The part when dogs see their owners leave 😢 The feeling of being abandoned is a soul crushing. I am glad people like this guy exist in the world to make it a better place

This guy is awesome. Too bad he’s not at all the shelters. You can see how much he really cares. I loved watching this video and it makes me want to go adopt a pet.

The first time I saw my dog at the shelter I knew she needed out, she just looked defeated and depressed. She had been through multiple homes so even taking her home she didn't get excited. Few days after I got her home she finally opened up and now she's my crazy little love bug. So if you're reading this and don't have a dog yet this is your sign, go get your best friend.

Dogs are the physical embodiment of love

I’m sitting here crying my eyes out, heartbroken for the dogs watching their family leave and not knowing why. Sir, I could not do what you do, and I thank God for strong people like you who can. You’re a blessing. Thank you for sharing this video.

There’s a place reserved in heaven for this kind soul where he will be reunited with all of the dogs that he has saved. Much respect!

I'm now 70 years old and really want a forever dog.. people like this young man are so very special! ❣️😍

I Hope That All Animals Get Adopted By Wonderful Families.

So heartbreaking watching the dogs looking at their prior owners leaving them behind. Tears in my eyes.

I adopted my baby boy when he was 2 1/2 years old. The staff at that humane society absolutely lit up with joy when they found out that he was going to his forever home with my husband and I. Then staff then explained that he had been surrendered there twice. First time as a pup from Tennessee and the second time when this old lady had abused, (at the time) her adult daughter’s dog and forced her to give him up after she threw a shoe at him and he snapped his teeth at her as a warning. When I found him in that kennel, he looked like his spirit had been beaten down. He was very timid and shy when he came to the kennel door to greet me. He then sniffed my hand and went back to lay on his cot. However, the moment we brought him out for a private meet and greet he was sooo excited that his whole body was wiggling. He immediately grabbed a toy and started playing with everyone in the room. He stole my heart that day and ultimately, saved my life. I’ve struggled a lot with depression and had just been released after being hospitalized for a week. I knew he needed me to love him and he knew that I needed him as a companion to love me in return. Four years later, we are going on our first family vacation together. I’m so excited as it’ll also be his 6th birthday. I love him more than anything in the world and am grateful for each simple, little moment I have with him. Truly, he’s my best friend. Wish I could share a picture here but I guess it’s his story that counts. So blessed to have him as my baby. ❤❤❤

Adopted my cat from a shelter. The stars in his eyes when he saw they put the “Yay I’m adopted!” Card on his cage cannot be described with words.

This is why it's so important to adopt and rescue. So many sweeties need a family.

Honestly, that's one of the things that I can be really proud of my country, Poland. All the shelters are no-kill ones and it's very strictly enforced by law. All the best for all animal lovers!

Ive never seen that before, letting the dog watch his family leave when being surrendered-heartbreaking but I get it. We’re so lucky dogs are such forgiving and loving creatures and these dogs are so lucky to have places like this. Cheers to those who do such selfless work.

It’s so crazy how they know. Such beautiful intelligent creatures.

God bless this man & that Shelter! So wonderful. He's helping so many.

I volunteered at a shelter when I first retired and watching an animal get adopted is the best feeling you’ll ever have. This brought tears to my eyes. This guy is right about watching a dog watch his people walk away. The worst was when an owner died and the family didn’t want the animal. Usually that was the only home the dog or cat had ever had and they had NO idea why they were being left. Seeing that happen made me decide I would adopt senior dogs who had lost their owner. Last year I adopted two miniature dachshunds who were 17 and 18 yrs old. Every time I leave the house they’re sure I’m never coming back and it’s so sad to see that. They’re so excited when I return and I hope soon they will forget that terror of losing their former owner. I say all that to say Adopt from a shelter! And if you can, adopt a senior dog or cat. They still have a lot of love to give.

Before I even started watching this I said..." Oh no..... I'm gonna cry...". Happy tears obviously but .... there's something about these shelters... and the dogs reaction to being adored that is just so pure. Love is definitely all we need! Getting emotional in 2023!

I don't know how we did it. As horrible as humans can be, I don't know what we did to deserve that amount of love. We're so lucky ❤

Man if I had millions I would adopt them all and love for them 💯

here i am...... 71 years old.......and crying my heart out...!!.......this is so heartwarming .....to see these animals leave with their new family ........blessings to all you people that take these animals and care for them........

It’s hard not to cry while watching this. Please adopt and be patient.

I'm a grown man, and I've seen a lot of things... And this made me cry a lot, they are just pure souls trying to get an opportunity of expressing all the love they have to offer:(

This guy is like an angel sent from the heaven❤

When I went to a dog shelter to meet what I thought was gonna be my first dog, I was greeted by this massive Unit of a dog (bullmastiff x) just coming back from a walk. After asking about him, he’d been there since he was 4 months old and was now 11, nearly 12 months……..He’d had not a single person interested in him due to his size. So I asked about the dog I had come to see and was told that dog had a list of people wanting to take him, but I was first in line. So I made the decision there and then, that I was taking the big dog with no interest at all. I made the right decision…..He was an amazing friend to me, he stopped a burglar who had broken into my house by pinning him to a chair and whenever I wasn’t feeling well, he’d lay in bed with me and put one of his front legs over me and fall asleep beside me snoring his head off. Sadly he passed away in 2018 from a rare inoperable cancer on his brain stem. He was diagnosed at 2 years old and I was told he’d be gone in less than a year……He passed away 3 weeks before his 9th birthday. I’ve been to a lot of funerals for friends and relatives and I’ve never cried…..When my dog passed, I broke down in the vets office and was a mess for months after. I eventually got another dog, who is absolutely mental……I just wish my big dog was here, as him and my new dog would have been very funny together. My new dog reminds me a lot of my first dog, because they have very similar personalities.

This dudes a hero, this is who we should be supporting and watching.

Es maravilloso ver que ellos se alegran mucho al ser aadoptados! Dios quiera que todo perrito en el mundo tenga un hogar cálido!!

Need more people like this young man. Bravo. Good job.

I’m not a religious person but the best way I can describe this is that you are doing God’s work. Every animal deserves a home and it’s very heartwarming to see people dedicated to making it happen.

The worst part is watching their owners leave… 😔 So happy that you are doing this for those lovely creatures ❤

To strasznie wzruszający widok , jak psiaki się cieszą gdy ktoś ich adoptuje 👍👍 . Aż się popłakałem 🐶🐶🐶 Pozdrawiam z Polski 😘.

Why isn't everyone on the planet this kind and understanding? No one is perfect, but at least strive to be like this guy.

You made a grumpy old man teary eyed!. Great job!. Lovely seeing happy doglets going to their forever home.

Seeing the dogs watching their owner leaving them behind was heartbreaking. With that camera angle, it was like we were with them, as confuse as they were... I will never leave my dog behind never.

That made me tear up. What a sweetheart.

When social media actually does some good instead of rotting your brain.

Not only do they understand what we say, they also understand how we feel. Seeing all these dogs get a home is amazing.

I couldn't watch this without crying...So sad watching the dogs surrendered watching the owners drive off and leave them behind...not knowing why or what they did wrong....But watching them be told they were adopted and going to forever home was so beautiful how happy and excited each one was..What this man does is amazing and heartwarming...God bless him for having such a beautiful heart and showing these dogs so much care and love.

The feeling of being wanted,that someone wants you,......priceless.

My dog was found in the desert. She had been dumped and was literally skin and bones. Even when we took her home all her ribs and vertebrae were visible under her coat. She was at the point of going to a foster but we adopted her instead. We’ve had her for 10 years now, she still doesn’t want to get in the car. I think she’s afraid of being dumped again. Once in the car she wants to sit right up on you. That’s a bit difficult as she’s 90 lbs now. Either a Belgian Malinios or a shepherd mix. She’s a adhd dog for sure. Probably whoever dumped her couldn’t handle her enthusiasm for life. She’s living her best life now.

They say we don't deserve dogs. But this guy definitely deserve the loyalty and the love of all dogs.

Well, how beautiful is that? Thank you very much for what you do.

Thank god for places like this.

It's comforting to see the dogs finally get a loving home forever. Thanks rescuers.

When I rescued my dog from the shelter she literally dragged me to my car. She smiled all the way home and was so excited to have a home. It's one of my favourite ever memories.

Бачити такі справді людські вчинки як розбирання по домівках собак з притулку - це просто мега круто. Бог всім тим людям віддячить сповна !

We Love BIG friendly dogs. We currently own a 4 year old 110# pure bred Chocolate Lab. He’s our Gentle Giant Joe. We live in a very mountainous area of north central Washington state, 5 miles from town. There’s only 9 families who live on our private road and Joe always says hi to them as they come home from work. He walks with the kids who take the school bus and proceeds to get on the bus to say good morning to all of the kids. The bus driver then tells Joe to go home and he does.

Not all hero’s wear capes, this man deserves a fund me page for sure.

I will never understand how one can leave an animal behind. You are their world. You are their everything. And they give you all they can. By leaving them, you take everything away from them. You shatter their life. Thank you, Sir, for helping them. You are a great guy and they deserve someone like you after what the other people did.

We can make this world a better place. If we care for each over respect our elders.And I wish there's world peace,toodles❤😊

I really want to volunteer at a shelter, but I'd cry the entire time. Even walking to a kennel to put a "I'm adopted" sign on would get me too much because I'd be walking past all the other dogs that are still waiting, possibly forever. As soon as I'm in a position to adopt I will be.

I really admire the people who look after these poor pups when they get taken into shelters, I don't think I could emotionally deal with seeing them watch their owners leave, and then I'd get all emotional watching them find their forever home. But honestly people like you restore just the smallest bit of faith that not all humans are monsters!

Having an adopted dog all of this breaks my heart. My GOD this all breaks my heart. I'm happy that they're getting adopted. I'm so happy for my Shadow that he has a forever home with us now😍🤗

This man is such.a wonderful person the way he helps these precious dogs God bless him for the wonderful work he does Great job sir You have all my respect

I cried through this entire video. Tears of joy, tears of sadness. This place is a blessing.

Many years ago, i was in a terribly abusive relationship. My abuser began taking out his mental issues on the innocent dog. It has devastated me even to this day, but i couldnt get myself out of the situation right away. I could save the life of my precious dog. I chose to surrender him. It stands out as one of the most painful things ive ever done. But his life was worth saving!! He was adopted immediately. It was a couple months later that i was able to run a b d finally get away. Not a day has gone by that i havent thought about my sweet dog and wondered. Very thankful for amazing people like this man who help these angels find homes. ❤

Respect to this young man for his volunteer work to help bring hope back to these lovely dogs, we need more persons like you, to make a difference. The animal lovers thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.👍🤗🙉🐕🙏🏽

This man: he has a heart of gold. His heart; I think it is pure. God bless you all

You had a very smart idea by putting it on the internet. For whatever reason social media seems to get it out there and when you tell their stories along with the video it helps people to understand that these dogs need loving homes. Compassion is a rare commodity these days and I'm so glad that there are people like you out there.

I’m not crying, you are. Those dogs knows what that little orange note means 😭😭😭😭

The 2 little tan ones, one is hopping up & down, the other, shaking like a leaf are adorable. My heart goes out the the one that is scared. He/she is the one I would take home with me, cuz she/he really needs lots of love & understanding, & I have lits to give.❤ But if I could afford both, I'd take them both. That way they always have a playmate.

Didn't expect to cry today

To this guy who spent pretty much all his time with these dogs you’re their hero!!! God bless you my bro… we need more ppl like you

I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. If I could I'd adopt them all

The man is a Hero.

This literally brings tears to my eyes. Anyone who doesn't believe that animals can feel emotionally is truly clueless. Every single one of these animals understands when they are being not only adopted but also when they're being left. They feel love and hurt just like any of us do. God bless this man and every other shelter worker like him 🙏 ❤️

Oh man... In the middle of my shift when I watched the part "When a dog watches their owners leave", that made me break down. I'm gonna hug my dog when I get home.

I got my dog from a shelter when he was three and he's now 13, I love him so much! He has made my world so much happier! Always adopt.

Que Dios los llene de bendiciones a todos los que adoptaron a estos perritos ❤❤❤❤

As a person who only adopts, this makes me cry so hard. Amazing work. ❤️

He is awesome for being such a good dog whisperer. I hope more people like him are in the “animal shelter system”

Such a nice man and he does a very important job. Thank God for caring people like this.

This brings me happy tears and joy I'm so happy for him

I adopted a shelter puppy in April and she is my entire world. She has so much love to give and there isn't a soul that's met her that didn't think she was the sweetest dog. She brought my broken, limping shattered heart back to life. She really is my entire world and I miss her anytime I'm not with her. Even stores that aren't dog friendly adore her.

Dogs will seriously change your life. Each and every dog I’ve owned has impacted my life in a major way. If it wasn’t for my dogs I seriously don’t think I’d be here right now.

Excellent idea to let the dogs watch their previous owner leave so as to reduce their anxiety, good job 👏 👍

May God Bless all that adopt any humans or pets Tremendously 🙏 🙏🙏

Great work glad you are finding homes for these guys. Our shelters don’t have many thank god.

I love dogs. I’m retired and looking into a great shelter like this one to donate my time to love them and find them a forever family. I have two fur babies myself and they are just part of me and my family. God bless.

I volunteered at an animal control shelter to satisfy a community service obligation. It was only supposed to be for 40 hours, but I loved the interactions with the animals and people so much that I finally left after 3.5 years of volunteering. Ironically, this experience has led to a lifetime of giving back to my community for over 35 years, including 18 years with the American Red Cross Disaster Service, 15 years as a Firefighter/Medic & numerous community events. It was and is a life changing experience.

I’d pay every cent I have for his type of shelter to replace pounds. Dogs really are man’s best friend and deserve the patience and care he gives them. 😭 if I could tell him anything it’s be “thank you and keep up the amazing work”

I don’t know how someone can be so close to dogs, love them, observe them, hug them, and not know that dogs understand everything - especially the unspoken. What he is doing is beautiful and helps to show this very fact.

The sweetest thing was watching the guy rush to tell the dogs they're getting adopted 🥺🥺 He has such a big heart for every dog and seeing the joy when they get to leave is so heartwarming ❤️

I have worked in a few shelters, and I love it when a dog finds a home! Rescue dogs make great pets! Thank you for all you do, to find homes for these dogs!

When we adopted my grandma's dog and went to pick her up, the people in the shelter put a little red bow around her neck. I suppose that was their way of celebrating an animal finally being adopted and going home - putting a little bow on them as they wait for their family. There was a cat too, with another bow. I suppose that was a good day in that shelter. :) This was a very long time ago. I remember the first time we took her to a walk, she was scared to leave the yard. She probably already started to bond with us in those few hours we spent together, liked the place, and was scared that we'd take her back and abandon her. She enjoyed the walk, but the biggest enjoyment for her was going back inside the yard. The 2nd time she was still nervous, but not nearly as scared and hesitant. Eventually she learned that we'll always go HOME after we go out for a walk, and she became a super big fan of it, making a little happy dance every time she saw us walking towards the leash. :) I hope the cat at the shelter found a forever home, too. I know our dog did. After a decade of being with us, she passed away from old age in her sleep. It wasn't unexpected or anything. We could already see her getting more and more tired, and slowing down in the months and weeks leading up to it. Those 11 years of playing soccer, running around and going on walks finally tired her little body out, but she at least got to enjoy every moment of her remaining life. Her mood was great up until the end, though. Even though she got tired extremely fast, she still wanted to play every time. It's always sad to bury a friend but it also fills me with a sort of joy that she died like this, because I know that we really were her forever home. From the moment they put the bow on her neck to the moment she closed her eyes for the last time, she finally had a home and a family of her own that loved her. :)

Cudos to this guy! It’s obvious he cares for these dogs!

Instead of saying "we need people like you" I'm going to say "I need to be like them" God Bless

This video didn’t make the 45 years old grown man that I am cry like a child, it’s just that there’s so much pollen outside these days, my eyes can’t stand it… Dogs are so the best living creatures ! They’re just pure raw love ❤️ !

I cried. Not gonna lie. So much love. God bless you.

You just have to cry with joy tears when they run to their new families!

One day this man will go to heaven without any testings. Just imagine him, meeting all the little pups, who was saved due to His big loving heart 😭❤

heart warming. saddest part is when they see their owners leaving surrendering them. but the happy part is, they get to go to a better family. thanks for saving all these very precious souls.

In 2006 I went to Fayette Friends of Animals and adopted a border collie mix named Lola! She was such a joy to me! She got sick in2017 and had to be put down by her vet! I was with her kissing her forehead and told her I loved her and we will meet again!❤ RIP LOLA!

I’m literally crying tears of sadness and tears of happiness. The surrenders are heartbreaking. The adoptions are joyful.

I DO NOT CRY....I'M TOUGH....DE-SENSITIZED...I DO ME...DON'T GIVE A PHAARQUE....DON'T CRY......I cried....the sweetest most heart warming vid I've ever seen !!!!

Please accept my respect and thanks for the passionate care and love for these dogs. You have a great innerbeauty that shows what kind of precious one you are Blessings and peace be with you always.

Thank you for saving their life. Please don't abandon your loved pets because they cannot survive without your love and support. One day my dog escaped from my house she doesn't know anything about outside world, since she were given to us when she was a puppy. And that night she straightly ran to the road, and I was really worry about her because she trapped in the road with vehicles. I ran to the road with my mom and finally one of my neighbour helped us to catch her if that man didn't help my baby girl would have gotten killed by vehicles. And that's why I always protect her because they don't know how to survive without our help. There are so many animals including dogs suffer, this makes me so sad 😢protect them don't abandon them

When my dog first came into the house, she spent at least 20 minutes like crazy climbing on each of us and licking. They understand and know more than we think.

I'm crying. I had a lovely German Shepherd for 14 years. And I remember the look on his face every time I stepped out. He always wanted to go with me. And when I returned, I always found him waiting outside. I used to see him wagging his tail from a 100-metre distance and he would be all excited and shower me with kisses once I approached him. We had to put him to rest on the vet's suggestion. He was with me from 2003 to 2017. And will remain in my memories until I die.

This video warmed my heart. Thank you for finding these dogs homes.
