This is the kind of older lady I want to be. She's active, fit, understands animals, and seems genuinely happy. She's a total inspiration!! Perfect mom for this dog.
I know she's lovely and I'm sure he's a perfect fit to her family, I love stories and ppl like this it makes you feel like maybe, the world can be a better also loving place for us and animals.
You will be with that wonderful attitude. I’m 68, fit and energetic and going to look at another rescue in two days..a young German Shepherd! It’s all about attitude and the love of dogs.
@biscaya08, my thoughts exactly. He's such a puppy spirit. Everything from the way he plays with his toys and that cute curious puppy faces he makes to the way he prances! Such a noble baby. Senior pups are something really special.
@@JoseVargas-mn9zj I will agree that senior pups are the best because when my old black lab husky mix Basil was still around he would try to chase after squrriels. It broke our hearts to see him in so much as he got older. He now running free chasing after squrriels up in heaven. I know that he's doing ok now.
@@catrinahartz944 my old border collie mix Wilbur liked to be 18. But I do agree Ace does act more puppy then an elderly man. Instead Ace lives everyday with a prance at being alive in a home with a lady who saved his life and bailed him out of the shelter. Shelters says that the shelter isn't the right place for puppies it is 100% not a good place for an elderly dog. The perfect for an elderly dog is in a house with a lap of their human to lay on despite them not being a lap dog.
@Rebecca Kennedy I've been rescuing dogs age 12 and up and had three to five dogs at a time. Vet bills were as high as $3000 two of the years. Other years haven't been near as high. I've paid for things that weren't an absolute necessity such as cherry eye removal and teeth extraction. My boxer had chronic diarrhea and cancer. Rott mix had horrible arthritis. RimadyI was expensive. I took her to pool sessions. She was the hardest to deal with. Two more developed lung cancer. My current three are good so far. Hardest part is falling in love with them and then losing them in three years or less. I have no regrets. I gave them all a very loving home and a good life in their final days. They deserved it. I don't make a lot of money. I can afford this because I don't have cable or home internet, I have a cheap cellphone plan, rarely eat out, and drive a twenty year old car. I don't give the dogs heartworm meds during the winter months and I clean their teeth myself with a doggie dental scraper. I also do deworming myself with Dogworms 3 from 1800PetMeds or Quad Dewormer. The only vaccine I do is rabies, except for Rott mix who had to have all vaccines for pool sessions.
When she said she was going to adopt him, my heart just soared. He now and will to the end of his days have the life he always deserved. He's just gorgeous and the lady that adopted him is a big-hearted human being, God bless her🙏🐾❤️❤️❤️

Nadja since i rescue 10-15 dogs a year and find them homes, many of them older dogs, i have a lot of experience with evaluating how thry do. while it is true for some of them that putting them in another home would be teaumatic, if is not the case with this dog. it depends on their personalities. one of us knows more about this, the other one is you.
@@louiscyfer6944 i worked with dogs more than 40 years so .. that you helping dogs "good boy " you should be more like a dog it self with out ego .. would made you a nicer person .. and i agree dogs can move on easely... but this dogs needed that house and his new mom and friends at that moment .. why .. do you put a old grandad over an over to a new house .. no .. why ...they dont like that they will get confused . because after a long life they want a place for peace and a bit of love .. so i hope you will help many more dogs thats great and i do respect that but please try to see my opinion on this dog aswell ..
Ace's world must have fallen apart after 19 years of having a home. He adjusted really well. Sometimes I think dogs just live in the moment. We can learn a lot from dogs. Bless this lady for making sure Ace's golden years will be happy ones. 💜
All animals live in the nòw moment, yes we learn a lot from them. What a beautiful boy he's so happy, he finally will, let's be realistic and use common sense, cross the 🌈bridge as a happy housepet. Wonderful second change for this old senior. :-)
I started crying about 30 seconds in, after being totally amazed at the energy and life in this 19-year-old sweetie. You haven't failed, my dear lady, you have succeeded in giving Ace a quality of life that he and you both deserve. Not to mention a sibling for your other 2 cuties. Well done!
So glad that Ace was adopted by this foster lady. I didn't want him to have to adapt to some new people and surroundings and situations at his great age. He is a lovely boy and gets on well with the other dogs and just loves his new home and owner. Hope he has many more healthy years with them all.
@@DeathByDrone-ORmk84 in the beginning of the video it says Ace was dropped off at the shelter then because of the wildfires he was transferred 150 miles away to the SCPA which is where this woman got him from and began to foster him. So his family left him.
Ace is a young soul, trapped in an old body. I have never in my life seen a dog get to that age and have so much energy (making it 19 is rather rare for most dogs anyway).
B. Gauthier a 19 yr old dog that size is older than Yoda.. I’ve had dogs my whole life, a senior dog can be 9 or 10 yrs old. I just don’t believe 19. He’s obviously a senior, but not 19
Y'all, senior cats and dogs are the best. Just like humans, the older you get, the more life experience you have, the more likely you are to really appreciate the good experiences and especially when circumstances change for the better. I swear to God they know. And because they know, they will show you in ways that you could never have imagined how thankful they are and how much they love you. Many county and city shelters as well as rescues in your community have a senior pet adoption program. These cats and dogs are so worthy of a deserving home to live their senior years. I mean, isn't that what anyone of us would want when we're old and infirm? To just be accepted and loved for who we are?
Amen! I just adopted an 11.5 year old Chihuahua. They told me she was 9. Turns out she needs seizure medication. At first, I was like, "Oh, no... what have a gotten myself into." Anyhow, she is the most loving, affectionate little chi I've ever met. I needed her more than she needed me to heal from my 12 year old chi I lost in November. Sometimes these senior pets pick you because they just KNOW. Even though the new pup needs meds, I wouldn't trade her affection for the world. She can spend her Golden years with me. Love this. 💕🐕🐶💐
@@ceecee8757 so, so we'll stated!! And big, huge ups to you for adopting a senior. I've adopted two senior cats in my past, 14-year-old Clide and 8-year-old Henry. They are no longer with us sadly. Clide passed from cancer at about 16 and 1/2 years old, and we adopted Henry in Clide's memory and honor because Clide was also a diabetic, and Henry's family was going to euthanize him when he was diagnosed with diabetes. Honestly, neither of the families that gave those cats up to the shelter deserved them, but in a way I thank them because I was the absolute beneficiary.
Seeing this dog at 19 years old being so active gives me hope. Mine is almost 10 and still very very playful. That tennis ball in my picture means the world to her.
I used to think my pupper was going to continue to be energetic and active for so much longer but now at 14 he's really slowed down. He developed hip dysplasia at around 8 or so but it didn't really effect him much. Unfortunately after developing a condition where's she's slowly losing feeling in his hind legs and after two bouts of Old Dog Syndrome I had to come to terms with the fact that he might not make it to 16 as I had hoped/expected. It's taken a lot of work for his body to adjust to the changes and for us to figure out how to best help him but right now we've got the hang of it. We lift his waist for him if he needs up stairs and we've built a grippy ramp for him outside. He's more prone to accidentally poop indoors or in inconvenient places but we have tile floor so it's a minor annoyance. We give him much shorter walks now and we put booties on his hind paws because he can drag them and they'll bleed and we use a strap to give him additional stability in his hips. Before he could walk around the entire village in rain or snow.
@@JennaLeigh I think my percentage will go up this spring. I cannot keep any more!!! My rescue dog is 15, blind and diabetic. I spend more than $200/ mo on his insulin. And we found out the first cat I kept (he's almost 2 now) has rare congenital hip dysplasia. So surgery in his future. I'll still foster, but tapped out for keepers, unfortunately.
I was so hoping she would keep him, as he really had a connection with her and got along with the other dogs! What a happy story and happy ending for this senior dog!❤️🐶
Bless your heart, I told my wife no more puppies. I only want to get Adults or Seniors because they are always picked last and Deserve to be loved and happy too.
I don't even want to think about what this dog has been through for nineteen years. That's almost his entire life. I hope he gets to have many years in his forever home with this wonderful lady.
I love foster fails!! Bless you lovely lady, you knew he was meant to be with you forever! Bet Ace knew it all along! I was happy when you said there were many applications, but started crying when you said Ace was yours.
Bonnie do you realize the size of your heart??HHHHHHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE! HUGE! Thank you Sweet Lady! for giving Ace love and peace to enjoy the rest of his life.
In my heart I believe this was the best thing for Ace. We know nothing of his previous life but when you're dropped off at age 19, I think it's safe to assume that he's better off now than whenever he was before. He gets tons of of comforting cuddles & plenty of play time with a whole new friendly fur-fam!! I believe Ace is experiencing a love like he's never known before & I pray these last years are the best of his life 💖🐾 Blessings to Ace's adoptive Fur Momma 🙏 You make the world a better place🌞
i think he was well treated before. he is in amazing health for 19years!! His temperament is great and he is well balanced. this dog was probably let go by elderly person or some other reason they could no longer care for him. I know someone who has to give up their dog due to work/living arrangements, it happens and its no ones fault. its better thn letting them lose to fend for themselves as many do
Love foster fails. So so happy for ace!!. Cried many happy tears 😭 was scared for a min that he wasn't going to get to keep this wonderful woman & his 2 fur siblings and then she kept him and I could breath again. Best of everything to all of them. Thanks💕🐾
Kay UK..London....This was so lovely...I do not know how he was given up in the twilight of his life...that is not loving a dog...This wonderful lady is giving him..I am sure the true love he deserves...this is why whatever happened before is now forgotten....Wonderful story............I am moving to Pembroke in Narberth Wales..to a cottage with massive gardens..one being a secret garden...I live alone..only one son.of 35...I am 75 so cannot take young rescue dogs...but can take senior dogs....I cannot wait to start my new family!!!......This story and this kind lady has convinced me It will be a very happy family..........
So happy to see Ace again. I remember hoping she would adopt him when I watched the first video about her fostering him. This makes me so happy to see Ace's happy face spending his final years with a wonderful mom and siblings.
I'm so glad she kept him. I felt so sad thinking he just got comfortable and would be moving again at his age. I'm so glad she adopted him and it going to be there for him through his final days. He deserves it
Ace, there is no way you're 19! I'm gonna need to see some doggo ID!😁😁 seriously though, congrats on finding your furever family. Here's to many years together and making cherished memories. 💖💖💖💖
My Uncle had a Husky/ German Shepherd that lived 19+ years and never slowed down until the end. He was a farm dog that lived with my Uncle, his wife and their 5 children. My Grandmother had the farm next door. "King" was a fixture on the farm from when I was 3 until 2 years after I got out of the Navy. I thought the dog would live forever. I hope my German Shepherd that I got from Germany (where else?) will have that length span! He will be 7 in February and is with me 20 hours a day. Even though he was a puppy, I have adopted 9 dogs in my life and the next time I get a dog it will be an adoption. Those shelter dogs are great to give a home to. My dogs always sleep on the bed with me outside the covers and there is nothing like a dog brought home from a shelter. The joy they show you once they realize they have a home is indescribable!
Oh my gosh , I cried and laughed the whole video...... The way she was touring him all over the house and the way he was following her, it was priceless to watch ❤️🤗 What a LOVELY lady!!!!!!......... I'm so happy for the two of you, and happy that you becane a foster failure this time, ......he needed exactly a loving person like you and you needed another sweetheart in your life😃😃 Thank you Bonnie for your immense golden heart!!!😘♥️
What an incredible loving woman to foster a senior dog like Ace and then to decide to permanently ADOPT him, just made my day!!!!😍 What a geat human being she is!!!!! Sending her and all her fur babies lots of Love And Light!!!!!💓💓💓
When "Ace" took the lead in the walk, I was like he's gonna be part of this family now. So happy I was correct! 🐾 I adopted a senior cat from my cities shelter. Have had her for two yrs now. She 12yrs young and feisty as ever. After losing my other sidekick, who I raised from a kitten until he was 13, it was the best decision. I didn't have the heart to train another kitten. I was still grieving from losing my dear humbug. She fit right in and made herself at home.
There are truly angels amongst us. I am so happy to see him in a loving caring home. He's a handsome guy and he deserves all the love in the world. Thank you for adopting him I'm sure there's not a day the goes by that you aren't glad you did. Love & blessings to you.
Who turns in a pet that they have owned for years? How cruel. What peppy boy, and such a wonderful dog. And the lady who adopted him is very special, too.
I saw his video when he picked out his first toy. To see him in a home brings me to tears. Thank you Dodo for sharing with us this wonderful update on Ace and for letting us know that Ace has finally found his furever home.
Cheers to the best foster failure. From the moment Ace walked into your house it already looked like it was meant to be. So happy fur Ace and his siblings and their Mom for doing a wonderful thing. Happy Valentine's Day to y'all. ❤❤❤❤
Love these adoption stores about older dogs. Thank you to all the people adopting older dogs and giving them the life they deserve of lots of love and safety. Special people adopt older dogs.
It's hard to believe he's so active at 19! I didn't think dogs lived that long but congratulations for getting such a sweet boy. I've had 2 failed fosters and though they are gone now I will always miss them. Thank you for taking him in. Win win.
This is the kind of older lady I want to be. She's active, fit, understands animals, and seems genuinely happy. She's a total inspiration!! Perfect mom for this dog.
Perfect Human Being, too!
I'd also like a house full of dogs! Best company you can have! After my baby goes, Id like to do more and have lots!
Right just a sweet heart of a lady!

I don't even want to think about what this dog has been through for nineteen years. That's almost his entire life. I hope he gets to have many years in his forever home with this wonderful lady.
Everyone else has said what I was thinking. Ace has my heart on Valentines day. God bless him.
Damn, this lady is amazing. Made me shed a tear. Elder dog adopters are earth angels
I love foster fails!! Bless you lovely lady, you knew he was meant to be with you forever! Bet Ace knew it all along! I was happy when you said there were many applications, but started crying when you said Ace was yours.
Bonnie do you realize the size of your heart??HHHHHHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE! HUGE!
Thank you Sweet Lady! for giving Ace love and peace to enjoy the rest of his life.
Nothing better than a old guy who is happy and free. Bravo thank you.
In my heart I believe this was the best thing for Ace. We know nothing of his previous life but when you're dropped off at age 19, I think it's safe to assume that he's better off now than whenever he was before. He gets tons of of comforting cuddles & plenty of play time with a whole new friendly fur-fam!! I believe Ace is experiencing a love like he's never known before & I pray these last years are the best of his life 💖🐾
Blessings to Ace's adoptive Fur Momma 🙏 You make the world a better place🌞
i think he was well treated before. he is in amazing health for 19years!! His temperament is great and he is well balanced. this dog was probably let go by elderly person or some other reason they could no longer care for him. I know someone who has to give up their dog due to work/living arrangements, it happens and its no ones fault. its better thn letting them lose to fend for themselves as many do
19? That is amazing. Thank you for adopting him.
I thought only small dogs lived that long. That’s truly amazing.
Damn he’s 19 and I’m 19 now. Take care of Ace y’all.🥺✌️
He's a year older than me..
Yeah he’s been in that shelter a long time. I hope they take good care of him ✌️
he's 9 years older than me
slipshodpluto Damn you got a long road ahead of you man 👨. Do what you like regardless of what people says.✌️
What an incredible woman, heart and soul. I'm glad such an amazing dog gets to be with her!
God bless those who foster/adopt senior dogs. They possess the purest heart and are doing Gods work everyday.
Ace is adorable and deserves to get a loving caring home for the rest of his days. God bless you lady for adopting that sweet dog.
When you said is this going to be my 1st Foster failure. The answer is yes. I love it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
"It was so worth it..... bc now you're my boy."
Such a sweet, pure, lady.
Love foster fails. So so happy for ace!!. Cried many happy tears 😭 was scared for a min that he wasn't going to get to keep this wonderful woman & his 2 fur siblings and then she kept him and I could breath again. Best of everything to all of them. Thanks💕🐾
Kay UK..London....This was so lovely...I do not know how he was given up in the twilight of his life...that is not loving a dog...This wonderful lady is giving him..I am sure the true love he deserves...this is why whatever happened before is now forgotten....Wonderful story............I am moving to Pembroke in Narberth Wales..to a cottage with massive gardens..one being a secret garden...I live alone..only one son.of 35...I am 75 so cannot take young rescue dogs...but can take senior dogs....I cannot wait to start my new family!!!......This story and this kind lady has convinced me It will be a very happy family..........
Senior Dogs need love too... ❤️
Aww, that’s so sad that he never got adopted for so many years, he’s such a beautiful dog💔
He was surrendered at 19 years of age. Who could surrender a 19yr old dog? Its heartbreaking
Hello Hi he had a home for 19 years
Ashley Nicole 💯agree with you!
@@ashleynicole3499: Hell yeah 😖, why should you do that. I really don't understand people sometimes 😔
@Smileyrie James: That's possible, but little more explanation in the video, would be better. So at least why.
*That was no foster failure.*
Ace found his home and is the Ace of his pack.
*That's all that counts.*
Thank you for adopting Ace..
So happy to see Ace again. I remember hoping she would adopt him when I watched the first video about her fostering him. This makes me so happy to see Ace's happy face spending his final years with a wonderful mom and siblings.
Poor bubba. Hope he lives out the rest of his life in comfort.
what a lovely bravehearted woman! what a precious pupper!
The Dodo is the best channel on TH-cam ❤️
I always like to start my day with Dodo♥️
One of the best animal channel on TH-cam
Sure is
I'm so glad she kept him. I felt so sad thinking he just got comfortable and would be moving again at his age. I'm so glad she adopted him and it going to be there for him through his final days. He deserves it
I love how she’s introducing him to everything!😊😊😊
I am crying and happy at the same time
Me too!! 😢😮😖😭
😊
Me too 🥰
I was hoping Ace would end up as a foster fail. That lady is a perfect Mom!
Ace, there is no way you're 19! I'm gonna need to see some doggo ID!😁😁 seriously though, congrats on finding your furever family. Here's to many years together and making cherished memories. 💖💖💖💖
👍🏿
Your comment melted my heart
@@sirhoodie7961 daww, you're sweet! I'm a sucker for sweet furbabies!
HOW IS THIS DOG 19? He looks and acts so much younger than mine.
Never had a real "puppyhood" so he's making up for lost time
He don’t look 19 at all
@@colinquinn7516 lost my good boi to cancer too. my aunt has a new good boi who’s 1 and a half. he is, indeed, a good boi
@@colinquinn7516 I'm so sorry! Cancer sucks completely. But 12 years is still really special. I'm sure your pug is still watching over you ❤️
My Uncle had a Husky/ German Shepherd that lived 19+ years and never slowed down until the end. He was a farm dog that lived with my Uncle, his wife and their 5 children. My Grandmother had the farm next door. "King" was a fixture on the farm from when I was 3 until 2 years after I got out of the Navy. I thought the dog would live forever. I hope my German Shepherd that I got from Germany (where else?) will have that length span! He will be 7 in February and is with me 20 hours a day. Even though he was a puppy, I have adopted 9 dogs in my life and the next time I get a dog it will be an adoption. Those shelter dogs are great to give a home to. My dogs always sleep on the bed with me outside the covers and there is nothing like a dog brought home from a shelter. The joy they show you once they realize they have a home is indescribable!
Thank you so much for rescuing him ! Seniors deserve a chance to live a happy life !
His little front paw high step 😌😭💗💗So cute
So cute 😊. I have a lil Pomeranian dog 🐕. I share videos of her
Handsome dog! 19 years old still going strong!
She is the cutest thing ever
The lady that adopted the dog?
He's a happy boy! Leader of the pack! Still wagging, walking, playing like the pup he is in his head! Ageless, hopeful, and handsome!
The world needs more people like this. Any who put thumbs down are completely devoid of heart and consciousness!
I’m so happy that Ace was adopted by the right loving person. He is plenty of energy even with his 19 years !! 👍😊
Love him !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He is so cute! I'm so happy he gets a happy home ❤️🏡
Oh my gosh , I cried and laughed the whole video...... The way she was touring him all over the house and the way he was following her, it was priceless to watch ❤️🤗
What a LOVELY lady!!!!!!......... I'm so happy for the two of you, and happy that you becane a foster failure this time, ......he needed exactly a loving person like you and you needed another sweetheart in your life😃😃
Thank you Bonnie for your immense golden heart!!!😘♥️
What an incredible loving woman to foster a senior dog like Ace and then to decide to permanently ADOPT him, just made my day!!!!😍 What a geat human being she is!!!!! Sending her and all her fur babies lots of Love And Light!!!!!💓💓💓
She is the PERFECT MOM FOR HIM!
When "Ace" took the lead in the walk, I was like he's gonna be part of this family now. So happy I was correct! 🐾
I adopted a senior cat from my cities shelter. Have had her for two yrs now. She 12yrs young and feisty as ever. After losing my other sidekick, who I raised from a kitten until he was 13, it was the best decision. I didn't have the heart to train another kitten. I was still grieving from losing my dear humbug. She fit right in and made herself at home.
There are truly angels amongst us. I am so happy to see him in a loving caring home. He's a handsome guy and he deserves all the love in the world. Thank you for adopting him I'm sure there's not a day the goes by that you aren't glad you did. Love & blessings to you.
Awww , Ace! So happy you found a loving home, you handsome boy. What a kind lady with a big heart. Bless you both❤❤🤗
Who turns in a pet that they have owned for years? How cruel. What peppy boy, and such a wonderful dog. And the lady who adopted him is very special, too.
You wonderful lady
I saw his video when he picked out his first toy. To see him in a home brings me to tears. Thank you Dodo for sharing with us this wonderful update on Ace and for letting us know that Ace has finally found his furever home.
Cheers to the best foster failure. From the moment Ace walked into your house it already looked like it was meant to be. So happy fur Ace and his siblings and their Mom for doing a wonderful thing. Happy Valentine's Day to y'all. ❤❤❤❤
Seeing him wag his tail brings joy to all of us :)
This woman is a treasure
I cant believe he is 19. So active!
Omg this brought tears to my eyes. This adorable lil woman is an angel, they were all meant to be together
❣️❣️❣️
I’m literally crying right now! Thank you so much for taking this boy!!
Thanks so much for adopting ace! He is such a sweet heart.
I love senior dogs 🌞
Sweet lady and a sweet pup.
I promise when i retire i will adopt older dogs like this.
What an amazing senior puppy.
Thank you for not giving him up and adopting him. He is a lucky dog to have your love.
God bless her heart 🙏💓 amazing woman
OH!!! i'm so happy for Ace and this is why I have as yet to foster. I will be a foster fail probably every time lol.
Another foster fail! This woman is a gem for sure. Everyone seems to want a puppy but she wanted a 19 year old dog!
Such great shape for his age!
I would adopt that dog in a heartbeat if he was in Az
I’ve seen videos about this dog before, I’m so happy he’s got a home.
I want the dog soooooooooooo bad!!!
Lots of senior babies waiting for you :)
Love these adoption stores about older dogs. Thank you to all the people adopting older dogs and giving them the life they deserve of lots of love and safety. Special people adopt older dogs.
It's hard to believe he's so active at 19! I didn't think dogs lived that long but congratulations for getting such a sweet boy. I've had 2 failed fosters and though they are gone now I will always miss them. Thank you for taking him in. Win win.
