- It's been two years since we lost Scooter, the world's most #famous #motorcycle #dog but I knew that giving our son the gift of raising a puppy of his own was just the right thing to do.

You are an awesome person Adam!!! The no kill dog shelter is a great idea...What about incorporating veterans into it as well and training some of these dogs to be service dogs for struggling Veterans...I think you could do some awesome things there!!!
I love that idea!
I agree 100%
That's exactly what I was thinking as well - dogs can be extremely therapeutic for veterans as well as anyone suffering from PTSD. I absolutely LOVE the idea Adam and my wife and I rescued our very first dog earlier this year and it has been an absolutely blessing to not only us but our families as well! My father-in-law (who was also a Navy veteran) was sick with stage 4 cancer and passed away several days after Christmas last year and this past year has been really tough on my mother-in-law because of that. Ironically, we never planned at that time to adopt and rescue a dog but it quite literally fell in our lap unexpectedly and we immediately fell in love with him (his name is Harley) - a beautiful golden retriever and german shepherd mix! My mother-in-law had always had smaller dogs and was initially scared of him being a 50-60 pound dog but also fell in love with him and says all the time that Harley saved her life after the passing of her husband!
I think it's an absolutely awesome and noble thing to consider and do - to open up a no kill dog shelter and several of our dogs growing up as a kid were strays from the animal shelter where my Mom worked as a veterinarian technician for 19 years! Please keep us posted and updated on the progress of your new bundle of joy and congratulations and a very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and your family! Thank you sincerely for all that you do brother! 🏍❤🏍
100 percent! Adam it's a no Brainer! Brother I truly believe you are doing God's work! Think about it ,helping vets, helping abandoned dogs, helping them help each other! Coincidence? I think not! Timing is everything! You're at a point where I believe it just fits! With you connections and community, funding won't be an issue! I am sure of it! God Bless you and your family in all you do!
Totally agree 💯
I was part of a motorcycle club that raised money that would rescue dogs and train them to be service dogs for veterans with ptsd. Starting a shelter to raise and train rescue dogs for veterans might be your calling. You save a dog and a veteran at the same time. God bless brother.
New dogs never replace the ones we’ve lost. They add to the love we already have.
Good morning Adam, Ron and Stacy here. We think your fund raising capabilities could help both your causes. Do a convoy fund raising for a shelter for dogs and match them with veterans and possibly have the shelter ran by veterans taking in dogs and training them to be useful companions. Everyone who has ever had THAT dog in their life KNOWS Nothing is better than the love of a dog. 👍
Emotional support dogs for veterans. About my suggestion to Adam. Hope this comes about.
I LOVE SCOOTER 🛵 A GREAT FRIEND TO ME ♥️💜💚
We need more no kill shelters. From my years in animal welfare, it’s hard on your heart but very rewarding. ❤
I have followed you since Scooter. Met ya’ll in Tuscan Az several years ago. I have a lil old girl who looks a lot like Scooter.
You are an amazing human and it seems you have married someone just like you! You follow that dream, rescue dogs! Do it!
It is true rescue dogs rescue people!
💙🐾
I think you should open the shelter, what a beautiful way to honor scooter!
Brother, the toughest day for dog owners is when it's time to say goodbye, something we had to do about a year and a half ago with our last rescue. "This'll be the last one for sure," were our famous last words. Now we're about to take the plunge again with a one-year-old foster pup our friends have been caring for. You want to save 'em all, but just having a platform is a great blessing to remind people that these wonderful animals are waiting. Life's too short to be without a dog.
Life’s short, but the damn motorcycle and adopt the damn dog 💯🤣
Happy to see you were able to get a new friend for you and your family. Scooter was the man. As far as a no kill shelter if anyone can do it you can because you are a stubborn American!!
Opening a dog shelter isn’t a thought for you Adam, it rather lives in your heart. Like you, I would rescue every dog if I could. Maybe pairing a no kill shelter with free adoptions for our veterans would combine both your passions? Just a thought. All the best with your new family member, may the love you all share grow every day!!!
That hole never goes away😔 Just love more of them❤️😎🇺🇸 ❤️❤️❤️Pups! To me all dogs are pups 😉
Brother I sent you an email but I don’t know if you’ll get it! It’s a pic of what my wife got me for Christmas. It’s a 3D pic of my Izzy that went across the Rainbow Bridge in 2022.
Family is always number one
You are a special person Adam! There’s a special place in heaven for you, my friend!
DonL
Semper Fi
Such kind words 🙏🏼
I know your pain when i had to do the same with my pup after 11yrs with him. It took yrs to want another.
We rescued one for our family a few yrs ago. When we see these pups needing a place, it breaks my heart. I think of if i could afford land like you have, i would open up a few acres for a rescue. Give em a bigger dog run to live in until they are adopted. Those cages look like a prison.
Good on you brother for looking above yourself and getting one for your boy!
Yes!! You absolutely need to do this!!!😊
So happy for your family 🥰. Heartbreaking to see all the dogs in that kennel. Hope someone picks up the dog you sponsored 🤞🏼
Adam is love the idea of a shelter. I know there are a lot of veterans that would love a dog but are worried about training as they may not have all the time to train them but really need a companion. What you could do is create that shelter and have a place where people learn to train dogs and veterans and really anyone could come and adopt a dog. People would come to your events and could be close enough to love on them and adopt them through the year with your events. I think what you do for our veterans is amazing. Keep up the good work! I served with Matt Allen your old crew member and ive followed you for a long time. My wife and i bought the damn bike!
Thank you for my freedom brother 🇺🇸
So happy for you and your Family! Yes open a dog shelter!
A man who loves a dog has a huge heart. Glad to see you save one of Gods awesome little critters. We have rescued 4 dogs over 30 years together and its been nothing but blessings.
My daughter volunteered at a dog/cat shelter. She sent me pics all the time asking me to adopt. I would have a zoo if I took them all in. I've got two and it's been wonderful!
Awe such a sweet puppy!
Glad you got a new pup for the family. I also waited two years after my last dog passed away and got a new one. He's the best. They just show us pure love and boy, does the world ever need love.
Good on ya for choosing a rescue . My wife has been running a small dog rescue for over 12 yrs. The stories of most every dog rescued breaks my heart every time. Best of luck to you and your family with your new pup.
I hear you very well.
Dogs are one of the most loving gifts God created for us.
It’s just sad that they are with us for such a short time.
Enjoy your sweet puppy❣️
Sure lots of veterans would love to help with your shelter, getting vets and dogs together is one of the best ways towards happiness and healing.
From homeless biker dog to stable family dog, I think it’s cool that Scooter got to see the culmination of all of his “hard work”.
The addition of the new pup is definitely long overdue even if it was a difficult decision.
I have no doubt Adam, you would be a great shelter ?person?. You have the experience, the space AND you easily have the public eye available to you. Either in person or thru RUclips. I could be wrong but I think bikers are more open to adopting, a dog rather than buying purebred dogs.
I know how hard this is for you Adam. But you love your boy and Ashley and want them to have a family dog. The shelter is a wonderful idea and you could dedicate it in Scooter's memory.
Man, kind of hard to watch all those poor sweet dogs in the shelter. But, good for you Adam for adopting a dog for the family!!!! I hope you can open up a shelter. That would be awesome!
HELL YEAH. We need more no kill shelters
First off, THANK YOU for rescuing that precious fur baby !!!!!! Scooter will ALWAYS be in your, Ashley and Millions of us Hearts & Minds, He will NEVER be forgotten, But I know scooter is proud of you for Adopting that precious one !!! You will teach the same amazing ways you taught Scooter and WILL find many, many,Many years of Enjoyment , love,laughter and fun times with your new Family Member as you did with our scooter !!! BIG HUGS TO ALL OF YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW FAMILY MEMBER !!!!!!!
This was the greatest and the toughest video to watch at the same time we have rescued a lot of dogs and would love to save them all, if you plan to start a rescue maybe start members only site to help out with funds and spread the word
Congratulations on the new pup!!! And I think the no kill shelter is a great idea! Shelter dogs, veterans, training, adoptions….
K-River K-9’s!!!! 🐾 🇺🇸
Blessings to you and looking forward to staying at your new campground someday.
Happy New Year 👊🏼
Bless your ❤
Congratulations on your new puppy
Thank you! 👊🏼
I'm happy to see your family adopting a dog. Every kid needs to grow up with responsibility and love a dog brings.
And you should get another one (maybe an adult) for you.
I have for , all of my life had pups,years gone for the throw away seniors.. I used to take pups... Not able to now, and I miss that, although now my barn cats sleep with me at night..
I've followed you now, for a couple years, this brought a tear to my eye! A dog, is one of the most loyal friends, anyone could ever have!
Thanks for being part of the channel 👊🏼
This is so heart breaking to see all those unwanted dogs. 😪
Wow….this one had me choked up brother, as I too have a real heart for these dogs. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve rescued dogs wandering around the neighborhood, that got away, found their owner, dogs weren’t on leashes, ignored leash laws, the kids left the door open, the landscaper forgot to close the gate to the backyard, or because the owners thought their dog was too well trained or too old to get away. Even bought a collar, name tag and a retractable leash for one owner who claimed they couldn’t afford as much. It guts me and maybe because as a little kid back in the day, I witnessed two of my own dogs hit by cars, and irresponsible dog owners today really rubs me the wrong way. These dogs depend on us keeping them safe and well cared for, in return they love us unconditionally. You’re better than me going in those facilities to find a dog(I do love that direction, bro). My problem is I’d want to bring every single dog home with me; leave no dog behind. I think there are real opportunities to do a rescue for dogs, to provide great households, to matching families, the elderly, and our Veterans. ❤🙏🇺🇸
Your family is always the number one priority.
I’m proud of you my friend. You are a good man to love your son like you do. Can’t wait for some adventures.
Adam, I worked in a shelter for 5 years after I retired from the Army. It hands down was one of the hardest jobs I have ever done.... the emotional strain was enormous. I can't even bring myself to walk back into a shelter...... Thanks as always for sharing
Thank you for my freedom brother 🇺🇸
Adam, my heart ❤️ is broken. I wish I could save a dog. I have Old Man. I got him at your Stubborn American Rally. Your videographer got him by a dumpster. Her whole family went biker to biker looking for someone to take him. I took my truck so it was easy to take him. Old Man is my best friend. Him and I go everywhere. He used to run away now he is always next to me when we go out. I live in Weslaco, TX, I go to the Stubborn American Rally as much as I can because I'm still in the Army and they have control of my life. FYI, you got the right dog for your son.
I love that you still have him 🐾 cherish every moment. Hope to see you at Stubborn American this year - you know it’s been changed to 6/20-6/23, right ⁉️
@@adamsandoval We will be there. We had a lot of fun last time we were there.
I'm Happy for you all congratulations on the puppy . Great video Adam Hi Ashley & family at K River
Bless oh bless your wonderful heart sir Adam.
What’s up brother 👊🏼😎
Let's do a ride/rally to raise money for shelters everywhere. That little puppers is so sweet and happy. Congrats to you and your family.
Congratulations to your new family addition. Cutie pa tootie.
If you can get the help I would say, go for it! If I didn't have my roots deep here in Southern Illinois. I would definitely pull up and move to Moyers to help. I know Murphy my chihuahua/terrier mix is my heart and soul and when you talk about Scooter being your buddy, I can relate. Murphy is 8 years old, and I have had him since he was 9 weeks old. ... Stay strong, nothing like the love of a dog!!
Cherish every moment with Murphy 🐾
Starting a dog rescue is the best thing I’ve ever heard you say!
I’m so happy for Brady,Ashley and yourself to have a family dog…what a lucky puppy to end up in your home ❤
Would be wonderful to have veterans running the "no kill" shelter and training service dogs for veterans. Win Win. Congratulations on your new puppy. Please keep us updated on the sweet female that you rescued. She deserves a good home. They all do. Many blessings to you and your family. Happy New Year!
I think god has blessed you with your campgrounds, I think it would be great if it could happen with the dog shelter/rescue.
I am 3mos. behind 4/29/24.
Brother Adam: Hearing you at the end of this ask,"Should I start a shelter? Y'all let me know in the comments below." immediately reminded me of when you sat in the chair at the old house (Scooter had just started exhibiting signs to you that something wasn't right/good with him). You had been toiling with whether or not to get the campground for some time. You had already asked the same question you're asking now and very much in the same words. Just substitute "Campground" for "Shelter" and here you are sitting down yet again in a chair when you ask it.
We all know what the answer and outcome of the 1st. question is and how incredibly blessed you are because, of it. I'm by no means saying you got there without lots of sacrifices and hard work. That's proven itself out and continues to this day.
I just thought I'd bring up the incredible similarities in these two. You're a good man Adam Sandoval.
Thanks for sticking around all these years. I’ve definitely bounced ideas off all y’all for years now 🤣
Awesome story, and what it's worth brother, your priority is spot on IMO. Congrats on the family dog, that's wonderful!
I totally get it. It’s a hard decision to make. I lost my best friend about 3 years ago and it was super hard to get a new one.
Heartwarming story all around. Your generosity is boundless. Both dogs are lucky, the one you adopted and the one you've sponsored. Great respect to you, a Family Man. Have fun with the new pooch
Do it! They need you.
I'm a big guy, worked in a very... let's just say tense career and I couldn't watch all this, it just hurts my heart to see those poor babies in cages. Both of my Pitties are rescues and I'm grateful I found them every day. Either puppy or adult dog you did the right thing rescuing and filled both that puppy and Brady's heart with love. Like most people we walk into one of those places and we want to save all the babies big and small.
I had tears in my eyes for 11 minutes.
I'm sure that was truly a bittersweet day for you Adam, I'm so happy you found the right time to rescue a new pup.. & A Big Yes ! On opening your own shelter or sponsoring one with your signature stamp.
Wishing you many blessings with your new fur baby ! 🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸
Always doing for others. Veterans, fellow riders, dogs. You are just the most selfless person I think I've ever met. Keep up the great work. May your life be truly blessed.
Such kind words 🙏🏼 thank you
What a great dad and family guy!!! I also can't wait for you to get your own little riding buddy again in the future. You provide them a great life! I don't think you should open a dog shelter. I'm not sure how good it would feel because, at some point, you'll have to make daily tough calls on turning dogs away. I give folks in rescues and vets lots of credit for the heartache they have to deal with on the daily.
Hey Adam I met you and Ashlie at Mobile Bay Harley-Davidson a few years ago when you still had your bus. I walked in and shook hands and said " Where's scooter, on the bus?' You turned around and he was in your backpack. I thought that was so cool. It was a pleasure meeting you both.
he sure did love his backpack 💯
Congratulations to you and your family on the new addition. Opening a shelter is a great idea plus another great idea is getting dogs trained as service dogs for us veterans would be a huge bonus. God bless you for what you do for us veterans
YYYEESSSS!!!! So happy for the new dog! Congratulations
Man you’re good at so many things including making grown men cry! ( I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one) 😁. I’m glad you got your son a puppy!
My allergies were acting up a lot too 🤣
Howdy! So glad I found your channel today. Liked, Sub'd, & will follow with Comments & Shares.👍❤
Thanks for your generous support and love for our U.S. vets and k9 pets. It is beautiful & inspiring. There's some binge watching I'll get started on now. 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🐾
Thanks for tuning in 👊🏼 I appreciate the sub, too! Lots of great content coming your way
You're good man Adam.
Thank you 🙏🏼 all I do is follow my heart
My wife and I have discussed starting an animal rescue, and work with obedience trainers to prepare each dog for a home. Good luck, Adam. I hope you do it. I know you'll think of a creative way to fund it. You can also do poker runs with adoption events.
God bless you all Sandovals! And YES open a dog shelter!
I truly understand the loss of your best friend. And the memories you shared but now onto the next chapter he’s looking down with a smile knowing your happy with your family best of luck On to new adventures
Great to hear Adam! Always adopt, don't shop!!!
Congrats on the new addition! Whoohoo! That is awesome. I love what TheNightOwl74 said about incorporating veterans. Either way, we look forward to your decision on a "training camp/rescue camp" and updated videos on your son and his adventure with puppy training to dog hood.
It’s just a mission that speaks to my heart but we will see what happens 🤷🏼♂️
I just put my boy down a week ago and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. He helped me more than anyone can know. Bless you and your family
I’m so sorry to hear that 🙏🏼 RIP
Dogs are the best!!! They use dogs in hospitals to help patients. Good job adam!!!
Your good people. I miss my dog every day, wish i could have one, i will one day again.
The shelter might even serve as a secondary purpose to helping vets with ptsd. A dog can break through many boundaries of human depression.
That’s the truth!
I was sitting here crying happy tears for you and your beautiful family. Everything you do is so incredibly selfless and inspiring. The world needs more like you. If you feel it in your heart to open a shelter I say yes do it! You have an army of supporters behind you! Sandstorm Sandoval rollin through, you got this!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼 I just try to follow my heart
Scooter had one hell of a run. Because of YOU brother! He lived a long super full life. I believe animals have souls and are sentient self aware beings (just pay attention to their facial expressions). Therefore, scooter is in the spirit world but still with you ( I believe this because I lost a pet and every once in a blue moon, I feel them walking across the bed when I'm laying in bed, still fully awake). Scooter is with you still. He is still riding with you, and enjoying the cush life of the new home. You are blessed, Adam Sandoval, and you deserve to be so!
Scooter enriched my life so much and touched the lives of so many others 💯
You could also proritize getting dogs to disabled veterans or veterans with ptsd. You could work it into all the fund raising you do !
Love it Adam you know when the time is right nothing better than a rescue who needs a home wishing you guys the best of luck with your new addition happy new year my friend :)
Oh HAPPY Day!!!!! HAPPY New Year guys. Joy in the house 👍😎👍
Happy New Year!
Loved this video.
Thanks! 👊🏼
Adam… do it! You have the heart for it and the training and you will find the resources. God has put this in your heart and your family’s heart and he won’t let you fail. It might be the joy of your life to give those dogs on the edge the chance to have life. Do it man! Proud of you.
I know your pain all too well Adam. My best buddy Sam, a little shipoo. Passed 4 years ago at the age of 15 1/2 years. We had him from 10 weeks old. The pain of loss was immense. It took me 3+ years to get another buddy. My wife wanted another dog so badly. So, I said, I have to do this for her. Well, we now have Bodie, a Cavapoo. We got him at 7 weeks old. He’s now 1 year old and celebrated his first Christmas. What people don’t get is a dog is truly pure unconditional love. They want nothing but your love and attention. I’m very happy but Bodie fills that hole in my heart. Congrats Adam and family on your new member to the family.
I hope your first Christmas with your new pup was magical 💯
Can't tell you how hard it was to watch this video. Lost my Best Furbaby 3 years ago. Even though I have 2 other dogs he was My Boy. Good for you and your family! Thank you for what you do!
Sorry to hear that 👊🏼
You deserve nothing but the best... congrats to you and your family! 🎉🎉
🙏🏼 I appreciate that
I would have taken all the dogs home with me as well!! So excited for your family and Brady to have his puppy!! She is one lucky puppy!!
There will always be a dog in my life. But they just don't live long enough!
Adam, I just started a bully sanctuary in Shiner Texas. Our mission is to rehabilitate bully breeds and rehome with veterans. We will partner the right dog with right human and really make a difference in both the dogs and the humans life.
I absolutely love that!
C'mon Adam, where was the Public Health Warning..... THIS VIDEO WILL BREAK YOUR HEART!
Seriously, well done for rescuing the Pup. Also good idea for a shelter, but even better would be to give a Veteran a companion.
Any human with an ounce of compassion would have to admit it feels like your heart is getting ripped out of your chest when walking a shelter. How do you choose just one? It is easy to be overcome with guilt when realizing all the animals you're leaving behind. You have to completely focus on the one you chose, the one you're rescuing. That's how I feel about it.
Good on ya for getting Brady a pup! It will be fun to see him acclimate to the campground. He's a fortunate pup and has no idea of the life that will come his way.
You are absolutely the best choice there is for a Dog Shelter!! Do it!!! Congratulations on the new puppy!!!😊🐕❤️
Awesome
❤❤❤ amazing. I had no idea how fluent you are in canine training. I sadly had to retire from my love of frisbee, agility, obedience and more because of an unexpected and unknown serious allergy to dogs ❤❤❤now we know why Scooter was so well mannered.
I traveled America by motorcycle during summers while teaching. Every time someone found out I was raised in Oregon, they all wanted to know about the ocean? So I want to do very same as you but here in Washington State so all can visit, feel,smell an know for first time the feel of the ocean!
Brother, I feel your pain. I had to put down several of my pets and it wasn't fun. But you have to do what is best for our little friends. That's great that you got another puppy. I remembered when I started following your videos how cool it was to have Scooter with you everywhere you traveled. I cried with you when you had to put him down. Having a puppy and raising it is the best thing ever. Good luck and just love it!!
I’m sorry for your losses 🙏🏼putting down a pet is horrible
