When a beloved pet dies, it can be a heartbreaking experience. One you feel like you’re never going to recover from.
It does take time to heal, and by then, you feel prepared to open your heart to another pet in your life. That’s what happened to Steve Grieg after his dog had passed.
He wanted to open up his heart to another dog. Unfortunately he needed the right dog to bring into his life.
He went to his local shelter and sought the “most unadoptable” senior dog that they had. Grieg wanted to find dogs who had been overlooked and ignored.
Nowadays has 10 shelter dogs who couldn’t be happier about him taking all of them home. Even has an Instagram filled with pictures. Taking care of them is a lot of work. He has to get up at five in the morning in order to prepare a large breakfast for all of his doggy children.
They all have special diets that need to be catered to, so it’s definitely a lot of work. And then after a meal, he takes them all out on walks to the park: Also ppointments at the vet, and filling the rest of their day with hugs and cuddles that they deserve.
Having senior dogs is easy, as they don’t have to be trained new tricks. They like to take life slow, and that’s just fine with Steve. Once he sits down after a long hard day, there’s always a few dogs attached to his legs.
Knowing that he makes them happy is all that he needs to continue doing what he loves. These dogs aren’t the only ones to benefit from his love and care.
He also has a pet pig named Bikini, two ducks, some pigeons, chickens and a few cats. He has a veritable animal farm in his yard, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Although he doesn’t have any more room to take in more senior dogs, he does intend to expand in the future. So that no shelter dog will ever have to feel unloved ever again.
