I’m so glad you said that. It’s obvious he loves these animals, his children, so hard, so fully. (Love that he has kitties too). With the depth of that love comes the flip side of excruciating grief which he has shared just as openly. That takes a toll. You are absolutely right he has no real obligation to those who support him, just to take care of himself and his pack. .
I understand all the emotions.. These animals, their wellbeing, happiness, their lives etc /means so much to you, because you love them so much. I also get very emotional about my pets. They are so wonderful, so loyal and yes not easy to lose something or someone you love. God bless.
I had two rescues,both chihuahuas, one, Cookie, a senior rescue from a puppy mill was blind in one eye, two teeth and never house trained, but we got a routine that helped her limit her accidents. Her brother Choobie was showing her the way. Initially she would get car sick, which was difficult because I was used to traveling with my dog. She eventually got over it. Two years later I was gearing up to move from BC back to Ontario, a 7 day road trip. About a week before departure Cookie quit drinking and eating and was having bloody stools. The vet advised her kidneys were failing and she would likely not survive the trip. Such a hard decision, to let her go. Choobie and I were with her, she died surrounded by love and I was devastated. I scattered her ashes on the beach of the Pacific Ocean. She was a west coast dog. Losing her and leaving her behind almost broke me, so I know how a loss can change your focus.
Lee, you turned your passion into a mission and your pain into love. You inspired me to adopt my adored senior rescue dog here in Europe. He had heartworms and would have died in the shelter. What else can I say? You are a good person. Thank you.
So sorry!! It is never easy to say Good Bye, especially when they are broken in the INSIDE with a chronic illness but still look good on the OUTSIDE! I just said goodbye to my BLUE...the best cat ever to me!
First channel I have ever watched were I automatically wanted to donate and stand behind his cause. Thank you for helping these sweet souls. You are truly an inspiration.
Listening to you talk about Stella made me cry. We experienced a similar situation with our dog, Digger, whom we had for nearly 11 years. He was fine that Sunday morning when he got up. By 6pm that night, he was basically paralyzed-couldn't move. We took him to the emergency vet that night and felt encouraged he would be better in a few days. The next morning he was worse. Took him to our vet the next morning and had to make the difficult choice of letting him go. We felt like we couldn't breathe-literally! My husband I have cried SO much these past 4 mos. But, we did get another dog (Hank) 3 1/2 weeks later that we both absolutely love. He has helped heal our hearts, but we still miss Digger every single day. Losing him was harder than losing any human we have ever known. I wish dogs lived as long as humans! It's great what you're doing! Love the videos!
I feel like out of the pain of Stella’s passing, the sanctuary was birthed. Even within loss, we can find new meaning in life. Stella’s love and strength live on in the sanctuary.
That’s such a wonderful thing to say and I know he’ll appreciate those words ❤️because I appreciate what you said my broken heart 💔 really needed to hear those powerful words ❤️thank you for them
I lost my mum and dad last year, within 3 days of each other, to covid. To say I was devastated and heartbroken is understatement. I think I would have given up myself if not for my senior rescue - she is my life, my love, my everything. Okay I'll not get as long with her as having taken a puppy but she is just plain wonderful. What you do is fantastic and shows what a good person you truly are!! Much love from Ireland 💚 and from miss molly
That happened to me a few years ago,in Oregon.I had finally left a toxic relationship , living in my Jeep with two Huskies.And our first night of freedom on the Oregon coast my shikota just died .Me and Yukon were so lost.And then covid hit and I lost Yukon too.The pain never goes away.I since adopted two more Huskies but I think of Yukon and shikota every day 🤦 I know life will get better but the spark of life left with them
I’m watching this with my 4 year old daughter because I thought she would like the dogs, I asked her what she thought and she says ‘that mans handsome’ oh my!!
I know that hopeless, scared feeling when your baby is so sick and there’s nothing you can do, though you’re prepared to do anything, but there’s nothing you can do. It’s a horrible feeling.
I lost both my rescue babies last year within 3 weeks of each other. It broke my heart and I got a new old deaf senior pup and will make him happy and secure until it is his time to go. I only rescue senior dogs because they are usually not adopted. I feel it is my heart task to make sure they have a safe home until l their time is up. It doesn't mean I don't cry and my heart doesn't break it just means I know it from the beginning
Great bus, ohh Stella, just made me cry, being in the pitty adoption, rescue world for many years, 61 now, but pitties were the very, very best, most loving unconditional love. God's angels, Stella is back with God, she left wonderful memories. Much love,Lee, thank you, thank you. 💕💕🤗🐕🐾🙏🙏
Dear mr Asher, thank you. I lost my boy of 17 years and I was shattered to say the least. I told my wife I wanted to wait a while cause I was super sad . To her credit we got a puppy who a local breeder didn’t want him. He is now 12 months and a total lovable character he is gentle but playful. I didn’t think I could love a puppy again but In love again and watching you and your pack is teaching me to be a better puppy dad so thank you
Just had to say goodbye to my Alakan Malamute and loving friend and constant companion. He lost 30 pounds in a month. It was difficult to tell because of their heavy coat. By the time we were aware he was ill, it was too late, he was in kidney failure. He had been a 90 pound dog who was down to 60 pounds. My heart is broken. I see and hear him everywhere. That is him in my photo. I love you Dakota.
@@denicesanders4586 My dear Denice I'm super sorry for your loss I know what you feel all your thought in your mind is him and the great love between you both, its the biggest hurt ever hon he's the best creacher ever amaizing soul and heart. Just love nothing but love. I cant even try to think I'll do the same no no.. I know that food makes all animals and humans sickness. Dry food is the worse choice we don't eat that how and why we give it to the ones we love also lots of meat is bad/protin for kidnies. The only good thing now that you're sure your lovely baby is in good hands, it's running playing with other dogs happy and I'm sure you will meat together again when that time comes but this time you'll both play together walk/run together forever it will be forever love you'll never saperate again it'll be just hugs and kisses. Please calm your heart with this feeling and thoughts. He didn't go so far he still can see you feel you and love you.💋❤ Also I think check up with vet from time to time is the best for our babies. Have a calm nice and great life my dear Denice. He's by your side now. My love to you. 🐾❤🐾❤ You can enjoy dog's videos on my page if you like, let me know so I can click accept please. ❤🌿🇺🇸 m.facebook.com/fa.albayati I loved your videos. ruclips.net/video/Y9q79s6Ej_0/видео.html
I commend you for being so brave many times I’ve wanted to do this but Stella knew where you need it to be. Things happen for a reason and I think dogs sometimes know More than we do. Thank God for Stella
Lee you need to take care of yourself those beautiful animals that make up your life depend on you we are just the crowd looking in you don't have any obligation to us as the crowd will come and go. I am a 73 year old Gay man I have a wife and two adorable children and a super Labrador who I love more than my children....she needs me and I need her.....I must keep myself in good health for her..and you must do the same for all your dogs.......God Bless You and all your dogs.
So sorry for your loss of Stella , I feel your despair, but the sanctuary is amazing, for you the animals, Thank you for sharing your bus journey, I have so much respect for what you are doing, God Bless you 🙏❤️
To Archer House, Lee, I'm so glad to find your sanctuary and your beautiful pack. For the last month this has been amazing adventure to see you doing what you Love too do. I have a Staffordshire named Snoop, He is my amazing, compassion service job. Not just because he's my service dog, He's my best friend, my buddy. Pretty soon on October 2021, He will be celebrating his 17th birthday. I have been blessed to have him in my life and whatever happens I hope he's still with me for another journey. And I want to thank you. For living Stella's life, to the fullest. Happy trails with your buddies. 🌿🦋😊😇🐕🐾🐩🐶🐾🐾🐾🐶🦋🎉🎉🎉👑
My eyes tear up when I hear you talk about Stella, it reminds me of the last day with my cat Sophie. I have a dog called Molly now and I dread the day I lose her.
Ughh being a pit mom, the story about Stella brought me to tears. So sorry for your loss. Thank so much for making all these babies lives so much better!!!
I cry for each video in a great way - my heart opens. I love that you are a middle man for the dogs because I go to the pound I leave so sad and kind of scarred but I would definatly adopt from you or someone like you as they are now the dog they are going to be happy and alive again. Thank you - this is how many dogs will get the best homes.
You're so amazing. Thank you for saving all those animals. I wish there were more kind and compassionate people in this world. Best wishes to you always ❤️❤️❤️
Will your sanctuary be taking volunteers/employees? I have 10+ years experience in veterinary and rescue. Have done dozens of fosters. I too, like many others have struggled this past year. I moved to Oregon in December 2019 and then everything shut down! I have been alone, not knowing anyone here and have found myself searching for a purpose. I want to get back to my rescue work and when I heard you moved to Oregon, I thought it's a sign!
If you live in rural Oregon people are very friendly as long as you respect them and their beliefs, get out and meet people, volunteering is a great way, Woof Project is a good rescue group that focuses on Shepherds in NW
Hey Lee...I was thinking...as you were talking about Stella...& how the sanctuary came about partly bc of her...maybe you could have a little shop of sorts on your grounds...that you could name after her...like a place to drop off donations...whether it be old blankets,towels,hay,feed...$$$...or a spot to learn about animals w books,videos...maybe a courtyard where ppl can buy sandwiches & eat outside while visiting...or a memorial garden w a path of stones,bricks...that visitors can paint on site (or bring their own) & plant on the garden paths...Stella's Place...in honor of her...anyways...love you loads...peace.
Love this idea plus the idea of a shelter. Lee will do well with Stella’s Place for donations or Stella’s Shop with Asher House shirts, masks, hats, and souvenirs. 😊
Lee you are such an amazing person and ambassador for animals and how they should be adored by we humans. Don't feel pressured or stressed that you owe us quality content to watch. That comes so naturally for you...you could just sit in a field or on a beach and let your pack just run around and film that calling out the different dogs every so often. You give us SO MUCH with everything you do and what you give your animals at the sanctuary. Just be you my friend...that's all we want!!!
I watch because you have such a big heart and it amazing to see how your ability to love changes scared shelter dogs into happy healthy dogs. You have a gift and remind us all in the power of love.
Well Lee, you brought good out of your pain, took a worldwide shutdown and turned it into something constructive and positive. When I look at you I see someone who can’t take, won’t take no for an answer. All you see is the mission, it’s an obsession. You blaze ahead, man the torpedoes. 🚀
Wonderful poignant conversation today. While you were losing Stella, I had lost Layla and had emergency cancer surgery. My recovery was partly due to Utubers just like you who helped me thru those long days and nights of rehab and over a month in bed. My grief found solace in watching other people’s dogs and adventures that took me out of my hospital bed mentally. Currently I am in remission and able to heal the hole in my heart watching you and other sites. Bright blessings to you and your community. 🐕🦺🤎🤎🦮
You hear people say, my pup saved me. In this case Lee was inspired by Stella to build a sanctuary!! WOW, that speaks volumes of the power of his love for his pups, his mission. God bless you!
She was your angel to make you stronger, and to push you on to your next level. I will say on a personal note: she is deep in my heart, I never realized how deep until she was gone. I cried so many tears, and my heart broke the day she made her final journey. Don't get me wrong I love the whole pack, but she was such a snuggle bug, she gave her love so freely. I so fell in love with her and she stole my heart, I miss her running on the beach, and in the snow she was (is) the most loving magnificent dog, even thou she wasn't mine physically, in my heart she was my girl.😞❤
Neither hawks OR owls can carry off more than their own weight. Large raptors such as Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls can weigh up to four pounds; thus niether of these birds could lift more than a four pound animal from the ground.
Yes, they could go for the neck and kill them immediately but then not be able to carry them away. You can't take the chance. We have told him already but he doesn't want to believe it. Hopefully the bigger dogs will protect the little dogs and act as a deterrent. Fingers crossed.
I had an owl outside my house nicely & I would never let my 4.2 & 4.4 lb boys out alone for fear of just that...I watched this owl swoop down on a squirrel & a snake...
Yes!!! Just because your little doggie is larger than the hawk does not mean that the hawk will not try to kill your dog and haul it away. The same thing goes for coyotes. They can kill your little one by breaking its neck and then not be able to haul it away. I do not enjoy watching these outdoor romps because I see unnecessary risks being taken with these fur babies. The dogs do not understand that they are prey outside.
I live in NC and drove a school bus in the mid 80s as a teenager taking fellow students to school so I can relate to all of their issues. I'm sorry about Stella! RIP💜 However at this time in your journey God had other bigger plans for you! The Asher House is awesome!! I'm happy in the way you ended up there! You look so much happier and relaxed there. Its absolutely awesome and wow has the pack grown! 🙂 the love and passion shows in your videos! Please continue to take care of Yourself the pack and the Asher House! You have an awesome calling and I love you and the pack! I look forward to your videos 💜 Keep up the awesome job you are doing! Sending prayers love peace comfort to You! See ya in the next video...
He's an angel sent to all the animals that he adopts..I swear if I were to ever win the lottery I would open a santuary for abandoned and abused animals and they would live their best lives until they cross the bridge...Love animals so much!!!!!
I am really sorry. 🥺 For Stella‘s loss. But you got the sanctuary which is a blessing for all your animals and for you as well I think. Warm wishes from Germany.

I remember the day I had to say goodbye to my dog. One of the hardest days of my life. That was 2 years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t miss or think of him. He’ll always be a part of me and who I am. So hear Stella’s story broke me. You’re an amazing guy doing amazing things for amazing dogs.
Thank you so much for caring and loving the doggies!, All they ask of us is to care for them and loving them. that is all they want Love! and that is what you give them, God Bless you!
U were RESCUING saving loving and caring for soooooo many dogs in need and whose lives depended on you! I knew you would need bigger premises and yard! Thank u for all you do! 🥰🙏🐶🙏💕💜💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰from Australia
I love how you are doing these videos. Lots of answers to questions I had. Know that all of us have ups & downs. Some of us have more downs than ups. This year I lost my two cats & 1 dog, all seniors. Have one dog left. You have inspired me to adopt older dogs. Right now the shelters where i live are very empty, (Utah County, UT) . I don't know if covid has helped people adopt or foster more. When i am ready, i will approach a rescue, maybe the one out of Colorado Springs that rescues puppy mill dogs. Keep up the good work, & when you start feeling down, go lay with the pigs.
OMG, Lee, my Sweetiepea had her first seizure May 2020. it was horrible. It was followed by a few more horrible days, a lot of good ones, then one that was the worst. Losing our furbabies is the most difficult passage. Love & light & healing to you and Stella and all the dogs.
Tammie you mention part of my prayer to God when before and after my pets pass I ask God to put them in a place of Love Light and Happiness in Heaven I mention my pet by name they do have souls and Heaven is Real and God Loves us and Loves our pets too .😊🐶😊🐺😊🐶😊
@@alextollinche9947 I absolutely agree. They have beautiful souls. I'd anyone deserves a heaven, it is them. I feel my furbabies w me. We will be mixed w dirt & become a tree together after I die.
I kno yor pain...I just lost my Princess Nitro..she was a firecracker, she had a seizure Fri afternoon and another at the vets office We made the decision to let her cross over the Rainbow Bridge. She is free. She is 14 yrs old she and her brother were born in my bedroom. Lou her brother, yesterday jumped off the bed, laid on the floor and cried. He knew! 😢 ... It's been a rough time. I kno I have to go thru this 2 more times. It is horrible. We did or will get her pawprint and ashes. All the memories just overwhelm.😢😢😢😢
Stella had the best family a dog could ever ask for🙏🏽 Keep on living your dream🥰 I am creating my own little animal sanctuary and would love to visit your sanctuary for more inspiration🙌🏽. May more human hearts open up to these beautiful creatures.
I'm old enough to have lost so many companions and best friends to age and/or illness. Each time I think, how will I survive this loss? We lost our boy and best buddy for 14 years, Chet, last fall and I'm still not really over it. I know how you must be feeling. Take care of yourself, remember all the good times, and know that you and Stella will always be together in your heart. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your mission of love with all of us.
Hi Lee! I have stage 1 cancer. I’m going to be fine but this summer, I’m in treatment. I can’t help animals as much as I would normally. Being able to support your work helps me stay involved. Thank you so much. Stay safe my friend! 🌎😀❤️
Beautiful story! It's mind blowing what Covid did to all of us! I'm so sorry about your precious Stella! Her plus Covid equals the sanctuary where you have saved so many babies' lives! That's what makes it beautiful! 😌💞💞💞💞
The best thing you can do for the people who follow you, is to take care of yourself and the dogs first and foremost. Without you there is nothing to follow, to watch. So you do what you have to do to care for the dogs and yourself. We will be here for you.
I live in Joshua Tree!. Since Covid the number of buses and vans in town have really increased. Also, my neighborhood is gentrifying and my house is suddenly worth so much more than I paid. All of this has me thinking about hitting the road to see the country with Gidget the chihuahua but…Covid. These are weird times. I’m glad you found the sanctuary. It’s a safe place for you and all the babies.
Sooo sorry about Stella. My heart breaks for you and i know that feeling as i have lost dogs through the years. I have always had dogs, never without one for 40 years and losing one is always so hard. You are losing a loved one and they are family. Right now I have three, a lab chow mix Ruffy 15 years old, a lab Baby doll 5 years old and a pitbull Jada (just adopted two years ago) she is now four. Don't tell my other babies but the pittie is my all time favorite!!! She is running over with personality! Sweet, cuddly, playful, eager to learn and Loves loves loves people!!!
I will never forget stella. She was a true pitty. She gave everything. All her love and all her energy for you and the pack unconditionally. Again, thanks for always showing us the beautiful side of rescuing dogs in need.
You are amazing ! You have helped me through a lot of my own personal pain. Just watching the love you have for your dogs is so inspiring to me. I have 3 goldens and their love and affection has helped me throughout some dark days. Keep doing want your doing, there should be more people in the world like you. I’m a registered nurse and I love to love people but my love for animals helps me on a different level and I thank them for that. Love watching you, keep up the good work. Kimberly
You are a awesome man for all you do for these dogs. God bless you and all the dogs. You are amazing. Love your videos and love what you do for the dogs. RIP Stella beautiful dog. Love the place you have so huge beautiful. You are God send wonderful loving man for these dogs and other animals that you have there truely are. You are loved by many.♥♥♥🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🙏🙏🙏
You are such a sweet man. I always wanted to have the space to take in lots of dogs or any animal for that matter. I saw you crying over Stella and I felt your pain. I had just lost my beautiful June Bug. What a horrible feeling of loss and guilt. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. I will donate.
Worth the memories to remember… you were waa way overdue and now your expanding more ! So proud of you of you… Keep Rolling Forward… its all you need to think of !
LOOK lee you us the circle of life in the most beautiful of ways, you show puppys at the start of their lifes journey, Then with Stella The end of that Beautiful Journy and also how to deal with the grief of losing a best friend. Kids and adults need to learn this its not pleasant and you look after that pack like a family so dont worry about showing the good and bad times your AWSOME
I’m so sorry about precious Stella!! 😢 I just pray that God gives you a long, healthy life! So you can continue to rescue precious, innocent doggies!! God bless!!! 🙏🏻
That would be a dream.. My dad converted a few busses into homes and we were going to travel after my kids were grown but he didn't make it and I ended up making some bad life choices. Im now changing my life around and it's just me and my house hippo puppy. I'm realizing I need a change in living as I'm a country girl stuck in the city world!! You are inspiring Lee!! 💝
Lee you don't owe us anything. Keep taking care of yourself and the animals. That's should be enough!
I’m so glad you said that. It’s obvious he loves these animals, his children, so hard, so fully. (Love that he has kitties too). With the depth of that love comes the flip side of excruciating grief which he has shared just as openly. That takes a toll. You are absolutely right he has no real obligation to those who support him, just to take care of himself and his pack. .
pro trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Greyson Griffin Yea, I have been using flixzone for years myself =)
💫🌻🙏🏽🙌🏽AMEN🙌🏽🙏🏽🌻💫
This man is a role model for the rest of us to emulate ,
I understand all the emotions.. These animals, their wellbeing, happiness, their lives etc /means so much to you, because you love them so much. I also get very emotional about my pets. They are so wonderful, so loyal and yes not easy to lose something or someone you love. God bless.
Join patron like I did. It's a good feeling.
C'est un homme super❤
Stella's love is celestial. Lee has really been through it. There's no easy road 2 success, but so worthwhile. RIP Stella

STELLA!!!! You will be missed and remembered always! Love always to Lee and the pack!
I love that you showed all the doggos napping happily on the bus❤🐶
I’m watching this with my 4 year old daughter because I thought she would like the dogs, I asked her what she thought and she says ‘that mans handsome’ oh my!!
Thats because his loving attitude is very attractive to all! As a child handsome is as handsome DOES!Very intuitive child id say!
Well. She's not wrong. :-)
I know that hopeless, scared feeling when your baby is so sick and there’s nothing you can do, though you’re prepared to do anything, but there’s nothing you can do. It’s a horrible feeling.
yes. the worst. ever.
I lost both my rescue babies last year within 3 weeks of each other. It broke my heart and I got a new old deaf senior pup and will make him happy and secure until it is his time to go. I only rescue senior dogs because they are usually not adopted. I feel it is my heart task to make sure they have a safe home until l their time is up. It doesn't mean I don't cry and my heart doesn't break it just means I know it from the beginning

Oh my god ! I cried my eyes out over Stella and then Sammy ! Omg as if they were my dogs I still think of them often

Dear mr Asher, thank you. I lost my boy of 17 years and I was shattered to say the least. I told my wife I wanted to wait a while cause I was super sad . To her credit we got a puppy who a local breeder didn’t want him. He is now 12 months and a total lovable character he is gentle but playful. I didn’t think I could love a puppy again but In love again and watching you and your pack is teaching me to be a better puppy dad so thank you
I’m obsessed with you and your life mission. ❤️❤️. You are an angel!

This made me cry. Stella, CICI, ... ALL DOGS. I can't say that godbye. 💔🌈🐩🐾🐾🐕❤
Just had to say goodbye to my Alakan Malamute and loving friend and constant companion. He lost 30 pounds in a month. It was difficult to tell because of their heavy coat.

Just love nothing but love. I cant even try to think I'll do the same no no.. I know that food makes all animals and humans sickness. Dry food is the worse choice we don't eat that how and why we give it to the ones we love also lots of meat is bad/protin for kidnies. The only good thing now that you're sure your lovely baby is in good hands, it's running playing with other dogs happy and I'm sure you will meat together again when that time comes but this time you'll both play together walk/run together forever it will be forever love you'll never saperate again it'll be just hugs and kisses. Please calm your heart with this feeling and thoughts. He didn't go so far he still can see you feel you and love you.💋❤
Also I think check up with vet from time to time is the best for our babies. Have a calm nice and great life my dear Denice. He's by your side now.
My love to you. 🐾❤🐾❤

Stella and Cecelia passed away?
I commend you for being so brave many times I’ve wanted to do this but Stella knew where you need it to be. Things happen for a reason and I think dogs sometimes know More than we do. Thank God for Stella
Lee you need to take care of yourself those beautiful animals that make up your life depend on you we are just the crowd looking in you don't have any obligation to us as the crowd will come and go. I am a 73 year old Gay man I have a wife and two adorable children and a super Labrador who I love more than my children....she needs me and I need her.....I must keep myself in good health for her..and you must do the same for all your dogs.......God Bless You and all your dogs.
You have never made me cry before...til now. Stella lived a wonderful life thanks to you.
Lee Asher has a 👌 fabulous mission to stop animal abuse. It's his life. Help Lee now. For these darling 💕 🐕
Oh so sad about Stella she will be missed ):
Lee, we need more folks like you in the world. 💯
Lee we support you no matter what path you take we are on your journey xxxxx we adore your soul
Wow. Lee you’re the most awesome, amazing guy! Thank you for all you do for these animals. Blessings and much Aloha from Oregon🐾🐾💜🐾🐾🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏🐾🐾
So sorry for your loss of Stella , I feel your despair, but the sanctuary is amazing, for you the animals, Thank you for sharing your bus journey,
I have so much respect for what you are doing, God Bless you 🙏❤️
Dogs are the most loyal friend one would ever have. Do you have pup?
I rewatch over and over the iTunes videos. We all love you and the pups and your mission ♥️♥️
To Archer House, Lee, I'm so glad to find your sanctuary and your beautiful pack. For the last month this has been amazing adventure to see you doing what you Love too do. I have a Staffordshire named Snoop, He is my amazing, compassion service job. Not just because he's my service dog, He's my best friend, my buddy. Pretty soon on October 2021, He will be celebrating his 17th birthday. I have been blessed to have him in my life and whatever happens I hope he's still with me for another journey. And I want to thank you. For living Stella's life, to the fullest. Happy trails with your buddies. 🌿🦋😊😇🐕🐾🐩🐶🐾🐾🐾🐶🦋🎉🎉🎉👑
My eyes tear up when I hear you talk about Stella, it reminds me of the last day with my cat Sophie. I have a dog called Molly now and I dread the day I lose her.
Ughh being a pit mom, the story about Stella brought me to tears. So sorry for your loss. Thank so much for making all these babies lives so much better!!!
My prayer is that God bless and keep you always! Thank you for your life!
I cry for each video in a great way - my heart opens. I love that you are a middle man for the dogs because I go to the pound I leave so sad and kind of scarred but I would definatly adopt from you or someone like you as they are now the dog they are going to be happy and alive again. Thank you - this is how many dogs will get the best homes.
Lee you are an amazing individual. You owe us nothing. Keep your passion and love for the babies going. We are here for you too. Xxx
You should find a place , a small garden or some trees, and put a form of remembrance for Stella, and anyone else you might loose...
You're so amazing. Thank you for saving all those animals. I wish there were more kind and compassionate people in this world. Best wishes to you always ❤️❤️❤️
Will your sanctuary be taking volunteers/employees? I have 10+ years experience in veterinary and rescue. Have done dozens of fosters. I too, like many others have struggled this past year. I moved to Oregon in December 2019 and then everything shut down! I have been alone, not knowing anyone here and have found myself searching for a purpose. I want to get back to my rescue work and when I heard you moved to Oregon, I thought it's a sign!
Sounds like a awesome idea. There is also skydog sanctuary for mustangs. Another group of four loggers that gets overlooked to say the least.
Contact him...I think he will say yes..he is going to need help. Wish you good luck

If you live in rural Oregon people are very friendly as long as you respect them and their beliefs, get out and meet people, volunteering is a great way, Woof Project is a good rescue group that focuses on Shepherds in NW
@@Jojoba25 Ya they are over in Bend area
You do make all of us hopeful. You are a special person
Hey Lee...I was thinking...as you were talking about Stella...& how the sanctuary came about partly bc of her...maybe you could have a little shop of sorts on your grounds...that you could name after her...like a place to drop off donations...whether it be old blankets,towels,hay,feed...$$$...or a spot to learn about animals w books,videos...maybe a courtyard where ppl can buy sandwiches & eat outside while visiting...or a memorial garden w a path of stones,bricks...that visitors can paint on site (or bring their own) & plant on the garden paths...Stella's Place...in honor of her...anyways...love you loads...peace.
Love this idea plus the idea of a shelter. Lee will do well with Stella’s Place for donations or Stella’s Shop with Asher House shirts, masks, hats, and souvenirs. 😊
Lee you are such an amazing person and ambassador for animals and how they should be adored by we humans. Don't feel pressured or stressed that you owe us quality content to watch. That comes so naturally for you...you could just sit in a field or on a beach and let your pack just run around and film that calling out the different dogs every so often. You give us SO MUCH with everything you do and what you give your animals at the sanctuary. Just be you my friend...that's all we want!!!
I watch because you have such a big heart and it amazing to see how your ability to love changes scared shelter dogs into happy healthy dogs. You have a gift and remind us all in the power of love.
Well Lee, you brought good out of your pain, took a worldwide shutdown and turned it into something constructive and positive.
When I look at you I see someone who can’t take, won’t take no for an answer. All you see is the mission, it’s an obsession.
You blaze ahead, man the torpedoes. 🚀
Wonderful poignant conversation today. While you were losing Stella, I had lost Layla and had emergency cancer surgery. My recovery was partly due to Utubers just like you who helped me thru those long days and nights of rehab and over a month in bed. My grief found solace in watching other people’s dogs and adventures that took me out of my hospital bed mentally. Currently I am in remission and able to heal the hole in my heart watching you and other sites. Bright blessings to you and your community. 🐕🦺🤎🤎🦮
You hear people say, my pup saved me. In this case Lee was inspired by Stella to build a sanctuary!! WOW, that speaks volumes of the power of his love for his pups, his mission. God bless you!
Awesome! So excited to hear that you are in a bigger space.
She was your angel to make you stronger, and to push you on to your next level. I will say on a personal note: she is deep in my heart, I never realized how deep until she was gone. I cried so many tears, and my heart broke the day she made her final journey. Don't get me wrong I love the whole pack, but she was such a snuggle bug, she gave her love so freely. I so fell in love with her and she stole my heart, I miss her running on the beach, and in the snow she was (is) the most loving magnificent dog, even thou she wasn't mine physically, in my heart she was my girl.😞❤
It always amazing how these animals have such an understanding that they just get along with each other!
Please... be careful when outside with the little doggies when outside without tree coverage. Hawks are swift.
Neither hawks OR owls can carry off more than their own weight. Large raptors such as Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls can weigh up to four pounds; thus niether of these birds could lift more than a four pound animal from the ground.
@@mjm.9082 When they're hungry and have opportunity, it doesn't stop them from trying.
Yes, they could go for the neck and kill them immediately but then not be able to carry them away. You can't take the chance. We have told him already but he doesn't want to believe it. Hopefully the bigger dogs will protect the little dogs and act as a deterrent. Fingers crossed.
I had an owl outside my house nicely & I would never let my 4.2 & 4.4 lb boys out alone for fear of just that...I watched this owl swoop down on a squirrel & a snake...
Yes!!! Just because your little doggie is larger than the hawk does not mean that the hawk will not try to kill your dog and haul it away. The same thing goes for coyotes. They can kill your little one by breaking its neck and then not be able to haul it away. I do not enjoy watching these outdoor romps because I see unnecessary risks being taken with these fur babies. The dogs do not understand that they are prey outside.
I live in NC and drove a school bus in the mid 80s as a teenager taking fellow students to school so I can relate to all of their issues. I'm sorry about Stella! RIP💜 However at this time in your journey God had other bigger plans for you! The Asher House is awesome!! I'm happy in the way you ended up there! You look so much happier and relaxed there. Its absolutely awesome and wow has the pack grown! 🙂 the love and passion shows in your videos! Please continue to take care of Yourself the pack and the Asher House! You have an awesome calling and I love you and the pack! I look forward to your videos 💜 Keep up the awesome job you are doing! Sending prayers love peace comfort to You! See ya in the next video...
He's an angel sent to all the animals that he adopts..I swear if I were to ever win the lottery I would open a santuary for abandoned and abused animals and they would live their best lives until they cross the bridge...Love animals so much!!!!!
The world's a better place because of you.
I am really sorry. 🥺 For Stella‘s loss. But you got the sanctuary which is a blessing for all your animals and for you as well I think. Warm wishes from Germany.
The heart ♥️ goes on
Dogs are the most loyal friend one would ever have. Do you have pup?

Stella and Sammy are with you every step of the way sweetheart! ❤️
I remember the day I had to say goodbye to my dog. One of the hardest days of my life. That was 2 years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t miss or think of him. He’ll always be a part of me and who I am. So hear Stella’s story broke me. You’re an amazing guy doing amazing things for amazing dogs.
Thank you so much for caring and loving the doggies!, All they ask of us is to care for them and loving them. that is all they want Love! and that is what you give them, God Bless you!
U were RESCUING saving loving and caring for soooooo many dogs in need and whose lives depended on you! I knew you would need bigger premises and yard! Thank u for all you do! 🥰🙏🐶🙏💕💜💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰from Australia
I love how you are doing these videos. Lots of answers to questions I had. Know that all of us have ups & downs. Some of us have more downs than ups. This year I lost my two cats & 1 dog, all seniors. Have one dog left. You have inspired me to adopt older dogs.
Right now the shelters where i live are very empty, (Utah County, UT) . I don't know if covid has helped people adopt or foster more. When i am ready, i will approach a rescue, maybe the one out of Colorado Springs that rescues puppy mill dogs.
Keep up the good work, & when you start feeling down, go lay with the pigs.
You are pretty awesome yourself. I've become so interested in Senior dogs.
OMG, Lee, my Sweetiepea had her first seizure May 2020. it was horrible. It was followed by a few more horrible days, a lot of good ones, then one that was the worst. Losing our furbabies is the most difficult passage. Love & light & healing to you and Stella and all the dogs.
Tammie you mention part of my prayer to God when before and after my pets pass I ask God to put them in a place of Love Light and Happiness in Heaven I mention my pet by name they do have souls and Heaven is Real and God Loves us and Loves our pets too .😊🐶😊🐺😊🐶😊
@@alextollinche9947 I absolutely agree. They have beautiful souls. I'd anyone deserves a heaven, it is them. I feel my furbabies w me. We will be mixed w dirt & become a tree together after I die.
@@doglady9334 God Bless you have a Beautiful Heart 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
I kno yor pain...I just lost my Princess Nitro..she was a firecracker, she had a seizure Fri afternoon and another at the vets office
We made the decision to let her cross over the Rainbow Bridge. She is free. She is 14 yrs old she and her brother were born in my bedroom. Lou her brother, yesterday jumped off the bed, laid on the floor and cried. He knew! 😢 ... It's been a rough time. I kno I have to go thru this 2 more times. It is horrible. We did or will get her pawprint and ashes. All the memories just overwhelm.😢😢😢😢
@@susanbalcom8241 I'm so deeply sorry. This is the pain we must face when given the gift, so precious, of their love.
Stella had the best family a dog could ever ask for🙏🏽
Keep on living your dream🥰 I am creating my own little animal sanctuary and would love to visit your sanctuary for more inspiration🙌🏽. May more human hearts open up to these beautiful creatures.
I'm old enough to have lost so many companions and best friends to age and/or illness. Each time I think, how will I survive this loss? We lost our boy and best buddy for 14 years, Chet, last fall and I'm still not really over it. I know how you must be feeling. Take care of yourself, remember all the good times, and know that you and Stella will always be together in your heart. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your mission of love with all of us.
Aww Stella, my heart breaks every time you talk about her passing 😔😔💕💕
Dogs are the most loyal friend one would ever have. Do you have pup?
Such a great story!! Best wishes for the Sanctuary!!
Hi Lee! I have stage 1 cancer. I’m going to be fine but this summer, I’m in treatment. I can’t help animals as much as I would normally. Being able to support your work helps me stay involved. Thank you so much. Stay safe my friend! 🌎😀❤️
Stella is still with you.❤️ Love never dies. Spell dog backwards. Hugs
Love you man. So sorry for your loss.
Beautiful story! It's mind blowing what Covid did to all of us! I'm so sorry about your precious Stella! Her plus Covid equals the sanctuary where you have saved so many babies' lives! That's what makes it beautiful! 😌💞💞💞💞
Good good for you and the boys.
The best thing you can do for the people who follow you, is to take care of yourself and the dogs first and foremost. Without you there is nothing to follow, to watch. So you do what you have to do to care for the dogs and yourself. We will be here for you.
Good man and lovely dogs x
I live in Joshua Tree!. Since Covid the number of buses and vans in town have really increased. Also, my neighborhood is gentrifying and my house is suddenly worth so much more than I paid. All of this has me thinking about hitting the road to see the country with Gidget the chihuahua but…Covid. These are weird times. I’m glad you found the sanctuary. It’s a safe place for you and all the babies.
Sooo sorry about Stella. My heart breaks for you and i know that feeling as i have lost dogs through the years. I have always had dogs, never without one for 40 years and losing one is always so hard. You are losing a loved one and they are family. Right now I have three, a lab chow mix Ruffy 15 years old, a lab Baby doll 5 years old and a pitbull Jada (just adopted two years ago) she is now four. Don't tell my other babies but the pittie is my all time favorite!!! She is running over with personality! Sweet, cuddly, playful, eager to learn and Loves loves loves people!!!
God and St Francis bless you always 🙏 for your kindness and compassion for our voiceless friends ❤️
You are an example of a person that has a mission and fights for It till you get your goal. Congratulations. From Brasil.
I will never forget stella. She was a true pitty. She gave everything. All her love and all her energy for you and the pack unconditionally. Again, thanks for always showing us the beautiful side of rescuing dogs in need.
Love what you do !! ❤️ Besides the hawk warnings ( and coyotes ) , Oregon was hit hard with wildfires last year ! Be careful !
You are amazing ! You have helped me through a lot of my own personal pain. Just watching the love you have for your dogs is so inspiring to me. I have 3 goldens and their love and affection has helped me throughout some dark days. Keep doing want your doing, there should be more people in the world like you. I’m a registered nurse and I love to love people but my love for animals helps me on a different level and I thank them for that. Love watching you, keep up the good work.

You are such a sweet man. I always wanted to have the space to take in lots of dogs or any animal for that matter. I saw you crying over Stella and I felt your pain. I had just lost my beautiful June Bug. What a horrible feeling of loss and guilt. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. I will donate.
Worth the memories to remember… you were waa way overdue and now your expanding more ! So proud of you of you… Keep Rolling Forward… its all you need to think of !
Lee, you are a beautiful soul

That would be a dream.. My dad converted a few busses into homes and we were going to travel after my kids were grown but he didn't make it and I ended up making some bad life choices. Im now changing my life around and it's just me and my house hippo puppy. I'm realizing I need a change in living as I'm a country girl stuck in the city world!! You are inspiring Lee!! 💝
Love the way you take care of all the animals
