      My mother in law got her cat that way. The cat kept coming to her house and chilling. My in law found out and told the neighbors that their kitty was always around her place. They didn’t seem to care. But wouldn’t give her the cat. Until the day the neighbors were moving. My in law ran over to the house and asked if they were taking the cat. They said no. They were just going to leave her. My mother in law, calmly said “Thank you” and picked up the cat as it was standing next to her and she left. She had Shorty for 15 years. Lucky cat and super mom in law.

      @@nowirehangers2815 I totally disagree. People with a big heart for animals typically treat other human beings well too. They have a better developed sense of empathy & compassion. The capacity to love is not finite nor should one loving relationship supplant the other. Mature, well adjusted adults who aren't neurotic, narcissistic or childish should not find it difficult to love both their human partner and their pets. Much the same way a parent loves a spouse and their children at the same time. The relationships are different in nature but no less bonded and they don't compete with each other They'reconcurrent. I personally would have no use for any man who could not love an animal. I want nothing to do with men like that.

      You know it is possible to NOT have a tons of homeless dog. Without having people like him. Just have regulations and laws in order in the country , and make sure it's not worth breaking em !
      We barely have any in my country. Each time i look up dogs for adoption there is less then 50 total every single times , most of the time under 25. We have two rescue organations, with each having several regions of the country covered and there own personal website. And you can see all result of dogs (or other type of animals) for adoption on all websites combined at same time in one location aswell. So easy to check :)
      Sure there is more around on other websites. But most of those are dogs you can take in from other contries, they are not actualy in the country yet. But will travel once you buy the dog. Or they are sold by breeder or personal homes needing to get rid of there dog for one reason or another.
      The usual reason is "allergi" haha i honestly dont beleave it , used way to much . They proberly just grew tired of the "work" a pet requires to maintain. But thats just my personal oppinion clearly :P

    I've lived in a house connected to a privately owned, no-kill, dog rescue as the full-time caretaker for the past six years. I've cared for hundreds, if now thousands of dogs, and hundreds of dog breeds. The meanest breed I've come across: Chihuahua. The gentlest, most loving breed: Pit Bull. The media only reports attacks from Pit Bulls, regardless of the fact that there are five (5!) dog breeds clumped into the Pit Bull category. And regardless of the fact that statistically, you are more likely to get attacked by a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua, or even a Cocker Spaniel. Thank whatever higher power you believe in for people like this guy and his fiancée. Without people like them, the little hope for redemption that humanity has left would be completely lost.

    "I kept him from the neighbors...Then I put my house up for sale." Now that is devotion.
    But, legally, you were in the clear. That's why there's a stray hold where the owners have a period where they can claim a lost dog. If they don't, then their ownership is severed and the dog can be legally adopted by a new family. Though I can understand why you wouldn't want to get into a whole big thing with your former neighbors.

    Great story! You not only saved one dog, but went out of you way to find and save another dog that you knew your dog loved to play with, that's an animal lover! You were determined to find that dog that needed a home! And you found him at a shelter, no coincidence, was meant to be. God bless you, what a humanitarian deed you did! You not only touched my heart, you touched my soul! Glad the two dogs are now together and in a loving family! Hurrah for you!

    Good man. I've had 4 dogs all from the SPCA shelter. I remember the smartest dog I've ever known . I walked in and the dogs were all excited and barking. There was one dog who was sitting quiet when I walked up to him and sitting still. His eyes were pleading me to get him out. He knew nobody wanted a barking dog. It was surreal. My father was a WWII Navy aviator and a tough man. I never saw him cry until our dog died. The dog had seizures and my dad spent thousands at the best vets. Unconditional love is a powerful thing.

    He should've walked him right in front of the neighbors. They took the collar off, clearly didn't care about A.C picking him, so this guy absolutely deserves the dog. Glad he has him and everything worked out

      Going to assume the neighbor was crazy, and you don't want to know what crazy people do even if they seemed to not care.
      It's like when a child doesn't play with his toys but when someone else does they suddenly gain interest and jealous.

      @@Mama-Ames than you have a low bar for heroes. Don't get me wrong, it's nice that he did it. But it ain't heroic behaviour. If he did while struggling financially or otherwise than it's reckless even stupid not brave or heroic. Hero is too much of a big word to be used so casually. Suddenly everyone is a hero just because you did something other people do as well.
