Cesar Millan: How to Pick the Best Shelter Pet for You | Zappos.com 

I love that he shows that all dogs can find a home, as long as they are a right fit for the owner

Don't judge them with breeds because they don't judge you with race- one of most beautiful thing i heard today.

I have adopted all my life. But i think from now on, I will be adopting senior dogs because they deserve a home for the rest of their years.

“Stereotyping is the worst that you can do, in the shelter or street.” Wise words!

This video should be played in all animal shelters as a way to help educate the public to make the best possible home and family placement. Too many animals are returned to shelters because of uneducated adoptions. Thanks again Cesar!

Some of the best advice ever for adopting dogs, all delivered in less than two minutes. Crazy good knowledge on display here. The part about dogs having issues inside the kennel but not outside is very true. When you adopt a dog, what you see in the shelter is not always exactly how that dog is. A dog may seem very quiet in the shelter, but that's just because they're scared, unsure, exhausted or in pain (surgery etc). When you get them home, their personality will really blossom. I wouldn't worry too much about barking either in the kennel. The shelter is full of all kinds of exciting smells and loud noises. A lot of dogs bark when they hear other dogs barking and a lot of dogs in shelters bark for many reasons. Which causes a chain reaction of barking. When you get them home, you will probably find they won't bark as much or will only bark at certain things, like garbage trucks or package deliveries. And those quiet dogs you see at the shelter will probably bark too once you get them comfortable and they are able to show their personality.

This should be an intro video shown at shelters. Good stuff

Ceasar Milan will forever be missed when he leaves this earth. Much respect for this man. Thank you ceasar 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I can't wait to adopt my own pup...and by pup, I mean any age dog that jives with me and our current dog...🤗💜🐶🙏🏽

I adopted 2 Australian shepherds today! In love already ❤️

omg this recommendation came at the right time! i was planning to visit a shelter next week

He is right in many ways... a dog is an ANIMAL... not a person to talk to... or baby ... or fuss over. A dog needs structure, boundaries, and limitations (as top rehabber Jeff Gellman stresses). And taking 3 of mine thru CGC certification and handling many dozens for rescue in shelters helped me understand that.

I'm glad to see you're back, Cesar! We've missed you!!

I am the proud parent of a rescued shelter pitbull named Riley! Age at the time of adoption - 5 years and I wouldn't trade her for anything in this world

I love it because he explains what dog is best for what person and how every dog is adoptable.

When I’m older I want to ask for the dog who has been here the longest and adopt that one

That bit about the dog in front for experienced owner, dog in back for inexperienced is brilliant. It would of never occurred to me, but makes perfect sense. It comes down to who will be the boss.

I love this video. I'm looking into adopting a dog and don't know where to start. This gave me enough information on how to start. Thank you!

I only adopt senior dogs. I love them till the end. My duration is short and heart breaking every single time. But I return to the shelter and always ask for the dog no one wants and has been there the longest. They are so depressed and defeated. Then as we are leaving a light goes on in their eyes. When we get home it's what ever they want. Bed, couch treats and of course endless love and hugs. Everyone should try it. Nothing more rewarding than to save a life.

"Most people don't end up rescuing a dog because they want all of then" so true, and just shows how much love love people have for dogs. If I ever won the lottery, I would donate a large amount of money to these places to help them with getting more supplies for the dogs, and help them promote their agency to help them put these dogs in happy and healthy homes:)

Great advice - the part about visiting with the dog outside the kennel was brilliant.

I'm getting a German shepherd and either a boxer or pit bull from the shelter on Thursday 😉

I would like to personally thank you the adopters for taking them both to be part of the family. May God bless you ferever and ever. I was crying when I saw Mink sleeps without worried. And now I am happy both of them are in good hands. Thank you hopeforpaw and teams, you have saved two innocent girls from harsh life. 2:31

I love how unique dogs can be. I had a pitbull who seemed to like me a lot and he seemed very quiet and timid but the moment i walked away to see another dog he got angry and barked aggressively. I love the quiet shy dogs tho.

All my dogs came from animal shelters and are the best dogs ever. My last one a less then a week ago went to Heaven a black and white Border Collie great I cry and miss him so much, he was my big companion, we walked 4,5 miles daily, I put him flowers on his back and people adored him. He haul instead of barking. He lived 15 years at the end he got arthiritis on hip and legs and couldn't walk anymore. I am in pain lossing him.

Cesar is the best! I'm getting old now and I want to adopt a rescue dog. Hope I will choose the right one for myself because it would break my heart if not, but mostly I fear it would break the dog's heart

1:52 that pup looking at the camera and shaking. Breaks my heart. I hope it is homed with a good family now. Reminds me of my pup. Bye I’m gonna go cry now.

I had tears of joy when I heard that meow when they pulled out the kitten 3:47

Both of ours are shelter dogs and they are amazing!

I love how Cesar doesn't care that it's a pit bull and just cares that it's rescued.

Ive watched your rescue videos and im loving the way you say “halo” to the dogs, so pure and gentle and im sure paws knew that youre just trying to make friend with them. 2:18

All those beautiful creatures deserve a home.

You have no idea, how much I’ve learned from you, over the years. Everything you’ve taught, I’ve remembered. My son had an aggressive dog, a large one at that. And every time I went over there. I ignored him. He’s an outdoor dog. Anyways, when I finally went out side with my son. I totally ignored him, and the next thing we knew. The dog was looking for attention from me. My son was blown away. Cause he’s bitten every one, who’s ever gone out there. But not me😁. Your lessons have taught me how to be around, different types of dogs. And I always, do well. So thank you for everything you have ever taught us 💕. You are, the dog god😄.

The best ambassador for dogs is Cesar Milan.

Im so happy they got adopted together! Now they will be living together forever 5:52

Cesar is the set dog specialist i have eer seen in my life!!!!!!!!

Also research on the breed is important too.

So true my dog Scooby was on anxiety meds at the shelter.. He has been with us for almost a year.. No more meds and the best dog!!! 💞💞🤗

Cesar Millan, a self-made, loving, intelligent and confident young man that brought to the world a new understanding about men's best friends. Un abrazo desde Argentina Cesar!!!

I think all of these dogs realize that the Dog Whisperer is in their presence and they felt his energy. He's awesome at what he does.

One dog at a time make a big difference 🙏💗

I love that they were adopted together! 4:35

Mink’s tongue is so funny And orchid personality so cute!❤️ 3:58

I've wanted a dog my whole life and now that I'll finally be moving into my own apartment in a few months, I'll be able to get a dog. I'm so excited to go to my local shelter and rescue my very own good boy(or girl).

Such an inspiring person. Cesar Millan

I want to rescue dogs when I’m older like hope for paws, they are my role models ❤️🐶 5:41

One thing, I always have been chosen by a dog who comes to me and wants me to give to him what the other dogs don't and that's why they kept him in his corner. That is the most special dog.

Helpful A lot of people are looking for a dog who also needs a home. The right shelter mutt or free-to-a-good-home dogs are who they're looking for but have no dog experience. Very helpful to focus on behavior and the individual dog's temperament.

Love them both, but Minks tongue and while taking a nap just melted my heart.

It really is as simple as this guy says it is. 1) Watch his videos. 2) Understand why he does things 3) Apply his techniques 4) Enjoy your new family member ...simple

That’s why he has a show because he knows !!!

I didn't even see my dog before I was picking him up to adopt him! I had to pick from pictures of the dogs and a description from the shelter. But he is perfect for our family😊

awww, i almost started crying over these two, I'm glad they were adopted together!! :D 2:44

I found 3 puppies abandoned in the woods. I found homes for all 3. One was blond boy dog, food growly. One was a girl, runt, wiggly and energetic. The one I would have wanted to keep, but I had 2 dogs at the time, was the girl pup who quietly walked up to me an put her chin on my knee.

Thank You Cesar for explaining what dogs look for in a person. we are going to get 4 dogs at the shelter & this will help us.

I have always had the best dogs. I let the dog choose me and it’s always been a win.

I always adopt animals with my feelings you just connect with certain ones just feel them.

0:40 I got exactly the same peoples go adopt it you won't regret anything that dog is a real beauty

When I was 11 and adopted my first rescue from the shelter, she was loud, in charge, and at the front barking. I was so excited and thought she'd be the best to play with (my kid mind thought so haha). We love and care for her dearly now, but looking back I probably should have adopted the dog in the back lol! I was inexperienced and my dog took charge for years until I learned 😂

Cesar Teasers..... Always leave you wanting more....

I volunteer at a shelter and this is so true

ive got a massive yard and i am looking for an energetic dog. after a lot of thinking and a dissapointing situation where a dog wasnt being given to us anymore, we most likely going to adopt a kelpie mix puppy from the no kill shelter i go to. hes black and has a crescent on his chest so im probably naming him mars.

Omg Minks face while taking nap priceless 😍I’m so glad they got adopted together 🙏🏼🙌hope for paws always amazes me with what they do 2:39

my favorite dog is doberman and german shepherd huskies and labs

I am so happy that they were adopted together. ♡ Godbless their new family. ♡ 3:19

I'm watching this because as soon as I get my own place and enough money I plan on going to a shelter and adopting a dog (preferably a pit bull).

Every dog is fit for our home when they are not discriminating us so it our rightful duty to do the same!

i used to wanted a husky because its my dream dog, that is until i follow Cesar's step and focus on the energy instead of the breed, i ended up bringing home a pit bull and a pom that day ~

I’m hoping to go to the shelter near me I’ve never adopted, but I have never bought a dog either But so far in my life, all of our dogs came to us One dog kept coming over to my grandmas house and the owner just let her have her, Another was found on the side of the rode , skin and bones, came home with my dad and lived a good life Youngest one was found near our garage doors at 4 am on Halloween night, he’s the baby of the house I really hope we can adopt a dog/ cat in our lives, all the little angels deserve a good home

I LOVE CESAR

I wish I could show you a picture of my shelter dog. He is truly a Velcro dog. ALWAYS with me

I love me some Cesar! The absolute best in the business!

Can we have a 4-5 hour show about Cesar Millan?!

Cesar said, in one of his books, to take the shelter dog you are considering on a walk to see how you go together. Like test driving a car. This video shows that but was too quick to mention it.

Last year in maybe around September or october. Me and my family were leaving a parking lot. We were then turning left the we saw a little white matted dog with long hair running on the side walk. So we made our dad stop the car, then me, my mom, and my brother went out and followed it. We assumed he was very smart cuz he wouldn’t cross the street or anything. So we kept following him. At one point he stoped and barked at us, then he went on his way again. But then he went into a neighborhood. He went to a front of a house that surprisingly had the same breed as him. So then they started barking at each other, then the owner lady came out. We asked if it was her dog, then she said no. We were then able to corner him in some plants, then my mom picked him up. We then walked all the way back to the car. We took him home then we still had a little cage thing that we had for our little bald chihuahua, but it sadly past away about 6 years ago I’m guessing. We then put him in the little area then we washed him. We went to the store to get him stuff. We were at the store then my dad texts me saying that he jumped out of the area and went next to his bed. I told my mom and we just started laughing and told my dad to put him back in and stay with him. We got home and I took a bath. Then I come out with a towel in my hair then he just starts barking at me. So I get scared then my moms says he doesn’t recognize me. Then a week has past by and my mom has already gotten him groomed and saw if he had a microchip. He didn’t. So my mom posted on Facebook a before and after photo of him on a certain page. Then my moms friend started sharing it. I told my mom I wanted to keep him. She said she’ll give it a week and if nobody claims him we’ll keep him. So I got excited. But then I told her what happens if they fake it. Then she said she wants photo proof and their name to see if they respond back. So another week went by and we named him Rocket. And now as I type this.... he is now sleeping next to my bed right now. He is truly a special dog. He is our protector, and family member. Although, it’s hard for him to make new dog friends. I have a German Shepard named Sherlock. They kinda get along if that’s a word... He isn’t really a guard dog because he has ADHD and because he it so sweet! Rocket acts like a cat almost! He lays on his back, feet laid out, and more! Who would’ve known there was a dog like him! 5:14

The more I watch the guy, the more I like him.

i would love to adopt a pet.

When he said the kitten was dead I almost cried 😭😭😭 5:55

Can you coach me, you have a great voice, look, attitude! I could listen to you spill wisdom any day.

Tears run down from my eyes watching this video.Only people can be so cruel!!! 3:44

Yeah but it's not really the same comparison with race and dog breeds since dog breeds have different temperaments and characteristics. For example, if you're really lazy and live in a small apartment you probably shouldn't get a dog like a border collie which has a lot of energy and needs space. Dogs that need space can become destructive and territorial if left alone in small apartments. One of the reasons people give away their dogs is because the dog doesn't act they way they wanted or doesn't match their lifestyle. Also checking the breed can help determine which training methods and environment is best.

He’s good

Thanks! Very helpful 🐶🐶

Unlike now where you have to grab them while you can. We just loss our dog and we are having trouble finding a new one. A local shelter had 40 people apply for 9 puppies before it closed. We missed out. One shelter is taking all good applications and have a lottery drawing. Ine puppy was even adopted out from under us. It is crazy!

Cesar Millan is GREAT!

So much wisdom in a short amount of time

Thankyou Cesar 🙏🏻

Why would anyone dislike this?

Nice ... that the two were adopted together. Thank you both, you are wonderful people and true heroes..... 2:41

I can't wait to get my first dog 🐕

Cesar, please address in a future video how to distinguidh between middle and back of the pack dog personality. Thank you so much.

Thanks Cesar Milan. Truly an Inspirational Icon. Love the energy too

OMGOSH so many cutie pies behind him 😢 wish I could take em all🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Adocao e amor e alegria. Gratidão a todos os protetores ao redor do mundo pela causa animal😍😘🐅🐈cada família adotar um cãozinho bênção

Cesar, you are already doing this by helping owners change their energy with their dog. Could you help me change my energy with my cats and life in general?

I want to adopt them all lovable poochies

I want to adopt a dog in the future, but boy will it break my heart to see all those dogs

집이 큰개 키우기에 정말 좋을꺼 같아요 집도 크고 마당도 있구 부러워용 2:14

Cesar...BRILLIANT, and incredibly brief video! PLEASE keep your positive, beautiful, dog-loving voice out there!

This is so much more information than I thought!
