Tia knows exactly how this dog feels. She knows he is terrified, he feels lost, he needs love and attention. Thank you Tia for all you do for these animals. Great job!
Tia is another leader in the rescue movement who has such great instincts. "We come in peace." 😉
Indeed, but is is a very big problem that the shelter where he first was located, is not as good and the people there do not understand dogs. Because then others might not be so lucky.
More shelter workers need to know what Tia did to get this dog out of his unhappy place. Too many terrified dogs get labeled as aggressive and put down.
@Sam's Mom
I agree. People panic and jump to a permanent solution because they don't understand what's troubling the dog or how to handle it. I hope Tia makes lots of videos demonstrating how to handle various situations like she did here. Great job, Tia!! 😊
Wow. Getting the scared pup an emotional support dog was brilliant. It’s so great to see people who know their stuff.
I think the young lady at the shelter learned a precious lesson from Tia. Everybody did a great job but Gunner is the hero here!
All he needed was a friend! and Tia knew that! She is the best!
She is awesome.
If he’s a wolf mix, the growling is normal and not necessarily a bad thing. Love it that Tia rescued him ♥️👍
Nah he’s a husky, his coat looked rough at first cos he was stressed and it was way too hot for him
@@calamitynatalie8590 definitely a wolf mix husky. The growling however is still defensive behavior. He was scared and his hair frizzing up was also defensive posture.
@@LittleMoose1 Huskies do that too
@@calamitynatalie8590 you aren't that familiar with dog breeds, look up key differences in Huskies, Wolves, and the hybrid between the two. Gunner is a mix, whether you believe it or not.
@@LittleMoose1 Okay you get them to do a dna test then 😂 do you know how many people say their husky/malamute/shepherd mixes are “wolf dogs”?
That dog is too small to be a wolf dog, when you see him at the end after some good meals and a groom you can clearly see he is a husky.
As a former shelter vet tech for 10 years at a no kill shelter, I was bawling.
People who surrender animals really have no clue how stressful it it on the animals.
I personally have never been to jail or prison but, I agree with the shelter/jail mentality.
TY from a broken old tech.
💖
🤘
I agree ,it's heartbreaking ,it's just pure fear,
I worked in rescue, was a veterinary technician, groomer, worked in a Humane Society, too as a veterinary technician. They had us work in every area though in case they needed help in any of those areas at any point in time, plus I loved working with the animals up front in adoption, and it got me out of strays, and vaccinations and medical, for a few hours. It was hard to see some of these dogs 🐕 that couldn't handle being in kennels day in and out, some were so scared, and traumatized 😢 😞.
I volunteer at an animal shelter, and you’re right. People who surrender animals have no clue how stressful it is for the animal. Since I mostly work with the cats, I’ve seen a lot of cats after they’ve been surrendered. To anyone outside, they would probably think the cat is aggressive, when in reality their scared because they’re in a stressful situation and don’t know what’s going on We have to keep them in the back room kennels until they calm down and acclimate to the environment. This can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks depending on age and how long the cat was with the owner. A fifteen year old cat who has been with its owner for years will take longer to acclimate than a six month old kitten who has been with its owner for a few months.
I know that situation very well, I was in rescue, worked as a veterinary technician for 16 years, and worked at the Humane Society of Mississippi. Then moved back to my home state and was a veterinary technician for 2 more years, until the last vet I worked for had to retire and I decided to myself myself due to back issues. This was my passion, my life and I still try to save, rescue when I can. I'm a big pit bull advocate, and all animal savior. These animals and dogs mean more to me than life itself for they have saved me too, over the years, All my life! People, most people, don't get dogs, can't read them or don't understand them why they can't trust, what they have been through. It's our responsibility to make sure they understand that we are there for them, give them love and understanding for the heartache they must have been through and change that for them and show them there's people who really care, and all people aren't BAD. HOPEFULLY one day our next generation will be more loving than ours has been and we won't need rescue anymore 😢😢
Sorry but there’s no such thing as a no kill shelter
It's like Gunner saw how happy and playful the other dog was with them, and he immediately took the cue that he could have some of that. They didn't have to ask him twice if he wanted to come out, and within maybe seconds, he knew they were his kind of dog people. Amazing to see his demeanor change when he saw a happy dog with them. Tia is brilliant.
The transformation of this dog is incredible! Tia knew that all along! WOW!
I love how the girl was like really that easy ? 😂 thanks again Tia for saving a dog that just need training . Merci 🙏🏻
No one knows dog’s behaviors better than Tia and Villalobos ❤
They are amazing
This made me so happy. Gunner is a handsome boy. I wish him good luck.
Robin Walter Tina changed his name to Danny Ray he's no longer Gunnr
This dog looks just like my Boo. He was a rescue also.My husband was volunteering at a shelter when he was brought in. They had been trying to catch him for a year. He was unapproachable and was scheduled to be euthanized but my husband made a connection with him and adopted him. We had our baby for 16 wonderful years. He was part Norwegian elkhound.The best dog ever!
He was absolutely afraid and needed a friend! Good boys Auggie and Gunner!☺
Well done Tia, I think the previous rescuers learnt a valuable lesson there! He deserves a bright future in a forever home, what a treasure he is.
What lesson did they need to learn? I think the other rescuers just didn't have the same resources that Tia does, so they couldn't help him the same way that she did. That's why they were reaching out for help. It's not like they actually wanted to euthanize him.
@@ecw6231 They learnt that bringing in a calm, docile companion dog did the trick in calming a terrified dog they did not know what to do with! They were going to euthanise him cos they did not know how to handle him, remember?
Yay!! The question is did the shelter learn anything from this for the next terrified dog?? I wish more shelters would learn from this. I’ve watched Hope for Paws forever and this is the one message Eldad has always tried to get out.
People are the ones that are to learn from this, not shelters or rescues. They are underfunded and overpopulated. When people start spaying and neutering their pets and socializing and training them properly, then we can tell shelters that they need to fix what they’re doing. Just like Tia stated at the end of this video, no shelter worker likes to euthanize dogs. The epidemic of homeless animals starts with the people purchasing them from backyard breeders for their kids for Christmas just to turn around and throw them outside and say hi to them once a day and never give them vet care. As sad as it is, and how much it sucks, euthanasia serves a purpose.
@@alyssaford5820 As long as shelters exist, they need to be able to accurately assess dogs, unless shelter workers think their job is to find reasons to kill dogs. If that’s the case then own it. If they want to serve dogs then they need to learn how to do it well.
I adopted my dog from a shelter. They told me I should never bring my dog to a dog run because he’s dog aggressive. I took him anyway because I was raised first by a GSD then a Doberman, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I immediately got insurance in case he bites someone then I got a dog trainer.
Within a few visits the trainer assessed that my dog isn’t aggressive towards anything on this planet - not people, not other dogs, not other animals…he doesn’t even return aggression when other dogs growl or snarl at him, if they’re small dogs he ignores them, if they’re big dogs he stares them down while the other owner gets their dog under control. It’s been 5 and a half years and my dog has been in the local dog run twice a day every single day. This is NYC so the run is pretty busy - never had an issue with him. He’s the calmest dog in the neighborhood, with the sweetest disposition. When the park is mostly empty I let him roam off leash because he never runs up to people or other dogs.
My family actually picked this dog because he was the calmest dog in the shelter, so why I was told he was dog aggressive I’ll ever know. At the shelter I was told that my dog fits the profile of dogs that get put down most often: he’s a pit bull, he wasn’t a puppy (he was between 1-3 years old when I adopted him) and he’s black. To those three strikes that he didn’t deserve they added another that he also didn’t deserve. What would have happened if I was someone who couldn’t afford insurance so wanted to avoid any liability? What if I was intimidated by pit bulls? What if I wanted a dog in order to join the neighborhood dog community? Many people would have passed over this dog and he could have been killed, just as many fine dogs get killed in shelters every day.
A bad assessment can cost a good dog it’s life. To say that shelters shouldn’t have to learn to accurately evaluate dogs is ridiculous.
Bro when a shelter is a kill shelter there's usually not enough funding to have enough workers or volunteers spending the 1 on 1 time these dogs need.
@@grogsmashrock7240 and how long did it take these people to get that dog to come out of his shell maybe 10 minutes? Shame on the shelter. They need better training
@@dcwatashi if there is one person on staff with 20+ dogs how long would that take? What if other dogs need feedings and walks during this time? What if the one person on staff has too many general responsibilities to be able to possibly do this?
Tia is the true dog whisperer!!❤❤
Thank God for Danny. He's lucky to get out of there. So many dogs are not making it because they are being misunderstood 😌 thank you, Villalobos 💞

Oh so glad he was saved. They cannot be in a pound. They really freak out and change demeanor that can make end of life happen so quick even though they are just terrified. Makes me cry. This is my type I always had.
Thanks Tia you are wonderful. I try to donate to you as much as I can. I tell others to donate too. I am a mama to 1 staffy, 1 American bully, 1 pit mix I rescued from a shelter, 1 pocket pit. and I love them. I am a pitti mom forever. I know you are very strict about adoptions but I would take a very gentle good with other dogs pitti young old ...It breaks my heart so many need homes and are put down. My husband loves my pocket pit he is trying to win her over to him but she's mine lol
So glad they saw through the aggression. I have soft spot for huskies, we had one when I was a kid, and Queenie was so pretty and smart.
We adopted a dog from the shelter that I volunteered at that presented as very aggressive. She was so stressed and anxious there. It took two years to get her to where she is today. She is a happy, loyal dog. We are so grateful for her. Thank you for saying that you cannot know the true dog when they are in a stressful environment like a shelter because that is so true!
This woman totally gets it. Very heartwarming.
That animal doesn’t look like an ordinary dog. He is a twin of the hybrid I had many years ago.
Deff a hybrid. A lot of people seem to think he’s not mixed with any wolf at all and i beg to differ with them. He is clearly low content but there is enough wolf in him to show in behavior and physical characteristics. But very much a dog still.
Thank God you saved him.
Thank you for saving Danny Ray❤️ I can't get over the change in his behavior once he was out of the shelter... poor guy was terrified 😥
Thank God for people like you. You saved a life. You save so many lives.
tia is an angel!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR ❤️ SAVING THIS GORGEOUS PUPPY 🐶 ❤
It's so nice to see how much Danni ray ( formerly gunner) was so happy now he's out of that dog shelter as it must feel lonely and like prison for all these dogs it's such a shame but great now to see him out of his shell I'm sure somone will adopt him soon he's lovely
What a handsome pup. Love the work Tia and her pack does
I'm crying with real joy! I'm actually crying my eyes out! I Love this woman, and her inner strength in the fact that she never gives up on these sweet dogs! Thank you for literally saving his life! He deserves love and peace and protection! God bless you all and keep you safe and meet your every need! Peggy Lynn Smith from Corbin Kentucky
I am so glad you rescued him, I have Alaskan Malamute/GS/Husky/Wolf mix dogs and I love my dogs and spoil them immensely. They are very smart dogs, high energy but loving and protective too. That beautiful dog there deserved to be saved and loved! Ty Tia.
Thank you for rescuing this beautiful dog. His eyes are stunning!
God Bless YOU!!!!!!!! Look at the difference!!!!! Thank You for ALL you do!!!!!
Tia is such an amazing role model, she is tough, yet kind and loving! She is a super hero!
Tia,you made my day! You are an angel on earth. Hope Gunner has a happy ending.
Such an important video. Well done pointing out that behaviour in a shelter is not necessarily the real personality of the dog. Kudos as always!
Might be more coyote/dog than wolf/dog. I had a Shepherd/Wolf mix (got her as a stray; we think she was bred for dog fighting), and she was HUGE. Either way, he and her both share the same characteristics: beautiful coat colorings, love being around other dogs, and total sweethearts once they come out of their shell.
Low content if any
I agree with you 100%. The way that this dog behaves and looks to me is mixed with a wolf or coyote. He is beautiful. The eyes give him away🥰
I wish he had his ears up more when facing the camera because Coyote crosses usually have tall standing ears. His bouncing and overall size does seem more coyote than wolf, either way the eye shape definitely exposes his wild heritage.
Out of curiosity did your Shepherd-Wolf come from southern Virginia or North Carolina around 2014? A guy with a bunch of exotics (bears, a cougar, lion, chimp) was breeding wolf dogs and did have connections to a dog fighting and drug ring. He released all his animals two days before a planned raid; the lion and chimp were found, the cougar was sadly shot and only 3 wolf dogs out of what might have been 12 (going by the cages and collars) were recovered. It would be funny if your dog was one of those fugitives!
@@inuendo6365 Nope, my girl was down in Arizona. Though that's a wild story; it amazes me how obsessed with exotic animals some people can be.
I had a coyote mix. She was an awesome dog!
Well Tia is just a god dam angel …let all agree on that!!
I'm so glad they saved him. My sister adopted a dog who was also almost euthanized for being "crazy" when he was in a shelter. He was taken off doggie death row with two hours to spare by a rescue, but they kept him in a crate, so he didn't calm down, and no one wanted to adopt him. His breed are high energy working dogs, so keeping them in crates most of the day was insanity. Literal cruelty. Once he got to a real home, not a box, and was allowed to run around outside, he was an amazing dog. Very sweet and very smart.
Thank you so much Tia for what you go for these babies. The world needs more Tiaa. What a wonderful dog that funny boy is.
WoW Tia you have such helpful knowledge about dogs n rescues. I am so Greatful you took " Gunner" on! He just needed some TLC. THANK YOU FOR SAVING HIS LIFE!🙏🏻❤🐾
I think this lady's gut feeling that gunner just wanted to get out of that prison cell was spot on 👍🐾💯%
Wow,you go tia ,you knew just what gunner needed ,,a attention ,love and someone to care !!!what you do for dogs shows that you are someone special !keep up the excellent work !!!
I cannot imagine all the dog and wolf should that will greet these women when they go to heaven! What a wonderful story!!
Thank you for helping him. So sad the abuse some of these poor dogs have to go through. 😇🙏😇
That was such a good ending. He's a very lucky boy!
I'm certain there's a waiting list to adopt Danny-Ray, he's such a beautiful dog, looks like a wolf and acts like a lab.
Such a huge change for such a handsome boy. God love Tia and everyone else at Villa Lobos. Such HUGE hearts.
He's so scared. He isn't mean. He doesn't want to DIE❤
And just like that! Just shows you the experience on how to act with a dog and know the difference between aggression and fear. So happy for that beauty to he saved.
This video shows perfectly how experience in dog handling is used to get a feared dog out of his protective shell. He was agressive to protect himself... once he was out of this way too small shelter cage, he started to live again. Now there's a happy dog that can run free and feels human love again...
Yeah I thought he's Malamute with so Husky.
GREAT JOB!!
To me it’s common sense all animals locked up, in shelters and so forth are terrified. How could they NOT be. Glad they rescued him.
Villalobos always does great work, it is so satisfying to see real experts do their thing.
It took Tia all of 30 seconds to assess the situation and come up with a solution. The young shelter manager has learned a valuable and useful lesson that day.
Gunner changed his behaviour instantly, and now Danny Ray is a happy boy.
Once his health issues are sorted and he has received some additional training, he will make a lovely family dog. Also, he is a *very* handsome boy.
Tia your understanding of dogs is amazing. Thank you for all your work and passing it on to your children.
TIA is the 1 and only dog momma, she is incredible and I love her ethics and approach xx
I am speechless. That was amazing!
Great rescue! Loved my huskie that I had to rehome to someone who could run with him! New home was perfect!
Thank you to all the Team for your amazing work
Wow, the change in his behavior is incredible. Tia was his angel.
Tia you are amazing! Plus with your family & the team helping out is amazing!!!
Thank you for giving this adorable pup a chance at life!
God bless you all!
So lucky is Gunner now!
Exactly what I knew, this poor dog is absolutely terrified. God knows what he has been through. So good to see him so happy. Beautiful Husky boy!!
Yea Tia for understanding this precious dog and helping him. And giving him what he needed. Blessings Blessings Blessings 💜💟💜🐾💜
My heart just melted!!!! Thank God someone knows how these bubs feel xx
Tia you and your family are a blessing to the dogs you recuse , Thank you for saving these dogs
It can be overcome. So frightened ♥️
Tia and her crew are like the🐐🐐 of all dogs it's crazy how easy they just know and do so much for these dogs. They almost put down a normal puppy bc he was scared of the shelters lack of knowledge and that's sad
What a great team! 💖💖💖💖
I love Villalobos! I love Tia and all of the amazing work she does for so many dogs!❤️❤️❤️
That one beautiful gunner ❤
That's great news! In the last video it looked like she wasn't going to get along with the pack, and would probably have to go. I'm glad it worked out.
I got my lab as a rescue in 2019. She charged the gate of her "cell' barking and spitting. I walked away and came back around, same response. 3rd time she just sat down at the gate and I took her for a walk. I dont think her prior owners were too nice to her, and she was very scared and muley as a result. She is a lovely and happy girl now and I am glad I took the chance on her.
Wow you guys are really good You really know your stuff. Thank you for being so patient and and given Danny boy a new start. Bless your hearts
The worst thing you can do is to talk to a scared, excited dog in a high-pitched squeaking voice. It heightens their fear and excitement.
That is so awesome..ty for saving him
I’m cry;ing me eyes out watching you SAVE the poor babies. I rescued two feral kittens. They are the best cats I’ve ever owned. They were gifts for my Shitzu. She was lonely and depressed from hiding out from COVID the last few years.I wish I could do the same work you do ever,y day but sadly I’m 76 and not in shape to do what you do.
Tia are amazing person with a big heart for all animals. Thank you for helping and caring this beautiful dog Gunter.
Ms Tia ur so awesome thanks for all you do for these dogs🐾🐾🐕
I have so much respect and gratitude for the work you do❤️✨what a sweet little pup with his whole new life ahead of him🙏
It’s a hybrid dog part wolf / dog
My taxi driver had a white one and was absolutely beautiful so magical looking
The yellow eyes gave it away
Actually, I'll bet it's not Wolf but Eastern Coyote in there. Would explain why he's small and the amber eyes as well. Definitely think partially Coyote especially as Coyote mixes are more likely in the area also lso
@@amandasnider2644 there’s actually few wolf dogs that have amber or yellow eyes which it is uncommon but seen if you look into wolfdog’s more some I’ve seen are amber eyed ones
They look like a magical creature which is half wolf and dog
Absolutely
I initially thought coydog.
That is Genius right there!!! Tia Torres you are a true Angel ❤ this world needs sooo much more like you out there ❤❤❤
Thank you Tia for all you do for these animals.
That's tia ,so excellent at what she knows about dog behavior !!!!
Aawww Gunner ❤ I hope he finds a home
Really! The arguing back and forth on here took away the happiness I was feeling! The fact that the animal (dog)was saved was a blessing! WHO CARE WHAT BREED(S) HE IS!
Love this. We rescued an 18 year old cat from the shelter. Even though she only lived 4 months with us, we did everything possible to make her life amazing. People who just dumb their docs, are the worst. 😊
WoW! 3 very profesional ladies, they knew exactly what to do, they made It all look so easy. So happy that Gunner has been given a second chance to live. Good bless you all. Greetings from Spain 💕💕
That dog is gorgeous ❤
You guys are the besttttttt. I just cried 😢 😭 🐾🐾🐾
God bless you and your group for all that you do!💕
Thank you for saving him, how could they even consider putting him down, do they know nothing about dogs ???? He was very lucky that Tia did and she rescued him !!
I would have loved to take him home with me. Kudos to Tia and her team.
Thank you, Canada
Huge difference of a professional dog rescuer handling and assessing the dog’s situation
Tia, you are the dog whisperer, and you know how these beautiful dogs feet. Much respect and love Tia ❤❤
A beautiful hybrid. Although somewhat small for this breed. A friend had a huskie/wolf hybrid who weighed 185 lbs. He could stand on my 6'2" husband with his paws on either side of his shoulders & look him in the eye. He was so cool. People were intimidated by him because of this. He never understood the reaction he evoked. He couldn't bark, he talked. People would jump back when he did, thinking he was getting aggresive. Poor dog. RIP Thor. I will always love you my boy!
I AM SOBBING MORE THAN THANK YOU YALL ROCK!!!!! 💕 💞 ♥️ 💜 💙 🧡 💕
Tia, thank u, u n ur daughter-in-law r true saviors. God bless...
That lady has a type of magic ❤
