I’m 64, I’ve had multiple dogs, plus cats sometimes, my entire life. I’ve learned a lot about dogs throughout the years. Early this year two of our three dogs passed. It’s was heartbreaking. We’re finally ready to adopt again. This video’s inspired me to adopt the dog/dogs which have been at our local shelter the longest. Thank you very much, you’re good souls. Best Wishes to you & Pirate.

EnderFire 11 i know, the amount time she was in there broke my heart too! So glad she found her forever family! I volunteer at a local shelter in the city I live in & I try to give extra love & time to the dogs who have been there the longest; the ones who seem kind of forgotten. But just last week a big, stocky bull terrier mix got adopted & we all cried because he was there so long (5 years) & we all got so attached to him (esp this summer spending so much time together) but seeing him leave w/ his new forever family made our hearts soar! 😊😭 He had the biggest, goofiest smile on his face! It makes me happy every time I think about it!

why they left a dog in cage for 7 years if its a cage the way im thinking of this place needs to be shut down the humane societies ive visited are usually just a way to make money some allow the dogs to live and enjoy and help besides food and water or paper and some stuff them in a cage until they start barking and dying from a lack of motivation it might be a good place a bunch are not usually government funded ones and hopefully it is but i would never give credit to a so called humane society those places are more messed up then dog pounds sometimes i get euthinization is sad but picking a dog up from a bad humane society is sadder in the sense that you are leaving multiple dogs behind sorry for not being more specific @Lizbit smith / lizbit idiot

Squad Gangsta It's not a 50/50 chance that it will be aggressive. Shelter dogs make great pets and mutts are usually more healthy than pure-bred dogs and if you get an adult dog, there's a good chance that it's already house broken and past its chewing stage.

My best friends family always adopts very old dogs to give them an amazing last few years. It's very sad when they pass away but it must also feel so great to give a dog that..

I agree. I've had the puppy before, and yes it's sweet, but it's a lot of work!! I've been privileged to adopt 2 dogs (at different times) both age five! And it, to me, is the BEST dog age ever! One was male, the next female, and it didn't matter- they were just so perfectly aged! They were what I called "set in their ways" and you pretty much "get what you see" with them! Plus! They really never lose the "puppy" in them either. Not until it's time to pass on anyways. Unfortunately for my first baby Bogee, we have had to go thru that experience. With my 2nd baby girl, she is luckily with my mom now. My family became homeless and I was so blessed that my mom had always loved Patrone, and had always wished she could take her! Lol. So when her house burnt down, and she lost her fur babies- and then I was having to move out of our home- a perfect solution came about! Mama got to love on Patrone the way she loved her own babies. And we didn't have to lose Patrone, or give her to someone we didn't know! I really miss having her in my bed at night though. And we have our own home again- but I couldn't imagine asking to take her back from my mom. It's kind of a hard thing, but a very good thing. If that makes sense?? I'm rambling and crying now. Just give older dogs a chance!! They're amazing!! ❤

You both get & give love, but you don't have to worry about a long committment if you are not yet ready. Blessings to you.

The people who just passed her by are not true dog lovers. That beautiful smile. Amazing what love can do

Thank you for rescuing Pirate, it was like she was reborn. She is so happy with all the first everything you and your husband give her. I don't know if you still have her, but I do know that you two have her the best forever family. It is so sweet to see how she gets so much Love and affection from both of you. I can see how she loves her Mama!!

Ill take her in minute!! My dog looks like her and mine was 8 yrs old when she came into my life!! Changed my outlook on life!! I'm an old man with no one in my life but Sasha! Thanks for taking her.

When I get my own home and I am earning enough to keep pets, I am strolling into a shelter and adopting two elderly animals. The most unlikely pets to get adopted are the ones with special requirements like two animals that don't want to be separated, and the elderly animals. I want to find the animals no one else has taken and give them the life they deserve

Leanne Rush I think a dog is considered senior by like age seven or so. So you could potentially get another seven years depending on the breed And honestly, pirate acts more like a puppy than a senior. You saving a senior pup could have the same effect.

I saw a video where this lady went into the shelter and said "I want the dog that's been here the longest and that's the least likely to be adopted. I want the ugliest dog that everyone over looks." You should have seen the dog she ended up with! But it just loved her so dearly and she couldn't have been happier :)

Sooo glad they found her and gave her a home. Wish there were more people like her. We have given two senior dogs forever homes. The first was 6 she lived 8 more years. The sweetest dog and I'm so glad we were able to give her a loving forever home. Then a year and a 1/2 ago we adopted a 9 year old dog and so far she is doing fantastic. Zooming and plays all the time.
