Woman Asks Shelter For Oldest, Most Overlooked Dog. Shelter Workers Left Lost For Words.
This doesn’t happen every day, in fact, it’s almost unheard of. A woman looking for a dog at a shelter opted for an entirely different approach to all the regular adopters.
And on July 24th, all the staff at Asheville Humane Society Adoption Center would shed tears of joy when Leslie Sacks came along.
Leslie had an unusual request. She would ask the shelter to see the oldest dog they had - even if it had medical conditions.
She was adamant that she wanted the dog that had been passed over for adoption time and time again, for any and all reasons. But what did Leslie do that was so unprecedented?

Ain’t nothing sweeter than the love of an old dog.
It means you really earned the love of that older dog 🐶
The love of two old dogs 🥺😍
Amen.

I rescue dogs all the time. Once I went to petsmart to get food for my other rescued dogs and I saw a skinny/boned/scared/blind dog, she was hiding in her little cage. All the other dogs were happily being adopted, I observed for a while this poor dog being ignored by everybody, I knew she needed someone special to step up, someone who could understand this neglected poor doggy, so I took her🥰 She sleeps in a cradle next to my bed in soft bed with blankets.😝
We once got a dog, Lizzie, from a shelter after her previous owners left her in a crate outside in the cold all night, because the dog was getting old and needed a little help up stairs. She was used to hopping on 2 legs to beg for food. After we got her, we ended that horrible tradition with her and she felt so relaxed and slept on her back, even during the day, for the last few years of her life. She had a great retirement.
God bless you. What a wonderful thing you did. I am inspired and will do the same❤️
@@williamyoung9401. People like you restore my faith in humanity! May God bless you🙏
@@kellyg2426 Aww! Well, it is very easy to be nice to animals, I just wish everybody would have the same empathy. I am glad to hear we are in the same team.🥰🥰🥰
Well done i would of done the same
Adopt a senior dog! They are the absolute sweetest and they don't deserve to die in a cage.
I have a woman in my neighborhood who does that exact thing. Her name is Molly and I see her nearly on a daily basis walking, very slowly, with one or more of her senior dogs. She currently has 3 with combinations of many ailments. What a dear, wonderful and caring woman.
These " shelters " are more like prison cells on Death Row . I noticed their long term dog was there only SIX months.
Can you blame the shelters for irresponsible people that dump their pets because they have become inconvenient? They are trying to do what they can with the resourses they are given. If you don't like this situation, take action. Do more than pointing your finger at the problem. Support local no kill shelters, adopt don't shop, choose an over looked adult or special needs animals instead of the cute puppy that could charm anyone into taking them home.
I see many people that are ready with criticism yet reluctant with action. Each of us has the power to make a small difference.

@@LambentLark VERY WELL SAID!!! Thank you.
@Valerie O'Brien Yes! so true I have the most horrific experience I'm not smart. I was mad at daily boat if anybody has to take your pet there do not go there. They are keeping pure bred dog's misdiagnosed and telling lies and act like they used to lies and then bring them back and have studies on them and that's what my dogs want to right now. And I'm doing everything I can to save it from the tortoise painful test today. You're putting through you're horrible people and under the when the last time I saw him. He couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he? Couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't he couldn't wine or bark he could use his voice? I'm like what the h*** is going on here. The Fairfield sheriff's department will not let me go in there and get my dog. They are prejudice so of course. I got a lawyer and I have all kinds of prtouch 2G best. Everybody open and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
My regards🙏💖may god bless her🎉🎉
I'm literally in tears I adopted geno two years ago he was 11 at the time and his little soul was so shattered he didn't even lift his head when people entered the shelter he is the happiest little dog so grateful to be unconditionally loved
Aaand I’m sitting here sobbing
Thank you for doing that ❤️
I adopted a 10 year old dog, he lived to be 18! Best 8 years ever.....Rip Sim furever in r hearts
People who drop off old dogs at shelters are scum.

Bless you.
I asked my shelter if they had any seniors or special needs. The look of shock was precious. I was glad to help.
God Bless You!!!😍
Hey Donna. We have the same last name. I love geneology
Aw did u find a dog?
I noticed that. It's not a common name.
@@CelticAngel2530 so you have to personally meet your cousin ha ha ha
I just adopted two senior dogs also. Their owner passed and I felt a calling. They both are very sweet.
God love your heart.
2 years ago I adopted an unwanted 14 year old yorkie and today she's 16 years old, healthy, happy, and the little love of my life :)
I do not believe there is such a thing as an unadoptable dog. They just need the right family. Kudos to these wonderful people.
You're so right !!! 😘💜🐕🐾🐈🐾❤🌷💋💋💋💋
@@victoriaboerschinger2891 no. All dogs should be adopted. If they are assholes. That's the previous owners fault
@@sagalindhe I wouldn’t want to adopt an aggressive dog who can attack me, my family and other people. Some dogs are un adoptable
@@oomphdooph that is your own decision and opinion. I would adopt an aggressive dog because I believe it still deserves the chance to calm and be happy. Even if it is an aggressive dog there have been many instances of a bit of TLC doing wonders.
Yes
My wife was like this. Our pets are old and have medical issues. Not a problem for our family.
@Journey B People who do this are amazing. My wife was an amazing example to me!
You're wife is a great example of a loving human being! Bet she creates ripples of kindness wherever she goes. No doubt your very proud.
People like that, go straight to Heaven!!! 🙏
Awesome😁hearing that makes me so happy
Vcs São os anjos,que cuida8 desses bichinhos,parabéns.
Ellie was 10 years old when I adopted her. She had been returned to the dogs' home a couple of times. She was Houdini dog and would escape from places, harnesses, you name it. I had my house Ellie-proofed. She escaped within two hours. I chased her, she thought it a wonderful game. I returned home in tears. Ellie returned shortly thereafter. She was with me for 8 years. She was independent and naughty but loving and loyal, and so trusting. I loved her beyond words.
That is a beautiful story. God Bless Her
She is doing perfectly well now and you will see her again. And, they never go to far anyway..!
18 yo dog? Wow!
@@soltantio my friend had a toy poodle that made it you to 20! I’m still shocked
My first dog I ever had a Dalmatian mix named Elvis I had him when I was little once actually somehow managed to escaped from his kennel thing that used to be in the back yard of the house I used to live at but he didn’t run away instead he waited by the back door for me to let him inside it’s funny but I only looked away only for a second then when I looked back he was out idk how he did it when the kennel things door was latched at the time but it was just a one time thing thankfully
I went to a shelter with the intent of bringing home an old cat. When I saw this demoralized tabby in a glass enclosure I knew that I had to save him. The attendee hugged me and ask if I was sure, and without hesitation I said you betcha. This cat was 14 years old and I gave him the royal treatment. He was now able to have a new home where he could explore and then go outdoors to once again be free. He just passed away this April 8th, and he was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope I see him again one day when it's my time to move on.

C. S. Lewis suggests that the love of God that we have for & give to a beloved animal somehow “ennobles”
it & lifts it up from being simply a “beast of the field”. Why would there NOT be animals in Heaven?
(Jesus IS described as “riding a white horse”). Animals are part of our lives
( there MUST be Birdsong in Heaven…yeah? )
The Lord is good…true love is not limited & it doesn’t end.
It’s reasonable I think that we will indeed have our furry family with us in Heaven. If they aren’t there then I guess He will have to “wipe away our tears “ &
memories of them….🤔
NAH‼️. 😄
They’re gonna be there‼️🥳😁🙏🏻✝️
You will see him again @iamric23. He's waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge. 😊
Me too! 15 year old Snowy, with his cauliflower ear and ratty looks. "Lets go!" Snowy had a long letter with him. The owner was never home and Snowy was suffering from it. Well, what they didn't say was that Snowy dealt with his anxiety by constantly humping me. It was crazy. I had about 10 cats and 4 dogs at the time, and one day one of the cats was growling at a dog on the porch and snowy flew out there and came to her defense. He was crowned king of the house and began an new life of purpose, looking after his pride of cats. He never humped anymore, he was absolutely happy in his life and he made the rounds patroling his domain. One day I went out and he was laying in the driveway dead. He had just went for a sleep in the sun and crossed peacefully over. I know one thing, he had the best last year of his life he could have hoped for.
May all older dogs and so called unadoptable dogs have this luck. They are so special and wonderful.
YES!
100%
WELL IT ALWAYS TAKES THE RIGHT PERSON TO COME ALONG AND SHE WAS THANK GOD THE ONE I LOVE IT
Hello Karen
I did the same thing. I had my heart set on a puppy, until before walking out of the shelter I glanced to the last stall remaining until I went through the exit. I stopped dead in my tracks,.... I saw what looked to be ...a giant bear. The sign above said 4 year old Male American Bulldog Heart worm positive. He looked right into my eyes and he lit up immediately... I asked what his story was? They said he was really nice but really hyper.... I didn’t care, I knew no one else would take him and if I didn’t he would die. It’s been almost two years (he’s had treatment and was tested heart worm negative now,) he’s been by far the best dog I’ve ever had... and theee most lazy dog I’ve ever had in my life. He was only acting hyper because he was behind those bars. Now he’s content and happy. Best decision I’ve ever made in my life,
Bless you for seeing his value and choosing him instead of a shiny new puppy
I love that so much
What a beautiful story, and they are an incredible breed! ❤️
its so nice to know that there are so many good people out there
Some of these stories are making my heart sing. Thank you wonderful people ❤️ 💖 💕.
I personally believe that Leslie and people like her ARE exactly what humans were meant to be. Wow.
I'm 39 and I've been adopting senior dogs since 31. My childhood dog, Max, lived to 17 years. He was a senior longer than he was a young dog. I do what I do to honor him. Some of my adoptions made it a few years, some, only months. While it's emotionally crushing to lose a dog so frequently, I willingly carry that burden. If you could see what I've seen, how they go from scared or reclusive to owning a piece of your heart, you'd melt like me. The joy those dogs had at learning the simplest of things, where their bed is to where to find food and water, it made them so happy. All they want is to be somebody's dog. It's a gift anyone with love in their heart can give. Try it.
Respect to you. Thanks for your caring attitude.
@@truthseeker6116 thank you. I just lost my last senior about 4 months ago. For the first time since I was 13, I found myself without a dog. Just 3 and a half weeks ago, our family was able to open our hearts and home and we adopted a 6-7 year old Labrador/pit mix. He is so gentle and tolerant of the kids, loves to play and be pet. Within hours, he realized he had made it to his forever home. Each dog figures it out in their own way and it's so cool to see when they do.
My brother and his wife did this once and they ended up with a huge female German shepard who was nothing but pure sugar ,she lived with the family about 5 months and passed away in her sleep she was beautiful ,we miss you down here sunny girl :**(
Awww sobbing here. Wish she could have stayed longer. You'll all see her again one day.
She died a happy dog and that's what counts!
I know she loves you guys very much 😊
She died happy and knew what family and love was♡
I’m so sorry for your loss, I don’t know how it feels to lose a pet or a loved one, but I assure you she loves you and is always looking down on you to protect you! I’m so so sorry… I hope you will reunite in heaven.
At least in the end she was with people who loved her 😢❤️
Few years ago, I visited the cat shelter in SouthLake TX. Asked for the oldest, most overlooked cat and the most shy cat. "That would be Abby". Brought Abby home and nine days later, she came out from under the bed and said hi. She was in the shelter for 365 days.
My beautiful fur baby just turned up. Abandoned. He was a Queensland Blue Heeler. The most loyal and wonderful breed. So protective. The first time I tried to take him for a walk he was so upset he though he was going to abandoned again. He soon got used to his new home. He was my best friend for ten years and then someone poisoned him. Never recovered. Can't get another dog. Heartbroken.
Mary Everett omg I'm so sorry for your loss.... :-(
So sorry for your loss. Hope that miserable person gets what they deserve, a slow agonising end to their miserable life! At least your dog had 10 loving & happy years with you😘

Dear Mary. Your story so touched my heart. I’m sorry what happened to your wonderful companion. It hurts so much however they leave us.
I hope you find healing and peace whenever you think of your dear friend.
Prayers and love to you❤️
One morning I was outside in the rain and found a little puppy hiding under our RV. Five years later she's still with me. It's like she was a gift from God that morning. She's been with me through some really difficult times and had made my life so much better. I love her SO much.
Hello Daniel how are you doing today
I adopted an 8 year old dog from shelter. She was in a puppy mill all her life. She acted defeated when I met her...as soon as she got into my car she started bouncing all over with joy that she getting her forever home. I was able to give her 3 fabulous years of love and treats.
I walked in a shelter and asked for the most unadoptable dog. I adopted Marley and she was a “Lulu”. She turned out to be so sweet
Try asking to adopt the next 2 in the back room that are about to be killed cuz thier time is up
What a lovely lady, My late wife was just like her and since losing her 5 years ago and the two collies we had, I have adopted 2 Greek strays, ages unknown but approx middle age and the love they give me is incredible
Yes, Alan, "that" love IS incredible🐾💎..I know first-hand🐕😭 Your wife was a lovely lady also🥀
I'm sorry for your loss Alan. I'm glad you have love and comfort from your rescue puppers! 💓🌞
Thank you Alan for your heart of gold.Your wife is smiling in Heaven.
I'm so very sorry for your awful loss, mr Tatham ! Your wife was an angel here on earth, now she's an enormous ANGEL in heaven. I love you both ! From Holland with love 😢😢😢🐕🐾🐈🐾❤💐🤩😍😭🌷💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
❤️❤️❤️
This made me cry because I got a three legged dog and no one wanted him.
My dad used to have a neighbor who adopted a puppy, and the puppy ended up getting hit by a car and had one front leg amputated. Her name is Curiosity and she is the happiest dog ever. She used to run up to me when I'd go to dads for visits and wave her stump at me like she was saying hi
You got a champion ♡

Leslie you are a true Guardian Angel here on Earth. May Brutus and Sam live long happy lives.❤❤❤
We always adopt older senior dogs as they are the least favorable ones to adopt. We are down to two currently, Sophie (blind) and Holly ( currently losing her hearing) and couldn't love them more. Very happy for Leslie and her family that they adopted 2 special needs dogs. The love they give back to us is the best feeling ever!🐾
Thank u so much God bless people like u
U know I got to say there are no
Words in any language or actions that could ever come about to being close enough to let u know how wonderful u are thank you so much for your heart. Jesus must live in u God bless u so much better thank u

May I ask you? What do you do with them when their Spirits cross the Rainbow Bridge?
Thank you, you are amazing people ❤ all the best for your family
Senior dogs want to be loved too. And they'll love you back like you won't believe. Dogs' souls are the most beautiful thing on earth.
and you get the outrageous vet bills that go along with it.
Amen to that!!!
Amy Walker well most people who adopt dogs know what they’re gonna have to pay lmaooo
Absolutely! The doggo elderly need as much attention as the human elderly.
Cats too🐈🐺💒🐎
Our world would be better if there was more kind people like you!
Hello Linda
How are you doing?
Hello Linda
What's most important in life has nothing to do with how much you make, how nice a car you drive or how beautiful a home you live in. What really matters is how important you are in the lives of other living things. Leslie, you've done VERY well!! Bless you - Will and the Furry Ones
You said it all!!!
UK shelters like Dogs Trust, RSPCA, Cat Protection League, look exactly at those things and refuse us. We have taken on a beautiful Bengal, given to us for free, as company for our 2 year old Jack Russell. In front of us they are the best of enemies but when they think we're not looking they lick each other and share one of our beds.They're wonderful.
We adopted an 11 Year old Pug. His owners were moving abroad and had tried hard to find him a new home. Their efforts were in vain until we decided that he was old but not ill. He was grossly overweight. He’s now been with us for three months. He is back down to a reasonable weight, can walk up to nearly a mile and runs and gets excited again. He’s a happy wee old boy and we love him! ❤️❤️❤️
Can,t you take a pet Aboad.
All of my pets are rescues and special needs and they have brought nothing but fulfillment, love and pure joy to my family and me!!!
Ditto
Same. We have 6 cats: 2 are black (the hardest to adopt) and 4 have litter box issues, as well as 3 rescue dogs. We even have had: 1 blind hamster, 2 3-legged hamsters, and a 1 eyed hamster. My house stinks...but i dont care! lol
Same here. Never bought from a breeder. Too many shelters.
Same
Yes. Yes. Yes!
That dog hit the jackpot when she found this lady, well done to everyone,
Hello Kathleen
OMG, I just watched this video for the first time. I know it's an older video but new to me. Leslie, you are a woman with a big heart of gold. Thank goodness there's people like you around to be the 'Super Hero's for pets in need. I cried through this video with sadness which switched to happy tears. Thank you for being you!
I foster hospice senior dogs only, they end up passing with us even if they are with us for 6 months which is around average due to so much health issues. People ask why and if it’s hard, yes or course it’s hard but if I don’t do it and help those pups at least live their days out in peace then it’s all worth it. I never get over them but I do get a dog about a week later because if I don’t they will just get euthanized with no love and people surrounding them they don’t know. It’s the least I can do.
Thank you for loving them all xx I am pleased they experienced some goodness and didnt pass alone.
You are amazing!! Thank you so much for letting a senior live life comfortable and loved for their last days.🌷🌹🥀 More people should be like you!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank you for being a beautiful soul.
God bless you
U rock girl, that is the best thing that can happen to all of these dear sweet souls! They ALL DESERVE someone to hold them, caress their faces, and be told how much they r loved!!! God bless u for doing what u do for the babies!!!
I gotta admit, I’ve a real soft spot for old, abused & special needs rescue dogs so I can totally relate to this lady. I love seeing overlooked dogs finally get their forever home. There’s nothing as good as seeing the look in their eyes as they learn to trust again & know that they’re safe & loved. God bless this lady & everyone who helps animals in whatever way they can.
This is what I've always wanted to do once I grow up. I want to give the unwanted ones a chance, because no animal is undeserving of love. I feel horrible imagining all the dogs and cats that sit in shelters for years and watch people pass by and ignore them every day. In fact, I don't know how I'm going to stick to adopting only a couple pets.
I have dogs, cats, bunnies and box turtles. All rescues. Everyone gets along🥰I’m blessed with so much love, hugs and kisses.
me too. my Heart breaks for all the dogs and cats locked up in those cages. i pray for them.
I think you can do it! Definitely, for sure. Work towards to buying a cheap simple suitable place with a decent yard - it doesn't need to be flashy, as long as it's functional. I wish you every success ☘️ Good luck!
People does not know it is too much frecuent that dogs and cats have no oportunity of a good home and ignore how much this animals came from terrible sad stories suffering unfare mistreated and sometimes in extreme and no posible merciful people to adopted them when they are happy to be rescued and recieved food water and are protected from weather, this dogs are entuthiastic to live again but unfortunately usually in short space were they have to stay many times like prisión and to many dogs to attend correctly is not esasy, a house for them is necesary to recibe all kind of atenttion that can not be afford by protectors
Meanwhile go vegan. ll Animals deserve ot!
Leslie is an angel on earth..... what a special lady.... so happy to hear that the dogs are happy..... I’m sure Leslie is too!!❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
Hello Michelle how are you doing today
Hello Michelle
This is a very special lady to help give these wonderful fur babies a forever home. ♥️
I just knew it. There are still good and kind hearted people on Earth. Ms. Leslie, bless you for saving these 2 babies. Their health conditions and age didn’t deter this lady from doing the right thing. Dog lovers are amazing. The joy and happiness that our pets give us cannot be measured. They can be a tad devilish on occasion but we learn to forgive and forget those times. What a wonderful story of luck, happenstance and ultimately love.
Well said❣️Your doggy looks "up in years"(pic) I truly hope yall get many more years with🐾...yellow-lab/golden-retriever mix??
These are the stories that restore faith in humanity... When you want to adopt a dog, most people look for the young, healthy, cute dogs... The situation where someone wants to love the unloved - that's the jackpot for these dogs. They now can live relaxed for the rest of their life...
I adopted a 16 year old cat from my local shelter who was very overlooked. He is the sweetest and most loving friend. He's 18 now. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Bless all people who adopt senior pets. You have the heart of Mother Teresa 😘
Hilman Sadakir Older pets are overlooked because of xtra care but probably mostly because of xtra vet bills and high medical costs,,,,, poor people can do basics usually.... I have a hard time paying at least $150 a month just for 3 heart and alergy meds from my baby,,,, she is 14,,,,, so I can understand why,,,, It’s sad.
@@beverlybalius9303 bless you too.. I know adopting pets is serious commitment, especially the senior one. I adopt a senior Angoran cat from dumpster (that's why I hate mills, cos people who buy pets tend to treat them like toys, which can be dumped if they get bored or if their pets get old). Turns out, he's the sweetest cat that I've ever known (and that's make me wonder, why his previous owner dumped him).

Hello Tina
I always tell my mom when my older dog ends up passing away, that we go to a shelter and adopt a dog so we can give them a second chance at life.
Are you looking for a pat on the head?
Beautiful thinking 🙌👏💓
She’s a dog lover, nothing more to say except thank you.❤❤❤As adoptive parents we never know a dog’s whole story; all we can do is offer love and a good life. That love is returned hundredfold by these amazing animals.
I have lived in Asheville for 20 years and Lesie epitomizes the love, hope, humanity, and spirit of our town!
I’ve heard of people doing this for a wide variety of pets. They do it so the animals can live their remaining time in happy and loving homes. I find that so sweet and admirable
When Iv just about given up on people , I find this story, my faith is restored !!!! Lesley is a real Saint !!!!
What Lesley did is very hard warming and commendable. If anything ever happens to my Husky or my Sproker I would do exactly what Lesley did. I'm so glad that there are other people that think the way I do. Thank you Lesley you have a heart of gold.
Hello Monika how are you doing today
My daughter has a big heart when it comes to the dog elderly. Over the years, she has adopted these dogs. Bringing them home to have medical care, but most of all love. It's amazing to watch the changes in these animals, even to them getting better within their conditions. We have 9 dogs, and among them are 3 seniors. Just recently, one of our gentleman's have gone to walk the Rainbow Bridge. He will be missed but we have the memories of this incredible dog!
Hello Sandra
I told my husband the next time we get a dog I want to do this! I can’t wait! Fur babies need love no matter what age!💕
What are you waiting for?
What a wonderful woman. Thankfully Leslie came along. ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s such a blessing to have people like this around. My family just adopted a 4 year old Rottweiler who is the sweetest girl! She was in the shelter extremely underweight with fleas, ticks, & is heartworm positive. She was passed by so many people because she had issues already. However, she is going for treatment this week for her heartworms but her horrible condition broke my heart & we adopted her. She didn’t know how to eat a bone or play with toys & is terrified of thunder & loud noises. She now has no more fleas or ticks & is eating wonderfully though & hope her HW treatment goes well for her. It’s always amazing to rescue the ones who just need a loving soul to take care of them. ❤️
As a kid I always wanted a puppy. At the age of 10 I changed my mind and wanted
to adopt. I'm 14 now and after watching this video I would love to
do the same thing leslie does when I live on my own :)
Really are sure you are going to do it......I really enjoy watching this channel, hello 👋 how are you doing I hope you are having a wonderful day.
God bless you!!🙏🏼🙏🏼👍😁
What a sweetheart you are!
This woman is so special. I hope Leslie, Sam, and Brutus have long, loving lives. God bless.
Adopted a 9 year old dachshund that had been to several shelters. No one would take him. 6 years later, blind, mostly deaf he is still our best boy!
In these crazy times it's so good for our hearts to witness these great compassions people are displaying.Leslie ,what a wonderful channel you are for Divine compassion.
Hello Kim how are you doing today
From the beginning I was just like: GET THEM BOTH! GET THEM BOTH!🐶🐶
Same!
lol...so was I :) glad she did get them both :)
My Wife and I know just how she feels. We have adopted 16 cats from age 10 yes to 5 months and to dogs 15 and 4 yrs old. They are a lot of work but the love they give. It's so very awarding.

What a beautiful story, God bless this woman and her family, their generous hearts and their love will be so meaningful to these dogs who have led difficult lives. I've always told my family that if we hit the lottery, I'd adopt as many dogs as possible who are in need of a loving home.
If u win the lottery u hire a competent vet hosp. mgr. to help u design, build & get operating an easy to get to, central, non-profit animal hospital & pet food bank (with everything donated, with cash $ donated for rent if req'd (or u put rest of yr winnings in good investments, get a financial advisor, use interest earnings etc to cover fixed expenses) + utilities, & salaried basic hosp. staff on site (but vets donate their time, 1/2 day every month or 2), with a ready ambulance, driver & at least a vet student in tow, to pick up injured animals as needed. Then poor ppl can enjoy pets too, & then pets they already have, a lot rescued, won't suffer when ill, or bec of age, bec owners just cannot afford vet bills. (e.g., I just had to hv my cat put down & got his ashes back = almost $700 CAN.) Hopefully a lot more animals will be adopted out of shelters & from the streets then, with a non-profit animal hosp avail. That's MY dream. Just wish I could afford more lotto tickets!!
SHE IS IN A HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS, BLESS HER HEART. OUR CREATOR IS WATCHING.
THANK YOU.
Every dog deserves a home. Thank you for doing this.
What a beautiful story...i lost my 16yo chiuhauha the last dog i had that was linked to my father who passed 7 years ago. Chanel would wait for him on the days of my dads treatment at the hospital. She knew every Tues, Thursday, and Sat at 6pm he would return and listened for wheeltrans to drop him off. She would set herself up on the arm rest of his recliner and gaze out the window for him. She did this for about two years after my dad has passed because she was so devoted to my dad. So when she had passed our family felt the loss of my dad again and this time harder because we also lost Chanel our last pet connected to my dad...her being there gave us comfort. So in her honour i decided to adopt for the very first time because i knew there are older dogs out there that needed a forever home. I found a 3yo stray that had a rough story from Atlanta Georgia with tears in his ears and with severe bow legs. I instantly fell in love. I am from Toronto Canada and we drove quite a while to pick up this tiny dog across the border. He has been with us now for 3 years and he is now 6 yo. He is a blessing in our lives and i think moving forward i will always adopt because you can teach an old dog new tricks. They will love you back as much as if you had raised that dog from a pup. Please please everyone think of adoption and help these shelters that are way too crowded. Help save a life and adopt.😻👍❤💙💚💛💜
We Foster - and foster failed. We have 8 now at home. 4 adopted and 4 fosters. And every one - who has lived with us - knows they will never be alone. Until the second they pass - I am with them. I am sad for the loss, but that is tempered by the group we now have. It is the most rewarding life! I hope you follow our lead!
My sister did this. She went and asked for the cat that was there for the longest, and everyone was shocked. She ended up with a 7 year old, ex feral cat, who was extremely scared. She was there for over 430 days. She got her over 2 months ago, and still hides under the bed. A month after adopting her, she went back and got a 13 year old senior, who had rotting teeth, oozing skin on his hips, and arthritis. He was there for year. He was a living in a massive colony for most of his life, and is a great great great grandfather. This could be his very first home. Both cats are still hiding under the bed together.
❤ your sister is an angel.
God bless animals and the people who help them

This world needs more people like this amazing lady 💙
God bless her! I wish their were more like her
My wife and I were in the animal adoption business for decades. It was rare, but there were people who made the same request. The oldest, with medical issues, and usually some physical defect (missing eye, ears, limbs, etc.).
I was going to say that as well, so true.
I agree so much!
@@itscloveryt4691 It is a good thing!
Don’t worry there is
I work at a shelter and I know that when people like her come in and give an older dog a forever home it is the best thing. We love watching any dog or cat find a home but our older dogs who stay the longest are the ones we pray find people like her. I personally can say out of all the dogs i've owned my rescues old and young were the best dogs i've ever owned.
My little dog Cricket was 13 and had been lost and sent to the pound in Riverside Ca., she made her way up the coast through a dog rescue and found her way to me in Port Angeles Wa. What a journey for a 7 lb girl. She's now 16 and totally rules the roost.
OMG!! Leslie is soo sweet!! When my dog passed away, my parents took us to the shelter and we got two dogs out of five! They were all so adorable and amazing to our family while we were playing with them! I made sure befor we left that all of them would find homes! After 2 weeks my mom told me the shelter workers said that all of the puppies had found a home!!!🥰🥰🥰
Leslie, you have a heart of gold. Thank you for adopting Brutus and Sam and giving them a forever loving home. God bless you.
God bless all people who adopt those special elderly animals....
Aw thank God for people who help and love animals unconditionally
Hello Lauren

Whoever puts a thumbs down just simply has no compassion for older and /or special needs dogs. EVERYONE, be a human or animal DESERVES a second chance!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to BOTH the shelter AND YOU for doing this kind AND compassionate thing. YOU WILL ALL BE BLESSED 10 FOLD!
Whoever puts a thumbs down, have no heart !!! And you can't forget heaven too !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Hello Theresa
There needs to be more people like this in the world. My aunt & uncle drive all over Texas, Oklahoma, & Arkansas rescuing dogs, & finding them forever homes. Dogs are mans best friend, & deserve to be treated as such. God bless people with hearts of gold.
She is such a kind person for adopting 50 dogs and special need dogs god bless her and all the dogs she adopted!
Hello Jennifer
So happy that San Francisco has an amazing shelter named Muttville that only takes in senior dogs (and a majority have special needs). They take in dogs from the other shelters in the area to make sure seniors (7 and up) have the special needs and attention they need. Other states should do the same!
We have loved all the seniors and hospice dogs we’ve cared for through them. ♥️
god bless this woman❤️❤️ She has a heart of gold
"God Bless " is always capital letter .
I would adopt her!!!
People like Leslie are what gives me hope for the future. May God bless her for having such a caring soul.
About 6 years ago, I went my my local shelter and asked for the biggest and blackest cat they have. It's been 6 wonderful years with Boo! He is an amazing soul.
Hello Michael
Ms. Leslie is the best. THANKS Leslie for all you to for our animals. They need you. 🙏💖💥🌼
God Bless this wonderful lady! Sam & Brutus are beautiful. It's a horrible thought to know you'll die just because your old or have health issues! Mine are always from a shelter. Shout out to Asheville! Wooo hooo!
I want to do something like this when I’m out of college. This woman is an angel😇
Yes, there is a big need for more people like her, for sure.
Hannah Bee You will surely save one life. You are an angel too just for considering to adopt an older dog with medical issue and surrendered .
God bless Leslie. This video makes my heart so happy.
Leslie Sacks// Thank you , There's a Special place in Heaven for people like yourself You are an Angel on Earth. A Dog's Love is so Pure.
God will bless this nice lady for her loving heart.
My old pit is 13. He has incontinence and is partially blind and deaf. But, I take csre of him. He was loyal to me all those years.
No dry eyes here! My boy is 14 now and im dreading the day he leaves me. Older dogs need love too and my hat is off to anyone who steps up and takes care of these sweeties! You won't regret it
My pit will be 14 in November. He's fully deaf now. I dread the day. His legs are having issues. Love him so much.
You never know, he might live until 18! The one in my profile did, and my best friend lived until he was 16. 💙
I'm literally crying as well I rescued my Aussie from a farm and his personality is so amazing 😌 he has panic attacks from time to time and has to sleep with me.... I don't know what I'd do without him
Same they connect deep under words mine loved me back into life as much if not more than I did him x
@@christinaashworth5363 yes!! And they know that you saved them and feels like that they would die for you
What the World needs is love. This wonderful woman is spreading love❤️
Leslie certainly has a big heart. I wish them all a happy, wonderful life together.
God Bless the Dog & the Rescuers & the Shelter Personnel Keep You All In Prayers Amen
God bless you Leslie 👼🏼 Brutus and Sam are gorgeous, Two little Angels 🖤🐕🐕🖤 God bless all the shelters and staff, they are all Angels 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello Elena
My baby girl came from the shelter.... there was a lot said about her being aggressive and reserved.... she's one of the sweetest happiest little dogs I've met. She was 5 when adopted and I'm super excited for her to have the raise of her life to be happy.
Leslie, you have my respect. May GOD give you all, strength, means for your kind work, happiness you all bring to the dogs and reward you and your family.
From a muslimah
What wonderful people there are in this sin-filled world. May God Bless each and every one of you who have taken in these sweet old darlings with nowhere to go and loved thrm without hesitation.
I have a feral, 5 years now, who is my boss, but she adores me and I her. I would have more but being 85 is a little old to start adopting. Besides, Queenie would be jealous.
God Bless Everyone
Greetings from beautiful Tennessee.
Beautifully written
Amen
Hope there are more people like her and less cruel people who abused and neglect dogs..Bless you and bless those people who continue their advocacy helping animals.
God bless all of you dog parents that have done a special thing for your dogs whatever the age or condition ! Just loving these animals will get you into heaven one day!
Leslie you are a true angel! God bless you and your family!
