@@tc4998 uhm

@@zeddert2869 Tbf the op could be taken that way as well... I saw it and I was like wtf

KappaKappaKappaKappa I literally started crying on that part.

😫😫💜💜💜💜

... pirate may only have 2-3 years left... cuz an average dog lives up to 15 years old... so I'm scared. I don't wanna cry

omgggg thank you for adopting this beauty💖 please update us

@@user-hj7hj1bo8l what happened to her?

@@chai8225 She was losing mobility in her back two legs. she just got back from the vet and is much better than yesterday. Starting laser treatment Wednesday,

Yes, so,so, true❤️❤️❤️😇

And doggie form too.

So very true. Thank you for giving her a home and family and most of all love.

@Matt 💯❗

you realize these adopters are supposedly seen supporting trump on instagram....right?

I get that I had 2 shelties that died within 3 months of each other ,nothing heals your heart like giving love to another.we are born with an unlimited amount there's no need to wait a long time dogs teach us and give us so much .the sheltie pup I got after Maggie and teddy is Seamus and he's 13 I know what's ahead but I love him up everyday and try to be mindfully in all the moments I have.

Same here as well. I'm 71and have lost five very loved dogs. I shed a tear when I think of them but smile when I remember the quality that they have brought to my life.

Bonjour et merci Robert pour le brave compagnon que vous allez sortir du refuge 🙏 Merci

That's the PEFECT attitude!!

Meka"lei"lei 👍👍👍💖💖💖🙌💖💖🐶💖🌈 Rest well at the beautiful Rainbow bridge, sweet girl Pirate! 💜🙏💜💐

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

Meka"lei"lei 💜

@@lizbitsmith9706 yo i use spell check i cant help if you cant read ,you idiot!!! "hahah think type, words for you"@ Lizbit idiot. Go to 10 shelters and tell me ts not sad not highly funded city shelters !(:

Sorry to read this. But at least she got to experience some real love and happiness before she passed on.

How wonderful that they gave her a loving home and in exchange she enriched their lives and gave them love too. RIP sweet Pirate.

RIP pirate we will miss you

Omg so sad but you have her such love

All dogs go to heaven.

Silver Tsunami it was so heartbroken that for seven years...... SEVEN HUMAN YEARS did she live in that shelter, alone, no one wants, old, and just tired of life, i mean just sitting there for just a day is already enough for me to handle, but for SEVEN YEARS, like how can a dog live like that, but bless the family for keeping her in a forever home. Btw i changed the days to years because the one i started typing was days

God bless ur family foster parents

Sure can

They are actually the BEST dogs to get since they appreciate everything SOOOOOOO much more than a spoiled puppy/young dog that has never known what it's like not to have a home or owner. 100% Fact

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!

👍🏽😂

i liked your comment .

Nope, it's that they got a dog instead of babies and they treat it like a baby.

I was definitely crying not gunna lie

LOL! You should like your own comment its seems plausible to me. Liked it too !

Anyone who goes into a shelter and comes home with an animal they will love and care for has done a good thing. Pirate just drew the short straw too many times. Not this time though.

@@Ilovelosangeles two years of great memories for her before she passed maybe cancelled out the 7 years of waiting. I adopted a senior Labrador and he passed after having him for three years. I just regret not doing enough. I have a younger Labrador now and he is the apple of my eye and lives life like a King.

@ Rachel Garber - The only pathetic people are the ones who abandoned her.

@@sjha020165 WELL SAID! That is 💯 the truth!

@@MlSS.S And those who overlooked her for 7 long years.

Kill previous owners and adopt don't shop and all pet shops pet stores and puppy mills need to go out of business forever same goes for all kill shelters permanently and shut down all dog meat cat meat horse meat rabbit meat trades

Nah ill pass. Not taking a chance with a 50-50 jail dog that will either be great or be aggressive beyond repair. Ill continue to shop thanks hippie

I love adopting. And I love buying too. I rescued my first dog and just bought my second puppy. And I plan I doing both again in the future. People can do what they want. So let others make their own choices.

Jessie Thomas If you shut down shelters, people would just be dumping their animals in the street to fend for themselves. No-kill shelters don't have the capacity or funding to take in all unwanted pets and keep them indefinitely.

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.

I had the same.. got emotional about it . So caring and loving ..

I agree! 💗😁

I'm going to Adopt A Senior after seeing this❤

Bella Bella GREAT 🐕🐾❤️ They will love you and will be so. Grateful. You will see it in their eyes. They will be so sad at the shelter but when you bring your Senior fur baby home you will see happiness come over them. You will see it in their eyes....Simply ❤️ LOVE...

There's tears.

Absolutely bang on. Brought tear to my eyes

Pirate crossed the rainbow bridge in September 2019- so thankful she knew love in those years with such incredible owners.

youd never see a republican do something caring like this for a animal

​@@EyeOfThePhi Who hurt you?

starlite33 yep no kill shelters are the best shelters 👍🏾😊 like you said, it wasn’t a home but at least she had a chance for a new life eventually!

@@jonjb4025 are you saying that the kill shelters are the best shelters?

succ my ass lol what? No, man, the NO-KILL shelters are the best! Btw, your name made me lol 😂

I met a woman who worked at a shelter that had one of the worst jobs ever. She had to choose daily which dog or cat got put down. I don't care what I was being paid I couldn't do a job like that. It would be soul crushing.

@@Jim26D yes it is terrible and it doesn't seem right, but I don't know what the short term solution is when there are not enough spaces or no kill kennels available and not enough people to adopt the dogs. Here in Michigan every six months or so there is a news report of a discovery of a dog hoarder who has 50, 75, or even more dogs in their house and the dogs are living and dying in horrible conditions. I think sometimes these dog hoarders think they are doing the right thing by taking in dogs to keep them from being executed at dog pounds but dog hoarding like that is not the answer either.

Ghost I am also. This was just the best story ever 🥰

@@annazikopoulos2257 yep

Same here :')

Sometimes I don't even smile

I am too ego to cry but my tears are stubborn!

at first, i thought her sad look was just the way she looked naturally, that it gave her the impression to be sad. But when she get adopted, man you can littarly SEE her change on her face ! This is wonderful

Indeed

Amen. Halellujah ❤❤❤❤❤

There are many beautiful adoption storys.. but yes, it was 😢❤

Wow, that is beyond anazing!

@@annifieber361 Why are you telling ne thus? From what I read the other comment seened hesitant to adopt older dogs bcz of costs.

@@veramariecano289 sorry wasn't meant for you 🙃

do u have to pay for a pet from a shelter if ur gonna adopt them

@@anzb6727 yes, sure

This is why fostering is so necessary and so important! When a dog has been in a shelter for a certain period of time, they should be placed with a foster family until they can find a home.

People are saying she died but hey at least 2 years probably canceled out those 7

Swan and you’re just a person on RU-vid

@Swan You're an animal, too.

Pirate lived for 6 years with her forever family!

You are amazing people I respect you so much thank you for being you you made her life full much love people

Yeah atleast for the last time he felt love 😍

@@kittylady6946 How lovely and to think if they had not adopted her when they did she seemed to have only a few months life left in her from her sad disposition . They prolonged Pirates life considerably with kindness and love . I found this very moving indeed

I am crying right now out of happiness, because this great couple adopted her in spite of her age.

Ranjith George Yaaaaasss!!

Exactly!

.... me too !!

They were missing something in their life, too.

Exactly what I thought. She looks so much younger in her home, with her humans! She just needed love....

im bored your a very good person 🙏🙏🙏🙏

God bless you for doing so!

Exactly my thought. : )

they will totally respect that too. you can go in and say what dog has never had interest, what dog is the oldest, what cat has been here the longest...they know and they will be delighted for someone to take one that is usually overlooked!

I can’t wait to do this too. I want to give a dog an opportunity.

Yea do that!

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 still have my dog and she is almost 16

Holland Babbidge thank you! Perfect example. ❤️

Indecisive N.E.E.T I’m sorry your dear dog passed away and I do understand you wanting to try and protect your family from as much heartache as possible ❤️

This video is over 3 years old. Pirate is probably dead

​@@mitzy123you just had to ruin it.

​@@mitzy123 If that comment made you feel better - you definitely should meet a therapist... You are a sick person, that's obvious. Do you have somebody in your life, who cares about you?

Isabel Macias-Guffy You’re talking about Peluchin Entertainment right? He is such a horrible person

I know 😁😀😄😃💜💜💜

I’m pretty sure selfless isn’t a good word to use... it means selfish as in if they were selfish they wouldn’t adopt the dog... but yeah! They are nice people kind!

@@nicoleaquino6487 Do you even know what selfless means?

@@nicoleaquino6487 self·less : adjective concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own; unselfish. "an act of selfless devotion" Educating one's self is necessary. So, I am POSITIVE Stacey knew exactly what words to use. You on the other hand, not so much.

ejodoin0704 that is not what mine says it says that it is selfish or rude so I don’t know what your talking about but ok! You do you boo!

Good for you Rob! Thank you

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!! ❤

5th?! Jesus christ your heart

@@roxannerodriguez7075 I'm so very sorry for your hardships, but thrilled you all hung in there & made it to the other side! Now, if things are stable & secure, it's time to maybe get yourself another furbaby? Or maybe become a foster parent. 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.

Bless you! ❤

A few beautiful people.

Wonderful! You are an inspiration 💙

IKR...just when u thought you've seen the saddest vid on Dodo...comes this heart-warming story about Pirate..🥰🥰🥰🥰

Poor thing.....

same

I love this 🥹

Bless you for taking on your 9 year old doggie. Glad he is 13 now and doing well. X

I'll tell ANYBODY who will listen that older dogs make the BEST pets EVER!! Most shelters (I believe) have a senior for seniors programs, so you can pick up a senior dog for nothing. They're happy to get the older dog out of the shelter and YOU get a NEW best friend.

I wish they came with a 5,000 dollar vet gift card

Hugs for Sasha all the way from India!

Hugs and kisses for Sacha all the way from Brazil 🤩🤩🤩😍

What tyle of dog is ypur dog?

I'm 67 and if you don't think I am concerned about me getting older and nobody having or wanting to take time for me! I am just so happy for that BEAUTIFUL Pirate! One thing for sure - my pup is 14 and he is not well. If, when time comes, I'm going for an older dog - we can grow older together. I am an animal lover!

God bless you, Second Thought. ❤

Opps Endless Congratulations! And I cried too aha!

Same 😭

I cried too and i'm not pregnant😂

Im pregnant with food, it counts

I'm crying but it's because I'm pregnant. Oh wait, no, it's a beer belly. So yeah it must be the video.

RIP PIRATE 😥❤️

At least she got to pass away being loved and have a real home. What every dog should have

@Molly McCullagh at least she had fun and love in the last part of her live which is amazing not every dog gets to have it unfortunately

@Molly McCullagh i hope ill have a chance to give a better live to a dog one day like in the video or like you did though a stable job and a house are the minimal requirement to do that cant just wing it gotta be able to give it the best.

😢. But also 🥰, because she got to live out the rest of her life well loved and happy, as every dog deserves.

Scott Bentley YOU are the best too if you adopt an older dog! 😊

@@jonjb4025 Agreed!

Scott Bentley me too!!

After watching the Dodo videos about senior dogs, my next dog will also be a senior. 😊💕🐶🌈

I am thinking about adopting an elder dog. I’ve never had a dog, only cats. Methinks it’s time for some puppy (they all are deep down) love ❤️.

You are awesome.

Jason Philippy that’s the truth!

You took the words out of my mouth. Love you!

@@dognatious6153 :) :*

No, thank you!

Show your kindness to any poor and helpless animals as you did and the Karma will shower you and your family with unexpected positive things in your lives in return.

Cool ✅

senior dogs are the best

Tsering Sandup I did that with my 4 rescue cats. One was 12 years old and she lived to be 17. She unfortunately went blind 3 years after rescuing her but I still loved her no matter what. She passed away a few months ago while sleeping next to me. Now I’m considering fostering cats senior cats. However I don’t do the things I do for good karma. I feel like it’s in my nature to be kind.

@Guru Amirite Finally got her crew :)

I know, she's the cutest thing ever! She's the one I'd make a beeline toward, thank God for this wonderful girl who felt the same way!! Old dogs are the absolute best! ❤❤❤❤

Such a magnanimous couple who only wants the best for the dog. She is such a big hearted lady. Bless her and her family.

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 :)

I couldn’t agree more!!!

Bill counts a very nice comment I got out of the coast guard in Juneau Alaska my wife got transfered to Honolulu. Where the dogs quarantine was miles away. We saw many strays its sad Yes pirates life tore my soul Thank you to the great people who adopted him. Such a beautiful dog. I thank them for there service as well Take care bill.

A dog at any age is a gift but a senior dog has wisdom to know and thrive with love because he/she has experienced loss.

At last, Pirate knew real love. ❤
