hearts and I hope to be meeting all of your special fur babies in Heaven one day although what your doing for these babies seems like as close as you can get on earth, the only difference will be no more loss, pain or tears!
Thank you for rescuing those dogs. We're facing a significant issue in Whitfield County, Georgia, similar to many other counties across the nation. It's unprecedented. My husband and I both hold full-time jobs, yet we strive to care for as many community animals as we can. Currently, we have five dogs, three cats, and four chickens. The desire to do more is overwhelming, but we are stretched to our limits. My hope is that people will treat these innocent, beautiful souls better.
Yeah, we’re in South Carolina and the need is great here too. We have 16 indoor cats and around ten feral cats we care for. My sister has five large dogs in a single wide with an expanded living room. The dogs get yard time in shifts because two of them don’t get along. She would love to take more black dogs in (four of her dogs are black), but she’s maxed out with five, two of which are seniors. We would take more cats, but 16 is already a lot, and they don’t all get along. Plus, two are asthmatic, two have chronic sinus infections, one has stomach issues, one is FIV+, two are very anxious, and one is neurotic. Food, litter, and vet bills get kind of high when over half the cats have health issues. Still, we do our best to support local rescues when we can. My niece is actually volunteering with a horse and dog rescue. She has social anxiety, but horses and dogs are her happy place, so she can talk to people when she’s around them.
Thank you for sharing again. Cancer is a death sentence for dogs & for you to take Peanut with that diagnosis just made the world a better place. He'll be able to live the rest his life of his life surrounded by lot's of love, comfort, by a pack & being able to just "be a dog" the way a dog should be😘❤️🐕🦺🐈🙏🙏
Because we are in a rural area, many people dump their animals…. And they are just abandoned. A few months ago someone dumped a beautiful male German Shepherd mix, and I asked all over to see whose he was,or to see if they wanted to adopt him and nobody would. I fed him whenever he came over but couldn’t keep him. The shelters are so full that none of them would take him and if you report it to the Sheriffs office, they will just put them down. There was no way I would do that! Long story short, it took me a few months but I found him a good home last week and now he has a forever loving home! It was worth all the time it took to email and phone and speak to people! When I dropped him off, he reached out his paw and thanked me 😢 He knew! I love the Asher House and its mission!
Lee, thank you for taking care of Peanut, I lost one of mine to lymphoma, so I know what a heartbreaking journey it is. Xxx god bless you for all you do and your team do for so many dogs xxx
You are truly amazing you and everybody that helps animals. I donate when I can. I can can tell you if if I ever want money I would give you a huge chunk and I mean that you are truly amazing. Thank you for everything you do we love you.❤
*Each year, approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized* (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) - ASPCA Lee, thank you for pointing out that kill shelter do not want to be kill shelters. We are simply inundated with discarded, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs. In many emerging economies they don't even have spay and neuter programs. We do, yet basement breeders add to the problem. People breeding animals simply to discard them are a huge problem in the US. Thank you providing sanctuary to those that did not get adopted. You are the best! ❤ 🐾
They released some numbers about ASPCA it's a for profit place where top so called employees live lavish lives. They take a lot from donations or whatever. While letting these animals they are supposed to help with nothing but bare essentials.
@@nightynine4061 wow, I would love to hear your experience as a employee or volunteer with the ASPCA for a decade! In other words, there is corruption in any organization, corporation, and academic arena. However, the ASPCA does incredible good and it would do you good to get involved.
@@carolineridlington5010 that was my points, before I saw the negative comments on how these numbers are "untrue". Even if that was the case and these numbers are really half of what is reported it is too much for this country. We have spay and neuter programs and there is no need for this issue in 2024. I used to cringe when someone would go out of their way to adopt a dog they found on a beach in the DR or somewhere overseas... usually posting to social media to get up votes. I posted that number because I wanted to remind people that we are treating this as the disposable society that we are and we need to be aware that there are so many in need of homes in this country alone. Thank you.
When we adopted two cats many years ago, I told my third grade child that it's for life. They're family and you always do your best for them as you do for family. Things have been really rough at times, but I've never gone back on that promise in all these years with multiple cats. I don't understand people that do break that commitment to pets. I should be in a nursing home now, but I'm hanging in at home until my remaining elderly cat crosses the rainbow bridge.
God bless you Lee for seeing the beauty of peanut and giving him the best life he has left!! There is help for people to feed their animals, call around to the shelters and they should be able to help you find what you need.
He is just beautiful, with your amazing wellness products, which are something special!!! Thank you for your beautiful soul and making Peanuts' final days filled with love! Love you always always!!🩷🥰🩷🥰

Your mum is so right

You have given peanut a home and love. Thanks Lee.
I've recently emerged from five years of housing insecurity. Moving from one city to another, taking jobs just because they included accommodation, working in hostels, as a nanny, housekeeping. During this time I couldn't have a dog and my life was so empty without one. For almost a year now I've had my own place. As soon as I had my forever home i began looking for a rescue dog to share it with.
I finally found my baby boy. An American Staffordshire Terrier. He was the runt of a litter bred in appalling conditions. He was beaten, starved, bitten all over & weighed half of what a Staffy his age (9 weeks) ought to have weighed.
He was so frightened he was almost shut down & totally unsocialised. He did nothing but shake, eat & sleep for the first three days I had him. He'd never seen grass or a tree. He didn't know what a bird was - it all terrified him. If I put him on the grass he would cower and try to shelter behind me.For the first month he would shake & shelter behind me when anyone else was in the room or walking by as I carried him around our gardens to get him feeling secure there and knowing it was his home.
He's asleep on my bed beside me as I type this. 7 months old today. At the top end of the bell curve for height & weight. We've been on a five mile walk today & he tried to kiss every person & dog he saw. He'd chase those birds he was once so afraid of if I let him.
Every day I am grateful for the opportunity to do something good for that lovely little (OK he's not little but he's my baby) for that little creature. I do not understand how anyone could abandon these beautiful souls.
Wishing you and your “little” boy a happy, playful, secure life together💜🙏🏼

Thank you so much for adopting that baby & giving him the love & security he needs.
Peanut is in the best place for the autumn of his life, with the best person he could live with.
That is a lovely what to put it.
I have had my rescue Rottweiler for two years next month. Our bond is truly special. Last March she developed 4 cancerous tumors on her back left leg practically overnight. It was heartbreaking. I was so afraid of losing my baby/best friend. I am proud to say she is sitting next to me right now. That’s after a leg amputation, months of healing and all of my income tax check being spent. Financially it killed our savings, but as a family we knew we had to save her. She is not even three years old. I have six dogs and can’t rescue anymore or I will be divorced 😂😂😂
So happy Peanut is getting to spend his twilight time with Asher Housr! ❤

Thank you, Lee for giving peanut the best life before things get worse for him with his cancer. And also thanks, to the Asher staff for helping you out also. Take care God bless.. sending love and hugs
I love that you find something special about every single one of the dogs you rescue. You are something special as well. God has given you such a heart for not only animals but people as well. Thank you for sharing the journey.
God bless you for recognizing Peanuts needs & giving him the best of what he has left in his life 👍🙏❤️ You are wonderful Lee, in recognizing each of your children & their individual needs & giving them the best quality of life…God bless you all👍🙏❤️
Thank you so much Lee for saving them all. I had a hospice for senior dogs and those in transition. They are such wonderful souls and so grateful for refuge. They really also have given so much to me. I hate that I'm at an age and health, where I can't rescue any longe. Also trying to retire and make a major move where I hope I can continue to at least foster. God bless you Lee... prayers for Yulin from all who can much needed.
❤ you are a beautiful person Lee. Thank you
Sometimes I think people give up on a dog (or any animal) and dump them in shelters, like they would dump rubbish! Thank goodness there are people like Lee who care enough to give the animal a wonderful life, even if it's only for a short time! Dumping an animal should be classed as a crime against living beings!
I have volunteered for many years and I'm astounded at the cruelty of people who think that pets can be discarded in the same way that way in the US discard plastic, single-use containers, and just about everything. Sad display of gluttony and heartlessness.
@@IntriguedLionessI agree with you 100%!
@@IntriguedLioness I'm glad there are more people like myself. I actually have developed a hatred of humans, because we treat animals as a form of entertainment: hunting them, putting them in unnatural surroundings (zoos, circus etc) and the domestic animals are all to often treated as toys to be thrown around and used to breed for cash!!
They do in Australia, the laws have changed in thlast 20 years
Thank you for making Peanuts last days the best ever!👍❤️🐕
Thank you Lee for giving Peanut, Daisy and all the other dogs the best of the best life they deserve so so much. You have a heart of gold!! May God bless you for all you're doing, I have no words for how my heart feels every time I watch a new video. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🐕🐾🍀🍀💝
Thank you for having Peanut and giving him your kind ❤️ , 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Its truly, truly beautiful you adopted Peanut despite his age and health issues. May the time he has left be the best ever!❤❤❤
Yes, that's the thing. It's not "despite", it's "because of". He takes the dogs with little hope of being adopted and either makes them adoptable or lets them have their best lives at The Asher House.
He is loved and safe. For whatever time is left.❤❤❤
Thank you asher house for your love and care for peanut. Your reward will be awesome one day. ❤️❤️
We also rescued a German shepherd called 'Kelsey'. Renamed her Tosca. She travelled with us for another happy 7 years! Lived in the UK Belgium and France. Most wonderful soul.
Peanut’s beautiful soul shines through, all of your beautiful rescues are lucky to have you! Lee, you are my hero, you really are. If everyone had the heart of a dog or a soul like you, imagine what a great world we would live in ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.
This video is about the end of life for a dog. Please stop looking for "fans". It is not appropriate for this channel. And BTW get a new comment. This one is used way to much.
Peanut is a beautiful soul, just like all the others❤❤
Rollin in the grass. Living the life at Asher House. God bless those babies.
From Montreal, Canada sending our love and admiration for doing God's work!❤
Lee, if I was a dog, I'd think I'd gone to heaven being with you at your rescue. God bless you and your staff for living these wonderful animals back to whole!
😇 I agree. Lee gives them a Good (God) life!
Thanks for giving Peanut and all the dogs love and a place to relax
I started watching your content a few years ago. You inspired me to rescue. I got an eight-week-old Corgi puppy from a rescue. I named him Winston. He's been my constant companion for almost 2 years now. He's so sweet and makes me so happy.
Oh poor peanut 😢 as least he is going to live out the rest of his life, where he will be loved and comfortable ❤❤❤
Aww Peanut will have the best life ever and he will know what it means to be loved ❤ ❤
I get tears in my eyes at the innocence of these precious animals. They deserve to live a long and happy life. I love all of them. I hope Peanut lives longer than what they are saying.🙏💕🙏
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pack. We love you and support your sancutary as the best place for these animals to live out their lives.
Sweet peanut❤ we love you
I could watch this all day long !
As we say in my country, May God take days from me and give years to you.
Bless you and all your pups.
That’s beautiful
@@conky221 At this moment it's just truthful Ain't a believer myself, but i won't risk it in this instance.
I just see people like him and a handful of others and i feel very small. cheers.
Thank you, Lee, for giving Peanut a beautiful home and lots of love for whatever time he has ❤❤❤ There is no better place on earth than the Asher House ❤❤❤
Peanut is exactly where he is meant to be for this chapter of his life❤❤❤
How ever long peanut has left he will know that he will have his best days with you and your wonderful team. Its not how long they are with us its the quality of the time left they have. So thank you so much for giving peanut the most comfortable last days of his life. God Bless you and your team.
Thank you Lee and the Asher House for giving Peanut as much quality time as possible.❤❤❤❤
Your an amazing man, you and all the people who stand beside you, behind you that help all those precious animals ❤ ♥ ❤ ❤
I had a Dobermann with cardiomyopathy she was given weeks to live four years later she was PTS with cancer so i always think love is a strong incentive for a dog to live and all your dogs have love in their lives ❤
Morning Lee, hope you are having a wonderful day as well
I came to same I lost my dear sweet dog Mika last week to cancer, and up until we ever found out she had cancer, I was using cbd to help her with her pains and discomfort, and it gave me an extra 2 months with her, she also had an enlarged heart, but with the cbd she became very active and was ready for every walk and was excited like a puppy every morning for our walkies 😊
I miss her so much. But watching the dedication and love you have for your dogs really helps knowing that with that same kind of love and dedication I gave to my Mika, she lived a great life full of love and happiness
Thank you Lee ❤
Thank you Lee for saving all these beautiful dogs.
As a senior dog lover and pittie mama, Lee thank you for rescuing Peanut. I believe these moments with you and your special pack are the best of his life. Thank you for everything you do!
If I was Peanut , I'd be Ever So Grateful to be There , getting CBD And fresh air .😊
Thank you for saving these precious angels, we need more people like you. Bless you 💕
Peanut has the most amazing *soulful* looking eyes I've ever seen!
What a lovely property the dogs get to play in!
I'm so glad Peanut is enjoying the last years of his life!! We ALL are not here to stay forever, but for a visit!! So make the best out of the life, God Gives Us!!❤😊
Thank you, thank you Lee for saving Peanut. This case is so dear to my heart. We lost our precious Beatrix Kiddo last June 13th of 2023 to old age. She was 17. At 14, her arthritis started getting bad but we never gave up on her. Nor did her vet but he was astounded how long she kept going. He called her the toughest little girl he had ever seen. He said when a dog gets old, it's so important that the family create the best hospice care. I considered it an honor to care for her till she passed in her sleep peacefully between my husband and I (where she slept her whole life). You are giving Peanut that hospice care that is so vital.
My daughter and I agreed to take in a dog, sight unseen, who's "family" was going to take her to the SPCA to be euthanised because they didn't want to take care of her anymore. I worked the day my daughter went to pick her up, and she called me sobbing her heart out at Choppy's condition. She took him right from his old home to the vet, where she got a laundry list of everything that was wrong with him. A extremely severe UTI, a skin condition that resulted in large bald spots all over his body, liver disease, underweight and malnourished, extreme loss of muscle mass in his legs because hecwas kept FOR YEARS in a cage that was too small for him to stand up in, open sores on his stomach from burns from lying in his own waste in that cage, a cancerous tumour on his lip, worms, and an eye infection from being in thst filthy cage all the time. The vet was able to successfully treat everything (including surgery to remove the tumour), except his liver disease, so we knew that would be what eventually took him, and we thought that if we kept his as healthy as possible he'd be with us for about a year.
Choppy was a German Shepherd. First of all, we had to get his body healthy again and put weight on him with a good brand of dog food, but we also made him dinner many nights...his favourite was chicken, pumpkin, peas, and brown rice. Then we had to get his legs strong. At first he could only walk about 20ft before his legs got shaky, so we'd let him lie on the front lawn (where he could see the world that had been denied to him for 8 years) to rest, then he'd try again. He wanted nothing more than to go for walks and discover all the new things, and he worked so hard on making his legs strong so that he could go on long walks. I loved watching him be amazed and excited by everything...bushes, flowers, trees, the bins on garbage day, other people, every little thing that lay on the ground. One day he even helped me find 4 baby birds that had been blown out of their nest during a very bad storm. I wrapped them up in my hoodie and took them home. I had to take care of them for a couple days until someone from the wildlife sanctuary could pick them up. During those days, Choppy wouldn't leave their side. He sat by them, guarding them, and keeping them safe. He helped to save 4 little lives.
He learned to play fetch and he loved it. He learned about kitty brothers and sisters, toys, soft beds, snuggles, good food, clean water, the freedom to walk around his home where no spot was off limits to him. Most importantly he learned how it felt to be loved by people who valued him and knew that his life had importance. And he never saw the inside of a cage again. When my daughter picked him up, the monsters who had him actually asked her if she wanted his cage. She said it took a lot of willpower to restrain herself from telling them where they could stick the cage. He had no possessions that she could take, no toys, no special bowl, not even a leash because he only ever went a few steps out the door to go to the bathroom then back into the cage (that's when they even bothered to take him out).
Eventually, his back legs started to get wobbly again, and the vet said that it was a nerve issue that would never get better, so we got him a wheelchair so that he could keep going on his precious walks.
After thinking we'd have a year with him, we ended up having 2 1/2. Not nearly long enough, and much less than he deserved, but much longer than we had expected. His last day was really good. It was a beautiful summer day, and he spent most of the afternoon on the front lawn, under his beach umbrella, where quite a few neighbours stopped by to visit with him. He went for a couple walks, had a picnic on the lawn, had his constantly replenished water bowl and his favourite plushies friends out there with him, and when we came in he had a yummy dinner I made for him. He spent time snuggling with each of us, then lay down on his bed, finally exhausted, and fell asleep. A couple hours later, I noticed that his breathing had changed, and I recognised that breathing. I told my daughter that it looked like Choppy was going to be leaving us very soon. She asked if we were going to take him to the vet, but I told her that he was clearly at peace and comfortable, not showing any signs of distress or pain. In fact, he never woke up again. We sat with him, and told him how much we loved him, and (like you) what an honour and pleasure it had been to be his family and give him the best time of his life, even if it had been a short time. We told him what a good boy he was, and that it was okay for him to let go and leave, that he wasn't alone and we were right there with him. He passed after about 15 minutes, and one of my sons picked him up and took him to the vet in the morning to be cremated, because my daughter and I would never have been able to carry him.
It was an honour to give him the life he deserved, and to make the adjustments we had to so that life was as comfortable and easy to navigate for him as possible. Unfortunately we couldn't erase the first 8 years of his life, but in his final moments, I hope that they were forgotten because he had finally found a family who loved him wholly and unconditionally.
I'm sorry for rambling. Choppy was kept away from the world for so long in that cage that I wanted to give the world to him. And I wanted to give him to the world. To let people know that this amazing, beautiful, resilient, forgiving soul had been here, that he existed. That he was important. ❤❤❤
Thank you for saving Choppy ,giving him a wonderful home, and most importantly, showing him love! You and your family are angels! Please tell your daughter congrats on biting her tongue about the horrendous cage!
@Terri_MacKay
@@Terri_MacKay Thank you so much for going so deep into what happened. So they can learn what's possible. You are angels of the highest order. You gave hope, happiness and faith in recovery. A bond so strong formed. You gave that prescious baby a wonderful life. I appreciate your detail, I wish I had too. Though mine was not close to the horrific conditions. The bathing often to keep them feeling fresh and the warm water helps with muscles and pain, the carrying when the just can't do some things ( jumping up, making it to her potty pads fast enough so you watch constantly for them going that way, it's monitoring their eating and drinking, you have several medications times to give, and more. It is the greatest honor to return all the unconditional love and comfort and fun they gave you always.
@@tracyhaverstick5672 When our pets get old and/or sick, that's when they need us the most. That's when it's time to repay their years of loyalty, love, and trust, and show them how much they mean to us. If someone isn't prepared to do that, they have no business ever having a pet. My heart breaks every time I see a video about an old or sick pet that was dumped at a shelter because their people didn't want to put in the time looking after their growing needs.
We rescue stray and abused cats as well, and currently have 12. Our oldest cat, Tegan, is a little old lady now, and we're doing everything for her that you did for Beatrix Kiddo. We put little stairs in the bedrooms and living room so she can get on the beds and sofa, giving her daily meds, and buying a large rubber boot tray that we put a puppy pad on so she can go to the bathroom without having to climb in and out of litter boxes. And, as you said, sometimes just carrying her where she wants to go or where she can't get to herself (like her favourite bed on the cat tree).
I don't understand people who don't want to do those things for their senior or sick pets. I look at her little face, and I just love her so much that I want to make sure that every day of the rest of her life is a good day.
Choppy loved his baths, and he had his first one on his first day with us. He'd been filthy and smelling so bad for who knows how long. The feeling of being clean and not having that constant smell in his nose obviously felt so good. After the bath, he went crazy rubbing himself against the towels, and lying on them on his back wiggling around making happy noises. We gave him his meds, and put his cream on his bald spots, and he was one very content dog. After that, it was never a problem getting him in the tub.
Your comment made me cry! My little kitty is 16 and in very poor health but I love on her as much as I can. She's exhibiting signs of seeking out her place to pass peacefully! It's so hard!
Lee!! You are awesome!! Bless you for your amazing work! ❤🎉 Please hug Peanut for me!!❤🎉
Thanks Lee!!! Peanut live your best life. You are with Lee.❤❤❤
Peanut is so adorable. He is in the best place to get the best of what time he has left. Thank you Lee.
You and your team are truly angels walking on this earth-
I just lost my companion of 11 years over the weekend and am in pain like I've never known- I don't know how yall do it other than faith that God will give us the desires of our hearts and I hope to be meeting all of your special fur babies in Heaven one day although what your doing for these babies seems like as close as you can get on earth, the only difference will be no more loss, pain or tears!
🙏🏻
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my GSD last year, so I understand what you are experiencing.
Thank you for rescuing those dogs. We're facing a significant issue in Whitfield County, Georgia, similar to many other counties across the nation. It's unprecedented. My husband and I both hold full-time jobs, yet we strive to care for as many community animals as we can. Currently, we have five dogs, three cats, and four chickens. The desire to do more is overwhelming, but we are stretched to our limits. My hope is that people will treat these innocent, beautiful souls better.
Yeah, we’re in South Carolina and the need is great here too. We have 16 indoor cats and around ten feral cats we care for. My sister has five large dogs in a single wide with an expanded living room. The dogs get yard time in shifts because two of them don’t get along. She would love to take more black dogs in (four of her dogs are black), but she’s maxed out with five, two of which are seniors. We would take more cats, but 16 is already a lot, and they don’t all get along. Plus, two are asthmatic, two have chronic sinus infections, one has stomach issues, one is FIV+, two are very anxious, and one is neurotic. Food, litter, and vet bills get kind of high when over half the cats have health issues. Still, we do our best to support local rescues when we can. My niece is actually volunteering with a horse and dog rescue. She has social anxiety, but horses and dogs are her happy place, so she can talk to people when she’s around them.
If I were a dog in my last days, there’s no place I’d rather be than at the Asher House❤❤
Thank you for sharing again. Cancer is a death sentence for dogs & for you to take Peanut with that diagnosis just made the world a better place. He'll be able to live the rest his life of his life surrounded by lot's of love, comfort, by a pack & being able to just "be a dog" the way a dog should be😘❤️🐕🦺🐈🙏🙏
Thank you for saving Peanut and all these babies! What a gigantic loving heart you have, Lee! We all love you, too! 💋💕🙏🏽🐾
Because we are in a rural area, many people dump their animals…. And they are just abandoned. A few months ago someone dumped a beautiful male German Shepherd mix, and I asked all over to see whose he was,or to see if they wanted to adopt him and nobody would. I fed him whenever he came over but couldn’t keep him.
The shelters are so full that none of them would take him and if you report it to the Sheriffs office, they will just put them down. There was no way I would do that! Long story short, it took me a few months but I found him a good home last week and now he has a forever loving home! It was worth all the time it took to email and phone and speak to people! When I dropped him off, he reached out his paw and thanked me 😢 He knew! I love the Asher House and its mission!
Every sweet glance at Matilda makes my heart melt!💕
Aaaah Lee and your team will have given Peanut his best, safest, most loving time before he leaves us ❤
Lee, thank you for taking care of Peanut, I lost one of mine to lymphoma, so I know what a heartbreaking journey it is. Xxx god bless you for all you do and your team do for so many dogs xxx
You are truly amazing you and everybody that helps animals. I donate when I can. I can can tell you if if I ever want money I would give you a huge chunk and I mean that you are truly amazing. Thank you for everything you do we love you.❤
Yes thank you for Peanut.
*Each year, approximately 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized* (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) - ASPCA
Lee, thank you for pointing out that kill shelter do not want to be kill shelters. We are simply inundated with discarded, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs.
In many emerging economies they don't even have spay and neuter programs. We do, yet basement breeders add to the problem. People breeding animals simply to discard them are a huge problem in the US.
Thank you providing sanctuary to those that did not get adopted. You are the best! ❤ 🐾
Unbelievable numbers....should not be happening.....
They released some numbers about ASPCA it's a for profit place where top so called employees live lavish lives. They take a lot from donations or whatever. While letting these animals they are supposed to help with nothing but bare essentials.
@@nightynine4061 wow, I would love to hear your experience as a employee or volunteer with the ASPCA for a decade!
In other words, there is corruption in any organization, corporation, and academic arena.
However, the ASPCA does incredible good and it would do you good to get involved.
@@carolineridlington5010 that was my points, before I saw the negative comments on how these numbers are "untrue". Even if that was the case and these numbers are really half of what is reported it is too much for this country. We have spay and neuter programs and there is no need for this issue in 2024.
I used to cringe when someone would go out of their way to adopt a dog they found on a beach in the DR or somewhere overseas... usually posting to social media to get up votes.
I posted that number because I wanted to remind people that we are treating this as the disposable society that we are and we need to be aware that there are so many in need of homes in this country alone.
Thank you.
Can't even read it, just like Sarah's human society commercial = NOPE CHSNGE CHANNEL.
When we adopted two cats many years ago, I told my third grade child that it's for life. They're family and you always do your best for them as you do for family. Things have been really rough at times, but I've never gone back on that promise in all these years with multiple cats. I don't understand people that do break that commitment to pets. I should be in a nursing home now, but I'm hanging in at home until my remaining elderly cat crosses the rainbow bridge.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your fine example❤
GOD BLESS YOU, YOU'RE A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE TO US ALL!❤❤❤
Bless you!
Thank you for being true to your cat:)
I will pray for you both.
God bless you Lee for seeing the beauty of peanut and giving him the best life he has left!!
There is help for people to feed their animals, call around to the shelters and they should be able to help you find what you need.
He is just beautiful, with your amazing wellness products, which are something special!!! Thank you for your beautiful soul and making Peanuts' final days filled with love! Love you always always!!🩷🥰🩷🥰
