Yeah, such a wonderful person. Kind of...a rarity where I live (NYC. Manhattan is the worst of the boroughs. Anyone who can live there has so much money they think they own the world. I live in Queens, must more pleasant and quiet. I love this city but sometimes it needs a reality check. I'm all too happy to give it.)
the kindness of the cat owner has slightly assuaged my anger at whoever abandoned this dog, poor wee floof. Some people should not be allowed to own pets 😞
I wanted to hug him. After seeing him all cleaned up, I want to give him a warm sweater, a steak dinner, and a soft bed. He deserves all that as a bare minimum.
Please if you can, update us on Jack's situation. He's so calm and sweet, and has been so deprived and no doubt abused. He deserves a good home and I hope he will get one.
I hope jack comes back after getting adopted into his loving caring forever home so we get to see him again all healthy and cared for (under a diff name) 😭
If he gets adopted by a fan I imagine that could happen. But whoever takes him in I'm sure they'll get this video for whatever groomer they take him to later to reference so maybe.
I can only image how good he must feel after having all of that filth and matting removed. His best life is about to begin. Thank you for helping him into his next chapter.
I did some work for a guy who has a dog that extremely matted and filthy. I believe she is an Irish Hound. I know the guy has loads of money, so it really surprised me to see his pet in such a terrible condition. I first did work for him 2 years ago, then returned a few weeks ago and she is still the same.
I will never understand how someone can look such a sweet dog in the face and do that to them. My dog was mistreated by being left in a crate for who knows how long and now he's completely ruined for crate training. I've tried but he will hurt himself trying to get out so he gets to stay in the office while I'm gone. He's perfectly okay in the room while I'm at work, he just can't go into crates anymore and I can't blame him.
Animals and children. It’s like they have zero respect for life, yet too much of a coward to say it to someone who could argue back. Trusted, Responsible and could just say ‘no I pass’, but actively choose to make the decision to be evil in a cowardly way.
Even with elderly animal hoarders (who I know sometimes don't understand what they're doing is severe neglect), there's gotta be a point before it gets to that level of stench and other conditions where they second-guess themselves...
@lightsoutisay They do. I adopted my dog from a couple that claimed they just didn't have time for him anymore and were looking to rehome him. I didn't realize how badly neglected he was for a week or so because I've never had a dog in such bad condition before. They were selective about rehoming him, too. They gave him to me rather than the 18 year old who would have stuck him in a muddy yard with her family's six other dogs. I had to deworm him, completely redo his vaccinations, figure out his allergies and get him to gain 25 pounds when he was clearly having digestive issues (had been fed food he was allergic to for potentially over a year). So they knew they were abusing him and seemed to care at least a little bit.
It actually broke my heart seeing this poor baby in the shape he's in. I'm unfortunately unable to adopt him, as much as I would like to but maybe this will help just a bit
He was no doubt depressed when he came in. But by the end he brightened up. Probably because he felt so much better. And had some treats. Which I’m sure he hadn’t had I a very long time if at all. I know he will find a loving home. He deserves the absolute best ❤
ME TOO! I hope he gets his happily-ever-after home soon! Jack...You are handsome! You are a good boy! You are safe! Please hang in there! It'll get better! I promise! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just about gasped out loud at the first shot of what he looked like under all the fur, I was not prepared for how skinny he really is! He looks so much happier at the end of the video though and seems to be really enjoying the pats, the way he's leaning into people is amazing considering how badly he's been treated.
Not all too often I get the feeling that social media has bettered our lives but when I hear that doggies like Jack get the help they so desperately deserve I’m happy to have my TH-cam.
Animals really are great instinctive judges of character....they know when somebody has good intentions/wants to help them. Of course some of the dogs she grooms are so anxious they freak out, but that's just their anxiety getting the best of them.
That ending was one of the most satisfying endings I have seen in awhile. Not only for the before and after, but more for his palpable happiness and relief. Just a great video all around.
When we got our 13 month old Bichon Frisé , she had spent most of her time in a cage as her owners worked and decided they shouldn’t have got her. We took her home and she was also heavily matted and urine stained too. Her first groom she had to be completely shaved like Jack. After her bathing she shone like a pearl and felt so silky . We promised her she wouldn’t have to go through anything like that again. A few months later and 2 or 3 grooms on, she became a Grande Princess Bichon. Thank you Vanessa and all caring groomers who help these wonderful babies become their true selves. Karen Uk❤❤
I had a bichon many years ago called mitsy. She lived to 16 years old and was an absolute sweety that would smile on demand 😊. I cant imagine letting her get like that.
I wish I could do more. And I say this next bit because maybe it will inspire others to give. I gave 10 without comment and this 10 with. I wasnt going to comment but I thought maybe, just maybe it might help if I did. The reason I cannot give more is because I don't have it. Currently the house is only 52 degrees and will go down lower tonight. I have MS and even though my hubby works full time we cannot afford a big bill. Please, I DO NOT want sympathy and only say this to show it is possible to give even if you have nothing. And it gave me a reason to feel good about the day. I know so many like us can't give at this time but we decided we can't afford to buy xmas prezzies this year so in the absence of the joy of giving this was a joy to do. All love to all those who help the ones who don't know why they are hurting and why they are treated so badly. Again please no messages to me this is only about the animals and those angels who care for them. It was this post (Jack) and another pup post about Angel's emergency groom at the SPCA that inspired this tonight. Only love to all. ❤
I know you said no messages to you, but if people were more like you Jack would have never ended up like this. It's easy to give when you have a lot, but you can tell what a person's heart is really like by how they give when they only have a little. I know it's just one internet stranger to another, but thank you for being you. It makes the world a better place when there's such good souls out there like you.
I adopted my Sphynx cat 2 weeks ago from a rescue. They said he’d been found neglected and starved and was skin and bones. He’s sitting on my lap right now and I’m crying for the dog and for him. I am glad they both were found and helped.
Thank you for being so kind, caring, empathic and gentle. There should be a circle of hell for people who do not treat dogs with the love that the dogs give us unconditionally.
The look on Jack’s face when he turned to you after his matting came off. So grateful. So loving you scritching his skin. It must have felt soooo good. I hope that this poor boy has a happy, healthy life ahead of him with a loving h8me.
I have a black standard poodle, and I know how sweet these dogs can be, and it absolutely breaks my heart to see him so skinny and neglected. He was weak, one could clearly see this. After you gave him treats, he trusted you much more. I would take him this instant, but I live in Germany. I really hope he finds a good and caring home! Thank you so much for your excellent work, and your kindness for these thrown away animals!
I had tears in my eyes during the whole video. We don’t deserve dogs. He had nothing but unconditional love in his eyes. I pray that he finds the best home to fulfill the rest of his days like he deserves.
Look how sweet he is, despite what horrible conditions he was put through. So heartbreaking to see him want to face the wall like that, probably so scared. Thank you for helping him.
Thanks for all the love and care that you give these critters. It’s so heartwarming to see the transformation that these animals feel after you’ve given so much of yourself, Vanessa.
Poor baby. I'm glad he will go to a home where he will be spoiled and loved. What an awesome cat client, kudos to them for rescheduling and recognizing the need. You are awesome Vanessa, working with your local shelter. ❤ Edit to add: the goatee is adorable. Such a difference before and after. Great job! Such a sweet, handsome boy
I have been dog mom to 4 poodles and agree 💯 that he's a standard poodle. He is such a sweetheart, and I hate that his humans failed him so completely. I pray the rest of his life he's treated like the angel he is and deserves to be. Goodest boy, Jack!
He was SO WELL BEHAVED. Whoever treated him that way needs to be jailed and prevented from ever owning animals. It's deplorable that anyone could do that to something that only wants love. Our cat George was abandoned at our complex with a massive concussion. He's the best cat in the world. I hope whoever dumped him never finds peace.
@@lavahotpocket3886 my guess as a vet that has worked in an area with many “breeders”, he looks like a puppy mill stud. My guess is to make doodles. He either escaped or he was not producing desireable progeny and was driven somewhere and dumped. Everyone make sure to do your research before adopting pure breed or designer dogs!
I too am a poodle mom and I’m crying for this boy who deserves so much better. My dog came from a shelter too but was fortunate to never be in this condition.
I can only imagine the relief Jack felt after having taken off all of that matting and getting in a bath. Thank you for doing this for such a sweet pup!
This poor boy hasn’t been allowed to “feel” anything in quite a long time. If she is right, and I think she is, about him being left in a crate, he probably doesn’t really know what it is to feel as he was shut away from all of that. To feel excitement for a new toy, joy of his family coming home at the end of the day, the happiness of running after a bird in the park, and, saddest of all, the love of pets and cuddles from his favorite person. Thank you for being one of the first to show this good boy what it means to be a good boy- kindness, compassion, and, most importantly, love.
“Jack” is such a handsome boy. Someone will be very fortunate to have him as their buddy. I hope he gets the furever home he deserves- filled with love and many happy adventures.
I'm bawling!! 😢 That poor baby. I love Jack! I wish I could adopt him. He's so well behaved and I can definitely tell that he knows you're helping him. You're so amazing! The world needs more people like you. No animal deserves to be treated like the way Jack had been treated. He's going to have a much better life now. YOU ARE A HERO! ❤❤❤❤
🥹i just lost my 14 yr old shitzu in June and would take this dog and give him the best life. Bless you for taking on what must be such a heavy weight of sadness for these precious animals so they can have a better life. ❤I couldn’t do it without bawling the whole time.
@@cindychristie4327 …. 🥺❤️Hugs to you. They just make us love them so much and leave such a hole in our hearts and lives. And I can’t imagine having them look for and miss the one who passed. It has to make it twice as difficult. But just remember all dogs go to heaven . 🙏🏼🐶💕
So very sorry for your loss! If you are not able to adopt Jack (AKA Rugar), I hope you get a chance to adopt another dog who so desperately needs to be loved and cared for in the deserving way for the best life ever!
What a heart breaking story he has had. 😢 I hope "Jack" finds a wonderful new home with lots of hugs, kisses, cuddles, food, toys and a couch of his own!
Aaaw, 22:16. The dog seems to enjoy that person and the pets. I dunno why, but I think he should be the new owner. At any rate, plz let us know when Ruger gets adopted! And we would love to see pics of him in a new home, all fattened up (to a healthy weight, of course)!
Thank you for helping this fur baby . Thank you to the groom that was booked for being flexible and letting this beautiful poodle fur baby get some love and care . Noodle for his name
Bless you! Jack breaks my heart. He looks like no one has ever loved him. I hope he finds his perfect family and never has to be sad or lonely. I’m praying for you Jack!
I'm just sitting here crying for poor Jack. He is so sweet and gentle. I hope he lives long enough to put on some weight....That some kind person will shower him with love and foster him.💔
I'm a 53 year old British male and I have tears from watching this Why anyone would do this to a beautiful puppy is beyond me Least we have Vanessa to look after him
I believe he is definitely a poodle. I was so glad that you didn't leave anything on his face. Poodles have such beautiful faces. Yes I have two poodles. What a gorgeous boy. Thank you thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as a poodle owner, how much I appreciate what you did for him.❤
If you know about the intelligent and sensitive nature of Poodles this hits even more… even in this video you saw his amazing ability to read the situation and adapt. Such a gentle soul.
This was the most rewarding video of yours to watch ! Thank you so much for giving Jack love and making him look beautiful. He is so sweet and loving, I'm sure he was adopted right away ! Please keep us posted !!!
You are a beacon of light for those precious pups and cats! He's going to have such a better life just from this groom alone! Who ever gets to be the lucky one to adopt this sweet boy hit the "Jack"pot! I know he stole my💟!!!
This dog made me want to cry. He really didn't ask to be abandoned poor boy. Humans can be so cruel. Thank you for being so kind and not wearing gloves. I know I couldn't do what you do for every animal that comes to you and the animals know you are an angel in disguise.
OMG....what a sweetheart. So many dogs, exposed to bad treatment as he obviously was, would turn to anger and strike out. I want him to get the very best home.

Hey my sweet boy is also named Ruger :D
The work you do is amazing!! Thank youuuuu!!!
I would take him but i live in South Africa
PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED
Thank you for loving these sweet babies, Vanessa. You're a good "hoomin".
Shout out to the cat owner who was flexible with the scheduling
Yeah, such a wonderful person. Kind of...a rarity where I live (NYC. Manhattan is the worst of the boroughs. Anyone who can live there has so much money they think they own the world. I live in Queens, must more pleasant and quiet. I love this city but sometimes it needs a reality check. I'm all too happy to give it.)
only one reply?
let me help
the kindness of the cat owner has slightly assuaged my anger at whoever abandoned this dog, poor wee floof. Some people should not be allowed to own pets 😞
@ternel • I think if the cat owner watched this video, he (or she) will be happy about rescheduling.
@@thegriffin88 Ha.. Lived in Hells kitchen when it was actually hells kitchen. Couldnt afford it now.
Seeing him just standing there with his face to the wall is utterly heartbreaking.
It makes me sad too to see him it’s his face in the corner.
Me too
I've had my rescue for 10 years and she still does that. She's scared of everything
I wish I could give him a hug and tell him it is going to be okay, but I hope whoever adopts Jack will treat him like a king.
I wanted to hug him. After seeing him all cleaned up, I want to give him a warm sweater, a steak dinner, and a soft bed. He deserves all that as a bare minimum.
Please if you can, update us on Jack's situation. He's so calm and sweet, and has been so deprived and no doubt abused. He deserves a good home and I hope he will get one.
Yes, I would very much like to know if he was adopted - and if possible, to see an update of him a couple of months later when he gets back in shape!
Agree! Would love an update or a second grooming after a while!!
yessss
Yes please such a beautiful gentle dog best of luck to him ❤
This! I'm legit crying for Jack, and I want to know he'll be okay.
When he arrived he was so sad and by the end he was standing so tall and proud! Best of luck in your recovery Jack !
Poor baby
A million thanks to the cat owner who rescheduled
I'm sure the cat was on board with the delay too. LOL
I hope jack comes back after getting adopted into his loving caring forever home so we get to see him again all healthy and cared for (under a diff name) 😭
Yeah, me too !!!!!!!!!!!
This!!! I'm sure he's going to look amazing after he's gained back the weight and is properly cared for.
I want to see him, too! What a dear thing he is
If he gets adopted by a fan I imagine that could happen. But whoever takes him in I'm sure they'll get this video for whatever groomer they take him to later to reference so maybe.
That would make the best before/after photoshoot~
I can only image how good he must feel after having all of that filth and matting removed. His best life is about to begin. Thank you for helping him into his next chapter.
I knew there'd be a beautiful boy underneath all that matting and dirt. I really hope someone with good intentions gives him a good and loving home. ❤
I did some work for a guy who has a dog that extremely matted and filthy. I believe she is an Irish Hound. I know the guy has loads of money, so it really surprised me to see his pet in such a terrible condition.

@slothbones9677 I hope you turned him in to animal control for neglect!?!? I know I would have!!
@@slothbones9677wtaf????!!!!!. Steal the dog! Get it the fk out of there!
was going to say the same thing. That bath must have felt like heaven.
Poor boy! Thank you so much for helping him!
People who mistreat animals are the lowest of the low.
I will never understand how someone can look such a sweet dog in the face and do that to them. My dog was mistreated by being left in a crate for who knows how long and now he's completely ruined for crate training. I've tried but he will hurt himself trying to get out so he gets to stay in the office while I'm gone. He's perfectly okay in the room while I'm at work, he just can't go into crates anymore and I can't blame him.
Animals and children. It’s like they have zero respect for life, yet too much of a coward to say it to someone who could argue back.
Trusted, Responsible and could just say ‘no I pass’, but actively choose to make the decision to be evil in a cowardly way.
@@philippal8666yes both animals and children. I just can’t fathom it 😔
Even with elderly animal hoarders (who I know sometimes don't understand what they're doing is severe neglect), there's gotta be a point before it gets to that level of stench and other conditions where they second-guess themselves...
@lightsoutisay They do. I adopted my dog from a couple that claimed they just didn't have time for him anymore and were looking to rehome him. I didn't realize how badly neglected he was for a week or so because I've never had a dog in such bad condition before. They were selective about rehoming him, too. They gave him to me rather than the 18 year old who would have stuck him in a muddy yard with her family's six other dogs.

So they knew they were abusing him and seemed to care at least a little bit.
It actually broke my heart seeing this poor baby in the shape he's in. I'm unfortunately unable to adopt him, as much as I would like to but maybe this will help just a bit

God bless you for your donation.
I never heard so much restrained anger in your voice. Thank you so much for helping him and also thank you to the cat lady who rescheduled.
He was no doubt depressed when he came in. But by the end he brightened up. Probably because he felt so much better. And had some treats. Which I’m sure he hadn’t had I a very long time if at all. I know he will find a loving home. He deserves the absolute best ❤
Heartbreaking to see a pup come in in that state. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do.
The bones sticking through...😢😢😢
I agree with you 100%😢💔
Yep I’ve a big lump in my throat poor bubba thank you Vanessa ❤
For sure. She is a saint to animals.
I started to tear up when I saw his ribs. Poor thing. I hope he finds his forever home and spends every day getting cuddles and treats.
What a lovely boy. He didn't deserve that neglect. Even so, he still trusts Vanessa to help him. I wish him the best furever home.❤❤❤
I hope he gets a owner that deserves him and gets all the hugs and treats
I was sobbing 😭 after she finished shaving him. Poor baby. I pray 🙏🏾 that he gets a loving home
Furever home, I love it!😂❤
ME TOO! I hope he gets his happily-ever-after home soon! Jack...You are handsome! You are a good boy! You are safe! Please hang in there! It'll get better! I promise! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't adopt this beautiful Dog, but please accept this as a thank you for helping this poor baby.
You're a good egg.

I literally gasped when you got the bulk of the matted hair off his face ... He's SO beautiful!
He's literally such a handsome man! I hope he will find a good home soon so he can get his weight up and his smile back🥺🥺
I just about gasped out loud at the first shot of what he looked like under all the fur, I was not prepared for how skinny he really is! He looks so much happier at the end of the video though and seems to be really enjoying the pats, the way he's leaning into people is amazing considering how badly he's been treated.
The grace that abused dogs tend to give to humanity is truly humbling. They have every reason to never trust a human again, but still they forgive.
Not all too often I get the feeling that social media has bettered our lives but when I hear that doggies like Jack get the help they so desperately deserve I’m happy to have my TH-cam.
because of social media a lot of rescue places are seen and a lot of animals get saved.
There are s few channels that are gold, and this is one of them. Such a lovely resource for tips in caring for animals.
You can tell he knows that you are trying to help him.
I believe so, too.
Yes
Animals really are great instinctive judges of character....they know when somebody has good intentions/wants to help them. Of course some of the dogs she grooms are so anxious they freak out, but that's just their anxiety getting the best of them.
The wagging tail and leaning into the pets at the end were proof dogs are the best.
Thank you for your kindness 💝
That ending was one of the most satisfying endings I have seen in awhile. Not only for the before and after, but more for his palpable happiness and relief. Just a great video all around.
Even as skinny as he is, he’s still a great looking doggo (:

Is she good with people and other dogs?

There is no princess like a bichon princess. 😁😁😁 IYKYK
Once his hair was gone, you could truly see how emaciated he was. He can still stand, so that's a plus

I have been dog mom to 4 poodles and agree 💯 that he's a standard poodle. He is such a sweetheart, and I hate that his humans failed him so completely. I pray the rest of his life he's treated like the angel he is and deserves to be. Goodest boy, Jack!
He was SO WELL BEHAVED. Whoever treated him that way needs to be jailed and prevented from ever owning animals. It's deplorable that anyone could do that to something that only wants love. Our cat George was abandoned at our complex with a massive concussion. He's the best cat in the world. I hope whoever dumped him never finds peace.
Only poodles look that good shaved down to the skin . He looked like a heroin chic model.
@@lavahotpocket3886 my guess as a vet that has worked in an area with many “breeders”, he looks like a puppy mill stud. My guess is to make doodles. He either escaped or he was not producing desireable progeny and was driven somewhere and dumped. Everyone make sure to do your research before adopting pure breed or designer dogs!
@@carolbaker2773 Awful. ALWAYS adopt, never shop. There are so many puppy mill breeders that would go under if people just stopped buying dogs.
I too am a poodle mom and I’m crying for this boy who deserves so much better. My dog came from a shelter too but was fortunate to never be in this condition.
He's a such a small big boy. He looks so pitiful and little in the tub. What a good dog. Someone's gunna adore him.
I can only imagine the relief Jack felt after having taken off all of that matting and getting in a bath. Thank you for doing this for such a sweet pup!
Yep I was thinking the same.
Right? I could feel the relief through my screen after his bath
Would love to see him again when his fur grows back.
Yeah, and when all the yellow stained stuff has been groomed away.
And when he is at a healthy weight!
This poor boy hasn’t been allowed to “feel” anything in quite a long time. If she is right, and I think she is, about him being left in a crate, he probably doesn’t really know what it is to feel as he was shut away from all of that. To feel excitement for a new toy, joy of his family coming home at the end of the day, the happiness of running after a bird in the park, and, saddest of all, the love of pets and cuddles from his favorite person. Thank you for being one of the first to show this good boy what it means to be a good boy- kindness, compassion, and, most importantly, love.
I love this comment!🥲🥹😃
Thank you for what you do! ❤
“Jack” is such a handsome boy. Someone will be very fortunate to have him as their buddy. I hope he gets the furever home he deserves- filled with love and many happy adventures.
Poor baby... I'm so glad he is now getting the care he needs. Thank you for taking care of this lovely gentleman 💕
One minute in to the video and I'm crying. This poor baby, I can't imagine what he's been through and he deserves so much better. Thank you Vanessa ❤
Oh my gosh! He is so skinny. What a sweet boy!
The saying goes, the more I know people, the more I love my dog. Hope this beautiful dog finds a forever home, he deserves. It!❤
Several people have said this already, but I too would love to see Jack come back for a quick vid after he's been adopted and is in better condition!
Thank you Vanessa for helping this dog.
If possible, please show Jack when he's recovered! Thank you for what you do.
He's such a well behaved boy 🖤 I hope he'll find a loving forever home
I'm bawling!! 😢 That poor baby. I love Jack! I wish I could adopt him. He's so well behaved and I can definitely tell that he knows you're helping him. You're so amazing! The world needs more people like you. No animal deserves to be treated like the way Jack had been treated. He's going to have a much better life now. YOU ARE A HERO! ❤❤❤❤
These creatures deserve better than us.
What a precious boy. May he be blessed with a home that spoils him!
he is so lucky to have you help him ! and I hope he finds a loving home soon. He seems so sweet !!
🥹i just lost my 14 yr old shitzu in June and would take this dog and give him the best life. Bless you for taking on what must be such a heavy weight of sadness for these precious animals so they can have a better life. ❤I couldn’t do it without bawling the whole time.
❤❤❤ You’re such a sweetheart. Fingers crossed that you get Jack adopted and give him a loving forever home 🏡 🎉😊
Me too, I lost my 14 yr old shitzu two weeks ago. It broke my heart to see my other two German shepherds still look for her.
@@cindychristie4327 …. 🥺❤️Hugs to you. They just make us love them so much and leave such a hole in our hearts and lives. And I can’t imagine having them look for and miss the one who passed. It has to make it twice as difficult. But just remember all dogs go to heaven . 🙏🏼🐶💕
So very sorry for your loss! If you are not able to adopt Jack (AKA Rugar), I hope you get a chance to adopt another dog who so desperately needs to be loved and cared for in the deserving way for the best life ever!
@amyralls6218…thank you so much ☺️.
He made me so sad sitting so proud after his bath 😢. What a lovely dog. I pray he finds the best home ever. ❤
I'm in tears watching this. That poor sweet boy. I hope he finds the very best furever home that will treat him like the prince he is. 😢
What a heart breaking story he has had. 😢 I hope "Jack" finds a wonderful new home with lots of hugs, kisses, cuddles, food, toys and a couch of his own!
Poor baby! Thanks so much for helping him. Better days are coming sweetheart!
What a sweet dog ! I would adopt him in a second if I could !!! Thank you for grooming Jack ! He deserves the BEST
Such a sweet boy. I’m really hoping he’s going to a loving home soon 💜
Aaaw, 22:16. The dog seems to enjoy that person and the pets. I dunno why, but I think he should be the new owner. At any rate, plz let us know when Ruger gets adopted! And we would love to see pics of him in a new home, all fattened up (to a healthy weight, of course)!
Thank you for helping this fur baby . Thank you to the groom that was booked for being flexible and letting this beautiful poodle fur baby get some love and care . Noodle for his name
What an exceptional fellow he is. Obviously clever AND perfect manners. Someone is going to be VERY lucky bringing him home.
Aww poor baby...
It hurts, knowing some cruel people can neglect such a sweet boy.
I know! Why bother to get a pet if you’re not going to take care of it. Selfless.
I would love to see ‘Jack’ after he has been adopted and has been fed well with food and fed well with love 🤍✨🦴
Praying someone gives this angel of a pup a good, loving home. What a sweetie. Thank you Vanessa.
Bless you! Jack breaks my heart. He looks like no one has ever loved him. I hope he finds his perfect family and never has to be sad or lonely. I’m praying for you Jack!
What a sweetheart!! He absolutely know you are helping him!
He's such a good pup, I hope he finds an amazing home
I agree with you 100% 😃
Oh poor baby. He was so good for you. I hope he gets healthy soon and finds his forever family.
Thank you for all you do. ❤
I'm just sitting here crying for poor Jack. He is so sweet and gentle. I hope he lives long enough to put on some weight....That some kind person will shower him with love and foster him.💔
I'm a 53 year old British male and I have tears from watching this
Why anyone would do this to a beautiful puppy is beyond me
Least we have Vanessa to look after him
It’s so sad someone ruined such a beautiful dog, I hope he finds a home that allows him to flourish
He's such a good boy!❤
he was even starting to exhibit some Poodle Supervisor behavior where he sits up and watches the human working... good boy.
Poodle supervisor? I love standard poodles. Never had one so don’t know specific traits.
Thank you so much for helping this poor soul.
What a dignified dog he is. You have restored his dignity. What an amazing transformation. Love the goatee!
He's a sweet boy! Unbelievable his owner allowed him to get in that condition!
I believe he is definitely a poodle. I was so glad that you didn't leave anything on his face. Poodles have such beautiful faces. Yes I have two poodles. What a gorgeous boy. Thank you thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as a poodle owner, how much I appreciate what you did for him.❤
If you know about the intelligent and sensitive nature of Poodles this hits even more… even in this video you saw his amazing ability to read the situation and adapt. Such a gentle soul.
He's so pretty, so very sweet. He certainly deserves a very loving home. Thank you so much for your dedication to these sweet animals.
Thank you for being there for these animals, and showing them the kindness they deserve!
This was the most rewarding video of yours to watch ! Thank you so much for giving Jack love and making him look beautiful. He is so sweet and loving, I'm sure he was adopted right away ! Please keep us posted !!!
Such a sweet pup! He deserves all love and care in the world.
Thank you for helping him!!!
You are a beacon of light for those precious pups and cats! He's going to have such a better life just from this groom alone! Who ever gets to be the lucky one to adopt this sweet boy hit the "Jack"pot! I know he stole my💟!!!
This breaks my heart, I hope he finds a good home! 😢❤🥹
Love that dog. He'll get adopted without any problem. So sweet.
This dog made me want to cry. He really didn't ask to be abandoned poor boy. Humans can be so cruel. Thank you for being so kind and not wearing gloves. I know I couldn't do what you do for every animal that comes to you and the animals know you are an angel in disguise.
OMG....what a sweetheart. So many dogs, exposed to bad treatment as he obviously was, would turn to anger and strike out. I want him to get the very best home.
